Hope to see you there!

Why send a card when you can say it with a biscuit! Above is a picture of some biscuits I did for a gift for a wedding couple. The biscuits are a rich shortbread topped with fondant icing which will keep sealed for a couple of months. Using biscuits to send a message is a lovely idea and so versatile. They can be used for any occasion and make great place name cards for weddings and parties. They can even be used to promote your business - ever thought of business biscuit cards?

It's a hamster!

One of my latest projects was to create a hamster cake for a 10th birthday celebration. I didn't want to go for a flat cake so decided to make a 3D design by carving a body and head so that the figure stood up. This proved very challenging as the weight of the cake meant I had to prop it up to stop it leaning or worse still the head falling off. I had great fun creating a furry coat and painting in the same colours as Lili's pet hamster.
