on to my cakes... Ive just finished a cake which I thought was going to be quite easy turned out I was wrong. A dartboard cake is my latest cake. I spent two days on it due to having to start again on the detail! every bit of detail was cut separately and all made from icing - I really should of piped the outlines but I always make things difficult haha! Next week I am going to be really busy with a busty lady and a boys toy cake and 2 others ill post pics of them in the making perhaps to show how cakes are shaped and covered with Icing.

Must do's

Ive not posted for a while things have been abit crazy at home and my heads been in bits therefore I haven't made any cakes. I'm normally very organised I'm probably one of the most organised people you will ever meet love a list or two. My first thing to do is get a new book people asking for cakes have been written down all over in my book! its driving me mad so new book is a must. Blog more is another must do apart from that if Ive not messaged you back I'm really sorry just juggling cakes and a 2 year old is hard work esp when having personal problems at home bare with me I will reply eventually - if you want to make sure Ive got your cake in my book all you have to do is contact me through face book! - Ill post tomorrow with some research on different ideas you could have for celebration cakes! anyhow here is a groovy cake to look at until updates tomorrow..

please note this is research not loveLeas cake:
however can be duplicated just send me a message on facebook.

Disappointed

I'm disappointed to have  found out my tatty teddy had a lil accident.. the nose fell off and went all floppy.. I'm gutted! the weight of the icing would not hold at least I know for next time.. to use a crispy treat perhaps! the bad week Ive had clearly reflected on my cake making =(!!

Me to Mandy.

I finally got to have a go at doing Tatty aka me to you in full.. most cake makers use foam for the head but I managed to make it all out of cake! ... there was a few problems..I normally use black dye but I only had extra black which made it go darker then I wanted to apart from that everything went ok ill morning the weight of the icing for his nose and mouth it was slowly falling off so I had to do the whole thing again I know I could of done alot better but things are upside down at home this week and think its reflected on my cake making.. anyhow here is  the finished cake..

Ready - Steady - Bake !

Yay! Im all set up for tommorow..

Im finally getting to make a Me to you bear cake! this is one of a few cakes I have been wanting to make for a long time.. Ive already completed a Me to you bear head  in icing and in cake tommorow is the big day I try the full body! I hope they going to be happy with it keep looking back for the result!
