I've come out of retirement AGAIN! My brother-in-law was 40 last week so out came the sugarcraft equipment. Since I last did a 'proper' cake, our one and only sugarcraft shop in St Helens has closed so it was a bit of a challenge to get the ...

Ombre Ruffle Cake Tutorial
[col3][/col3] This is the best Ombre Ruffle Cake I've ever made - Ok, I'll be honest - Its the first Ombre Ruffle Cake I've ever made. (I need to do a tutorial so I remember it too!) I've had my eye on Ombre cakes for a while. I love ...
Tatty Teddy/Me to You Birthday Cake: Cake of the Week and a rare family photo
We had a lovely day yesterday. We held Violet's 7th birthday party. We were brave and invited the whole class plus extra friend's children. If everyone could have made it, we would have ended up with 55+ children but in the end, ...
Scooby Doo Cake – Cake of the Week
Why did no-one tell me about the joys of plastic figures earlier? I spent years of my life that I will never get back making teeny sugar figures and now I discover how brilliant pre bought figurines are. I temporarily came out of ...

A bold coloured cake can either be a complete success or a complete disaster in my experience. I had major doubts about this cake before I made it. The shade of blue and the shape of the 4 had to be spot on to do the number 4 ...

Harley Davidson/JCB Cake – Cake of the Week
Another crazily busy week but am so much chirpier than last week's Cake of the Week post. A lot of smaller cakes this week (including some Jubilee cupcakes that I forgot to take pictures of! Gasp!) It seemed that each of the cakes from ...
Raa Raa The Noisy Lion Cake – Cake of the Week
A totally new cake for me this week (Yay!) and the reason that Cake of the Week is running slightly late - Oops, we were out partying and then out with friends last night (Yep, we have some!) Anyway, on with the cakes - I have to admit ...
