Ladies and gentlemen, my greatest accomplishment to date: a three tiered Andrew Lloyd Webber rock musical extravaganza in chocolate, lemon and vanilla! My contribution to the School Of Rock’s West End Bake Off entry. I called it “Mount Rock” and it sold to the lovely people at Aladdin, The Musical… all that sugar helped get them … More MOUNT ROCK
Happy opening night to all at Aladdin The Musical! I was fortunate enough to sit in on the open dress for this show and – full disclosure – I cried at the carpet. It was magical! Aladdin has ALL the colour and ALL the glitter and ALL the Disney magic. The score is sublime, the costumes … More ALADDIN CUPCAKES
It was my very great honour to do another round of cupcakes for Billy Elliot, this time for their final performance in the West End. Hope the whole Billy family had a wonderful night! Here they are…
It’s time for some more Mamma Mia birthday cupcakes! This time for the lovely and ever-talented Jo, who plays Rosie in the show. She has some costume inspired cupcakes with red ABBA lapels, jewelled belts, her wedding outfit, ‘microphone’ hairbrushes, and some blingy lettering. Hope you had a great birthday Jo! X
So I know I always go on about how much fun I’ve had making bespoke cupcakes, but these really were… titillating. When asked to make cupcakes for the opening night of Mrs. Henderson Presents, my first question was, “How raunchy are we talking?” Full. Out.

In my opinion nothing beats fresh flowers on a wedding cake! This lemon layer cake sat atop a tower of vanilla and maple flavoured cupcakes. Congrats J&G! x
Kicking off 2016 with some cricket-themed birthday cupcakes! I’d intended to use a very restrained palette … but I guess this is what happens when someone gives me free reign over the colours! Also, as a January baby myself I always crave some fresh, unChristmassy colours for my cake. Just no red or green or gold! These were such … More FIRST BIRTHDAY CUPCAKES OF THE YEAR
Just when I think I’m done with festive fondant toppers.. there’s more! A request for a Hanukkah Harry clad in red and sporting a shtreimel. A snowman, a dreidel, and Hanukkah candles. This was my first foray into full-sized cake toppers and it was a joy! I’m used to working on a microscopic scale, what a … More HAPPY HANUKKAH!
Christmas baking is the best kind of baking! I love playing some carols in the background and letting the house fill with the smell of cinnamon and nutmeg. Anyone who’s asked for Christmas cupcakes this year has gotten my response, ‘how do you feel about eggnog?’. Those eggnog cupcakes with their spices and their brandy-spiked buttercream … More MERRY CHRISTMAS!
