Buttercream Dreams

Make cute cupcake ice creams by filling flat bottom cones with cake batter. Bake for 12-15 mins, let cool then decorate with buttercream, sprinkles and of course top with a flake.

Pretty in pink...and gold

These are my favourite cakes to make. Always taste great and love making them mixed colours. This one was made using white, light pink and dark pink buttercream but mixed together to make this gorgeous watercolour effect.

Elmo cake

Happy birthday to an Elmo mad little lady.

This was vanilla sponge with chocolate buttercream and chocolate ganache filling.

I recently bought some stencils and today was my first chance to try them out. I love the texture they give to make a plain cake a little more interesting. It was also nice to play about with colours. To get this sage-green colour I used ivory, dark green and navy in tiny amounts. And the best bit.....slicing it up and eating it ourselves!

This was a 4inch 4layered vanilla sponge with chocolate, raspberry jam and vanilla buttercream.

Minion cake 💛

I hate fondant! There, I said it!

There were several tantrums and a minor break down in the making of this cake. Buuuut it's was definitely worth it in the end!

Vanilla sponge, raspberry jam, vanilla buttercream and fondant!

Strawberry and white chocolate 4" cake.

Vanilla sponge, white chocolate ganache, fresh strawberries, white choc and vanilla buttercream, white chocolate covered strawberries and sprinkles.

Playing about a bit more with these cakesicles, experimenting with a bit of colour and glitter. I've got to say I'm pretty happy with the results, and I think my youngest agrees

Tying out something a bit new with this treat box Cakesicles, chocolate dipped strawberries and chocolate coated pretzels. 💙

Thank you for helping us grow 🌷🌻🌿

Some cupcakes ordered as a thank you gift to staff at a nursery.

The assignment......a cute alien cake.

I love getting the most random requests.

This little galaxy, alien cake is caramel flavour sponge, homemade caramel and a mix of vanilla and chocolate buttercream.

I was asked to make a cake showcasing someone's favourite things.... monkeys, frogs, gardens and Scotland of course. The end product was this bright and colourful flower garden with pond and critters. A fun cake to make 🐒🐸🌷❤️

Classic vanilla sponge, raspberry jam and vanilla buttercream.

Ice Cream Cake 🍦🎂

A first for me today making an ice cream cake. This was vanilla ice cream sandwiched between 2 layers caramel sponge. Covered in vanilla buttercream and topped with homemade salted caramel and fudge pieces.

Happy birthday to the youngest member of my clan. He's now officially 2!!

This was vanilla sponge with chocolate ganache and cookies and cream buttercream, and fondant decorations and crumbled Oreos.

Loved making the balloons and using a toy tractor to add to the decoration. As much as I enjoy making edible decorations sometimes it's so fun to use toys, models etc so that it's a cake and a present in one. I also got to use a wood effect stamp to make the fence which turned out to be so quick and effective.

Got left over cake going stale? No problem!! Simply pop your slice in the microwave for 20 seconds and pair with your favourite ice cream - delicious!

It's been such a busy weekend with being away for a family wedding that I didn't have as long as I'd ideally like to make my youngest ones birthday cake. No fancy fondant work or elaborate buttercream textures, just a cake with frosting and sprinkles.... Something tells me she was happy with it.

Chocolate sponge, chocolate buttercream, vanilla buttercream, chocolate ganache. Vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream.

Happy 50th anniversary to a beautiful couple and congratulations on renewing your vows. I'm so grateful to be part of your special day and to have the honour to create something for a fellow baker.

A Harry Potter themed cake for a lovely little girl's birthday. Hope you had a magic day, Tamara.

Chocolate sponge, chocolate ganache and chocolate buttercream. All decorations made using fondant. And not forgetting all that gold paint and glitter.

I've got left over buttercream from this week's cakes so I've knocked up a 4" chocolate cake to enjoy with the hubby and kids. Thrown some Nutella and Biscoff spread in there too.....because why not?

Is there anything better to top a cake than chocolates, prosecco and gin?

A vanilla sponge cake filled with vanilla buttercream and a passion fruit and mango coulis. A colourful and boozy cake for a colourful and boozy lady. Happy Birthday

A birthday cake for my frog mad mother-in-law. Happy birthday ❤️🐸❤️

Vanilla sponge, vanilla buttercream, lemon curd and raspberry jam.

Loved making this baby shower cake especially since I got to try out a new technique. The ruffles are made by cutting out individual circles of fondant and folding them in a way to make the texture. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I used 100's to cover the cake.

A lovely traditional vanilla sponge, vanilla buttercream and raspberry jam.

Pretty in pink floral cupcakes.

Blue, white and gold fault line cake.

Vanilla sponge, vanilla buttercream and filled with lemon curd and raspberry jam.

Worth it for the blue swirl 🥰💙

And finally the last cake to be delivered. Not an order but a gift for my childminder and her family. Thank you for being the best childminder to my girls ❤️ Not a sponge cake but a mini brownie cake. Three layers of chocolate brownie, salted caramel sauce and salted caramel buttercream.

A little Christmas order dropped off today. Chocolate sponge with salted caramel and chocolate ganache filling. Covered in red vanilla buttercream and topped with white chocolate drip, salted caramel buttercream and red and gold fondant details. A bit of luxury for the big day.

Night shift in retail is tough at the best of times but night shift in retail at Christmas during a pandemic.....that's just something else. To say a huge thank you to my team at work I made a couple of cakes to spread some festive cheer and give us an energy boost.

First was a vanilla sponge and vanilla buttercream piñata cake filled with goodies.

The second was salted caramel and whipped chocolate ganache, chocolate sponge and salted caramel buttercream.

This is NOT a cake!!!

This is a stack of triple chocolate chunk brownies with chocolate ganache and chocolate buttercream topped with Lindor and Fererro Rocher....and not forgetting edible glitter ✨

Who loves chocolate? We love chocolate!

Chocolate sponge with chocolate ganache and chocolate buttercream covered in white, milk and dark chocolate buttercream. A Nutella drip and topped with Lindor and Fererro Rocher.

Not going to lie, if this cake was cancelled last minute I would have happily tucked into this myself!
