Iron Man



My last cake before hols.   A 9" x 6" sponge filled with jam & whipped buttercream.  I used a kids colouring page to cut out each piece of Iron Man to build up the image.  It didnt take quite as long as I thought it would

Finleys George pig cake


I forgot to take a picture so unfortunately it is still in its box.  Taken from a George colouring page which I enlarged on the photocopier until it was the right size then cut out each piece and used the pieces as a template to cut out the cake.  I didnt have the right colour blue so I was brave and got my airbrush out - and am really pleased with the even colouring.

Woodpecker bird box



This is my first attempt at airbrushing a cake. 

The cake was an 8" fruit cake that I cut into 4 then stacked 3 on top of each other to form the shape before marzipanning and covering with sugarpaste.

 The roof was white icing that I airbrushed grey then added the tile effect - although you cannot see it on the picture, I then airbrushed the sides of the birdbox.

The woodpeckers were made following the instruction in Frances McNaughtons new book - 20 to make Sugar Birds.  Loads of quick and easy birds to make in there - well 20 in fact.

Jessica's 1st Birthday


A version of a cake that one of the BSG forum members made. SO much easier than a No 1 cake and you get more cake for your money. 8" sponge on a 12" board.
