Pretty pink and white Christening/Baptism cake

First birthday carousel cake - I'm often asked for a very small first birthday cake, but something that looks impressive. So, I've designed this cake, only 6" in diameter, so about 15 portions, with a music box carousel on top, that the baby can listen to after the cake has all gone. The carousel can be pink or blue as well, with matching decoration on the cake

2-tier vanilla and white chocolate wedding shower cake with a white drip, white chocolate roses, and decorations and mini meringues - would also make a great birthday cake.

This was a really sweet commission for a lady who wanted to give her daughter a baby shower party. Vanilla (gluten free), vanilla (gluten rich) and chocolate cup cakes with pastel coloured tops and tiny moulded and hand painted baby clothes, baby footprints, buttons and other baby paraphernalia. She was so pleased that she rang me when her husband brought them home to tell me they looked beautiful, and then e-mailed me later to say they tasted delicious too.

I made an almost life-size fender stratocaster cake a couple of years ago and last week I was asked to make an acoustic guitar cake in the same size.

This was a really sweet commission, with pink and white marbled sponge inside, a model pram on top and lots of girly decoration.

Happy Birthday Claire!
