Skip Rat Cake

This was an unseal cake, it's not every day your asked to do a skip rat cake for someone's father in-law who is turning 50!

Vanilla cake again, this was a simple shape but it was the attention to detail that would make it what it is. I made all kinds of different rubbish to go in the skip. From a metres to a broken TV, bricks, pipes, boxes and wheels. Not forgetting the little mini rates made to scuttle around the skip.


I then decided to air brush the side of the skip with the name, age, and message because when you see a skip these days they usually have the name and number of the company sprayed on the side! I then used some of the paint to dirty up the skip and make it look more authentic.


A very fun cake again, one I always get raised eyebrows about when I mention it in the list of unusual cakes I have done.

Beach Buggy Cake

This was the first ever novelty cake I ever did! It was for my dads 50th birthday 4 years ago. I had no idea what I was doing but I got there in the end. Made many many terrible mistakes but my dad was so pleased! I felt like I had really accomplished something :)



The reason a Beach Buggy was chosen as the cake for my dads 50th is this... They had a Beach Buggy before I was born and sold it to be able to get a deposit for a mortgage. When I was bout 14 years old my Dad found a Beach Buggy the same make and modal as the one he sold and decided to buy and refurbish it. I always swore I would be old enough to drive it before he managed to get it back on the road as you have to be 25 or over to drive a classic car which this is classed as. I'm 30 this year and he still hasn't finished it! Its a little joke in the family :)

So for his birthday I wanted to give him at least one finished Beach Buggy!
