Royal-looking cakes for the Diamond Jubilee

Vroom vroom, yum yum!

I was commissioned to make a red Fiat Punto cake for a young lady who turned 21 last week and loves her car. She calls her car Fred, hence the name of the registration plate.

I got great feedback on the cake from the person who asked me to make it. Always nice to hear from satisfied customers! :)

Mickey Bubles wishes you a Happy Easter

For my Mother in law's 60th Birthday I was asked to make an "Easter themed" cake. I know she adores Michael Bublé so I also wanted to include him in the cake.

More Birthday cake!

as it was my friend's Brigitte's birthday on Saturday, I made her a yummy French chocolate cake with Japanese "Kawai" inspiraton decorations on top: coloured sugarpaste , strawberry buttercream and sweets.

 And I got the opportunity to put my brand new business cards around the cake. A littl promotion has never hurt anyone! :)
