Hi Ann, I like the iris painted cake,( well I like a lot of your cakes) but the iris opne is it hand painted?
Love you little figures too where was thwe course you went on?
speak soon
Tanya

Hi Tanya, thank you, yes it is hand painted but I copied it from a sympathy card, I make my own sugar paste with liquid glucose, egg white and icing sugar and I think it is a better medium to paint on,
I must say I've had a look at your toppers they are like nothing I've ever seen, the're amazing.
The 2 day course was at Slattery's, in Manchester ' it's a famous pattisiery and chocolatier, Goggle it and you'll find out about the courses. great to talk to you as I run my business from home(home alone..... bit dangerous for the figure) although I tend to spend too much time in here trawling through all the lovely cakes and art
talk soon
Ann

Hi Ann, been looking at more of your cakes and they are gorgeous.
Do you think hand paited cakes are going to be popular ? Have you heard of Andrea Webster? she is also a superb cake maker and hand paints some of her cakes.
I am a floral watercolourist and topper maker as you know so painted cakes are of great interest to me but there is no way I want to paint cakes!!! is there a shortage of good material to use for such a project as you said you copied a card design for you Iris cake.
speak soon

Hi Ann, thanks for accepting my invite to be your friend... Looking forward to exchanges infos and knowledge in baking... I'm a new member and loves baking so much... this is one of my passion... take care...

Hi Ann, how are you? I started to love baking since my High School days... I do self study only, read books and do the cake for friends and family. I've done baking as a part time business when I was college. Since, I worked abroad and been very busy in my other career, I stop baking.. It's been 5 years now, and i just started to do it again as I really miss doing my passion... But need to refresh everything and try to study more and getting addicted to know more about buttercream and fondant icing.... I hope you can share some techniques and some infos in making those icing....

Thank you and your work are so amazing.... wish to do that also....

Cheers,

Joy

Your painted cake as well as your figures are gorgeous! I have often felt if I could just paint my design on that I could make a perfect cake. I must become brave and take the plunge! Thanks for the inspiration and the nice comments.

Your work is fabulous! I enjoy the details of what you do. That is probably why you are a "Professional" but let it be known, you have inspired me to continue and make more cakes! I only make cakes for my own pleasure to share with family and friends.
I wish you lived a lot closer and if you ever come to the states, please announce it! You can come to my home and make a cake or two or three or more!!!
I wish you tons of success.
