Ladybird and bumblebee cupcakes

I was able to decorate these cupcakes at work today as part of our demo day. I used Mich Turner's Cake Masterclass book to create the cute ladybirds and bumblebees and added them to the grass buttercream cupcakes.

Fishing cake

This is my most recent request for a man's 80th birthday. He enjoys fishing and so his daughter asked for this design on the cake...
I thought the icing would look good with the marble effect to represent the water. I used pearl dust to make the fish sparkle and added reeds/weeds to make it look more like a lake river.

School Fayre Cupcakes

My little sister and I made these for her school fayre... simple vanilla cupcakes that spell out the name of her school!

Yoga Cake

I made this cake for my step mum's birthday celebrations. I was a bit nervous about creating her in icing as I haven't had much practice making figures but I think it turned out ok.
The cake is the usual vanilla sponge with edible decoration...

Jubilee cupcakes

Obviously I couldn't let the jubilee pass without making some sort of cake to celebrate it! I decided to go with cupcakes rather than a big celebration cake and this is what happened...
Lemon cupcakes with lemon curd centre and sugarpaste decoration.

Suitcase cake

I made this cake for a friend who is away from home working in America this summer. Her favourite colour is green and she loves knitting, she has also been to a number of places around the world so I used all of this information to create her suitcase.
The cake is a simple vanilla sponge with jam and buttercream (as usual) and the decoration is all edible, yes even the luggage label!
