My Made from Scratch

12/06/2026

Once upon a time about 6 years ago I couldn't use fondant at all, and I didn't really mind because I don't like it. I stuck to buttercream all the time, but customers sometimes want Fondant.
Fast forward to trying on Dummies courtesy of YouTube = a complete disaster, and it took about 2 days of swearing and ripping fondant to make a monstrosity.
Fast forward with practice, successfully covered a cake eventually, but it was still a chore and took all day!
Then I found Panelling last year and practised when I could.
Today I have covered 3 dummy cakes in less than an hour, pretty chuffed if I say so myself.

Part 2 coming when Flowers ( part of a course project) are assembled x

I have had some time to myself and my family. Now things are on a more even keel. I will be baking again.
I am not a shop and make everything to order if there is something you would like, just message or email me.
For those who don't know, I have only been back home to the North East for 8 months, and starting all over again.
Think old teatime favourites, slices, traybakes, cakes etc.

🐥🐣🐥🐣After a good few messages, I thought I'd better say sorry for not posting about Easter cakes and biscuits.
I only have Thursday and Friday free to bake, and I had orders placed earlier this year. I work at home on my own, and I can only do so much. That's why I didn't post. I don't like saying no to people.
The only things likely to be left over from a batch are 3-4 of what I am making, but until Friday night/Saturday morning, I won't know for sure.
I will put a post up on one of those days 🙂

Finishing off a 1st Birthday cake for tomorrow being delivered later today,
Peter Rabbit theme, beautiful pale Blue base, picket fence and edible icing images to finish off.
I just found my comfortable 'Novelty' as normally I steer clear of them. This has been enjoyable and I can't quite believe I said that myself😆.
