Did some one say pamper day ! Yes please …. Oh to be 9 years old again ha ha.
Beautiful heart design inspired by a labubu heart I had made the customer the previous year as she loved it so much.
All the toppers made by me - keeping them young and fun with a bit of fluffy luxe.
Fondant base covering with buttercream piping for a solid decorating duo.
❤️❤️❤️
The end photos also show the levels of how budgets work. With basic design to start developing into fully loaded designs. As always The more you want on a cake the higher your price will be and that’s a good visual example 😘👌🏻

The brief for this cake was mermaid theme and rainbows and to include the live action mermaid specifically - I came across a gorgeous cake by bakedbyjulie and immediately knew that was going to be the inspiration. I mocked up a cake design for the customer and this was the final outcome.
Lots of piping, seashells and mermaid tails, bubble details and of course the focal point print in the centre. The rainbows i made miniature and kept to the same colour theme so it didn’t clash. I think they’re super cute 🥰🥰

Beautiful princess cake for a special 5year old birthday girl. Mum wanted the princesses to represent her daughter and this artwork I purchased on Etsy was just perfect ! Each topper I backed with white glitter card for that extra sparkle.
The fondant blend softly speaks delicacy whilst the hand placed gold beading is pure luxury.
Enjoy these cakes so much.

Oh my gosh ! This cake !!!!! I swear it weighed at least 20kg. I was shaking after taking it from the car to the venue for set up. An absolutely stunner of a cake. Needed my friend to help me hold it - this was not one for the weak!
When designer and luxury meet cake !
A trio of vintage handbags in soft pastels for a very very special 60th birthday celebration.
3 different flavours - one in each bag all cake !
Paired with silk florals this cake was an absolute showpiece !

Two infinity and beyond !!!!! I absolutely love making card toppers and bringing cakes to life. Edible printed buzz front and Toy Story logo surrounded by super fun Toy Story characters.
Such a popular theme still to this day so it’s great to get create and make all the cakes look different each time.

Gorgeous white and black buttercream heart with gold edible pearl details - yes !!!! These were added by hand , ONE BY ONE! Did I hold my breath the entire time - yes lol but it was worth it.
Slim black accent bows to finish it off - love ! 🖤 🤍

Barcelona shirt and matching cupcakes. So many football theme cakes this year ! This was definitely one of the hardest colour wise - but lucky for me my edible printer was there to save the day as always.

Teletubbies have been popular again lately - are they making a comeback ?!
These photos are a pure example of making sure the customer is happy - sometimes I’ll create the design and then send a photo - but it just needs a little tweaking to be inline with the customer vision ..
I like all 3 versions but I’m a simple girl so the plain one is my fav. I do always have to remind myself that we all have different tastes and preferences so I try to fully embrace direction and inspiration where needed 😉
Which one is your favourite ?! Bubbas face masked for privacy purposes. ❤️

Awesome comic pop cake ! Design sent by the customer - it’s just amazing how such a simple thing as black outlining can send that visual into mega pop !
Hand rolled black fondant detailing which takes absolutely forever but the result will always be 100% worth it.
A little naked shot ( of the cake before its dressing ha ha ) in the images.

Really loved this cake ! I’ve known this family for many years with our children being at school together since reception ! So making this milestone cake was a lovely honour to be asked. They created the design via chat gpt - and I got to work !
Edible print of course was the hero of this cake showing off that incredible Afrocentric design which was as close the mock up as I could create.
Mirror gold card used for the wording and front toppers for pure luxury and elegance
Happy 50th Geoff !!
