The cake!

 Just a quick post this morning, as I'm finishing up the last few small things I need to do before my friends come over this afternoon. I commissioned a birthday cake from a talented woman I know who's a self-taught baker and trying to establish her own small business. I decided I wanted a yellow layer cake with chocolate icing, and as for decorations, I told her to "make it a nature theme, maybe with flowers, bugs, grass, etc., and just be creative and surprise me". This is what she came up with......




Isn't it gorgeous?!?! I think she did a fantastic job! It's almost too pretty to cut. :)


Here's a link to Jess's Instagram with some more examples of her work if you're interested.

    1. I think she's getting more orders than she can comfortably fill at the moment, given that she has a full time job elsewhere!

  11. Way too pretty to cut - but I hope it tastes even better. The mushrooms are very clever touch I think.

  13. That's gorgeous! My daughter in law has just started making the most fantastical cakes. I said, "How on earth did you learn to do this." The answer came, "You Tube." These cake decorators are amazing.
