Those who check the blog out and my facebook page will have seen them already or you may have spotted me round town wearing it!. Ive had 4 people asking for one so they must be good hehe! £13 pound please and ill go get you one haha! below is a lil preview of them..!
Secondly, after having 2 months not making cakes Im slowly getting back into it therefore I wont be taking alot on only making so many a week so first come first served! Im happy to be anyones cake maker! every cake made is made with thoughtfulness take advantage of my 4 years in art and design and push my limits in design and cake making! I welcome any challenge , I spend over 8-10 hours min on a cake therefore wont be taking many on however.

Personal friends cakes..
I normally do research on cakes on the Internet to get ideas,I will be posting a few on the blog every week. I dont add other cake makers to my Facebook after having bother with one cake maker when I started to make cakes I cant be bothered with the chew or the fact they create drama I keep myself to myself so I dont really see other Hartlepools cake makers work.. however I do have two ladies on my list who are on my personal Facebook also who make cakes for their hobbie and would like to show you some of their work..I love talking cakes with these two they are both very friendly and have a eye for cake making.. the two ladies are Dawn and Kirsty and here are my fave cakes they have done.. ! I hope they dont mind me showing you their work but I think they are brilliant!
Made by Dawn
Made by Kirsty
Ive also added watermarks over my imagery, Im aware people are putting there photos on their walls to show friends im fine with this just dont want other cake makers taking credit for my work as I work hard!
The winner of the competition is..
well.. before I reveal..Ill tell you how I did it.. I written everyones name down on paper..put it in my little boys plastic pan {haha!} and then Logan had the honor to pick out the lucky person.. simple I thought until after he puts it in my hand he snatches it back and puts it in his mouth! so I had to chase him round for 10 mins while he finds it amusing..anyhow once I got the paper off him this was the result!..
Congratulations Donna Mclean who has won herself 24 FREE cupcakes! Yay!
Thank you to those who took part in the competition will be doing another one real soon ;)!
Theres a snake in my boots!

Support.
Thank you to those who have been supporting me and giving me the chance at doing them a cake. The feedback {on the right side --> } has been brilliant and means alot to me. I spend more then 8-10 hours on a cake the feedback makes it all worth it! Im hoping to work for these people again and be there cake maker for many years to come! Thanks again! and Thanks to those who are passing my name {loveLea cakes}on.
And a big thank you to Sarah Naylor for doing my graphics for me such as tags, banners and t-shirts!
I have a secret.
For my cakes I only use the best ingredients, which many cake makers do its no secret on what to use to get a tasty good textured cake however I use something extra which people always spot in my cakes, I dont mind sharing what ingredients I use Bero, Silverspoon etc but the question mark will be staying secret.
