Mughal Garden Mini Cakes

Mughal Art has always been a fascination for me. Especially since I have a little Mughal heritage myself. This, and the fact that I wanted to create something unique for Eid inspired me to design and create the 'Mughal Garden Collection'.

There is something very appealing about smaller versions of things and it works for cakes too. Although making mini cakes is probably more of an effort (and time consuming) the outcome is always better I feel. So here is my mini cakes collection designed for the occasion of Eid...




Mosaic Art Mini Cake

As the colours are quite vibrant and 'Indian' I feel they would also make great show pieces on wedding related functions, such as Henna nights....

'The collection': shoes and handbag cupcakes


The Collection
@Butterfly Cakes Bradford

These cupcakes are a real favourate of mine. It was my first attempt at shoes and handbags of which I am really proud!  They were designed and made by hand without the use of cutters or stencils. I loved designing each topper, even though it took me absolutely hours! It was truly a labour of love. After all, which girl would not like to create her very own collection of bespoke accessories?

Miniature Cakes

Here is a selection of two tier mini cakes. It was inspiring trying out different designs and colours for each of the two tier mini cakes and very time consuming!
The cakes are chocolate mud cakes and are filled with Belgian chocolate ganache and covered in fondant with fondant accents....

Mosque cake

This is a two tier novelty mosque cake made on the occasion of Eid. It was a challenge to come up with a balance of bright colours and simplicity for this design as it was meant for a children's Eid party.

The cake is made from chocolate sponge with a dark chocolate ganache filling and white chocolate ganache and fondant covering. It has a royal icing finish and fondant accents.


The message reads 'Eid mubarak' (Happy Eid)


All four minarets are edible and made from cake.
