Wedding season is hear again. As crazy as this season gets I quite enjoy the buzz of meeting other trades people and visiting beautiful wedding venues. Not to mention the feeling of pleasure you get from finishing off a set up and seeing the cake completed.

Here the couple chose a very simple yet elegant design, (secretly these are my favourites 🤫) They're also the hardest cakes to do because your work has to be as close to flawless as you can get. No pressure 😅

The flowers were selected to coordinate with the venue (which was at the ) and the brides flowers.

Unfortunately I didn't get to see everything put together as it was an early delivery. But here are the pictures that I took of the cake. Enjoy and congratulations to the beautiful couple.

I just want to start by saying a very genuine thank you to absolutely everyone that voted for me and everyone that has supported my business over the years.

I was nominated in the baker/cake maker category which was an honour in itself. But to win was astounding I was completely blown away.

Some of the other businesses in that catagory included
They are absolutely bossing it and I would have been happy to see anyone of them win on the night.

It was an amazing night, Leeds came away with three wins! Congratulations to who won Business of the year and .

put on a beautiful event. Thank you so much to them for hosting such a successful night.

A djembe drum is a rope-tuned skin-covered goblet drum played with bare hands. It is said to originate from west Africa.

The name of the djembe comes from the saying "everyone gather together in peace" and defines the drums purpose.

I was asked to create this cake for someone's husband that was turning 50 and plays the djembe drum. I had to put on my engineer hat for this one 😆. I was really worried about the imbalance of the shape. Luckily it all turned out fine! It was an absolute pleasure creating this one. Unfortunately one of my tools broke and I didn't get to add more decoration on the bottom of the drum. 🪘

This cake was created with just one request and that was the gorgeous blue.

Inside it's two flavours a vanilla sponge with a toffee and biscof filling and a toffee sponge and toffee and buttetcream filling.

I tried to make this as unique and elegant as possible to reflect the birthday girl.

Happy 30th Birthday to a beautiful girl who is a real credit to her amazing mother.

A request was made for a Wednesday Addams cake for a gorgeous young woman that absolutely loves the new TV series. So in keeping with the character I decided to post the cake today!! With it being a Wednesday and all 😊

Now faces and models are not my strength so I only agreed to the cake because of the person requesting in. They got a pass 🤣 so please excuse my modeling. The dress was my favourite bit to create.

Anyway Happy Birthday Wednesday Fan! Ps I also loved the series. I'm a secret Addams family fan and have been since it was in black and white 😂🤫
Thank you to for her amazing tutorial.

This beautiful couple chose a very elegant setup for their cake and venue. Simple plain ivory tiers with one acrylic tier.

The flower choices supplied by were very very pretty.

Wedding season is upon us. The days are finally getting longer and the weather milder. So begins the Saturday morning trips to various wedding venues. Which I secretly love.

As much as I enjoy the whole wedding cake process, I'm not sure I'll ever get over the nervousness of delivering wedding cakes 💒😅. I'm never completely happy until I'm leaving the venue thinking phew my work here is done!

All that being said I hope that Jasmine Kyle and their friends and family all had an amazing day . ❤️

From one creative woman to another Happy Birthday!

This was a bit of a nostalgic moment for me. Lots of people ask if I've made cakes for years. Cake design is my newest hobby! In the past I've been lucky to be able to do lots of fun create things sewing being one of them.

This cake reminds me of my very first sewing machine gifted to me by a great uncle. It's was so beautifully crafted and it was powered! 🧵🧵

So I hope that you enjoy your cake as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Happy Birthday xx

Happy Birthday Mayé.

Thank you for the first big challenge of 2022! 🎉

This cake was booked in my diary months ago when Mayé say this on instagram. I accepted the booking as she's had several cakes from me but I was secretly worried about pulling this one off 😳.
Anyway thanks to
I managed to just pull it off. For me I'd have liked to have added a few more leaves but everywhere was shut over Christmas and I only had enough materials for 6 leaves 🍁🙈. All that being said it turned out OK. I can now relax and Mayé was happy with it 😊❤️👌🏾.
Have a wonderful celebration and as always it was a pleasure.

This is the 3rd cake I have had the honour of making for baby Satuurne. She has always had two cakes one designer themed and one character themed.

This year mum opted for Pawpatrol and Gucci Boss Baby. No doubt Satuurne would have been dressed in the utmost Gucci elegance.

The three tier cake has a nice treat of three flavours and the single tier a nice colourful sponge inside. P

It's always a pleasure to design her cakes and I hope she thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this birthday.

Happy 3rd Birthday Satuurne 🎁🎉🎈

T O N I & J O N N Y

A big congratulations to the couple on their special day.

Toni and Jonny are due to go travelling. When mum ordered the cake for them she said that the couple didn't want any flowers so together we came up with the idea of adding travelling themed cookies instead.

So I hope you enjoyed your travelling themed wedding cake, and matching cupcakes.

And so the adventure begins!

I have to say that quite often people approach me and ask for flags as a cake. I'm not a huge fan at all of making flag cakes. It doesn't give me a chance to be creative and make something that truly reflects the recipient.

On this occasion I said please can we think of something that this beautiful elder likes to do. After 90 years walking this earth there has to be something she enjoys. They agreed that she loves to cook and from there the idea was born to create a pot of Saturday soup.

Now every Caribbean household I knew had a pot of soup on the fire every Saturday full of meat, hard food and dumplings of all shapes and sizes. I don't know about you but there never seemed to be enough dumplings to go round so you can imagine the arguments 😝. But this pot was bottomless and it didn't matter who you walked I the house with it some how stretched and no-one went with out.

