13th Birthday Giant Cupcakes

After attempting my other giant cupcakes i was finally happy enough to do my giant cupcake. She asked it to be in the theme of stars and hearts. She wanted it pink and purple. Just generally really girly.
I did the giant cupcake which they asked for then for it would look good with normal cupcakes and little cupcakes around the edges to add a bit of extra to the cake. 
They were really pleased with the cake and have spread the word and got me business since. 

Jubilee Cupcakes

Someone at worked asked me to make me some cupcakes so they could enter them into a cake competition at his work (BnQ). He entered my cakes and came first.

Second Attempt at a Giant Cupcake

 
For my second attempt i made a joint giant cupcake. The top of the cake is girly with butterflies and glitter. The bottom half is for a Hartlepool football supporter. 
Don't really think the two themes go together, but this is what the customer asked for. 

Spiderman Cake

Making spiderman and the writing onto of the cake tin so i know it fits.

The finshed cake

A girl i work for son's birthday was coming up so she asked me to make him a spiderman cake. When i delivered it he didn't believe that i hadn't bought it from a shop.

First Attempt at a Giant Cupcake

This is my first attempt of a giant cupcake. A neighbour asked me to make one for his daughters birthday, her birthday was three months away so this gave me plenty of time to practise. It was one of my friends at uni's birthday so thought id make for a giant cupcake to practise. This isn't perfect but i learnt what i did wrong with plenty of times to get better.

Vanilla and Flake Cupcakes

These are vanilla flavoured cupcakes with a flake topping.

Penguin Cake

These are the penguins ready to go on top of the cake

My best friend and his girlfriend went away travelling and while they were away it was Helen's birthday. As they were in South America they wasn't anywhere to get her a birthday present or cake. So in the emails he asked me to make her a cake for them returning. 

He only left me a day to do this cake but her favourite animal are penguins so we agreed this would be a great design for a cake, if i had more time i would have done this cake a lot better and detailed.  
He surprised Helen with it in a restaurant they used to work in and shared it round, I got a lot of good feed back from this cake. 

m&m's cake

For my second cake it was another friends birthday, when i used to work at spar me and my friend Ben used to have m&m's Friday. So for his birthday i made him an m&m's cake. The cake itself had m&m's in it.

My First Big Cake

This was my first attempt at a big cake, really impressed with the way the cake turned out

This was the mould for martin

This is martin on the sofa playing the Xbox

This was the full cake, there are many improvement needed but don't think its bad at all for a first attempt and the size of it.

This was martin receiving his cake. As you can see he was really pleased with it.

My best friends birthday was approaching and in the past i always bought him a birthday cake, he doesn't drink so prefers to go out for a meal with all his friends. So what better way than to embarrass him than with a cake. 

Rather than buying one i thought I'd give it a go at making my own, he has always sported me in what i did so i though if it wasn't great he wouldn't mind because he would no I've tried.

At the time he was playing a game called dead island, it was where you had to run around a island killing loads of zombies. I thought this would be a perfect theme for a cake. I decided to make a 2 layer cake. The bottom layer was him sitting on the sofa, topless ( like he always plays the Xbox ) then the top layer would be the game. 

The icing ripped in places and I found it hard to keep the figures standing up but from this i learnt my flaws and have since then improved my cakes a lot.
He was over joyed with the cake. 

Mother's Day Coffee Cupcakes

Coffee Butter Icing

For mother's day i decided to make my mam coffee Cupcakes, she loves coffee cakes and nobody else does, so she never gets a chance to have coffee cake. I decided what better time than mother's day to make her cakes.

My best friend went travelling for a month in South America, this was the longest time that we had been apart, we emailed everyday. While he was away there was a limited food range he liked with being a vegetarian and a fussy eater, in one email he mentioned how he would kill for my cupcakes and a pizza express pizza waiting for him at the airport. As i was picking him up i granted his wishes.

New Born Babies

My friends sister had a little boy recently. As a present for her sister she asked me to make some cakes. They come from a very large family and were expecting a lot of visters at the hospital.

So my friend took them to the hospital, everyone was really pleased as it took away the taste of the hospital food.

Cheer Up Cupcakes

I made these cupcakes as a present for my friend and her mother as i little cheer up present through a tough time.

They really enjoyed them and have gave me plenty of business since.
