Project 3 - St David's Day Cake


A practise cake made to celebrate St David's Day.  Dragon made using a biscuit cutter

College Projects - 2 Modelling



First college modelling project.  It's a bear in a bed.  Bear is marzipan, pillow and bed are sugarpaste.  My first real modelling attempt and I was quite pleased with the outcome.

Project 2 - Practise cake


A practice cake made to practise covering cakes (and to use some some ready made grren sugarpaste).  Daisys made using plunger daisy cutter

College Projects - 1



The first project completed at my basic cake decorating course.  This was the first cake completed at week 5 (of a 10 week course).  Icing was coloured pink and cake and board were covered.  Crimped around the edge with a curved scallop crimper.  Hello Kitty design made using a template drawn on to greaseproof paper and built up in 3D.

First project - 1st birthday cake

Project 1 - a first birthday cake.  Inspiration came from a book.  It's plain white as I didn't know how to colour so I was limited to white and the pre-coloured available in the supermarket.  Letters were found on the internet, printed off then laminated and used as a template to cut round.
