I’ve been making a lot of interesting cakes and then going on to make more interesting cakes instead of sitting down and blogging about them. I apologise for being so easily distracted, and by way of apology, here are some pictures!
A well defended castle for a special birthday boy. I'm told by reliable sources that he managed to defeat the dragon and win through to the chocolatey goodness inside.
A simple Christening cake with some adorable sleepy characters.
Hey there little guy, need a nap?
A blurry picture of a ganached chocolate cake inspired by the Edinburgh Tattoo. Just visible is the piped design of the Forth rail bridge.
A geeky cake for a marzipan loving programmer.
A sparkly skull cake for a sparkly rock chick.
Totoro cream puffs - not strictly cake, but so adorable, right?
Stay tuned for more pictures!

I need very little excuse to get over excited about cakes, but when I was invited to a chocolate party last weekend…Well, I could hardly control myself. In fact, I think I did very well just to stick to one type of cupcake and one big cake.
These are hot chocolate cupcakes. Chocolate Chili sponge with a hint of cinnamon frosted with dark chocolate buttercream and chocolate coated marshmallows. I personally can’t resist a chocolaty marshmallow.
And this is a 4-layer white chocolate cake decorated with three flavours of macaron, hand made chocolates, hand piped chocolate cupcakes and at least three types of edible glitter. I’m sorry there aren’t any better pictures of this one. Oh well, just means I’ll have to make another!
