My adorable niece had a birthday a while back and I had the fun of decorating the cake (extra fun because I didn’t even have to bake it first, woohoo!). This was a bit special because the bunnies on the cake are the bunnies from my sister’s cake when she turned three! So cute. Read

It is cake? Why yes, yes of course it is cake. HOWEVER I’m being slightly sneaky for this one and claiming a cake that I only sort of vicariously made. Actually, that’s not true: in all technical senses of the word, I made the cake, because I did bake it, and I did ice it,

This one was a retirement cake for a lovely person at my last place of work. Extra icing as filling by request, same with the fondant icing on the outside. Due to a series of minor but unfortunate events, this is also the cake where I learned that you can freeze a fondant-iced cake and

Decorated, as per

This week, a practice cake. I needed to test out the recipe before using it for a Big Paid Cake ™ so here we are. I’m glad I tested it first, as it does need a couple more tweaks. The verdict in the staffroom was that it was great – but notably, there were still

This one goes with the snake cake from last week. The client also needed to cater for vegans (including some serious lactose allergies), so originally I was just going to do the main cake vegan since this recipe is AMAZINGLY FLEXIBLE, but then they also really, really wanted a black forest cake, and there isn’t

I feel like I had something else to post here today that wasn’t cake, but I can’t remember what it was, and anyway there is Cake To Post, and who doesn’t love cake, right? Not great photos since I only photographed it in my fridge. And also, there was something weird going on structurally where
