Last minute cakes
11:44Now and again I am asked to make a birthday cake or other type of celebration cake with only a couple of days notice. This is always a bit of a challenge as I have to make a decision as to how to decorate the cake rather quickly! I usually ask the customer for ideas, for example themes and colours that I could use, and then go from there. A couple of weeks back I made a few birthday cakes for three different people, and this is how they turned out!
For the second cake below, I was told that the birthday boy Sam was really into boxing, and so I designed the cake as if to look like a boxing ring, using wooden dowels as the posts in each corner.
I took inspiration from some other cakes I found online, and made boxing gloves and stars out of icing to decorate the centre of the cake.
The final cake I did was for a young girl who was turning 18. Her mum told me to do something girly so the first words that came to mind were pink, flowers and butterflies! Although time consuming, this was a fairly simple cake to decorate and I think it looks rather attractive.
I love making cakes for special occasions, so if you're in the West Bridgford area and need a cake, please contact me!
