No, the zombies aren’t here yet, but this brain is definitely the tastiest I’ve come across! It’s a butter cake with raspberry jam between the layers (perfect for that gory look). We covered the cake with a base layer of black fondant and then built up the brain design on top with coils of fondant. [...]

Tis the season for weddings and I was excited by the prospect of this whimsy cake, they’re always fun and a bit of a challenge. This is a butter cake with vanilla buttercream, covered in fondant. Each tier stands around 6″ tall (dropping to 4″ at the lowest point) and tapers down 2-3″ inches in [...]

A lovely cake for a lovely couple, we were delighted they chose us to be a part of their special day. The cake at the top of the tower is red velvet with a cream cheese icing, all the cupcakes are a mix of red velvet with cream cheese and butter cake with vanilla buttercream. [...]

So when left to come up with an appropriate design copying the camera from the invite seemed the obvious choice. The design [...]

With a small catch, it needed delivering to New Orleans.* We were given fairly free reign with this cake, as long as it fed 200 people, tasted good and had a 60s/hippy theme then all was well. Given the delivery requirements we also [...]

For the local astronomical society we made a butter cake with English buttercream. Covered in fondant and airbrushed to resemble the night sky, with just the last hints of daylight on the horizon. The stars are pearl dragees and royal icing, for some variety in size, then we added some large stars on wires.
