We are off for a well earned break!

The mixer has been unplugged, the turntable shelved, and the oven is off!

We’re home Friday, but we’ll be open on Saturday for collections, so don’t panic if you’ve placed an order. I promise your cakes will still be ready on time.

I’ll be checking messages and emails when I can, but please be patient. 🙏🏼
We don’t often get a break, and I know I’ll be told off by Kai if I’m glued to the inbox 😂🙈
The studio phone is switched off, so please leave a message, and I’ll get back to you once we’re home on Friday.

Now, where’s those cocktails?👀
I want one with a paper umbrella! 🍹

I absolutely adore the gorgeous Sarah, and her two boys, William and Jacob.
She sends me images of simple cakes for them, and says “this theme, but I’m leaving it up to you”.
That’s not why I adore her, but it has contributed 😂

So when she sent me an image of a simple Iron Man cake for Jacob’s birthday, as a Marvel fan, I immediately thought “oh absolutely not. I’m running with this one”. 😂🙈

The 100% freehand painted Iron Man took around 4 hours, and is painted using lemon extract and dust colours.
This gives a watercolour-esque paint, which can be blended, but not built up, meaning every brushstroke has to be in exactly the right place.
Unlike painting with cocoa butter, which is like an oil paint, there’s no room for errors. It can’t be covered up by adding more paint, and it can’t be scraped off. You get just one chance to get it right.

I placed Mr Stark on a black sugarpaste covered cake, and added some gold to make it really pop.
Jacob’s name is made from hand cut modelling chocolate in an Iron Man font, and painted gold to match.

I’m a little bit proud of this one. 🙈 I REALLY enjoy painting, and once I’d stepped back from it, and readjusted my eyes to remove the painting blindness, I absolutely loved it.

I hope you had the BEST birthday EVER, Jacob!!! X###

“Can you make a Spiderman/Venom cake for my 8 year old?”

Yes. Yes I can.

As a HUUUUGE Marvel fan, this one was SUPER fun to make!
All those Venom tendrils enveloping Spiderman took a while to make, but they’re so effective!
A quick spray of edible glaze gave them that almost liquid shine, and the added piping gel ‘blood’ on his teeth made him extra Venomy!

Happy 8th birthday, young man!

Sugarpaste: The SUGAR PASTE
Colourings: Colour Mill
Piping gel: PME Cake Decorating
