Peppa Pig

I had so much fun making this cake. It's a 10" vanilla cake decorated with vanilla buttercream and handmade sugar decorations.

Angelika's Very Special Birthday

This was a birthday cake I made for a very nice lady. She loves carrot cake and so I made a 12" carrot cake with cream cheese icing decorated with handmade springtime flowers. She also ordered chocolate and vanilla cupcakes for the children who were coming to the party. These were also decorated with springtime flowers. She was delighted with it. So delighted that she then ordered a further two 8" carrot cakes for friends who couldn't make it to her party.

Fearghus and Duncan

Friends of the wee fellas had a birthday recently and their mum asked me to make a big delicious chocolate cake. This was a 10 inch chocolate mud cake with handmade sugar decorations. It is a terrible photo and my appologies for it but big fella wasn't around at the time to take one for me.

Carrot Cake

I've been supplying Su Casa, a cafe in Ayr, for a while now with various cakes and desserts and according to Lucas and Ben the carrot cake is a big hit.

2 Down

I've had 2 market selling experiences so far and both went extremely well. I sold most of my bakes (came home with only a couple of slices of cake) and had some really positive feedback with lots of inquiries about birthday cakes and cupcake gift boxes which is really encouraging.

It's hard work trying to juggle work, baking, childcare and running a house but I'm really enjoying it and know that this is what I want to be doing. I' so glad I took the plunge and opened the bakehouse and here's hoping things go from strength to strength.

Getting Ready

I'm getting ready for my first market stall selling experience. Yikes. My leaflets, business cards, boxes and cards are ready. My cake domes, stands and platters are ready. The cakes and cookies will be ready but I'm a wee bit nervous. What if I don't sell anything. What if I have to bring most of my bakes home again, oh the humiliation and frustration. I'll just need to give myself a pep talk from now 'til Sunday and I'm sure all will be well.

I'll let you know how I get on, send me good vibes for Sunday.

New

Here's a few of my recent bakes.
