After a long absence from the blog, I am back with loads of new stuff to post. Millions (well nearly) of cakey and baking books to review (its a serious addiction of mine and all part of the plan to own and use 200 good baking/cook books by the time I’m 40). I have been really busy with weddings but sadly have been very lax with the photos. Still lots to post about though, so lets get on shall we?
I’ve included for this post 2 of my favourite and most popular christening cake designs – The girly one is just so girly without being too frilly for me – the little kitten is edible and is placed in an icing box (which is a pain to make but worth it in the end). The design comes from Marian Frost and I first saw it at the Sugarcraft exhibition at the NEC a couple of years ago – that exhibition is on this weekend but sadly I am not attending this year. There is a cake tweet-up happening there on the Saturday which sounds brill but will have to wait until next year for me – Have a great time guys!
The ‘George’ cake can be changed for a girl – in fact I’ve done a pink and lemon version which was lovely. I like the bold colours and of course the little baby can have blond hair and blue eyes and even freckles! The idea for this cake was given to me by George’s Mum but sadly I cannot find who the original design belongs to – Please feel free to tell me if you know as I would love to credit them.
Coming soon Love Bakery – The review and Wedding Cake Madness – Some of the summer of fun!
I’m always on the lookout
Lovely cakes and blog
