Two Tiered Princess Castle Cake

Two Tiered Pink Princess Castle Cake



Sugar Art Figurine-Princess Sophie

Personalised lettering

This is another one of my favourites!! I just love the girly cakes! After two boys, my friend was very excited to finally have her little princess. So, when it came to Sophie's 1st birthday party, it was certain to be princess themed! The cake itself was two tiers of white chocolate mud cake covered in a white chocolate ganache-yum!The 'towers' were made of waffle cones drizzled in white chocolate and then lightly coated with pink and purple sprinkles. A sugar art figurine of the birthday girl sits proudly on top of her cake castle!

Where it all began...Under the Sea birthday cake

My obssession with cake decorating began with my son's 1st birthday cake back in October 2009. I had a fair idea of the kind of cake I wanted and thought Id have a go at making it myself. This was the end result...

Vanilla sponge (from a packet!) decorated with fondant icing and candy rocks.

I was suprised but very happy with how well it turned out especially being my first attempt at decorating a cake with fondant icing. And, I realised how much I enjoyed doing it-creating edible art! It seemed like the perfect hobby to keep me occupied whilst staying at home to raise my gorgeous little boy so I started offering to do cakes for my friends and their children as well.


I fell pregnant with our second child, our daughter Lila, in March last year. Being pregnant really slowed me down but now that she is here (and I am finally no longer pregnant!) I am very ready to get back to baking!

'Christmas Presents' fruit cakes

We hosted christmas at our place in 2009 so I 'made' these cakes to match the colour theme of blue and white. When I say 'made' I mean I went to the supermarket, bought two fruit cakes and then covered them in fondant icing!Yes, I cheated!

Two Tiered Funky Red Heart Engagement Cake

I was very happy with how this cake turned out but unfortunately my poor photography skills just dont do it any justice! It was a two tiered chocolate mud cake with dark chocolate ganache and red fonant icing. I then personalised it on the top with the happy couples initials embezzled with silver cachous. This was also before I discovered thicker cake boards and covering the board with icing!
