Vintage Rose Cupcakes

We were really pleased to be asked to make the ‘birthday’ cakes to mark the 10th anniversary of the Ariel Atom, another fabulous Somerset creation!

The name of this cake always seems to make people grimace but we can’t think of a nicer way to put it!

Another petrol head’s birthday cake – this time a Land Rover Discovery 3.

As lovely as it is, making gorgeous cakes for other people’s celebrations, sometimes it’s nice just to bake for the sheer enjoyment of it!

Those of you who follow me on Twitter will know that I spent last week cursing and muttering under my breath as I made my way through a mammoth cake carving event that was my Radley Bag and Shoe Cake.

I have been a big fan of Dr Who for more years than I care to admit to so it was great fun making this Tardis birthday cake.

Ivory and bright red make a striking colour combination here with the tall outline of the cake suiting the butterfly design to a tee.

A simple but effective idea for a football fan’s birthday.

Handmade sugar butterflies adorn these pretty pink cupcakes.

Inspired by the nutty ’sheep pyramids’ as seen on Shaun the Sheep.
