Last year we had the pleasure of making a Triceratops for Zac's fourth birthday, this year he's all about pirates. This is an 8" chocolate biscuit cake. Everything is handmade and edible.
Fergal rang me looking for a cake for his lovely wife, Kiva. We chatted for a while about what would be best and then I rang her best friend who knew exactly what Kiva would want. A Cath Kidson, Def Leppard and Guns n' Roses fan . . . no problem
The cake is a 10" carved zesty lemon, a favourite of the family, and everything you see is edible.
Ten minutes before we were due to start this cake all I had was a font!! Seriously. I'd found a font similar to that used on the Cheerios uniform. Bernie arrived with the cake and we started work. I have to say, it came together perfectly. We managed to incorporate a lot of the Glee aspects: Cheerios, Bullying (big quench splatters on the lockers), the music and . . Journey! The cake itself is a 10" chocolate fudge. We had agreed a 10" round cake with the client but went a little bit more by providing a bigger cake so we had more room to have fun.
I share my life with a husband, 3 sons, 2 dogs and, sad face, 1 rat.
I frequently want to be left alone but after about five minutes I go into a panic and need company again. A contrary hooer through and through.
