Wedding cake with sugar fabric roses





I made this four tier cake for Emily and Andrew's wedding at Radley College. Although the cake is enormous, it doesn't look out of place in its magnificent surroundings!

Cascade of chocolate roses


I created this cake with its cascade of white and milk chocolate roses for Emma Hancock's wedding in May. The modelling, I must confess, was not done by me!

St John Vianney


I made this cake for Gwen’s sixtieth birthday party. She is a great Francophile, and the Curé d'Ars is one of her favourite saints, so he makes his appearance on this cake. The words read "S. Jean-Marie Vianney, priez pour nous". Many happy returns of the day!

St Mark and the Lion



For Mark Lewin’s reception into the Church I made this cake with his patron saint on it: St Mark the Evangelist accompanied by the Winged Lion of St Mark. The books round the base are the ones Mark read on his “book journey” to the faith. The words round the figures read: “Eratis sicut oves errantes sed conversi estis nunc ad Pastorem”, a quotation from the Epistle of the day of his reception which translates as: “You were as sheep going astray but now you are converted to the Shepherd” (2 Peter 21-25) Co-incidentally it was also Mark’s birthday on the day of his baptism, so there is a Many Happy Returns of the Day message in Latin on the cake board. Congratulations, Mark!
