KJ's Cakes

#

Over the past few weeks I have seen lots of “burn away” cakes on social media. There are now videos of burn away balloons, which explode showering the cake and recipient with confetti and/or glitter.

I will not be offering either of these options due to food safety.

The majority of these cakes have come from countries where the food safety laws are not as strict. The burn away cakes usually use a type of combustible paper called flash paper, used by fire eaters and magicians, which contains nitrocellulose and is not considered food safe. I know some cake makers have been using rice paper, which doesn’t burn away as fast and leaves behind a residue. With regards to burn away cakes and balloons I think my insurance company would have a fit!

Thanks for your understanding

All set up on the High Alter - come and grab some goodies. 🎄

Realistic looking but deliciously sweet, this will confuse the brain. These are actually Oreo’s Mini Marshmallows and a big of butter

Day 13 and Day 14 of are and

I forgot to upload yesterdays so thought I’d do a double post today. Flor mythical we have Unicorns and rainbows and for black we have some older cakes I’ve done.

Day 12 of and today’s subject is

Dogs have been the theme on many of my cakes, from edible images to hand drawn and cupcake toppers to 3D shaped cake. I still have. A soft spot for the pig wearing a unicorn onesie.

Day 11 of and todays subject is

I have only done 1 cake decorated with fruit and the smell was gorgeous.

Day 9 of is all about

If having a cake covered in a thick layer of buttercream with a chocolate drip wasn’t sweet enough, these customers opted for sweets of all kinds to be added on to the top.

** Not sure why this isn’t showing so reposted it **

Day 8 of is

I have done a couple of wedding cake that have had a slight navy colour theme to them. Also done a few 1st birthday smash cakes too. Navy cakes like black cakes always come with a warning. It will turn your 💩 green 😂 . This was realise when my niece had some of her dads birthday cake when she was 1 and it left a colourful nappy for my sister after. Since then, those cakes always carry a warning 😂

Day 7 of and today it’s all about water.

Several cakes I’ve made have featured a theme including one very popular song about water happens to water when it’s very cold 😂

Day6 of and it’s all about

I use many different types including but not exclusively buttercream, cutters, embossers and many different techniques. To get the sponge texture on Mr SquarePants I merely used my fingertips

Day 5 of is - oh no!

Here’s the Butcher, the Baker and the Candlestick Maker 😂. - nah, not really. Mr W the chief tester, myself KJ the baker/decorator and Boo my biggest critique

Day 4 of and it’s all about toppers. Whilst I’ve used plastic, cardboard, artificial and ceramic toppers - my most popular toppers are those that are handmade and 100% edible. Here’s a selection of the ones I’ve made.

Day 3 of and today’s theme is /coffee

Everyone loves some cake with a cuppa tea or a mug of coffee but no one more than those at coffee morning for Macmillan coffee morning ️️. These cupcakes were done to help raise money a couple of years ago. Now I don’t just do cupcakes for coffee mornings. This novelty cake is in the shape of a coffee cup and was purchased by a lovely lady who wanted to donate it to her localWomen's Institutionn to help raise funds.

Day 2 of

Today is and what better cake than a yellow ambulance shaped cake I did for my moms 60th.

Number 1

This was the first fondant bear I ever made.

I’ve decided to take part in - let’s see if I can complete it.
