Flicking through old photo albums always makes the hours pass like minutes!

I’m lucky that my world still revolves around creativeness, and quite a lot of music. But maybe this weekend I’ll borrow Noah’s Switch and play Just Dance!! Or march around the streets of Allington with a flag 🤣

What did you love as a kid? Do you still do it now?

This is another cake from last year - a boxing themed cake for Jake’s 30th. And it’s a great example of the 3 different colours of icing that I buy.

If I need black then I buy black icing!

If I need a small amount of red then I colour white icing with a red gel colour - Christmas red by Sugarflair® Food Colours is my favourite.

If I need a large amount of red like on this cake then I buy red icing. You have to add so much food colouring to get a bright colour that it can affect the flavour and consistency.

For every other colour, I colour white icing with gel food colours.

No reels, no carousels, just a single photo of a gorgeous cake!

This simple and beautiful cake was for Francesca’s 16th birthday last year. And it’s one of my favourite colours Colourmill Studio dusk. Colourmill oil based food colours are my favourite when colouring buttercream as they mix so easily.

I need your help!!

I’m finally putting the finishing touches to my first tutorial and I’d really like a few volunteers to test it out. Basically I want to check that my instructions make sense!!

I’ll send you a kit with the instructions and some modelling paste and all I ask is that you send me some feedback and perhaps a few photos.

If you’d like to help me out, then email me [email protected] and I’ll be in touch.

Thanks!

If you’ve never used modelling paste, before you start creating you must do this…have a play!!
Give the icing a good knead, make balls, sausages, pears, worms. Then roll it all up and do it again until you feel confident with the feel of the paste.
