Ooooh I am a bit late today!

Purple is challenge today.

In truth this pretty cake is lilac, but we aren’t ones for splitting hairs!!

Piped with royal icing swags and spots. Finished with silk flowers, it looks rather pretty sitting pride of place in the window.

Today’s 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.

Today’s 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!

Castle is the challenge today. Our castle cakes come in all shapes and sizes, some needing more “bricks” than others!! We don’t use an architect 😉

I think my clients rather like pink castles and to include the odd turret, castellation and possibly a parapet. A little lumiere can also be included.

Once again thank you to Little Cherry Cake Company
for getting us all to think outside the box this month.

Today’s 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.

Recently married The Lost Village of Dode (Official) were our gorgeous couple. So remote is this beautiful church, a minibus was arranged at the reception venue Manor Farm Barn to take the guests!

We were welcomed by the lovely staff at the barn and duly setup the statement piece semi naked wedding cake.

Three tiers consisting of Madagascan Vanilla, Lemon Drizzle and Bakewell Tart. The latter being filled with our own recipe cherry compote.

Decorated with silk flowers and foliage supplied by our happy couple.

This understated beauty sat pride of place in the beautiful barn, which had been painstakingly decorated by the bride in shades of sage green.

A few days later an unexpected visit to our studio with gifts of flowers and cards was a fantastic surprise, from the new Mr and Mrs. Brought a tear to my eye.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of such a lovely day.

Today’s is insects! Well that took a bit of head scratching.

But I managed to find a couple.

I was asked to make a selection of Easter Biscuits as a thank you for a care home. We bakes, decorated and then bagged over 100. Can you spot a few sugar ladybirds? 🐞

And many a pretty butterfly will sit upon a cake.

Today’s 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 ju**ie. 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!
