Cakes Of Occasion

My local gym were celebrating their 5th Birthday  ( With all the cake I HAVE to go to the gym!!) as they have all become friends they asked me to make a cake, im going to call it my first ‘corporate’ cake ha! I was told it can be a very simple and easy cake…….I don’t do simple lol so I went for a 3D dumbbell cake! Covering the dumbbells and getting them to stand up was tricky and I had Jessicas cake, this cake and the next cake all to do within days of each other so I was rather stressed but everyone was so so thrilled with the finished cake and they didn’t want to cut it!!!!Makes it all worth it!

Well, I did Jessica’s Christening cake, so her mum came to me for her 1st Birthday cake too! She had quite a specific idea in mind which just sounded so lovely! I wish I had made this for My daughters birthday!!  This cake almost looks simple, but I think by now you will realise, they are never easy !! The cake needed to be able to be separated for 2 parties. The fondant was super soft as its a different make so im not sure if it did the job without pulling it a part a bit , hopefully it did!!!!

This year has gone so fast! This year we had a smaller gathering and so smaller cake! Maddy loves animals so she had a zoo theme party with a lion cake. This cake really didn’t take long to do! It was all chocolate!!!!! Yum!!! Finally got to again taste a cake I made and it was sooooo yummy!! I don’t normally make cupcakes but this year  they went very well with the cake

A little girl loves horses and this girl was no exception wanting a cake with a horse on it! I saw a design very similar on the internet and it was perfect! Not too big but different to anything ive done before Pink Buttercream, of course, and madeira . Even though the piping was a little tricky and didn’t half hurt my had,  I would be happy to do this cake over and over again!

I was asked to do a cake based around a fairy land/gardens with pretty girlie things. This cake turned out well, huge! but you can never have too much cake! Making the fairy was tricky and time consuming and that rainbow was my worst enemy for a while! In hindsight I should have made it from gumpaste so it would have remained ridged but it still worked out fine!! Phew!

You will most likely recognise this cake! It is the same as one I did when I very first started doing cakes !!!! ( And I did a green version not long ago too!!) The client liked that one so much she just wanted a replica for her mums 60th, no mention of 60 and a fun cake! Its all very pink but it tastes yellow as in Lemon! Lemon buttercream and cake! It was fun to make, I just wish I got to try some!!!!

My husband is a keen cyclist so I did get his input on this one!! I love how bright and  almost whimsical this cake turned out. The Sky I just dabbed on blue colouring. I would LOVE and airbrushing kit and it would have been great for this kind of challenge but as it happened, the sky turned out so well regardless. I often get worried half way through a cake about how it will turn out as they often just don’t look good! But it always works out okay, its just the process the cake has to go through!!! I believe this cake went down a storm and when the lady picked it up she had to give me a big hug. That made me smile
