Hayder's first birthday

My gorgeous nephew turned 1 last month and I had the honour of making his birthday cake for him. I have realised that planning, planning and planning is what it's all about.
The theme of the party was the jungle. His name in Urdu means Lion and he is such a lion. As Zak is a monkey Hayder is a Lion.
I loved making his cake. Loved making all the different animals and experimenting with some different way of decorating the cake. I was really happy with the outcome and I hope you agree too. So here it is....

I absolutely love this guy.

Been too long

Been a while since I have been on here just not had the chance. things have been getting really busy on the home front.

I was hoping to use this blog as an opportunity to share with everyone all my culinary experiments but have failed miserably. I have been fortunate enough to have tasted and tried some of the most amazing meals but alas nothing to show for it, other then a some extra weight...... (oh dear).

I am going to start on my new years resolution early and make a promise to myself to update this more often.

With that said here are a few of the cakes that I have worked on recently, I apologise there are quite a few of them. Enjoy.

Twilight cake for a 16th birthday. I had just finished reading the last book when I got this order so really happy to make it.

A 60th birthday cake for a friends mum.

I have wanted to make a slice of cake of so long because I thought it was the cutest thing ever and even if i do say so myself I think it really is. I made this for a friends 30th birthday. It was a Red velvet sponge with a cream cheese frosting. Surprisingly it was really easy and quick to make.

Golf cake for a friends husband who was turning 30.

A box of Jaffa cakes with a few out for a very good friend who loves Jaffa cakes surprisingly.

This was for one of Zak's friends who turned 2. I absolutely fell head over heels in love with this lion. I seem to be falling in love with a lot of fondant animals (may need to get help for that).

A princess and pirates theme for a 5 year old.

OMG, had the most fun making this cake.Came out better then I even imagined myself. This was for Zak's best friends brother. Bertie is the cutest kid and was having a Wizard of OZ birthday party. He was my actual client and was a dream to work with, hehehe.
