Talia - Christening Cake

 Another delayed event finally got to take place this weekend. Talia's christening day. Tania, her mam, sent me a drawing months ago of a design she had in mind and I really enjoyed making it. Don't often get asked to make gorgeous bling. The cake is a 10" vanilla cake and everything is edible apart from the really sparkly bits. They had to be removed prior to cutting the cake.

Eddie - Covered in bees cake








Hannah asked that I make this 8" vanilla cake for an end of tour gift for Eddie Izzard. The brief was 'covered in bees' and ... it really was. I'd made 200 the weekend before, that just about covered the top of the cake lol. 

All the bees are edible and I even managed to squeeze in one of my favourite gags of 'cake or death?' Apparently, he loved the cake, so yay!! You can listen to his beekeeper skit here: https://youtu.be/2aFJCfoi8FU

p.s. I got to sit in the posh seats to see his show last night. Thank you Hannah x

Holly - Kitten Birthday Cake

It's hard to make a kitten look cheerful, I know, I tried for an hour!

Holly is 1 (very fast year) and loves her pet cat so we made a cake version. This is an 8" vanilla cake and even the whiskers can be eaten.

Katie & Nick - Navy and blush rose wedding cake

Katie and Nick tied the knot this weekend in the gorgeous Portmarnock Hotel (we got a sneak peek at them as they were married in the hotel itself) and this is the cake they asked us to make. 

Navy and white with blush pink roses to match the bridesmaids and the bouquets. The cake is made up of a 10" vanilla and raspberry, double-height 8" vanilla and raspberry and 6" traditional fruit cake. 

The roses are made from gum-paste and, if you wish, edible lol.
