Wedding Fayre and Latest Cakes

Well it's been a while since I've blogged again......oops, I said I wasn't going to leave such a gap but we've been so busy.  We did our first wedding fayre at the weekend and we had a very good time and gave out lots of sample cakes and met lots of lovely people, even got some wedding cake orders, so I guess we did a good job.  Our cake bites went down very well too, some of the comments we got were 'I'm in heaven', 'it's like a party in my mouth', and 'amazing', we sell them as wedding favours and they are very scrummy. 

Anyway, I'll keep things brief and leave you with a selection of pictures of some cakes we've been making since the last blog post.

I said we'd been busy, and that's not including the cupcake orders we've had go out!

Baby shower, Chihuahua and hearts

These are some baby shower cupcakes we did a couple of weeks ago, they are vanilla cupcakes with multi coloured sprinkles and handmade sugarpaste decorations.  The decorations are little prams, bibs, baby grows and teddy bears in shades of pink, blue, lilac, yellow and green.

A hand painted decorated cake this time featuring a chihuahua.  I use Sugarflair food colouring pastes which are great for painting with, I use them in the same way as painting with water colour paints.

Another celebration cake, this time simply decorated with red hearts, piped beading and a crimped pattern edging.

Art Deco cake & 90th birthday cake

The inspiration for this cake came from a mug, I don't know who the original artist is as there were no details, but I've recreated it on a cake.  This cake was commissioned by my mum for my aunt who happens to love  art deco and was thrilled with this cake. 

The whole cake was iced in black sugarpaste, then I rolled out a white piece of sugarpaste to the same size as the cake to paint the picture on.  Once painted I then cut round the painting and transferred it onto the cake.

I finished it off with some piped icing beads around the base of the cake in the same colour as her dress.

Here's a nintieth birthday cake we did at the weekend.  The nine is vanilla sponge with jam and buttercream and the zero is chocolate sponge with chocolate buttercream.  It's decorated with purple flowers made out of sugarpaste and has piped beads round the base of the numbers and satin ribbon. 

We were asked to add something to stick some candles on the board, so in keeping with the design of the cake, made more flowers with extra sugarpaste underneath so they could stick the candles into those.  Good job they didn't want to put 90 candles on the cake, we would've needed a sllightly bigger board!

Girly Fashion Cake

This pretty cake was for a young girl who loves fashion and we were asked to make a cake that was pink, purple and girly.  I think it ticks all the boxes.

Blue & White Stripe Birthday Cake

This was a whopping 12 inch square cake and boy was it heavy!  We were just asked to do a cake in blue and white so I came up with this striped look to keep the decoration simple and suitable for a man.
