When one of my regular customers (friend) asked me to do a Mario birthday cake for her son (as I had done his last 4 cakes), the pressure was on. I didn’t think that I could do Mario, he was so well known, I just told her yes, I would try and if I couldn’t … Read more

We were doing cammo cakes before cammo cakes became trendy, but we didn’t have anything that excited us when using it, until now. What better way to showcase cammo than with ZOMBIES!

This cake was for my son’s 10th birthday. There are great HOW TO clips on You Tube to show you how to make the Birds which helped me – they were all made from fondant. They were tricky to make but so worthwhile. I made them a week before the cake so they had time … Read more
