Counting down this last week before half term and a week off 💗 So excited but lots of caking to get done before we get some R&R next week so it’s going to be a busy week !

We’re looking forward to Valentine’s Day but for a different reason to most as we celebrate my (little?) boy’s 11th birthday that day - can’t wait 🥰 In the meantime, because we’re in the mood for love this week, here are my strawberry marshmallows, pretty in pink and the perfect gift for a special one xo

So this week has been a bit of a challenge with a faulty oven so my baking schedule has been a bit stunted!! Instead I’ve been working on my little boys’ party cake (one of the details is on my Stories today - can you guess the theme? Hint: You need to have kids into gaming!!) 🎮 
So these fortune cookies are a throwback to last year and to celebrate Chinese New Year which I know was Tuesday but this week has been a time vortex! They were such fun to make and you can put your own little wishes for your friends and family inside them and make them super special 💗 The recipe is in the archives on my blog if you fancy making them for fun!

I really love these little cake popsicles as an alternative for cupcakes! My little boy calls them *mini magnum cakes* because they’re the same size and shape 💗 Inside they are cake and buttercream and then they’re covered with fondant like a mini birthday cake for everyone at the party. I’m having fun playing with the designs but these were the first ones I made since unicorns are so adorable and always make me smile ✨✨ Happy Friday, everyone xo

Last week I was treated to a wonderful morning tea at @peggyporschenofficial in Belgravia. We had the Valentine’s La Vie En Rose cupcake which was delicious salted caramel! The Valentine’s displays there are so pretty and inspired me to make these little thank you vanilla cookies for my friends ✨ I handpainted them and the little flowers were made from fondant 💗

Too Christmassy? Nothing like gingerbread biscuits to make you feel cozy when it’s so cold outside ❄️ I’m not a royal icing piper that’s for sure, but it was strangely therapeutic decorating these biscuits! Stay warm, everyone 💗

This is one of my favourite birthday cakes that I’ve made. Having boys, I always love the chance to make girly cakes for other people and I always love a Harry Potter cake! The cake features a handmade sugar Hermione and then the Sorting Hat and her wand were made from modelling chocolate and were all so much fun to make. Inside is a lemon cake with lemon curd and lemon buttercream. I’m always very happy to hand over the birthday cakes I make to customers but this one I wish I’d been able to keep! ✨✨
