IT ACTUALLY WORKS 😍

It was my Dad's birthday a couple of days ago. I won't tell you how old he was, but I think the last cake he had made for him was for his 40th birthday. 33 years ago 🙀🤣.

My Dad is known to love a brandy (or three), so I decided to make him a barrel cake which actually works like a real barrel. See it work in the comments (only poured a tiny bit mind, I didn't want to waste any). He loved it 😍.

Not long after I decided on this cake, Dawn Butler - Dinkydoodle only brought out some amazing kits. One of which was to make.....a barrel cake! Wohooo. My prayers were answered and my life was made a whole lot easier!!!!

I was also fortunate enough to win one of Dawn's amazing airbrushes at CI, so the first time I picked up the airbrush, I crossed my fingers and went straight in on the cake. I couldn't decide if it was a brave or crazy move, but hey ho.

The airbrushing needs a bit of practice, but I was happy with the end result for a first attempt.

I made a cake a little while ago for a very special little girl, who was turning 1. I loved making everything to go on this cake.

I think this simple ivory cake with the gorgeous little bears was ideal for a baby shower, and it fit with the theme perfectly 🥰.

This was a vanilla cake, with strawberry conserve and vanilla buttercream. It was covered with Renshaw fondant, and the models were made with Saracino pasta model.

I haven't got a clue on the world of golf, other than you wear white pants and a baseball cap, hit a ball, then drive around in a buggy looking for the ball 🤣. I'm guessing it's a lot more technical and extremely skillful given how much players can earn. If I was having a game of golf, I can guarantee I would end up knocking someone's teeth out when I've taken a swing, and accidentally lost my grip on the club....

I did enjoy making this golf bag, and nobody was hurt in the process, so that's a bonus 🙌.

I had great fun making this Halloween treat tower for us all to enjoy. It's been hard work trying to keep my little one from eating everything before they were stuck on mind.

I found this amazing tutorial by Claire Corbett over at the website for just £30. There are Christmas towers 🎅🤶.

My tower included meringues, aero mint bubbles, vanilla cakesicles, red velvet cakesicles, orea cookies, biscoff sandwich cookies and Foxes jam cream sandwiches. The cauldrons were filled with chocolate cake, caramel and boost.. I think that's everything.

I always find chocolate work really hard but I did really enjoy making it.
