After you have made your mixture up, seperate it in to different bowls and add colours, then layer it in to your tin xx

I have been asked to make a cake, simple onelayer, covered in sugarpaste with a company logo on. Is there a way to transfer the logo onto the sugarpaste? Or will i have to draw it on?

[MissMamma]

ohmigod they're amazing. I'm constantly amazed by you baking ladies! Your cakes are better than ones i see in shops..xx

 

[Jo]

Cassandra they look fab

Well Jack wants a "ben 10" one for his birthday on Monday, hmm I'm not that confidant so am going to order some figures to go on the top.

I have a stripy cake to do for my daughters friends Birthday on 12th, not worried about that really.

I have also been asked to do some samples as someone is looking to order 200 for a wedding

I did the Handy Manny cake with a topper and I am sooooo not impressed with it
also did 2 dozen cupcakes in brights, which looked ace if I do say so my self, I'll upload later though as can't be assed now

 

[Arlandria]

Wow, you got some work cut out there!

Things are picking up for me also, I've got a camper van cake to do next week, a retirement cake for a friends Dad who has left the police after 30 years and a christening cake the week after that! As well as MIL birthday cake..

Ive also got a few, not 'set' in stone, someone wants a Finding Nemo cake for a little boy who's 1, an iphone4 for a friends 30th in Nov and an anniversary cake for Dec...

 

[strawberry19]

aww well done girls!! ive got a 21st birthday cake to do this weekend for my cousin that my aunty is paying for going with the chocolate and blue theme

 

[Jo]

Ok my "handy manny" ones
Like I said I'm not impressed at all with the topper on this cake, I hope I don't have to use one again.

[Arlandria]

Oooo Jo! I always love your cuppies!!

Is the handy manny topper printed?!?!?

 

[Jo]

Yeah the topper is printed TBH it could have done with going on a slightly bigger cake, I really must invest in some more tins!!
It was just horrible and wouldn't "sit" right, I had to walk away a few times

I'm about to start prep on some "girly" ones with name plaques
