Roses for Jackie

I made this cake for my best friend. She turned forty a couple of weeks ago. I happen to be a little younger, I haven't reached that milestone yet, much to her disappointment, lol.

Anyway I made the cake, filled it with jam and butter icing, then covered it with marzipan ... then along came my mum to do the icing (I don't do that bit ... it scares me frankly). Then we add the roses (that my mum made a few weeks before, to give them time to dry) and the lettering. Some piped icing in red around the base of the cake and a bow in each corner made from the same ribbon that is around the cake base.And there we go ... one 40th birthday cake ... gorgeous.

Happy crafting.

Sassy Sugarcraft Sandals

I thought you might like to see my Mum's sugarcraft sandals that inspired my sandal and shoe templates. Aren't they fantastic!

Made with red icing using templates and moulds and using a couple of gems from my stash box. They are on foam blocks to help support them while they dry, then they will free stand. She claims to be an amateur ... what do you think?

I'll see if I can get some photo's of her flowers, because they are simply amazing and I've been working on my sandals, can't wait to show you all.

Have a great day.
