someone sent me a picture of some to do for a hens night maybe some day. They are kind of rude though. Not sure I'd want to put my name to them. lol

Here are a couple of cakes I did over the weekend.

The first one is racing silks for an ex pace driver.

This weekend I have to do a heap of cupcakes for various functions, and also a 3D skull cake. Pics to come.

Also, on Thursday i have a follow up visit from council about my license. He said it was all part of the service now that I've had my license for a while. I suspect the stupid customer may have lodged a complaint. Anyway, he's coming on thursday, so the cats are going for a holiday at my friends house again.

Smash = intentionally bring a kid, cake and camera together?

Yep. Pretty much.

I am not a fan myself, but it seems to be the fashion lately.

Oh, I see, ammo for embarrassing the kid in front of family, neighbors, and dates for many years.

Yes, I suppose so.

I guess it sprung from all the funny home videos of kids going apeshit with cakes. Now people pay to have a cake made in a theme, then dress their kid up in that theme, and have someone photograph it all.

It's a wasteful way of creating a memory if you ask me, but I guess if you've got more money than sense, it's your choice.

Yesterdays efforts. I made two of these cupcake towers for a friends 21st birthday party.

The skull cake is pretty much just a skull cake. haha Not my cup of tea, but the people I made it for were pretty happy.
