Nurses, Roses and Stands

I've been busy making some decorations for upcoming cakes. I've never made figures before for cake toppers before but I've had an order for a cake with a Nurse topper and that's not something you can get easily in the shops so I thought before I pay a fortune for one that's I'd give making my own a go. I don't have any modelling clay here so I just used some roll out icing that I coloured and thickened up. I'm quite pleased with the results, especially for a first attempt! What do you think?

I'm going to keep practising as I'd love to be able to do wedding cake toppers! I've made lots of roses for my Valentine's cupcakes but I just wasn't happy with them so I tried a different method and I'm so much happier with them. I've got a few more to make tomorrow so I'll have enough to do my Valentine's gift boxes. Here's a quick peek at them drying out!

I've got some very exciting orders coming up and the wedding orders have started rolling in too which is fab! I have a casino/Las Vegas themed order coming up very soon that I'm so looking forward to doing. I've ordered a gorgeous new cupcake stand as well, I'm really looking forward to it arriving! It's a 7 tier mirrored stand and it's first use will be with the casino order. Here it is and it is available for hire with and without cake orders!

Right I must be off, busy day's baking to get on with in the morning!
