Cooper and his mum had been guests at Josh's birthday and had seen and tasted his lego cake so came to see me for Cooper's cake.

This cake was also a gluten free chocolate cake covered with gluten free ganache and fondant.

Cooper is a fan of Mario and his mum had seen a similar cake I had made for my husband about 2 years ago. I've had lots of practise since then and I like this version much better!

All decorations (excluding mario) were hand made from fondant. Cooper's mum wad purchasing more mario kart figurines to add to the cake.

I hear the cake went down a treat - was a great table centrepiece and then tasted yummy once they finally cut it!

It's that time of the year again. It was Josh's birthday and after having made his cake last year Josh's mum called upon my services yet again.

This cake has to be both nut free and gluten free. This was a challenge as there isn't many options available when you are looking for nut & gluten free chocolate. I eventually found a nice one after trying a few horrible ones!

This cake was gluten free chocolate cake covered with chocolate ganache and fondant.

Josh's 2 current obsessions are Ben 10 and Lego. Ben's mum, Donna, was in Ben10 overload, so had vetoed the idea of the Ben10 cake - so Lego it was!

I loved the simplicity - yet effectiveness of this design. Brings back lots of childhood memories!

This week I had the pleasure of making the birthday cake for a friends son's 5th birthday. Josh was having a magic themed party, complete with a real magician so I decided to stick with the theme and create a cake with magicians hat, rabbit and wand. The base cake was chocolate mud cake, the hat was butter cake and there was also some buttercake cupcakes I made with the leftover mix. The actual day was sweltering hot but the cake handled it well and the party was great fun.
