My hobbies

Cake decorating

I have made my first cake in April 1999, for Thomas' first birthday. I don't cook and don't bake cakes, so these cakes below are the only one's I've ever done. Most of them were made for Thomas' Birthdays. so I've only ever made one cake per year, until November 2005 when I took a cake to work, and suddenly got some orders.

Sugar Craft

I have started a sugar craft course in September 2003. These flowers and models were all made from flower paste (sugar paste) and were made in the order they appear, i.e. the acorn spray was my very first project made in September 2003 and the spray of pink roses were finished in July 2004. I have quite a few which I still need to add. Will try and find time.

Sugarcraft Fair in Coventry

I went to the British Sugarcraft Guild Fair in Stonham near Coventry on 24 July 2004 and was amazed at the talent and fantastic cakes. I have taken over 140 pictures of the best cakes, but I will only show the best of the best below.

       
                                                                                                                                                                                                               
       
               
         
               
         
               
               
               
               

 

Pencil Drawings

These are just a few examples of some of the pencil drawings I have made over the years. I was 14 when I accidentally discovered that I could draw. I have been doing drawings ever since but only do pencil drawings of faces. Since I got married, I haven't had as much time to devote to my drawings, as it take days to complete.
