Hobbit 'Bag-End' Cake (January 2014)

Poppy Tea-cup Cake (June 2014)
Lemon cake with lemon swiss-meringue buttercream, topped with a fondant icing "picnic blanket" and a modelling paste teacup, saucer and spoon, hand painted with royal icing.
Tea-pot, Cups and Saucers Cake (August 2014)Lemon cake with a lemon curd and mascarpone buttercream. Cups and saucers made from modelling paste, filled with cake and topped with tea-coloured lemon curd. Small sugar-cubes and a teaspoon made of modelling paste. Served with "milk jugs" of raspberry coulis.
"Frozen" Cake - Elsa Sculpture (2014)I made this cake for a competition by Lakeland to win a mixer (I didn't win) but in the meantime got to use some new skills including sculpting her face out of pure white chocolate!! Her dress is made out of standard fondant icing, though I wish I'd used modelling paste, and an icy crown was made out of edible cake lace (a sugary paste that you put in a mould and bake).
I made this cake for friends - well, their aunt baked the cakes, and I decorated. I would have charged £100 for the decorating job, as cost of fondant etc ended up costing close to £75. Each comic book panel was digitally designed using PowerPoint, and I printed them using an online website called EatMyFace or something like that. The cake was surrounded by cake 'pokeballs' and topped with Eevee and Gengar, who apparently are the bride and groom's favourite Pokemon.
