I made this cake as a gift for my Sister’s Boyfriend and his family.

It was a six inch fruit cake covered with white fondant. I used one of my left over puppies from my Christmas Puppy Cakes and I created a Christmas tree and decorated it with gold cachous. I made a present and covered it with red disco dust. I loved the disco dust so much, I created a red disco dust covered band and wrapped it around the bottom of the cake. I also covered the ‘Merry Christmas’ message with red disco dust!

This was my favourite cake out of all of my Christmas projects!

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas with your family and friends.

Best wishes for a fabulous 2012!

These Christmas Puppy Cakes were my main project for Christmas this year.

I learnt how to make the puppies in class at Cake Decorating Central.

The puppies were made out of fondant and they were placed on top of 4 inch fondant iced fruit cakes.

I made 10 of these cakes for friends and family and I was very happy with how they turned out!

I made these cookies to give as gifts to my work colleagues.

I based their design on some gift tags I purchased on Etsy.

I’m not entirely happy with these cookies – they were decorated in a huge rush!

This Giant Nutcracker Prince Cake was made in class at Cake Decorating Central over 5 Thursday nights.

I learnt a lot creating this cake including working with rice crispy treats and styrofoam.

I was very happy with my Giant Nutcracker Prince and it made my house look very festive

My latest cake was made in a class at Inspired by Michelle.  I have been following Michelle’s blog for a couple of years now, and was very excited when she announced that she would be teaching classes.

The class was ‘How to Make a 3D Ball Cake’ and because it is so close to Christmas, we decorated the cakes as Christmas baubles.

The cake was carved from two 7 inch square chocolate mud cakes and was layered and covered with dark chocolate ganache.

I thoroughly enjoyed this class – Michelle was a great teacher and I can’t wait to book into some more classes with her!
