In December I was asked to make a replica of a kit car that for a 30th birthday party. Previously I had stuck religiously to round and square cakes but have recently started to find a love for cake carving so I took on the challenge.
After baking a square chocolate mud cake I got started cutting and shaping to create a cake that looked, I hope, just like the photos she had provided me with. I'm told that the birthday boy was delighted and the cake survived a car journey to Preston (they didn't tell me it was going to travel and I'm very pleased as otherwise I would never have slept!!)
I have my new airbrush and so I made the car white and then sprayed it this rather gorgeous yellow colour.
In December I was asked to make a camera cake for an 18th birthday. The cake was a last minute order after their previous plans had fallen through. This cake was an absolute labour of love and I have to say I enjoyed every second of making it.
The canon camera was a prized possession of their son and so I wanted to make sure I did it justice. The camera was made from a chocolate mud cake and it sat on a 10" madeira cake. This cake had another journey to make to Kendal...not quite as far but again I worried about it until I knew it had arrived safely!
Here's the cake in action at the birthday party!
