Web designers!!!

09 April 2010

This post is a bit of a rant. For the past 18 months, I've tried to get someone to update my website. The first web designer I engaged (who I thought was a good friend) let me down badly despite all the work I passed on to him!! 12 months later, at the end of last year, I held a competitive bid ...

Absence makes the heart grow fonder?

04 April 2010

I've not blogged for a while, despite my best intentions to do so. I do have a good excuse though. I was away on holiday and now that I am back I feel energised and very refreshed (NOT!). I decided to go the the US (as always) and decided to visit the South. I chose to go to Savannah, Georgia so I ...

Winnie and friends

17 February 2010

I have a confession. While I enjoy many aspects of sugarcraft, I don't enjoy figure modelling as such. I think it's because I've never had any fomal training and therefore just go with my instincts. Winnie the pooh is one ofy my favourite characters and I was so glad I had the opportunity to make a ...

Valentine cookies

06 February 2010

I thought I'd experiment and make some Valentine day cookies. I modelled them on the love hearts pastel colours and they looked quite cute. While I was at it, I decided to go a bit further and cater to the anti valentine brigade. While some might argue that the day has been highly commercialised, ...

Tea time treat

31 January 2010

This green and ivory handbag and shoe was for a friend's 40th. She wanted the colours to be ivory and green and since Chanel is one of her favourite designers, I quilted the bag as a nod to the classic handbag design. The cake handle was a challenge but I got there in the end. The bow I ...

Wedding Cakes - A Design Source

22 January 2010

I was very excited to find out that another of my cakes has been published in a magazine by Squires called - Wedding Cakes - A Design Source. It's one of the first cakes I ever made using my favourite flower (blossom) and dragees. The magazine features the best wedding cakes from cake designers in ...

Inspiration

17 January 2010

If you haven't guessed by now, pink is my favourite colour and the rose is one of my favourite flowers. That's why both tend to feature a lot in my work. Therefore when I found a gorgeous bag cake design that Icing Dreams created which had both elements I just had to try and make it for myself. My ...

An attitude of gratitude

04 January 2010

I thought it might be a good idea to thank a number of people who provided me with lots of support, advice and inspiration in designing and making my winning cakes for Wedding TV's The Great Cake Bake. Particularly, I would like to thank Graham of M and B of London, who kindly and very promptly ...

Happy 2010 to you all!

03 January 2010

Three days into the New Year and I haven't broken any of my resolutions. Well technically I haven't because I didn't make any! One thing I am determined to do, is make better cakes and try new techniques. I will also try and keep you updated with my progress (or lack of) over the next few months. I ...

Countdown to the New Year

31 December 2009

Just a few hours left till 2010 and I am reminded that I owe a debt of gratitude to God, who has been my joy and strength. I thank Him for what He has done; what He is doing and what He is yet to do in my life. I wish you all a happy and very successful 2010 and I am looking forward to all the ...
