Boots

An 8" chocolate sponge with vanilla buttercream. A friends little girl is Dora the Explora mad especially the character Boots. He is made from Sugarpaste.

A cake design I found whilst surfing and came across Debbies Sweet Art. www.debbiebone.co.uk Just seemed perfect for my tank mad husbands birthday. So here is my take on her design. A rich fruit cake with marzipan and sand coloured sugarpaste. My son even helped paint some of the camouflage!

Train Christening

Rich fruit cake 12" base with a 6" sponge and buttercream top tier. Lots of stars, blocks and a train for a little boys special day. Design inspired by one of Catherine Scotts cakes. www.catherines-cakes.co.uk

Noahs Ark

A fun vanilla sponge and buttercream cake with lots and lots of sugarpaste animals! Design based mainly on Debbie Browns original who I was lucky enough to meet and chat with at a domonstration.

Next is a cherry and almond Madeira cake with marzipan followed by a chocolate fudge cake with a chocolate Bailey's Butter cream and the top tier is as for the base tier. The whole cake is topped off with a spray of white and blue pearl beads.

Little Doll

Egg free chocolate sponge cake with vanilla butter cream filling, made for a little girl who is very allergic to eggs. I never realised the number of things I use that have eggs in them....icing sugar would you believe! This was a challenge and so was the lighting...Where is the sun?
