The Cake That Tested My Patience!

This is it!  Finally I have finished the Harley Davidson cake complete with rider.  It is so difficult working with black fondant, when you strengthen it it goes grey and black is very sticky without additives.  The topper itself was very fiddly but I think I have made a good representation of the real thing?

Happy Birthday Tom Edwards - 18 Today!

Happy birthday to Tom Edwards who is 18 today and is off to Cheltenham with his mum Karen to get his first  (and hopefully only) tattoo to remember his best friends Eamon and Charlie.  Have a wonderful day out and enjoy the cake! Just in case any one is wondering "why the builders bum?"  Tom is training to take over the family building business one day. x

What a difference a bit of sushine makes!

Wow hasn't it been lovely to bask in a bit of sun today?  All of a sudden the chickens are laying again. 12 eggs today!

I have just finished an 18th birthday cake today for a friend and she is dying to see it so I have just emailed her the pictures because I can't post them yet.

The cake for Thursday is now in the oven and smells lush!  So far the Harley Davidson to go on top seems to be going quite well but I'm not going to uncross my fingers until it's stood up on top of the cake with rider astride!
