21st birthday cupcakes

21st birthday boxed cupcakes with pink and white flowers, hearts and butterflies. Gluten free cake with a bottle of champagne

Pretty in Pink 21st Birthday cupcakes!

Pink and girly was the request for these little beauties, with a candle and 21 for the birthday girl! All of the dozen cakes were gluten-free vanilla sponge cupcakes with piped butter icing so they could be enjoyed by both the coeliacs and non-coeliacs at the party.

Excellent as a last-minute option as they can be made at a day or two’s notice if my workload permits!

Linda’s cake denotes her love of camping and music festivals, mud..and a glass of red wine! The rucksack, tent and muddy wellies decorating the cake are all edible but the glass of wine unfortunately isn’t.

Ship-shaped birthday cake, HMS Gordon

Gordon is an ex-Navy man so I was asked to come up with a ship shape cake design to bring back memories of this time. The ship was carved from a square vanilla sponge cake and filled with strawberry jam and butter icing.

Girls' 6th birthday party cake

Lego Princess Leia party cake

When I’ve been asked  for Lego figure cake designs before they have normally been for boys parties like Indiana Jones or the classic Lego-man.

So the other day, it made a nice change when I was asked to come up with something a little different in the form of Lego’s Star Wars heroine Princess Leia for Hannah’s 6th birthday.

One of my regular customers in Stockton always enjoy providing a challenge…

Darren’s cake was inspired by his acquisition of a white minivan, his beloved pet dog and whatever it is he likes to get up to in his spare time..! This carved cake was Vanilla Madeira sponge and the girl and dog modelled from icing.

Rachel’s parents wanted a very special 21st birthday cake for their daughter and came up with the idea of one in the shape of her favourite childhood teddy… which is still around if a little worse for wear.

Isle of Man's triskelion 'three legs of Mann' cake

Living and working in County Durham, it’s not often that I get asked to create a design that uses the Isle of Man logo but Natalie’s partner thought that, since she was a native Manx, a special 40th birthday cake with the island’s symbol would be just right for the job.

A simple square cake but a hand-made ‘triskelion’.
