I’m glad this weather is cooler but not looking forward to next week - temperatures are back up and a 2 tier cakes needs making 🙈 But here’s one I made last night, along with 30 cupcakes. I think I’ve made at least 3 of Ava’s birthday cakes now ❤️

Black buttercream needs at least 24 hours (in my experience) to develop into a very dark shade of black. I had to resist from adding extra colouring as I couldn’t budge from my buttercream looking a dirty grey colour but thankfully my patience paid off and I’m pleased with the result ☺️ x

Hiiii everyone! I stumbled across this club just this afternoon and it ticked every box in my eyes. The learning aspect, the community and challenges; I can’t wait to get started! I am completely self-taught and have baked for just over a year. It was all due to wanting to save money so I opted to bake my daughter’s birthday cake instead of ordering one. I had so many compliments and reactions (I definitely surprised myself) and I loved every single second of it! I began making cakes for friends & family and very quickly this turned into a little business of my own- Mama Bakes Homemade Cakes. In just over a year I have baked lots of cakes for weddings, birthdays, christenings etc and there has been lots of ups and downs. I have learnt so much but modelling has always been an area I am less confident with. I’m looking forward to meeting you all and sharing this experience with you. Jen 🥰 x

Hi everyone! Quick question… Does anyone have any recommendations for what brand to use for purchasing coloured dusts? What gauge florist wire should I use for modelling? (Sorry; I’ve realised that’s two questions 🤣) Thank you! X

As requested I went with a standing Giraffe! Its a little more challenging, but lots to learn and I'm sure this will open up a new skill to make other fun standing toppers.
