Wonderland Party!

Yesterday was a huge success, all of the 24 children had a fantastic time and the entertainers were beyond superb. Magical Quests are a company offering drama filled parties which allow any theme to be portrayed with full costumes and fabulous acting. The children believed they had stepped into Wonderland for the day. They met Alice, the Cheshire cat, the Mad Hatter, The Queen of hearts and the white rabbit on their voyage, playing plenty of games and doing lots of dancing the children could not have been more thrilled.

Here are a few pictures of the day! - I hope you enjoy

This is why I do what I do!

This morning I woke up to such a lovely comment from a client who had her wedding cake delivered yesterday, after first meeting at the Brighton Baby Expo I am so pleased she decided to have me make her cake and this is what she said -

"I am so glad you didn't show me any pictures of my cake. It was wonderful to see it for the first time as i left my ceremony as a newly married woman.
I can not begin to tell you how perfect it was. I had a tear in my eye when i saw it. I never imagined in my wildest dreams it would be as beautiful as it was. And it tasted absolutely amazing.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for making my dream come true."

Party planning madness

Well, my idea of trying to keep blogging more didn't work too well now did it.... oops.

At the moment I have had to turn my cake making into party planning for my daughter. It is her birthday in a mere 2 weeks.... (I'm trying not to panic)..... whats more it is meant to be outdoors..... with the ridiculous amount of rain through this so called 'drought' I am on tender hooks.

Not only do I have a Wedding cake for tomorrow -  (yay Julie's getting married), I also have a sculpted dinosaur cake for next weekend and then the Alice in Wonderland cake for my daughter.

Through all of the planning, making and stress I think I am officially more excited about this party than anyone at the moment, we have 22 of her friends coming and a fabulous cast from Magical Quests..... please check them out the are AMAZING! I currently have a whole host of decorations waiting to be put out, I have made a croquet set, along with a 5ft cut-out of the card guard, a cheshire cat for the apple tree, lots more props, then I decided to take on the laborious task of making all of the girls hair clips and friendship bracelets for the party bags, along with other goodies of course, so much hard work but well worth it I hope...?!!!?

Well this is the snow globe which has given me inspiration for my daughters cake and I will post some pictures of the party (if it goes well).

Long time no Blog!

So, it's now been 3 whole months since I have updated the blog but I am keen to make sure this becomes a regular occurrence!

The past three months have been rather busy, there was a Moulin Rouge cake, a Toy Story cake, another Gruffalo cake, hundreds of cupcakes and a Despicable me cake in the middle of being worked on.

After many emails and requests I have also launched classes to teach modelling skills using cocoform, 2 dates have now sold out already!

So for the time being here are some images and I will be back shortly showing you the Despicable me cake!
