I made a playable Angry Birds cake earlier this "Summer" (if I can call it that...) (inspired by http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2011/02/21/playable-angry-birds-birthday-cake-video/)

Was so much fun, unfortunately its meant that no cake I've made since has had a chance at stirring up any kind of excitement
There were ALOT of very hyper children after eating all that bright food colouring though!

(hope the link works)

Made some cupcakes on Thurs night for my OH's birthday yesterday. Can't believe how out of practice I am! (I used to make cakes and desserts in my old job 3 years ago.) I made a few errors but at least I will learn from it for next time.



(Will never be using Stork again for the buttercream, omg it is so yellow!! Totally ruined the colour I was trying to make!)









Made 36 altogether... just need an excuse to get some more practice now!

Made this cake today. It took me a lot longer than I expected it would and I started to get annoyed with it so its not as neat as I hoped, and I made a total mess of the icing on the board when I was doing the final decorating on the cake doh!





This is the bag I was copying

That's a fab cake. Is there anyone who makes cakepops? I wanted to know where the cheapest place is to buy Candy Melt from please?

The cheapest and most convenient place for me is Hobbycraft, £2.99 a bag... much cheaper than the online prices (considering delivery)

Also if you head to the hobbycraft website there is a "£5 off a £25 shop instore or online" voucher, when you sign up to their newsletter. So I usually get 9 bags for £26.91 (minus the £5 voucher = £21.91), so £2.43 per bag....

(if you don't need 9 bags, you may be able to find something else in there....)

This is a cake I made for my sons 9th Birthday inspired by a cake I saw on here ages ago (sorry couldn't remember who made it). Hope you like it.

ahhh i love the angry birds cake!

This is the cake I made for my boyfriend for our 3 years




It's my dads birthday next week, he has always wanted a maserati, which I don't think he will be getting!
But I was thinking about making him a maserati cake, don't know whether it will be too ambitious though,
has anyone got any ideas on how I could do it?

I found a bag of candy melt type chocolate drops in sainsbury's, strawberry flavour for about £1.50.

I hope that is some good to you.
I made my first cake pops today, rather on the large side, but tasted really good!
