Sex and the City Cake

Thats a lot of effort/skill. The attention to detail of the cream on the inside of the heel is special. Great cake.

Here's one my mother made for my niece's 4th birthday...It's tinkerbells house..

That's awesome - love the curly wurly path

Just attempted my first pie, a Mississippi mud pie

Cripes the cakes just get better and better Spadina& Dream C they are brill!

That mississippi mud pie looks yum too another one I must try.

Almost ashamed to put any cake pics on here now but here's a chocolate orange cake I made for family BBQ. Downside of it was that I had to use tinned segments for the top which aren't always the nicest, soaked them in lemon juice, orange juice and icing sugar for a while first to they would be ok to be left for a while on the cake without drying out.

Just love chocolate ganache it's so nummy and easy to do, about the only icing I can manage without messing it up.

Apart from a scrummy looking cake, thats a great photo!

Wow! Pretty cake DreamC, where/how did you learn to make such awesome creations?

Its got to be carrot cake, Not always the sexiest of cakes or glamorous. But when made right, oh it could melt stone! I can resist everything on a dessert menu except carrot cake! Has to be homemade style bit rough around the edged, where you can see the nuts and raisons and shredded carrot, not this over processed carrot cake flavour sponge.

like below...the first pic is my idea of heaven in a plate....ooh must go over the weight watchers thread now and rant about how i want carrot cake.

These are two cakes that i made recently. The first is a cake that i was just trying out as i'd seem something similar on the Internet and wanted to give it a try. It was a champagne bottle in a bucket. The entire cake is edible. The cake is a chocolate biscuit cake and the bottle is made from rice crispie treats.

The second cake is a madeira cake with raspberry jam and butter cream and then some cupcakes around the sides. I made it for a BBQ that my sister was having for the Dublin Simon Community.

just starting at this cake business as a hobby just loving it so im know im not up to most of your standard but said id post it up to see what ye think

Love the outie belly-button

Question for DreamC:

Did you make Ray Foley's 'Take Me Out' Birthday Cake? It looks very like your handy work!

You can see it here:

Just tripped over this thread now, some great cakes on here!! Here's a few that I've done in the past.

p.s. how do you get the pics to show up in the post??

Thanks for the nice comments faith. In answer to your question I would mostly colour the icing & then shape it, although on the plumber cake the floor tiles were painted.

They're amazing guym!

Quick question: When you're using several different colours in the icing, say like in the plumber in the last picture above, do you paint the colour on when the icing is on, or do you colour it first and then shape it and everything? I can't even imagine how you do some of it!

Anyone going to this? http://www.ichf.co.uk/cake/
Thinking of heading over and back on Saturday
