I made this cake for my daughter Jessica's birthday, she is going through the 'I LOVE BARBIE' phase so I was more than happy to give this cake a try!! |
I made 3 sponge cakes in ascending sizes which were sandwiched with pink (naturally!!) buttercream and carved to create the base of the dress. |
This was then covered with a layer of white fondant then built up further with a selection of different pinks and lilacs to give the layered effect. |
I then went mad with glitter and created various sizes and colours of flowers for the main body of the dress. I then wrapped Barbie in clingfilm and carefully pushed her into the cake, building up a layer of fondant over her torso to create the bodice. |
Jess was over the moon with her cake - even happier that she has ended up with another Barbie to add to her ever growing collection of dolls! Looks like I'll be making one for my niece too...!! |

Roulette Wheel Cake
Made for my sisters sister in-law (complicated hahaha) who is soon off to Las Vegas for a holiday! |
Sarah is a very big fan of chocolate so naturally I had to make the cake as chocolatey as possible! I made a chocolate sponge filled and covered with chocolate ganache. This was then covered in a mixture of plain white and chocolate fondant which I lightly kneeded together to produce the wood effect for the roulette wheel. |
Once the cake was made and covered I then went about creating the finishing touches. The wheel spinner was made out of fimo as this sets hard when baked, then covered in a film of gold glitter. |
The coloured section was then carefully created followed by the dice, cards and cheeky copy of the Las Vegas sign! |
Frank from Cars Model
Another order from my flyer in a local shop! I got home to find a message about a combine harvester…. Not sure how to do that but hey im game! Called the lady back to discuss her requirements. Not quite a straight forward cake order but definitely a challenge I was willing to try!

spider cake!
The cake was created for my husband's birthday. I had already bought some spider cufflinks as one of his gifts so when shopping for wrapping paper and birthday cards, we found spiders everywhere and I thought it would be fun to continue the theme!
|
belinda bear cake!
For this cake I made 2 vanilla sponge cakes. The main body was cut, shaped and moulded from a rectangle sponge. The head, arms and legs all from a square sponge. The layers were all sandwiched with vanilla buttercream.
|
sushi cake!
I started off making the sushi pieces. The rice roll-up mixture was made with melted marshmallow, butter and rice crispies left to set in a greased tin. They were then rolled up with wine gums and covered in dark green fondant. The rest of the sushi was made using various shades of fondant to create fish-like slabs, egg and butterfly prawns. At the front of the block is pickled ginger and wasabi. The chopsticks and soy sauce bowl were also made from fondant and a little chocolate sauce!

ariel the little mermaid cake
This cake was made for our daughter's 3rd birthday. As you can see, like most little girls she has a love for Disney Princesses! She had been very specific about what she wanted for her birthday, so I decided it was time to give the fondant a try!

ruby wedding anniversary cake
For this cake, I baked two square vanilla sponges which were shaped and sandwiched with strawberry jam and vanilla buttercream. I then covered the cake with white fondant and formed the 40 out of burgundy fondant flowers and hearts in various sizes. I continued this theme around the corners of the cake and on the sides.

hey diddle diddle baby shower cake
This cake was made for my sister in law who we arranged a surprise baby shower for! I had been keen to try a 2-tier cake and this was the perfect opportunity so the creative juices began to flow! I had the idea of basing the cake on a nursery rhyme and Hey Diddle Diddle seemed like the perfect challenge!
