I'm so excited..this is my first ever blog!

www.sarahsbakery.co.uk








Please forgive me if this first blog isn't all that exciting! I just had to start by sharing with you a cake I made for my friend Rebekah's son Oliver. I knew I was making him a cake, but when he said he wanted a west highland terrier on top, I did feel a slight panic rising! However, as is the case with all my projects, I threw myself into it. I had some advice from a Flickr friend about how to do it and several hours later.....ta, dah!! Oliver was very happy with his cake, as was Rebekah, so much so that at Oliver's party she broke with tradition and didn't give any of the children a piece of cake as she wanted show it to the rest of her family! What a compliment. It looks a bit strange perched on top of the cake, but I iced a small cake board separately so that Oliver could take it off and keep it for a while.




Anyway, the idea of having a blog is to share with you what is happening at Sarah's Bakery - I will be working on some lovely projects for wedding cakes, cupcakes and special birthdays in the coming months, and you will have the opportunity through this blog to see behind the scenes. ( I hope this is a good idea!) I will also be sharing with you some tips on how to make the perfect cake and decorations if you are planning on having a go at making a cake yourself. So watch this space.....I'm off to watch Star Trek now!





Don't forget, if you live in Yorkshire and are planning a special occasion, you can have a free design consultation with me..I'm sure I can design and make you a cake that will have your guests talking for weeks! See my website for contact details.
