Every year I make a Birthday cake for a gorgeous little girl called Avantika. Each year it is very different and unique, using elements from her theme, party dress and the things she loves. This year her dream cake was a unicorn theme.

I got a description from her mother of all the elements to be combined and then it was my job to make them go together. It had to include bits from her dress, some water colour, lace, some little sugar flowers and a unicorn.

I had a lovely lace mould which was very similar to the dress seen here, and then I made up some little sugar flowers using the blues and yellows of the dress. I blew up an image of a unicorn and cut that out of floral paste. Just a bit of silver and glitter gave it a special twinkle.

I did a little sketch of the cake to send to the client first, I always like to do this. The sketch is never perfect by any means but it helps to give us all a vision as to the end product. I have to admit I was a little worried about how the yellows would marry together with the water colour effect. But I really loved the way it all turned out. 🙂

I can’t wait to do Avantika’s 8th Birthday cake. Rachelx

So I made this cute little Easter Cake recently, except it wasn’t for Easter, it was for a little Girls 5th Birthday. How cute to choose an Easter bunny theme and a great excuse to eat lots of chocolate eggs.

I had loads of fun making it and loved how it turned out with all the matching cupcakes.

Simple as they might look it took me ages to make all the little bits on these Eggs. Some were for the main cake and some for the cupcakes.

Then I made the bunny for the top, to tell you the truth I’m not a big fan of making characters but I loved this little brown bunny and his carrot.

The best bit of making a cake like this is when you put all the elements together to make the final piece. I saved some of the grass shards to go on the cupcakes. Making a last minute decision to ice them in mint green and cream for variety.

I really loved the way it all turned out, I hope you do too. Rachelx
