Two Tier Wedding Cake Pink Flowers

This was the very first wedding cake I had ever done; at this point I had never made a cake this big or one that involved stacking. The people on the top of the cake are made of plastic I will admit that at this point I did not feel confident enough to be able to make people.

Both tiers are vanilla, dusted with mother of pearl lustre to give it a glitter. The flowers are made of three or four different colours in different shapes and sizes. It was scary but very satisfying when I finished it. The cake was also very well received by the bride and groom according to the lady who ordered it, It was surprise for them as they did not know exactly what they were getting :)

Pirate and Princess Cake

So, please forgive the delay in posting again, I have a good reason this time, I got married! I will post the wedding cake when we have the party so people can see.

So in light of this recent event, this month’s theme will be tiered cakes!

This is a little girls birthday cake for a themed party around Pirates and Princesses. It’s a 3 tier, two vanilla and the middle one chocolate although you could do any flavour. Each cake is on its own board and to do a tiered cake you need to have plastic supports in the cake below. Please see below diagram :)

This way you are not just adding cake onto cake, you are giving it a structure so its less likely to fall in on its self like a black hole!

The little Princesses and Pirates are all edible and the water at the bottom is just royal icing with blue food colouring mixed in.

The little flowers and pirate flags where just to add little touches.

Bugatti Veyron Cake

This is yet another car cake but this time with part of the Sunderland Football Club on the bonnet. A strange shaped car and a challenge the logo is painted with black food colouring and the silver parts with the edible silver paint again.

Skoda Rapid Cake

This was done for a friends brother, the car is as old as he is! it was a pleasure to do and I wanted to get it as close as I could to the real thing. On this cake I made a stand for the actual cake to sit on the if you looked under the car you could see though to the other side. Not something I had ever done before but it worked ok for this.

The stand was made from pink sculpting foam, covered in tin foil and then fixed to the board with a couple of screws through the bottom to hold it in place. Then the cake was built on top! made a couple of little traffic cones to fill out the board which look quite cute and called it there.

This car was still a challenge even though it doesn't have all the curves of a modern car. Instead of using a blue for the windows I used a grey/blue to add to the age of the vehicle.

Ambulance Cake

This was done for a girl who was in training to be a paramedic, her mother thought it would be something nice. Had to do another cake for this one as well as the normal 8 by 12, I did a 8 by 8 to build it up a little more. But this one was a little easier as not as many curves and dents. But its not a particular type of ambulance as I couldn't get details of the vehicle in question to the exact make and model so its an amalgamation of all different kinds.

So yeah, not too bad but could have used a bigger board, that's a 10 inch board its struggling to sit on.

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.

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!
