Haven't posted anything for a long time, but I wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Year.
I will be back in the new year.

Shop update

I have re stocked more colouring wallets in my folksy shop. Really don't want to mention the 'C' word......... ok, will do it anyway......... 'Christmas'!!!!!

They will make perfect stocking fillers for your budding artists, also taking custom orders too.

It's been a while

Didn't realise how long it has been since my last post!!!!!

I have been really busy with fashion designing, but I haven't been neglecting the cakes. I have stopped taking photos of the repeat designs that customers have been asking for. All I seem to have made lately are present cakes, Tiffany box cake and iggle piggle cakes. I have attached 2 pics (please ignore the bad quality) of the cakes that I made for my beautiful children's birthdays recently.



This cake is Destiny the pop star fairy from the Rainbow magic series of books. My daughter absolutely adores these books.

I was really struggling for time on this cake and I felt like such a bad mum for not hand modelling Rory, but my son loved the fact that it was a toy on top which he could play with, so it all worked out in the end.

I have also neglected my folksy shop, but I will hopefully be adding lots of gorgeous things in the coming weeks, just in time for (dare I say it) Christmas............. perfect little stocking fillers!!!!!

Competition!!!!!!

How could I have totally forgotton my 1 year blog anniversary!!!!! Well, I had always planned to have a little competition, so, I suppose, it's better late than never ;o)

So, what could I give away?

The obvious choice would be cupcakes. But, as my cupcakes are too delicate to post, I will give away an item of your choice from my Folksy shop. Then, I thought, I could still have cupcakes as a prize, if the winner can collect them.

So, here goes.............

To celebrate Fashion Cake's 1 year blog anniversary, I am pleased to announce a little competition.

The prize - a choice of 1 item that i sell on my Folksy shop OR a 6 cupcake butterfly theme gift box ( collection only, I am based in Leicester)

All you need to do is leave me a comment telling me which you would like to win. It's as simple as that.

Get all your comments in by Tuesday 4th May and I will annouce the winner on the Wednesday

Good luck

Cupcake photoshoot

A few weeks ago I was asked by the lovely Sadie at Glass Raven if she could take photos of my cupcakes as part of her photography course. As you can imagine, I jumped at the chance....... have you seen the photo's that I take lol!!!

Well, she took the most gorgeous photos of my cupcakes, there were too many beautiful ones to choose from..............

Below are a few of my favourites that I want to share with you.

Take a look at the lovely fabric that arrived for me last week. I have been so busy lately with cakes and designing, that I just haven't had the time to start sewing.......... I can't wait!!!!!!

I will be making lots more colouring wallets and book marks for my folksy store and a few little surprises thrown in too. I will keep you posted and maybe a competition too ;o)

Busy baking!!

I have had a busy weekend. As well as the horse theme cupcakes in the previous post, I also baked these lovelies.......



A 10" square cake with 22 matching cupcakes. Theme was red and white and lots of glitter!!!

24 cupcakes witha fairy theme. Reqested colours were yellow, green and lilac and lots of glitter. I hope the birthday girl loved them

All 24 cupcakes together, don't they look so cute ;o) I absolutely loved making the theme cupcakes gift boxes.

A last minute order for a cake as a surprise. Pink ribbon was dusted with lustre to give a gorgeous sheen, can't see it really clearly on the photo.

I have also made a selection of various cupcakes for a photo shoot, watch this space for more details....................

Horse theme cupcakes

These were one of the girt boxes made this weekend. The theme was a 10 year old girly girl who loves horses. These were for her birthday sleep over to share with her friends. What a lovely surprise. All packaged and ready to go in my new black cupcake gift boxes

How cute does she look!!!

Horses, horse shoes, rosettes, flowers and lots of pink glitter!!!!

My first wholesale order

I have had a wonderful response since opening my folksy store in January which resulted in my first wholesale order..... yay!!!!


I made these lovely fabric bookmarks

And these gorgeous colouring wallets

These can now be purchased at Jelly and Blancmange. Do have a look if you get a chance, loads of gorgeous gifts and party accessories.

I am now waiting on more fabric to arrive so I can get sewing and adding loads more to folksy.

It's been a while

Well, it's been quite a while since I have posted anything new. I have been really busy, lot's of designing projects to complete, cake orders thrown in and I had my first wholesale order via my folksy store. So, in all, a busy but lovely few weeks.


This cake was a last minute design so I kept it very simple.

The little boy who this cake was made for loves Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends, but couldn't decide which character to have on his cake. So his parents asked for a cake that would be suitable to place a toy train on to when he had chosen the one he wanted.

During 2010 I am pleased to announce that I am sponsoring the Mums The Boss leicestershire networking meetings. The meetings are held each month and provide child friendly, low cost networking for mum's in business. Have a look at the website for details and if you do fancy popping along you will be able to sample my cupcakes...... ;o)

I had visions of this shimmering and sparkling in the light!! This was for my sister in law who turned 40 and who is the original party animal lol!!! So a glitter ball was the ideal cake. I did leave this to the last minute - decorating it and hour before we had to leave, so it is not as good as I had hoped. But the birthday girl loved it, so, i guess that is all that matters!!!!!

Oh and another thing...... I apologise for the awful photos, they were very last minute......... not that they are any better usually.

Christening cake

A gorgeous christening cake in pale pink with loads of glitter!!!! And sitting on top a cute little bear

gift box cake

I had a call from a lovely lady who lived out of town and wanted to send a surprise cake to her god son who had turned 21.

I hope he likes it

Colouring wallets

Since opening my folksy store, I have had a lovely reaction to the items and the lovely Karen Jones from 'all about the boys' is now stocking 3 of the designs.

Her site is full of wonderful designer clothing and gifts all at a fabulous price...... I have ordered a couple of the Ralph Lauren polo's for my lil man!!!!
Please do have a look when you have a minute.

Oh, I am still baking incase you were wondering lol!!!
New Valentines gift boxes will be available next week

Me

Many of you probably wouldn't know, as well as baking I also work in the fashion industry - designing. I have been for the past 15 years.

For the past couple of months I have started to make a few little crafty type things for my 6 year old daughter. I started by making her a colouring wallet which I found on Jcasa blog. Well, she loved it so much and so did her school friends, so I began to make a few more. As all her friends seemed to want them I thought I would try making a few and opening up a Folksy store to see how they would sell.

This is the outside of the wallet.

And inside.

I have made them in fabulous designer fabrics and I really hope you love them as much as me and my daughter do.

Please do take a look and I hope to be adding lots of different products soon.
