Lorna from Maynooth ordered this cake for a very special reason. Her sister is going through treatment for breast cancer, and the family wanted to get her a cake to show what a fighter she is. The Supergirl logo seemed to fit the bill perfectly! I wish her many years of health and happiness 
Sabrina from Lucan ordered this cake for her son Cian’s 2nd birthday. He loves Buzz Lightyear and Woody from Toy Story. I handmade them from modelling paste, and the headboard and footboard of the bed were made a couple of days earlier, to allow them time to dry. The bed was made from a 10″ sponge, cut into the shape of the bed, and covered with sugarpaste.
I love love love this cake! Siobhán and Derek from Lucan ordered it for their twins’ Christening. I carved a bowl-shaped cake and a round cake into the shape of the bottom half of the boat, and a smaller square cake into the cabin part for the top. All the little pairs of animals are handmade from modelling paste and completely edible. There are paper lollipop sticks helping to support their heads in some cases, though! As the babies are a boy and a girl, I used nice soft pastel colours in pink, blue and lemon for the boat. The original design is by the amazing Debbie Brown.
The cake itself was a lemon sponge bottom tier, with a chocolate sponge top tier. This cake would be lovely for many different occasions and can be personalised - Christenings, birthdays, baby showers, maybe even engagements…!?
This cake was for my lovely mother’s birthday. She’s always got the kettle on for a cup of tea, so I thought a teapot birthday cake would be perfect for her! I made the basic round shape from lemon sponge, filled with lemon buttercream, and covered with pale sugarpaste. I handmade the spout and handle from flower paste and let them dry for a couple of days before attaching them to the teapot. I then attached little sugar hydrangea blossoms, and used a brush-embroidery technique for the white flower designs on the sides. I thought the teapot looked a little lonely by itself, so made some little cups to match – cupcakes!! 
I made this cake for my mother-in-law’s birthday. I coloured some sugarpaste a lovely lilac colour, as it is her favourite colour. I measured the circumference of the cake and then cut out strips of both white and lilac sugarpaste to fit evenly. The cake is topped off with a lovely handmade bow made from modelling paste. The original design is from Planet Cake.
The cake itself was a 7-inch chocolate sponge, filled with chocolate ganache and covered with chocolate ganache and sugarpaste.
