Topless Pinup Cake, 18+

 Its all icing I promise! Its the first time I have ever done a topless pinup, I was happy with the outcome as was the client. Well if she isn't embarrassed placing the order then why should I be making it!

Guinness Themed Retirement Cake

Good things come to those who wait! clearly waiting to retire from work is one of those things!

All completely edible. even the toucan, he was fun to make and I had to stop the husband from trying to steal him. 

Gibson, Les Paul Guitar Cake

So I just finished this cake yesterday for someone I work with, they originally asked for the cake to be as big as I could make it with money been no object. However when I advised what size of cake I could make and the cost, it became an object! :)

So I ended up scaling this one down to be 28 inches long instead of real Les Paul Guitar sized. Something that big would have been a nightmare to deliver anyway!

 I added an Amp as I had more cake left over and I didn't want to waste it. The cake is a chocolate with chocolate butter cream. I covered the whole of the cake in white fondant icing to start with, then I used a mixture of yellow, caramel, red and dark brown food colouring neat from the containers to pain the wood effect. Starting from the middle and pulling out with a paint brush. The side of the guitar was air brushed, took about 5 coats of different colours, red, black, caramel and dark brown to get the right effect.

The neck of the guitar is painted with black food colouring which gave it a nice sine. All of the little parts have been made from fondant icing with a hardening agent added, they have then been painted with gold or silver edible paint.

The crowning achievment I think was the strings which in its self took an hour to do. They are fishing string tied around a little metal hook and then slotted into the base where the strings would normally start and then it is tied to a cocktail stick which is inserted into the cake at the head end and then has a small piece of icing put over the top to hide this.

I really enjoyed doing this and it's been a while since I did something so details but it is one of the best cakes if not the best I have done I feel.

Porsche Boxter Cake

Again another car cake, I'm trying to get them out there while I can :) This one was a almost black, slightly purple, soft top Porsche Boxter. Again done in the similar way as the other car cakes but this time as it was a soft top the roof was painted with black food coloring to give the matte effect of the material after I had sprayed the car with mother of pearl. This one was vanilla again.

On this cake you will see the windows are white but I have put a wash of light blue food coloring over them to give a kind of glass glaze effect, just adds a little more detail to it.
