W.I.T.H. L.O.V.E.

Last weekend we celebrated my son, Mikaal's 'ameen' (the completion of the reading of the Holy Quran). This was a proud moment for me, I must say, and so I wanted to create a cake which was reflective of my feelings of joy and celebration. As my son is usually so keen on 'themed' cakes I thought it would be impossible to create a cake that would please him as well as being right for the occasion, but as you can see from the smile on his face, he was more than happy with the end result.

This Parisian style two tier gift box cake was a delight to make and is perfect for any girly birthday do.

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?

Freshly picked cupcakes

These cupcakes were made today and took me six hours to complete from start to finish. A labour of love! They are chocolate cupcakes with milk chocolate Oreo frosting and fondant toppers. 

I really enjoyed making these because in nature, nothing is perfectly symmetrical or the same, so there's a lot more room for creativity. I possibly got a little carried away with the details (is there such a thing with cake decorating I wonder?)    

Here's how they eventually turned out....

For the love of Red...


Today I tried my hand at making a ten inch round red velvet cake. This cake has four luscious layers of red velvet sponge with cream cheese frosting as filling and is covered in cream cheese frosting and red fondant hearts embellishments.
Handling cream cheese frosting isn't always easy but i managed to get it reasonably neat and anyhow...Sometimes it's simply more about the taste than the looks...YUM!

Totally lemony fly away cupcakes!

I have always wanted to try royal iced butterflies, so I gave it a go and here's how they turned out...

To go with the vibrant butterfly colours I thought I'd go with a bold cupcake flavour...Lemon!

These lemon flavoured cupcakes are topped with a dollop of hidden lemon curd and a swirl of lemon buttercream. The royal iced butterflies are perched on top to finish....To be eaten before they fly away!

Miniature Cakes

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.
