22nd June 2011 - Xbox, Call of Duty Cake

This cake was the most fun I've had so far with my designs.  All I was asked for was an Xbox/Call of Duty themed cake.  I decided that I could make an Xbox and turn it into an Army bunker with walls and soldiers on guard.  Well maybe not on guard but stationed there anyway.

The cake was for a teen boy named Jordan and his name needed to be on the cake some where too.  Dog tags came to mind immediately and are a must on an army cake.  I decided not to have any guns on the cake with the soldiers but instead have them doing a bit of Rest and Relaxation.

I made one read a book, another asleep with his feet up and arms behind his head, and the one on top playing a white Xbox.  All are drinking Coke... a must for any Gamer as I know =].

The design was finished off with a camouflaged cake drum, grass tufts, two giant bullets and lots of poppies (the flower we associate to war), to give it some colour.

21st June 2011 - Princess Doll Cake number 2

Wow I just showed to people at work the doll cake I did the other day and got another order out of it... How cool.  I needed to make this one different to the last one but still make it girly.  I designed a different bodice but used similar colours. 

This cake also needed "Kaitlyn" and the number 6 on it somewhere.  I decided to have the name in bold across the dress and have Peppa Pig (which was also asked for like the other doll), hold a little flag in hand with the number six on it.

14th June 2011 - Newcastle United Cake

Another football cake, but this time not so boring.  Paddy wanted me to make a cake for his son Robert.  To begin with he asked me to make a Spiderman cake... this was a few weeks before I was due to make it.  I had a few designs in mind, until about a week before the cake was due.  His son had changed his mind and wanted a Celtic Football club cake.  I thought fine. okay and looked at the Internet about the team for ideas.

Two days before the cake was due he changed his mind again to a Newcastle United logo cake... Fairly tricky little logo as it happens.  I did my best and both Paddy and Robert were happy with the results.  So All is Good =].
