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.

My new store

My new online store is now open. Not cake related but I am hoping to add lots of products. Please do take a look and I hope you all like it.

First cake of 2010

Well, this is the first cake for 2010, a simple design to ease me into this year.
The brief was pink, hearts and glitter, I think it works really well.

Looking forward to lots of baking this year!!!!
