Bling 18th for Ashleigh
One of my favourite cakes so far!
I was so excited to use the bling diamond mesh banding which I had purchased to try for my wedding cake!
For this cake I was given a picture of the style of cake and I used what I had to make it so fabulous! I am very proud of how this turned out and I am hoping that Ashleigh loved it as much as I did!!
The silver hearts on the 2nd and 3rd tier were hand piped with royal icing, left to dry and then painted with edible metallic paint. They were definitly the most difficult and time consuming part of the cake but definitly well worth it i think!
When the cake got the the party more of the pink hearts on top were added to make it more extravagant. I didnt add them before as I was worried they would get too much movement in the car and the wire would bend too much.

Timmy Time for Layla
Timmy...it's Timmy! He's the little lamb with a lot to learn! (I am not a fan of this kids show!) The song just gets stuck in your head!!
The little picket fence would have to be my favourite part on this cake, I guess I just like anything miniaturised :-)
I was very nervous about making Timmy and I left him right till the end. I was actually very pleased with how he turned out, being my first figurine made out of fondant. My son Rhys knew who he was so I was hoping little Layla did too :-)

Lady Bug Cake Toppers
Assassin's Creed Cake
This was made for my cousin Ben. When I was first asked to make it I had not idea what Assassin's Creed was...so a little research was needed!
I really wanted to finish the cake off with some blood splatters as I found out it was a violent war game...but his mum said "nah...leave it how it is" LOL
The letters and symbol were hand cut with a small blade scalpel to match the game exactly :-)

Jack Daniels Bottles
Jack daniels cake made especially for my partner Brad's 30th Birthday!
I was given 2 days notice of what he wanted which is why the labels werent edible...if I had of had time to prepare I would of had the labels printed onto rice paper...but I still think it turned out ok.
Originally I was only going to create one bottle, however once it was complete I was not convinced that it was going to feed everyone so I made another from the left over cake...this is why they look a little different in size.
It was definitly an adult only cake as actual Jack Daniels was used in the cake mixture :-)

House Warming Cake
My friend Leteisha had just moved into a new house and what better excuse to try a new cake :-)
The hardest part was the frog! Very fidily...but my favourite part was that the reeds were all edible..I used raw spaghetti as the stems which I thought made them look very realistic :-)
