The cake I made on my "Back to Basics" course at Confection Perfection
Wowsers was the date of my last post really 14th August...? How time flies when you're busy making cakes! I've fallen off of the blog wagon big time but am going to try to keep it more up to date...

Since I last blogged I've done a cake decorating course and have temporarily put the Hummingbird project on hold to practice making celebration cakes and cupcakes.


So - the blogs that follow show a few examples of what I've been up to!
