So, I've not posted in a fair while (about a year, I think! 😳). It's been rather a busy year, with my wedding last summer, a busy work period, and family commitments but I've managed I find a little time to make some cakes. Pictures below include a cross stitch from Kirsty Alsopp's book made for my sister-in-law; a birthday cake for my mother-in-law, a competition cake; where I won first place for both taste and design; a macaroon tower made for our wedding; a first birthday cake with hand-made Mickey Mouse design; a clay pigeon shooting themed birthday cake; a christening cake for my second cousin; and finally my sister-in-law's wedding cake (plus detail of the top). Phew. That's a long list!
Unfortunately, I don't know that I'll have much time again for a while but I'm on a royal icing course at Eastleigh College so hope to have something to show off from that in a couple of months, with maybe a few updates along the way.
I'm also contemplating a bit of a marathon of cake making for charity whereby I hope to auction off a cake a month for a year. Going to run the idea by my charity coordinator at work, plus work out whether I can afford both the time and money involved but will probably bring later in the summer if all goes ahead.
