Magic mushrooms

Now you may find this hard to believe but sometimes I can obsessed by the little things! It may be one rose or a butterfly or a cookie mushroom.

Last week I took part in a big project, with seven dessert tables, five big cakes to make, and various other sundries. However I became obsessed with making these mushroom cookies! I got very excited with the thought of them and spent a week working on them. 

I was so happy with the finished product that I decided to give them their own photo shoot.

(The magic is a little bit of popping candy in the middle.)

Stay tuned because I am now obsessed with a Christmas version.

Cakes lost in the mist of time!

I am trying to sort out my photos before my computer stops working, and I have found lots of cakes that I never posted. So I thought I'd give them an airing!

There's no logical link to them, except that they have been wallowing in my 'photos to edit' folder for various amounts of time.

This is a 1st birthday/christening cake with the little boy's favourite toy as a sugar topper.

This is a 40th birthday cake for a friend. His wife was taking him on a surprise trip to Finland and wanted a cake to reflect that. 

This was a simple cake for an Alice In Wonderland party.

There are more but I don't want to overwhelm you!

Poke London's 10th birthday

Earlier this week I was involved in the fabulous celebrations for Poke London's 10th birthday. Miss Cakehead and I came up with seven (yes seven!) different dessert tables to represent some of their campaigns, including Orange ( an infinite rainbow cake and balloonacy), Sykpe (two cakes skyping each other)and the Global Rich List (bling your cupcake). It was great fun as Poke are amazingly creative, so we could let our imaginations go wild. 

I baked all the cakes. There were about 150 eggs, 10000g butter and enough icing sugar to cover my house! (Kooky Bakes made the macarons and Crumbs and Doilies the cupcakes, well I couldn't quite manage everything!) I also made a 10 pinata but forgot to take pictures of it.

(And yes, it is supposed to be a cow pat!)
