20th August 2010 – I love cakes and today I treated myself and my colleagues to a nice box selection of pastries and cup cakes from my local cupcakery.  I was drawn to them on the way to work through the bakery window that tempts me every time I walk past because they look so sweet and delicious.

While I was in there I noticed an amazingly designed wedding cake which was truly a baked piece of art and now I seemed to have grown quite a fondness for fondant design!

Cakes and cupcakes seem to be more popular than ever at the moment and with some very talented bakers out there, there is always some brightly coloured sponge masterpiece on display in a shop window. It seems a shame to have to eat them after all the effort that was put into them. So take a gander at some of these creative cake designs and you definitely can… have your cake and eat it!

    I saw the book cake in person. It was made by Charm City Cakes for Bound to Stay Bound’s 50th birthday at the American Librarian Association conference in DC. It tasted better than it looks. I got the first slice and the first glass of champagne that accompanied and it was amazing.
