Lughan - Guess How Much I Love You

 Lughan turned one last weekend and, as we are still in lockdown, his mam had cupcakes for all the family to enjoy during a Zoom Birthday Party. How cool is that?

The cake is a tall 6" chocolate fudge and the cupcakes are vanilla. Everything is handpainted and handmade.

Freya - Watermelon and unicorns birthday

 Freya, along with her mam, has been coming to my house for a couple of years now to pick up cakes for other family members. Finally, she got to pick up one for herself.

Her communion cake never got to go ahead so it was all systems go for her birthday.

The cake is an 8" red velvet with choc chips and white chocolate frosting and the cupcakes were vanilla funfetti and decorated with unicorns and rainbows and as much glitter as I could add.

Julie - It's a boy! Cupcakes

Julie ordered these personalised vanilla cupcakes for a recent celebration.

.Call of Duty Modern Warfare Launch 2019

I know what I'm good at and I know who to call when I feel I won't be good enough.

Enter Maria McDonald of Sugar Duckie Cake Designs. We were asked to make cupcakes and something sculptural for the 2019 launch of Call of Duty, "along the lines of what you did last year".

Last year I could do... this year I knew that Maria would make something phenomenal if asked. So I asked her! She made this fabulous bust of Captain Price. He is edible as he is made of rice crispie treats and modelling chocolate but I imagine he will live out his days in Ruth's office.

I love working with clients who trust me and love working with other cake makers, especially when they are as talented as my mate.

Yosi - Elmo Birthday Cake

Yosi turned one yesterday and he loves Elmo. The cake is an 8" vanilla and raspberry and I, Niamh aged 46, still love Sesame Street!

The cupcakes are chocolate fudge, toppers are handmade and edible. 

Holly - Pink Ombre 21st Birthday cake

Maureen ordered this 8" red velvet cake, with pink ombre buttercream swirls, for Holly's 21st birthday. We also made a selection of chocolate and vanilla cupcakes decorated with handmade roses and flowers. Everything is edible and handmade

Toy Show Treats

The Late Late Show is having a competition to win the LAST two tickets for the toy show (happening in two weeks time). We were asked to make a couple of nice things for Ryan. Bernie made this fabulous gingerbread house So fabulous in fact she's going to make a few more (one for me I hope). Honestly, the smell of ginger was delightful. I got to make the mini Ryan, decorate cupcakes and try my hand at biscuits. Great fun all around.
