We are really lucky to live less than 45 minutes away from the Trafford Centre. Such a variety of shops, with free parking and no need to get wet or cold as it is all under cover (I cannot STAND being cold & wet!) Obviously, after a ...
How to make a Funfetti Sprinkle Cake
This Rainbow Confetti or Funfetti Sprinkle Cake was one of the first cakes I made after coming back to cake decorating. I completely loved the colours and the style and it really got me back into being hooked straightaway. I didn't come up ...
70th Birthday Cake with White Sugar Roses #BakeoftheWeek
I'm bringing you a delicate, pretty birthday cake for this week's #BakeoftheWeek. Made for a friend's Mum on her 70th birthday last weekend - I was so pleased to be able to make her 'special' birthday cake. My brief was 'Elegant' so ...
