I have a huge cake for this week's #BakeoftheWeek from me. Last week was my first major week since re-opening my cake business, Aardvark Cakes. There was slight trepidation - Could I remember how to make cakes? Had I slowed down a lot? ...

Tractor Cake & Rice Krispie Treats Tutorial
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 ...

Animal Print Cake
Not sure what exactly to call this cake - I'm thinking its animal print icing but is it a zebra or a tiger? I had completely free reign on this cake - I suggested red and black as Vicky's sister tells me that she isn't very girly so pink ...
Pink and Lilac 50th Birthday Cake
The first Cake of the week for 2012 and what a lovely relaxed cake to start with. For a friend of a friend, the only request was for sponge and pink, white and lilac. I haven't done any icing loops for ages and wanted a go at different ...
