Boat Cake

Well I was asked to do a boat cake for a colleague of my as she has a little cruiser along the Thames. This was probably my most challenging Cake to do and hadn't really worked too much before on carving and shaping cakes.
 I tackled it in a construction type manor, cutting the overall shape first, then carving into two, base of cake and top half. Next needed to shape the invidual halves by tapering in etc, sugarcrumb coat it and then cover in paste. Next stage was applying the filling for the cake before putting the two halves together, moulding and sealing the paste together, Then lastly addings the other structures to the cake.
Once this had all dried overnight all other decoartions could be added!

This one is a lemon based sponge with lemon buttercream filling with a little lemon curd.

RUN DMC 30th Birthday Cake

This cake was requested as a RUN DMC cake- the American Hip Hop group from the lates 80's & 90's for a 30th Birthday.
Its a 2 tier cake with the top tier with a 'record' on it, and for those folks not aware of what a record is, it was before Downloads, CD's, and before Tapes!!
I have tried to make the Run DMC characters, although this has been my first attempt of figure modelling.
Hope you like!

Floral cake

So my latest cake is for my dear Aunt, I went for a floral theme to practice my skills in flower sugarcraft. I wanted to go for vibrant colours but still girly, so I went for pinks, hot pink, oranges and lime green ribbon to compliment.

Cake is a 4 layer vanilla sponge with buttercream and strawberry jam filling, then whole cake is covered in white chocolate ganache.