So creating this cake was incredibly dear to me as not only was it a huge honour to make a cake for someone turning 90, it was very sentimental ☺️. And I enjoy adding flags in clever little ways. On the side is a souvenir St Kitt's tea towel again bringing back fond memories of my own Grandmothers kitchen.

I hope you had a night to remember happy 90th Birthday Ms Wyatt.

For me there is a resounding beauty in simplicity and this cake was all of that for me. Although I made the sugar roses I chose to pair them with real foliage matching the brides bouquet. I also added a tiny touch of navy to match the bridesmaids dresses.

I want to say a huge congratulations to such a wonderful beautiful couple, they tied the knot at this amazing venue last week.

The setting for this cake was nestled in the breath taking Lake District.

I was quite apprehensive about posting this cake as it was difficult to get a good picture due to the creased background 🙈 but how could I not share it.

Wedding season is now in full swing.
I must say I definitely missed the working on pretty wedding creations.

This rustic semi naked cake was boxed up and sent to Kent. The beauty of semi naked cakes is that you get to balance out the design by adding hints of beauty. These gorgeous blooms are to die for. A big thank you to
For supplying the flowers.

Congratulations to the couple and I hope that they enjoy their day today.

This lipstick 💄💋 cake was created for a young woman's 26th birthday.

She's has a love of make up so this cake was a perfect fun way to reflect one of her passions.

Unfortunately I can't take credit for this particular design. I created it from a picture that was sent to me by the customer I'm not sure who the original design was created by but huge credit to them because this cake is super cute.

Happy 26th Birthday Cindi

Pretty in pink 💕

Today I got to work on this pretty creation. But oh my goodness those ruffles took forever! 😳😂

But just like all ruffles the end result is so satisfying. So hope you all enjoy this ombre petal ruffle tier.

Congratulations and Hope the family enjoy their double celebrations today and their cake! 🎂💕🤗

Congratulations to Reece and family.

I love designing Christening cakes especially something that's not totally traditional. I have to say that this is my first green Christening cake and I loved the end result.

I had a bit of a battle with some sweaty icing 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️but I overcame that problem and eventually was happy with the way it turned out. 😊.

At the moment I feel like we're all playing catch up, with more christenings and weddings booked in then ever. Enjoy your celebrations everyone, its so nice to have some level of normality back ❤️

Some circus 🎪 fun for this little princess.

It was a pleasure working on this piece as I'm just getting back to working on larger projects. Lots of fun and colour in the theme so I kept it clean and simple.

It's been quite an adjustment these past months but that's what we're best at adapting to the situation presented to us and creating something wonderful despite all adversary.

The topper was supplied by the customer. And I was given the theme and some guide pictures by mum.

It was a pleasure adding to another . I'm absolutely loving the creativity 😍🤗

This cake was designed for a young woman that if you haven't guessed already has a real passion for her trade, which is plastering.

Sophie's parents ordered a cake for her 18th birthday but as it was such as obscure request we struggled for a design. In the end I went a little rogue and came up with something a little different from the original plan 😅 thankfully it paid off.

Hope you had a fabulous birthday celebration Sophie. Happy 18th Birthday. ❤️🦋

Keep scrolling to see Sophie's reaction to the cake and a nice side view of the cut cake.

This is by far the most exciting cake I've done this year. {well for me 😆) I also got to try a new technique of hand painting on cakes, which I was feeling quite nervous about. But once I got started I absolutely loved it. So don't be surprised if you see a little more of this 😉.

This Jurassic world cake was designed for little R'mai's third birthday and is covered in his toy dinosaurs! 🦖 The best part is the rainbow stack secretly hidden away in the bottom tier.

Happy third Birthday R'ami hope you had a fantastic Jurassic celebration 🎉

It would seem that LOL doll cakes are my new frozen! I feel like I've done loads over the past year.

This was a two tier cake with lots of cute LOL detail.

Again I got to work on some thing a bit more familiar in size. I'm loving the larger projects again. It makes me feel like I'm really building something 😂.

Hope Teyana had a wonderful birthday and totally enjoyed this two tier cake oozing with cuteness.
Happy Birthday Teyana ♥️

It's been quite a while since I've worked larger cakes. During lockdown I've only done a few large cakes so this was a fun one for me.

Rayne had chosen what she wanted on her cake. She wanted unicorns 🦄 and Rainbows 🌈 because her name is Rayne. And butterflies 🦋. 😊 So this was the end result. A three tier buttercream cake with ombre effect buttercream.

They chose three flavours for the tiers

Vanilla at the top
Chocolate in the middle
Marble at the bottom

Hope you had a wonderful birthday Rayne. ❤️

Allow me to start by saying that I have for the most part of a year been pretty quiet on social media.
This is despite being busy dodging the old covid and still operating a cake business as safely as possible and working a full time job.

So for my absence I apologise. I chose the very last cake that I did to post as I've done far too many to mention since posting last.

I have done more than one camera cake but I enjoyed this one more. As a self thought cake designer I look to improve and polish my skills when and where I can and even I cringe at most of my earlier works 🤭. So it was nice to apply slightly more confidence to an old design.

Kirsty is amazing check out her page and her YouTube vlog. Her partner chose this theme for her and of course in true me fashion I threw my slant on it to include some of her interests.
So happy 21st lockdown birthday Kirsty hope you enjoyed it to the max.

This cake was created for a fabulous personal trainer .

So when his partner approached me and said can you please make a cake for Damian I was all too pleased to even slightly return the thanks I owe him.

We have worked out together throughout the entire time during lockdown. I really am not a fan of the gym and Damian agreed to outdoors workout wrong I've absolutely loved. He's been a brilliant driving force knowing exactly when to push me just that little bit further.

Hope you had a fabulous lockdown celebration.
