Homemade Cakes thread

Great thread

I used to work as a dessert chef and had to make tons of cakes - so many that I got sick of them (made 7 two tier cakes most days in the middle of summer as we supplied them to a tea garden). Those were some long sweaty hours!

Carrot cake:


Chocolate:

Coffee:

a birthday cake:

Victoria sponge:

Lemon drizzle (my favourite one):

and a veg patch made from icing which was the decoration ontop of a cake lol:

oooh my kind of thread :j

I love it when people have a go at homemade cakes.

I started doing them when I became a mummy 10 years ago and now I make cakes for all our family and friends and hope to make it a full time job when my youngest starts school.

quick question, i make the odd cake for family birthdays and such, but claffys and nikinackyloo how do you make your butterflys and flowers to decorate your cakes, and what sort of icing do you use to cover your cakes as i'd like mine to look better!
thanks in advance
