The brief; A cake for an Ultra Marathon runner please?I did some research and I do happen to know a marathon runner who was very happy to offer guidance. 😉. The shoes are made using a mould designed by @katysuedesignscakes and are based on @merrell running shoes used for these long distance adventures. Lemon drizzle sponge with lemon Italian meringue buttercream. Finished with white chocolate ganache and @massa_ticino_sugarpaste #kentcakemaker #runnerscake #marathoncake #ultramarathoncake#ultramarathonrunner #ultramarathonrunning #50thbirthdaycake#madewithmarriages #gravesendcakes
Pretty birthday 80th cake please! So it had to be pink 😉 with sugar flowers and hand painting. We were asked to leave a space for a bespoke topper. Do you think you the brief was fulfilled - I do hope so…#80thbirthdaycake #pinkbirthdaycake #prettybirthdaycake #bespokebirthdaycakeskent #sugarflowers #sugarflowerclasses #kentcakemaker #handpaintedcakes

Todays’s challenge is book cake. Well I’ve made a few of those! Not a folded page corner in sight, each with its own bookmark. You can have your football team, rugby or cricket club too. Even a handmade barge. Hit me with your favourite novel and I’ll turn it into an into edible delight. #caketober #caketober2024 #bookcakedesign #bookcake #bookcakes #90thbirthdaycake #kentcakes #kentcakemaker #bespokebirthdaycake @cherrycakeco
The challenge for #caketober is piping. OK I will confess, this is passion. It is my background and I bet I can make a piping bag quicker than Lewis Hamilton on a start line! Nothing makes me happier than being asked to decorate a wedding cake, piped with intricate royal icing. #royalicing #royalicingcookie #cakeartist #royalicingvideo #kentcakemaker #bespokeweddingcakes #alternativeweddingcake #whiteweddingcake #caketober2024 #Wedding2025
Today’s #caketober2024 is chocolate! Oh yes indeed - so hidden under our sugarpaste is our luxury chocolate ganache.
Sometimes white chocolate, sometimes milk and often dark!! Made with Callebaut for a silky smooth finish, that tastes simply divine.
Even if we say so ourselves.

Autumn is day 16 of the #caketober challenge. Our bride wanted an autumn cake for her September wedding and we were delighted to create this for the wedding. @littlehermitage_higham #kentcakemaker #sugarflowers #autumnwedding #septemberwedding #prettyweddingcakes #kentweddingsuppliers #3tierweddingcake #caketober2024 @cherrycakeco
Today’s #caketober is birds.
As much loved pets who am I to shirk a brief! They were created using pastillage and I then set to work painting with cocoa butter. They even had their own branch!

Today’s #caketober challenge is pink.
This is one of my favourite pink cakes. All the flowers are made of sugar and I then I used a stencil with royal icing around the tiers.
To complement the flowers, pink and burgundy ribbons were added to each tier.

Today’s #caketober challenge is models. I’ve not made too many recently but a quick flick through the many photos I have yielded a reasonable stash. I always use the same modelling paste @saracinodolci as it takes colour well and smooths beautifully. #caketober2024 #saracino #kentcakemaker#peterrabbitcake #bespokeweddingcake #firstbirthdaycake#caketober2024 #cherrycakeco
Today’s #caketober2024 is a selfie!
So here I am, in cake uniform!!
For anyone that hasn’t met me, I am Karen. Cake designer, flower maker, baker and chief tin washer. I’ve been designing and decorating cakes for more years than I’m prepared to admit to!
I am a bit of a royal icing nerd and sugar flower junkie. Aside from that I am fairly normal.
When I’m not working, I enjoy the odd square of chocolate 😉 along with a coffee. If I can combine that with a TV programme about forensic’s I am happy bunny.
Nice to meet you!
