Mamma Mia Disco Cupcake Tower Display


Mamma Mia Disco Cupcake Tower
The birthday party was a Mamma Mia! themed disco. So we took inspiration for the cupcakes by thinking of a 1970s disco dance floor! Bright, vibrant colours! Half of the 80 cupcakes had a silvery number 6 on them and the other half were hand-piped with Mamma Mia! The disco ball on the top cake was non-edible!

Green Man cake

Green Man Cake
I must admit that I hadn't heard of The Green Man until someone requested one on a cake. But good old Google came to my rescue, once again. I'm afraid this is one of those cakes where the photo does NOTHING for it. But the customer must have been pleased, because she sent me this lovely email last night:
Hi Suzanne,

Just wanted to say a big thank you for the cake.

It was absolutely stunning and my dad was really impressed. He said it was the best cake he had ever seen and really made his evening!

I will definitely recommend you in future.

Starburst 21st Cake

Starburst 21st Birthday Cake
This was a rather last minute cake - a lovely lady, for whom I'm making a wedding cake in August called me on Friday and explained that her mum had been ill with flu and so hadn't been able to arrange a cake for her brother's 21st birthday (today, Sunday). Was there any way I'd be able to make a cake? I explained that it would have to be one of my more basic designs, but was more than happy with the suggestion of a 'starburst' cake. She nearly went with a blue colour scheme, until I double checked whether he supported a 'red' football team? Phew! Close one!!
