Princess Castle

My very pink princess castle.  I really love this cake - so girly and pretty.  The bottom three tiers are filled with layers of white chocolate mudcake with strawberry buttercream.  All the decorations with the exception of the beads and the fairy are hand-moulded fondant.

 My ugly bug cake!!  This was the first time I had attempted a round cake.  His body is cake with the tail and head hand-moulded in fondant.  My favorite part of this cake is the two little bugs - they are so cute.  Hope you enjoyed it Josh - happy birthday!!!
This mushroom cake was the biggest challenge I have given myself so far.  The cakes were strawberry cakes with strawberry buttercream.  The mushrooms and fairies were hand-moulded with fondant.  I am really happy with the final result.  Happy birthday Sophie!

Cupcakes for a 16th

Croquembuche

My very first attempt at a croquembuche - each pastry is filled with either vanilla or chocolate continental custard and then dipped in chocolate.  Yummy!!!

Cute Cupcakes

Cute ladybirds and bees with buttons and bows.  So much fun working with fondant - I really loved making these.

 Anyone for chess?  When cut there are small white and chocolate squares inside reflecting the pattern on the top.  The entire cake is covered in chocolate ganach and chocolate squares.
