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.

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.

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?

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...
