For Goodness Bakes

Happy birthday to our youngest niece! One today. Her cake is lemon with lemon butter icing and home made lemon curd in between the layers. The cupcakes are vegan - which taste a bit like a rusk!!

I haven’t posted in a while, so thought I would post up my latest cake, which is a trial run for my nieces first birthday cake in a few weeks. It is a lemon and blueberry cake with lemon butter icing.

I haven’t posted in a while, so I thought I would share this cake that I made this weekend. I have been trying out working with modelling paste and I created this rainbow.

Happy Valentine’s Day! This little cake was made up of chocolate cake with cherry and vanilla butter icing.

I made the resolution this year to learn how to make fondant models for cakes. For my first attempt - I am pretty chuffed with the results. It was also my first time using a wrap around icing sheet for decoration, I just need to find a way to iron out the bubbles.

This one is not for sale, as it was a trail run cake. But thought I would show it off anyway.

All ready for our nephews birthday tomorrow. He asked for a cake with no butter icing. So I made a chocolate fudge sponge and decorated it with dark and white chocolate ganache.

Not a for donation one but I thought I would post it up as I am pretty proud of it.

It is my sister in laws birthday and she gave me the challenge of making a cheesecake. I was a bit nervous as I have only made a couple of cheesecakes before. But as it is her 40TH I couldn’t just do a cheesecake. So I made a white chocolate cheesecake. Then to go on top….

White chocolates filled with chocolate salted caramel baileys ganache. Macarons filled with the same ganache of the chocolates and then candy melt love heart shells filled with left over cheese cake filling. The gold white chocolates are some Cadbury’s jingle bells covered in edible glitter 😃

A bit of baking for a friend today. Six rainbow themed vanilla cupcakes!

Baking in trays is so easy and brilliant for easily transporting food around. These brownies, cheese scones and Victoria sponge tray bake are all off to my Nan’s tomorrow - which is a 4 hour drive.

This cake is not being sold but I thought I would share it. I’ve been wanting to experiment with making my own colours of butter icing. So I made this autumn themed cake. The inside is simple flavour wise: Victoria sponge and raspberry jam. Really happy with how it turned out. 🤩

Not a Halloween cake this weekend. My amazing dad has finally decided to retire!! So to celebrate I made this 4 layered coffee cake.

For decoration I also made maple syrup and pecan shortbread and white chocolates filled with dark chocolate ganache.

This will be the last Halloween cake I am making for this month, so I decided to have a break from the traditional Halloween colours and go bright pink.

This is a lemon sponge with lemon butter icing and raspberry jam in-between the layers. Lemon icing on the outside and plenty of Halloween sprinkles. I have left over vanilla candy melt treats as well, which I will include.

This is a small 6” cake, but with 3 tiers inside, there’s still a good chunk of cake to be eaten. There is just this one cake available for collection. Please get in touch if you want it. To secure it you will need to make a £5 donation to https://mermaidsuk.org.uk/donate/ and send me a screenshot of the donation but remember it’s really important you contact me before you donate to ensure it’s still available!

A rainy Saturday afternoon in October was only going to end this way. With a new spooky bake! I really wanted to try out the cobweb effect, and who doesn’t love a bit of neon?! This cake is chocolate sponge, chocolate butter icing with marshmallow cobwebs, white chocolate butter icing on top for decoration.

It’s another small 6” cake, but with 3 layers inside there’s still a decent chunk of cake to be eaten.

Afternoon everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve offered anything to be collected on here, but today I have something available for collection in exchange for a donation to our chosen charity.

Spooky season approaches so what better way to satisfy my baking urge than a Halloween themed pumpkin spiced latte cake! It’s a small 6” cake that I made to try out the flavour and my decoration idea. It’s 3 layers so there’s still a decent chunk of cake here to be eaten 😁

Feeling very proud of this birthday cake for an awesome nephew. Underneath is chocolate cake and butter icing and then wrapped around with vanilla icing. This was a real chance to test out my decorating skills.

I needed to test out how to make a fault line cake today and I realised I’ve never learnt how to make a red velvet cake. So this was my attempt! A marvel inspired red velvet cake with vanilla butter icing on the outside.

I wanted to try out creating a rainbow striped cake with my new neon food colourings. Super proud of how it turned out. The flavour is chocolate sponge and mint icing.

A special request for a friends 40TH birthday party celebration. The theme was ‘A funeral for her youth’.

The cake and butter icing is biscoff flavoured. The final layer of butter icing is chocolate. The top is biscoff macarons and then dark chocolate skulls. The cake pops contain left over biscoff cake and butter spread.

I got the dreaded ping so currently keeping myself busy with baking.

These dinosaur cookies are a confetti vanilla cookie base and a fondant topping decorated with gold leaf.

21st birthday vanilla cupcakes! I learnt a lot of new skills with these. From tempering white chocolate to how to make marble effect fondant icing.

An early start to a Saturday only means one thing. Baking time! Today I trialled a new recipe for Bakewell Cupcakes. The sponge has a hint of almond. The buttercream is almond and raspberry swirl. Topped with a splodge of raspberry jam and a bit of Bakewell tart. So who wants these as a lovely Saturday treat? 🤤

Today was the first time I tried working with geometric heart moulds and gold leaf. Inside is a cake pop mixture of chocolate sponge and biscoff butter icing.

The cupcakes are chocolate sponge and biscoff butter icing.

These cupcakes are already spoken for and were a lot of fun to make.

Chocolate cupcakes with a caramel core and chocolate butter icing on top. Finished with caramel drizzle and a cube of chocolate caramel.

Vanilla cupcakes with vanilla icing and fresh strawberries on top.

These are already spoken for but they looked too tasty not to share 😁 I really enjoyed testing out my new piping nozzles for the decoration on these.

This weekend I got to try my hand at creating some baby girl cupcakes. Pink vanilla sponge and buttercream. I loved baking these and got to test out my new letter indenting tools. 👶

Some good Friday Easter treats made for a friend. I have been stocking up on Easter decorations for a month now. So tried to get as many of them on the cakes as possible.

With lockdown beginning to ease, I’m thinking of starting to do a few bakes again to sell out. Would anyone be interested?

In the mean time, I thought I would post today’s creation. My wife’s all things lemon birthday cake (lemon sponge, lemon butter icing and lemon curd).
