Birthday Bee

I was asked to make a Bumble bee cake this week. Looks easy, but turned out to bee (see what I did there?) more complicated than I thought! Love the finished cake though. Very cute.

And what about a ladybird, for some extra added colour?

Detailed, right down to the deely-boppers!

Lovely Birthday Cupcakes

Very simple post today. Some lovely birthday cupcakes made for a friend. Colour-coded, strawberry pink, mint green, lemon yellow!

I think mint green makes a great looking cupcake!

An explosion of cake

For my Granddad's 75th birthday I was asked to make a special cake for him. The design was left up to me, so I thought something with a bit of height would look really cool. So I came up with this!

Not the best photo but wanted to show a close-up of the explosion opening. Had to carefully carve and pull back the icing, then make wafer thin ribbons. A very fun challenge! Needless to say, Granddad enjoyed it.

Delicious Playstation

I was asked to do a PS3 cake for a friend's birthday and I got a bit scared. 

"Really?" I said.

"Well if it's too hard..." she said.

"No no no, I love a challenge!" said I.

So off I went, and many hours later I produced this...

I'm so happy with it! Wayne loved it too =]

The controller was made with rice crispy squares and I shaped the cake out of a 10inch Madeira. And hand painted the logo and the wording. 

Frostylocks went to the fair...

So I've been baking for a while now, but not really sold much, so off to the fair I went, peddling my wares. The craft fair was in Catforth, near Preston, in aid of the village hall which is facing closure. So I got a stall with my friend Carrie and started selling my yummy cakes to the village folk!

My lovely stall...

For the Anime fans

I was asked by a good friend to create a 'Boota' character cake for her boyfriend's birthday. Boota is a character from the Anime 'Gurren Lagann', as you can see...

And my version here-

Chilled-out frog

Yay! My first proper 'shaped' cake. Quite tricky, but think I pulled it off ok. Still room for improvement, but not bad at all for a first attempt!

I think he looks like Budda, sitting there quite content with himself.
