The Scarlet Collection

Reds and scarlets are traditional celebratory colours, particularly at Asian weddings. This cupcake collection has been designed to complement the bride on her special day and is also great for anniversaries, valentines and mothers day celebrations.

Flower Pearl cupcakes

I wanted to create a selection of tea time cupcakes in traditional buttercream that looked as attractive as they tasted. So I began by baking some chocolate cupcakes and making a batch of vanilla buttercream. I then added touches of pinks and lilacs and ended up creating different flowers using various piping nozzles. To finish, I added touches of pearlised fondant accents. They turned out pretty fab, even if I must say so myself....

Three tier 'Hello Kitty' Cake

This week I was told to make a three tier 'Hello Kitty' Cake for a birthday girl on her first birthday. 

I began by making my fondant 'Hello Kitty'...

I was given the colours pink, white and red, which I eventually covered each of my cakes in. 

As the bottom layer looked a bit blank I ended up cutting out strips of pink, red and black fondant to add depth and break up the scattered floral and heart pattern on the top two tiers.  

Here's how it turned out...

Another cake made for a little princess...this two tier Disney princess pink cake is a classic Victoria sponge cake made with strawberry jam and vanilla buttercream filling. To finish it has been covered in fondant with hand-made fondant embellishments. All things except the princesses are edible...

The accompanying fairy cakes are white fairy cakes with pink vanilla swirl buttercream and hand-made fondant toppers.

Two tier Disney princess cushion cake

This weekend I was given the task of a two tier Disney princess cushion cake for a four year old birthday girl. This was my first attempt at a cushion cake and was very challenging and exciting. This is how my cushion turned out. 

It was made out of two 8 inch madeira cakes and filled with strawberry jam and vanilla buttercream and covered in fondant...

The end result. A two tier Disney princess cake. The bottom tier was made from a 12 inch victoria sponge filled with raspberry jam and vanilla buttercream and covered in fondant.
