Wow time does get away. It has been way too long since I last posted. So I though I might post my favourite cakes of 2011. There has been some fun stuff to choose from but here is my final list....and the awards go to...
Favourite Wedding Cake of 2011
Favourite Kids Cake of 2011

Favourite Gory Cake of 2011
Favourite Car Cake of 2011
Favourite Novelty Cake of 2011
I thought you might like to see some fun kids cakes I did recently.
This one is based around the character Humphrey from Humphrey's Corner.
I created this Carousel Cake last week for a very special 1st birthday.
What I loved about it so much was that not only was it gorgeous and all the hard worked paid off with a beautifully finished cake but it was entirely my own design.
Often customers contact me with pictures of cakes they would like re-created and that is great but it just isn't the same as seeing a cake through from concept to delivery. Seeing a design you have created come to life is thrilling and the customers end up with their own designer cake.
So next time you are thinking of a cake consider getting it designed especially for you.
I can take your ideas, colour schemes and inspirations and put it all together into a design with you in mind.
Martin made this great little stop motion animation of the cake too. Really makes it come to life.
I have decided to have a change of pace on my blog.
So far I have shared with you my cakes and some insider tips on cake decoration and construction. I have enjoyed doing so and I hope anyone reading has enjoyed my cakes. I now have taken on a career path that allows me to spend a lot more time on my cake passion and to grow my business.
I had a think about what I love reading in a blog and it is more than just the final products that are produced by all the talented people who write them. It is the insight into their lives, what drives their passions and motivates them to strive to create the things they do. I think it is also what I love about reality TV, a view into a life that is not your own.
So here I go...
I was born on a warm September day...lol just kidding.
What I really wanted to write about what has led me to my career with cake and the big changes I am making in my life to follow that dream.
I recently found myself in as prolonged mid twenties crisis that extended to my late twenties. I phenomenon not to uncommon I hear.
This car cake is based on a Porsche 911 Turbo made between 1975 and 1989 (also known as the 930). It was made with matching number plates and colours to the birthday boy's car.
The car was carved from a 12 inch square mud cake and ended up 18 inches long and 100% edible.
We tossed up adding a sound module for car sound effects but in the end decide the launch of Stacked Cake's audible cakes can wait for another day. 
Below are some photos of the construction of the cake.
This cake was really fun to make. The design requested was for a Kindle Cake.
For those who may not know a Kindle is a an Amazon E-Reader. I have one myself and it is brilliant. You can buy books cheaply anywhere in the world you might be. The books are much cheaper than to purchase a real book and it is just so convenient (no Amazon have not paid for this endorsement).
Anyway back to the cake. So I decided that instead of having a plain cake under the Kindle it would look great it the cake was made to replicate a book.
The book is all hand painted and the Kindle utilities edible images.
I was really happy with how it came out, very realistic.
