60th Birthday Vintage Rose Lace Cake

 

So this weekend was my Mum's surprise Birthday party. Me and my sister have been planning it for months but she threw a spanner in the works by going into labour and giving birth to her baby in the back of her husband's car the night before the event. The party went on without them (sadly) and I made my Mum this pretty vintage style lace rose cake. All went well until after the speech when the cake stand decided to fall apart and the cake dropped onto it's side on the table and head towards the floor. Good job it was caught in the nick of time! It came off relatively unscathed to be honest and friends and family have enjoyed eating it today. So a stressful but enjoyable weekend and a lovely addition to our family, baby George.

Happy 70th Birthday Dad Golf and Gardening Cupcakes

 

Helen wanted a box of 24 cupcakes for her Dad's 70th Birthday. He's a fan of golf and gardening so we made him this cute box of buttercream grass and "soil" cupcakes with golf flags, seeds & seedlings, trowels, golf balls, bees and flower pots. Helen loved them and sent us this feedback:

 

"Thank you soooo much for the gorgeous cakes. Dad is made up with them. He thinks they're too good to eat! I agree xx"

 

 

Spiderman and "Tangled" Rapunzel Cupcake Tower

 

Emma asked us for a tower of cupcakes for the joint Birthday party of her daugher Eva and son Noah. As it was a Disney and Superhero fancy dress party, Eva's side was a "Tangled" Rapunzel theme with picture toppers, icing chameleons and Rapunzels' plaits. Noah's side was decorated with spiderman faces and photo toppers. Happy Birthday Noah and Eva!

Vintage Large Pink Sugarcraft Roses

 

I'm in love with vintage cakes right now and have always been rubbish at roses. I've had a go but never really had the knowledge or skill needed so I decided to treat myself to a place on a large rose course in Nottingham. I really enjoyed the course and brought home this beautiful pale pink sugar rose. I think it's pretty good for a first attempt - it needs refining and I need more practice but considering that ribbon roses were all I could make until yesterday, I'm thrilled with the results. Now I just need to practice, practice, practice!

 

 

Green and Cream Wedding Cupcake Tower

 

Clare and Mark married last week in sunny Cyprus. They were also having a party for friends and family back in Manchester and wanted us to create something pretty with a flower/butterfly theme to match their sage green and cream colour scheme.

All I can say is WOW!! They were amazing...thank you so much xx

Congratulations Clare and Mark!

Vintage Wedding Cupcakes

 

 

As much as I like making novelty cupcakes, they don't really "do it" for me. My heart belongs to these vintage wedding cupcakes that I made for Ben and Justine's wedding in the Lake District. The soft colours, vintage china and bird wrappers work perfectly together. Expect to see a lot more vintage cakes from now on!

Waybuloo 1st Birthday Cupcakes

 

Clare wanted some cupcakes for her son Raphael's 1st Birthday. Raffi loves Waybuloo so we made her this cute box of cakes with each of the charaters on a cake. Clare was thrilled with the cakes and sent us a cute photo of Raffi with his cupcake tower.

Vintage cupcakes - I've wanted to try this style of cupcake for a while but never seem to get a minute. So what better excuse to have then to make some for my big sister's Birthday. They're not perfect, I need to work on them but I'm pretty pleased for my first attempt!
