Traceys Wedding cake

Here is a wedding cake that is made for a ceremony in Gretna Green on Thursday. There will be a matching cutting carrot cake for the evening reception on Saturday. The cake is not real - just a dummy - 9" double depth, 7" standard depth and 5" 1 1/2 depth. The flowers are from the patchwork cutters fantasy flowers set.

It is my cake stand that they will be borrowing.

Mothers Day cake

The second cake was for Mothers day 2009. I had recently attended a one day modelling course in Swindon with Ann Pickard - what a fabulous tutor she is. If you get the chance to attend one of her classes, I would definately recomend it. She is back in Swindon on Aug 16th 2009

Our final model of the day was a lady sat in an armchair. My lady was knitting and I decided to use it as a topper for my Mum's mothers day cake. It was an 10" madeira sponge cake (recipe from the Ann pickard books). Finish was not great and I do not think I kneaded the icing enough to make it pliable but we live and learn.

First cakes

These are the first cakes that I have baked and decorated from scratch.

The first was for my mum's 65th Birthday. It was an 8" fruit cake that i used patchwork cutters from the christmas midi set to decorate. I also used the tappits alphabet cutters.
