Welcome to my little baking corner!

I made this cake for my daughter's 16th birthday.

 I made this cake for my son's graduation. The books and globe are all cake and a mouse standing on the globe symbolizes being on top of the world. Each book marks a stage leading to graduation and references his favorite Marvel series. 

 I baked this cake for my son, who is a keen surfer. The cake is shaped like a wave, with a surfer riding on top. Every part of the cake is edible, making it a delicious and fun nod to his favorite hobby. 

 I made this cake for my husband's birthday, and it was a real challenge! The jellyfish is all isomalt, and diving into that stuff was like entering a whole new world of cake-making. Honestly, if it wasn't for my husband's special day, I might've thrown in the towel halfway through! 

The ice bath cake was specially baked to celebrate 27th birthday of a gym's co-owner. The birthday coincided with the gym opening a new recovery studio featuring an ice bath. 

I have made this cake for someone who personifies boundless energy and relentless positivity. The Minion is edging his way across a narrow beam over a shark infested river to reach his goal - a Blackpool Football t-shirt, which is a nod to their town of origin. 

This dragon cake was specially made for a personal trainer who recently started running a calisthenics class. The cake features a dragon as the centrepiece, representing the coach's standards he is expecting whether it is a simple push up or a handstand. Surrounding the dragon are little figures - the  pupils, each one eager to learn and improve their fitness levels. 

I made this cake for my mother-in-law's birthday as she is a keen gardener. The base of the barrow is wood with a wheel made from jam jar lids. The main body is a Victoria sandwich with fondant sides airbrushed for a wood effect with piped flowers on top.

This cake was specially made to celebrate a joint birthday that coincided with the Easter holiday. To capture the spirit of Easter, I made a rabbit and put it atop a bed of green frosting, representing a grassy meadow. This rabbit is my first freestanding figure and took me ages to make it!   

This Mother's Day, my husband wanted to show their appreciation for their mother, who is an avid gardener. 

I made this cake to celebrate the successful go-live of the project at EY. The cake features two tiers that symbolise the key aspects of the project. The first tier represents the implementation of a core HR system and the second tier represents the Onboarding project that I managed, featuring the names of all the team members who worked tirelessly to make it a success. The cake is designed with a superhero theme because everyone on the team is a big fan of superhero movies. 

I made this cake for my daughter who likes burgers and has a very sweet tooth. Why choose when you can have both!  

This cake was specially made for my mother-in-law and designed in the shape of a classic teapot.  

This cake was specially made as a thank you. Luke specializes in boxing so this cake was a way to acknowledge his  commitment to boxing. 

I made this cake for a friend who is training to master the handstand.  The cake's design reflects our previous discussion on which animal would excel in calisthenics, with the monkey agreed to being the best option. This cake was made to encourage and support her fitness goals. 

Making this cake was so much fun! It was created to celebrate my friend Kat's birthday. Kat is a personal trainer who loves pandas. The cake is designed in the shape of a panda doing a pull-up on a bar, representing Kat's fitness goal of achieving a 50kg weighted pull-up.

This cake was made especially for my daughter's birthday, who has a very sweet tooth and loves all things sugary. Ironically, at the time, she had declared that she would never eat strawberries, but I was determined to change her mind. So, I decided to create a cake in the shape of a giant strawberry, and it turned out to be the perfect way to win her over. 

A special cake for a special lady whose friends wanted to surprise her with this cake. It does feel like a proper book club with all that food and wine. And what would life be without one! 

It might be one of the first 3D cakes I have made. I made it for my son's 18th birthday. The box is made to look like vintage wood and is filled with roasted coconut shavings. The bottle is a mint chocolate cake, cased in modeling chocolate and topped with a personalized wine label. 

It might be the first 3D cake I have ever made. It was to mark my son's graduation from school.  

Following on from Luke's boxing glove cake (somewhere above), for his birthday cake I continued with a boxing theme. This time I was focusing on a boxing ring and tried to make it look more real by using miniature ropes. 

This birthday theme was a request by someone who is a big trainer fan. The Nike box and the shoe are both real cakes with different flavours.  The box is a cookie dough flavour and the shoe is fererro rocher. The box has been air brushed to create a more shiny effect and the shoe left as plain fondant to look more like leather.

This simple and traditional honey cake was made with no special occasion in mind, but because my son likes this cake and I wanted to sweeten his day. 

I baked this cake for my mother-in-law's birthday. I tried a new lemon sponge recipe (it came out really well!) and made a strawberry reduction. It is the first time I tried the chocolate border to decorate the cake - there are lessons learned there but the cake came out really well.  

I made this cake as a practice to improve my piping skills for creating beautiful flowers to sit on top of cakes.

Although this birthday cake may look simple, it actually required me to learn several new techniques at the beginning of my baking journey.

This vintage-style cake was specially made to celebrate my daughter's birthday, who loves the adorable My Melody.  

For this cake, I've decided to try piping different flowers and techniques.  I like how vibrant and full the composition came out.

On the day of delivery, the scorching heat could have melted the flowers on the cake. To prevent this, I decided to present the cake in a hat box because it is sturdy enough to keep the blocks of ice on top of the lid as well as around the box during transport. It was a great relief to see the cake arrive in perfect condition.

Practice makes perfect, and this cake was an opportunity for me to improve my piping skills by creating a bouquet of piped chrysanthemums.

This might be the cake that started me on my baking adventure.  Although it may appear simple, it took me a considerable amount of time and effort to make it presentable for my daughter's birthday.

Cartoon-style cookies for a bride who is a graphic designer. It is still challenging for me to pipe directly onto the cookies, but I am getting better at it.  

I made these cookies for a client as a little thank you for all their help.  

These cookies were made for a family to represent professions or hobbies that people have in real life.

These burger-shaped cookies were made to make a lunch and learn session a bit more fun. (and they proved to be a success too!)  

I made these cookies for the owner of a lovely steak restaurant in Hammersmith. He always ensures that you have a great meal and a fantastic atmosphere when you visit, so I wanted to show my appreciation for his efforts. 

A few cookies for one of my clients to celebrate Christmas. In this case, I experimented with making letter transfers  as freehand piping is not fully mastered yet.  

A few cookies to share with colleagues to celebrate a successful project go-live! Airbrushing needs some refinement ..

I made these cookies for my friends. They are expecting their first baby girl who they lovingly nicknamed "Dinosaur". 

These cookies mark my first attempt at cookie decoration. I had to learn to make my own royal icing and ensure the cookies held their shape, among other techniques. There is a long journey ahead and I am looking forward to it!

I enjoy baking a batch of cookies as a heartfelt gesture to express my gratitude to my team. It's important to me that they understand how much I appreciate their efforts, and I truly cherish the way it never fails to bring a smile to their faces. 

Another batch of thank you cookies made for my colleagues. 

These chocolate cookies have become a family favourite and are the go-to option for school bake sales or family gatherings. 

These cookies are infused with heartfelt wishes for a swift recovery, aiming to brighten someone's day and contribute to a speedier healing process. 

These OREO cupcakes are always a hit at school bake sales! They're extra special because they have a hidden OREO cookie inside, adding a delicious surprise to every bite.

These cookies were an experimental batch aimed at exploring how different techniques can impact the final product. Although not all of them turned out perfectly shaped, it didn't affect the taste, which was still delicious.
