Nine in a bed

This is a 8 x 10" fruit cake. The brief was a grandad reading a story to his 9 grandchildren. I was a bit daunted at first, but once I got going it was fine. First time using Karen Davies face mould and I am really pleased with them, just need to perfect my face painting.

Christmas cake

This is a very quick christmas cake for some guys that I work with. It is a 8" square fruit cake that has been marzipanned & regal iced. The holly is made from green flowerpaste and the bow from regalice with CMC added. The banner is grey flowerpaste, embossed with a patchwork cutter and then sprayed with PME Pearl lustre spray.

Santa Cupcakes

These were quick and easy cupcakes that I made for my kids school Christmas party for tomorrow. I bought the cakes from the co-op today to make it quicker. I saw these being made at the NEC in November. It is basically a circle of pink sugar paste, then a semi circle of red. Cut a larger scalloped circle out if white and then cut a moon shape. Then add Santa's nose, pipe his moustache & hat trim. Finally add a wedge of red to be the hat bent forward and a ball of red sugar paste rolled in disco red edible art glitter.

Christmas cake

This is the christmas cake that I made at my evening class. My first attempt at Poinsettia's, Ivy and also stencilling with royal icing.

Metallica Cake

This is a 12" HD sponge cake filled with Jam & buttercream. The Metallica logo was originally done as a runout but it cracked just as I was putting it onto the cake so I quickly remade it from paste and them sprayed it with PME pearl lutre spray. The Metallica writting on the side is a royal iced tun out while the lettering on the front ofthe cake is cut from curly tappits with the curls removed. Again it is sprayed with pearl lustre.

Ann Pickard Modelling course

Had a lovely day today modelling on a course with Ann Pickard in Swindon. We started off with the animals then progressed onto the christmas things and finally Santa.

Iggle Piggle

This is my first attempt at a number cake and possible my last. What a nightmare they are to cover. I also had problems with making the cake. Turns out I was over beating the mixture.
