I’ve just spent a very enjoyable day at the Squires sugarcraft exhibition in Farnham. It made such a nice change to be on the other side of the fence…. free to look around and even sit down for a coffee and chat with old friends – the height of luxury!!
As always there were cakes that caught my eye:
On the table of honour I really loved the model of a little Japanese girl; her face was exquisite and the details quite superb.
Helen Penman’s contribution also attracted me as I always like cakes that are different – I loved the movement and flow of the decoration she has incorporated here.
I always like the miniature cake competition section and this year was no exception…… My daughter has recently created an African mood board for her GCSE art coursework so I was instantly drawn to the African inspired cake, the patterns and colours were cleverly put together.
I also enjoyed studying the little crowned top cake, pink and gold are always a good combination, I think.
I hope you find these cakes inspiring too

Hello, I was looking at your blog about spending a day at Squires and came across the Helen penman cake, I can’t take credit for the cake itself! but I was delighted to see the cake as I made the decoration for the divider.
Helen is a superb cake maker and it was great working with her.

I very much admired your dividers at Squires and have just been looking at your website, your work is beautiful.

Hello Lindy and thank you for your kind comment about my work.
I’m completely hooked on creating cake decorations! I love every thing about it.
I have just finished making a “Marie Antoinette” inspired cake crown for an American cake maker………great fun to do.
