Made this one a few weeks ago for a friend’s daughter’s party. The inspo picture they provided was a fondant cake, and they resignedly said that they didn’t like fondant, but assumed that to get the look they wanted, they’d just have to put up with it. But no! I assured them. This is a […]

Shockingly enough, this week we are back to cakes! It’ll be cake next week too, as I’m running one behind for you at the moment 🙂 Anyway, this was a super quick one I made for my husband to take to work. As Liana helpfully pointed out, it does indeed look like I put a

Quick lil unicorn cake this time for the family birthday girl, who has been unicorn-obsessed since before they were popular <3 (Clearly not influenced by her mother, ah ha ha no way.) I’ve been sick all week with a horrible cough on top of the whole gluten-induced misery, so I literally only baked the cake

Cake! Made this lil fellow at my in-laws’ house over the holidays on the spur of the moment, so I didn’t have any of my equipment etc with me. I had to get a bit creative at times, but overall I think it turned out okay 🙂 This was for a kid’s birthday party. Milk

My longest friend got married on the weekend, and naturally, I had the privilege of making the cake. This was the most interesting cake brief that I think I’ve ever had: gum leaves, caramel popcorn and cotton flowers! The cake was for ~110 people, so I needed four cakes (I tend to allow 25-30 wedding-style

Lots of baking this weekend in preparation for a wedding cake next week 🙂 The two in front are the two halves of a caramel mud cake (which is actually for work, not the wedding cake, but anyway). At the back left is a white chocolate mud cake, and back right is a lemon and

Yay, another cake! I agreed to do this wedding cake for friends last year, before I knew what my schedule was going to be. Turns out it wasn’t a great week to be doing cake – we were out of town last weekend, and this week I had parent-teacher interviews on Thursday night, plus it

Another cake order this week, this time for a Harry Potter birthday cake. They requested the ‘assorted items’ look, so that’s what we went with. I wasn’t planning to add in the invisibility cloak, but I went to put the hat and wand on the cake, and it was brown-on-brown and that was terrible. So

Another cake for another party, though for an adult this time 🙂 I was pretty happy with how this one turned out – not only did the decorations end up super pretty (and the violin didn’t break, woohoo!), but the cake itself was nut-free, dairy-free, egg-free, refined-sugar-free and gluten-free, but it still had a lovely

Birthday cake for a dragons-and-knights-and-princes-and-princesses party. The cake was a five-minute quickie type thing, but the dragon took a good three hours the night before to sculpt. It was fun, even if it did mean a much later night than planned, and it was totally worth it all to watch it breathe fire when we
