Oh hi everyone! Long time no post again huh!? 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣 This post popped up on my news feed and I had to share it... I had a fondant wedding cake being collected last week, being stored at the venue ready for the next day. I've never been so worried about a cake. It couldn't easily be stored in the fridge, as the condensation as it came to room temperature could destroy the delicate fondant flowers, but this melting could happen underneath the fondant if kept out. 😭 Summer is the stuff of nightmares for us bakers, at the best of times, but last week was unreal. Luckily, the venue had cold storage, so the cake survived fine, and I had a lovely time in the sun and pool once it had been collected 😃 Any other crazy people like me that could happily sit out in 36 degree heat forever?!? I loved it 🌞

This is why so many bakers delayed or cancelled orders during this heatwave.

In just two hours at 36°C, a buttercream cake can go from perfect to melting. Now imagine that cake sitting in a hot delivery van for hours.

We’d rather delay an order than send out something we know won’t arrive looking its best. Your cake deserves better than that. ❤️

I love making first birthday cakes, they're so special, and this one was no exception 🙂 I've made this fairy before, for another baker, it was nice to make the cake for it too 😍

A tool kit birthday cake for Dad/Grandad/Rob, all names needed to be on the cake. This one travelled 2 hours, in last summer's heatwave, luckily it made it there safely 😅

I wasn't the only one to join the last year. This one was for my fellow adult gymnast friend .daine ❤️ We're still jumping around like we're in our 20's really 😜 even if our bodies punish us for a few days afterwards!

Something a bit different, a murder theme cake with matching cupcakes (possible murder weapons that the guests could choose from). One of them had jam inside, the lucky/unlucky guest was the murderer 🤣 Such a great and fun idea!

When my two world's collide 😍😍 Some of you might not know that I'm also a gymnastics coach at club, so making this was great fun! Keep your eyes peeled, a couple of other gymnastics themed ones will be coming up in the next couple of weeks (if I manage to keep the momentum going this time 😜🤣).

This one was for my lovely friend .07 's little girl, her party was at the gym. It was brilliant ❤️

This post seems to have disappeared so this is the second attempt. Sorry if that means you're seeing it twice 🤣

I've made quite a few Stitch cakes but this was the first one where I got to make him out of fondant 😍 It was great fun making this mash up with
