Donald and Mickey



I been asked for a birthday cake for a little girl who was mad about Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse. In my wisdom I thought it would be a great idea if I made them in sugar rather than getting a picture of them printed onto icing. It was a tough job as both characters are so well known I had to get them just right. I think I did a pretty good job though.

Here's what they looked like on the cake.

Peppa's Brother


This is Peppa Pigs brother, George. This cake is a 10" vanilla cake covered with buttercream and decorated with handmade sugar figures.

Roses



Another 10" fruit cake but for a Golden Wedding Anniversary this time. Went a bit plain and simple with this one and added some roses (first ones I've ever made). I was really pleased with them and thought the cake looked great.

Hill Walking Cake



This is a 10" fruit cake which I made for a couple celebrating their Ruby wedding Anniversary. They are very keen walkers and the lady who ordered the cake wanted me to design something with that in mind. She loved it so much she sent me a thankyou card which made my day.

Flowers, Flowers, Flowers


An 8" vanilla sponge decorated with lots of handmade sugar flowers.





An 8" carrot cake with cream cheese forsting decorated with yet more handemade sugar flowers.

A Cake Made In A Hurry



This was a joint birthday cake that I made for my sister and my son whose birthdays are very close together. We had a family picnic to celebrate and I made this cake in a bit of a rush as I had a huge order for Su Casa that day as well.

Mairi really liked my take on the Orla Kiely design and you can just about see the racing car I made for Conal.

It's an 8" vanilla sponge cake.

Conal's Birthday Cake


Not the best picture and the background leaves a lot to be desired but this is a birthday cake for a very special wee fella who turned 6 recently.

At his request it's an 8" chocolate mud cake decorated with hand made fondant figure.
