Two pictures of a recent cake order for a lovely pregnant lady for her child's birthday. She ordered 25 cakes - enough for all the children in the class at nursery - and, I have to say I was pretty pleased with the way they look! The first one is a bit blurry which is because I took these photos at around 6am after making and decorating them and I really can't focus at that time in the morning.

I always wake up at around 5am on 'market stall morning' and it takes me at least an hour to get into gear - I draw a plan of how I'm going to decorate the cakes the night before as I know I won't be able to think in the morning - and I can't even drink a cup of tea for about the first half an hour. (this is momentous, or momentus can't spell, news as tea is usually the very first thing I think about when I wake up).

The dad was sent to pick up the cakes and there is always something very endearing about men carrying cupcakes. They do it in a manner which aims to suggest that they are still all man and could knock down a tree or wrestle a bear with their teeth should the need arise, they just happen to be carrying cupcakes..
