Yes, it's cake.

The photos of the Mystery Shack cake!
I honestly loved every second of making this cake.
Yes, even the 2 billion tiles which took an eternity 😂😂

Made using Squires Kitchen modelling chocolate, cocoa butter for painting, and sugarpaste. 🥰

And so the Cake International announcements begin!!!

Chuffed to bits to be back on the Saracino Make it Take it stand again this year!
Come see me and learn how to make some super cute Pasta Model toppers!
This is one of my favourite parts of CI. I get to meet heaps of lovely people, and we have a proper laugh!

I’ll be there on Friday the 31st of October, from 14:30-17:00, on stand E40, alongside the fabulous Debbie from Little Barn Cakes

Hello everyone!
Just a quick notice to say that I may take a little longer to reply to messages/emails in the coming few weeks.
It’s the run up to Cake International, and it’s all systems go in the cake studio!
I’ll also be taking on fewer orders, as I’m limited for space, and time.
I may also turn away more complex and time consuming orders, and only do simple cakes.
The studio is rammed full of competition pieces, exhibition art, and more ganache than I can afford 😂

Thank you! ###

Something simple from last week is this 8 inch chocolate, dairy free, gamer themed cake for Liam, ordered by our local florist, World of Flowers, Eastcote, Pinner HA5 1RH (cough cough, the best flowers around, cough cough).

A massive thank you to Nikki from Burnt Island Occasions for the toppers. Honestly the friendliest and quickest service I’ve ever used for acrylic toppers! 10/10!!!

One I almost missed!
I took part in an Alice in wonderland online collaboration, and this was my piece!

The Cheshire Cat has always been a favourite of mine, so I had to recreate this iconic moment from the Disney animated movie, where Alice first meets the cat.

Made with Saracino pasta top, and Saracino flower paste.

A massive happy birthday to my wonderful neighbour Anne-Marie, who ordered this 8 inch red velvet heart cake, and 12 Biscoff cupcakes.

Thank you so much for inviting me to your birthday celebration yesterday! Xx

13/09/2025

The final cake I’m sharing from last week (the others were all my standard designs and you’ve all seen those) is Tyrone the T-Rex!

I’ve been making cakes for Micah for 4 whole years, and this year, we went big!
He’s made from Biscoff cake, with Biscoff buttercream, Biscoff spread and crushed Biscoff, and covered in sugarpaste before being airbrushed.

I made this beastie in just two days, in between everything else I had going on, so I’m quite proud of what I achieved.

He’s covered in just one large sheet of sugar paste. No patches or seams here. Check out that belly!!

If you follow me on TikTok, you may have seen me create his frame on live, where at one point, I had over 2000 people watching 🙈

I hope you had a ROARSOME fourth birthday, Micah!

If you’d like to learn how to create structured cakes like this, I have one to one, in person courses, where I teach you everything you need to know about making structures, safe use of tools, creating a strong and stable base, carving polystyrene, making the structures food safe, carving the cake, covering the cake with sugarpaste, and finishing touches.
Drop me a message if you’d like to learn more. (Classes are in west London, uk)

Ok I’m almost done 😂
I promise.

This 10 inch red velvet cricket cake was made for Thomas turning 18.
I was told by the very adorable young man who came to collect the cake, that Thomas would love it, and I’m sure he did.

Made with Saracino pasta model and Saracino pasta cover.

11/09/2025

The third cake from last week is this 8 inch vanilla and strawberry jam, playstation themed cake for Finley!

Again with toppers from Danielle's Sweet Treats

I hope you had a super epic game filled party, Finley!

Ok I’ve kept this hush for too long 😂

I am now a part of the AWESOME Sugar Screams team!!!

If you’re coming to Cake International this year, make sure you check it out. All the artists absolutely smash it every single time.
I’m SOOOOOOO excited to be a part of the biggest (don’t quote me on that) and best (you can quote me on that) sugar artist team in the world!

Enter the Deliciously Dark World of Sugar Screams Cakenstein

This year at Cake and Bake International, horror meets sugar in this jaw-dropping edible haunted house inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Over 70 top-tier cake artists from around the world have joined forces to bring you a terrifying spectacle of sugar, sound, and spine-tingling surprises.

Wander through the feature amongst life-size edible figures of Dr. Frankenstein, his monstrous creation and bride, a ghoulish grave digger, a mad assistant, and even Mary Shelley herself. Expect experiments gone wrong, creatures from the deep, and a scattering of body parts—all sculpted from sugar and cake! With eerie soundscapes, dramatic smoke effects, and plenty of selfie spots, this is a frightfully fun experience for every sweet-toothed thrill-seeker.

Can’t make it to Birmingham? Don’t worry—the horror (and artistry) continues online, with behind-the-scenes content, artist spotlights, exclusive videos, and interactive elements, so you can get a taste of the terror wherever you are in the world.

It’s alive… and it’s edible! Join us—if you dare.

I almost forgot! I’m live tonight at 6pm, showing you how to make this super easy Halloween boo cake!
Meet me here!

This Halloween, I’ll be away at Cake International, competing in competitions, demoing, and being a menace to society.
So I’ll be a little busy in the run up, and unable to take Halloween orders.

Not to worry! I’m hosting a Facebook live, Wednesday the 10th of September, with this super quick, gorgeously Halloweeny BOO cake.

I’ve been testing my speed (for something top secret), and I put this cake together last night in 8 minutes and 22 seconds.
I would share the video, but it’s full of swears, my voice is recovering from a concert on Monday, and I did film it after a large glass or two of Rioja 😂

But I digress. Join me at 6pm on the 10th of September, and I’ll show you how to make this design, with handy tips and tricks to make yours perfect for your Halloween celebration.
I promise the live will be longer than 8 minutes and 22 seconds.

Grab your supplies before then, and it can be a little bake-along!

Out Of The Box Halloween sprinkles mix by PME available on Amazon.

The next set of pics from last week! THE purple princess cake.

I absolutely LOVED making this cake.
All the cute and pretty little details on it!
Another big shout out to Danielle's Sweet Treats for all the card toppers.
She’s a lifesaver! I couldn’t have fit all these orders in without her making all the toppers for me!

I hope you enjoyed your princess party, Lana! You looked absolutely gorgeous in your princess dress!

Starting off last week’s cakes with this beauty.

Earlier this year, I donated a cake and voucher to a charity auction to raise funds for the NAWC, organised by the wonderful Jean.
Her friend Jackie placed the winning bid, and this is what she spent her voucher on. 🥰

A two tier, all vanilla cake, for Phil turning 70.
Even though I was fully booked when she popped up in my inbox, we worked some magic, pulled some strings, and managed to make Phil’s birthday bowling themed cake in between everything else I had going on 🙈

I was given the brief of blue, bowling, and a little sparkle. I got on to Danielle's Sweet Treats and she made these card toppers for me in record time. (Thank you, lovely lady. You’re a lifesaver!❤️)

I hope you had a FANTABULOUS birthday, Phil!!!
