Mum has seen the cake and very excited to see the face of Manchester City's biggest fan when he sees it. Kiddie Cake Makers will be there to witness it too.

Clown cake shocker
The Kiddie Cake Makers first came together making a clown cake for one of their daughter's fifth birthday party.
Inspiration for the cake came from a book with novelty cakes in and the design was adapted a little, giving the clown a bright, colourful bow tie.
Loved the result!
Anyway, the same design appeared in the window of a local cake shop. The cake was made exactly as the picture in the book but smaller than the one we made - this size of ours was dictated by the size of pyrex bowl we had available!
We had been walking by this window for a few weeks, talking about going in to ask how much they charged for this cake, but not doing it.
Walking past their door together on Saturday one of us went in to ask the question while the other stayed outside with the children..... We were shocked, stunned and amazed.... they were asking £100! Had no idea children's birthday cakes could cost so much money but then I guess they do have the expenses of keeping the shop on top of making the cake.

Blooming Great Tea Party
Kids cakes went down really well this weekend. Great feedback from kids and parents. Their enjoyment always brings a big smile to the faces of the kiddie cake makers.
Extra icing and cup cakes made for Ferrydale Lodge's Blooming Great Tea Party and bazaar to raise money for Marie Currie Cancer Care today.
Football pitch in Manchester City colours to get ready for next Saturday!

Pretty flower 5 cake
Love this one. Request was a cake in the shape of a 5 with pretty flowers on. Thank goodness for flower shape cookie cutters from Lakeland!
Picture doesn't do it much justice. Looks better "in the flesh" so to speak but the pictures gives an idea.

Barbie Birthday Cake
Barbie cake
Giant cupcake tin came in useful today. This makes giant cupcakes, bobble hats and..... skirts for Barbie Dolls. Really pleased with the result. Small piping nozzle, butter icing and used cookie cutter to imprint semi circles to get the pattern an even size.
I am told there is one very happy five year old looking forward to blowing out the candles on her cake tomorrow! Happy birthday Ella!
