These are no trick; definitely a treat

Halowe'en cupcakes made for babypuddleduck's ballet class hallowe'en party. Shame it was cancelled when we got there!



Still they were fun to make and a good trial run for making more for nursery on Wednesday.

I'm doing ghosts then too -  here they are waiting for faces.




Brocton Hall Wedding Show

Today my cakes will be making an appearance at the Wedding Show at Brocton Hall Golf Club in Staffordshire: http://www.broctonhall.com/the-wedding-show.html



They will be used on vintage china specialist High Tea Hire, a wonderful collection of vintage tea sets, plates, cake stands, teapots, sugar bowls and glassware.

We took some nicer photos, this is just one off the phone so will update later with more images.

Christmas Baking

This blog used to have a separate gallery page, but now I'm using Pinterest as my gallery I have moved the images here.

This is the collection of festive baking goodies.

If you've been directed here from Pinterest, please leave a comment to say hi and if you want to see the gallery it is at www.pinterest.com/mummypuddleduck/mummypuddleduck-cakes.










Pinterest Gallery Update





This is a collection of images that used to be on the 'Cookies and Biscuits' page of this blog.

I am now using Pinterest as my gallery but don't want to lose these images off the blog so here they are in their own post.

If you're visiting from Pinterest, please leave a comment to say hello. You can visit the Pinterest gallery at www.pinterest.com/mummypuddleduck/mummypuddleduck-cakes.


Blasts from the past

I'm moving some of my images here, to a blog post, so that I can update the pages.  These are all large celebration cakes.

The images are linked from Pinterest so I still want them on the blog but not on a page all to themselves.

If you've found this site via Pinterest, please leave a comment to say hello.

New lighting equipment

My problem has always been that I can bake and decorate the cakes, but I let the side down at the end with the photography.

My pictures never seem to do the cakes justice and are inconsistent and amateur.

Hopefully that is a thing of the past as we have invested in some professional photographer's lights. Here are the results. The photo booth is coming at the weekend so they'll look even better then.
