Maltesers Cake


Made in 2015. The cake is a vanilla sponge topped with a dark chocolate ganache and circled by chocolate fingers. Maltesers then cover the cake starting with being poured from the packet (which gives the impression of floating in mid-air), filling the top of the cake and then overflowing down the side.

Pig Cake


Made in 2014. The cake is a milk chocolate cake surrounded by chocolate fingers to represent the fence/sides of the swimming pool. On top is a dark chocolate ganache, which is roughly spread to show the ripples in the mud. The 3 pigs are made out of fondant icing: one is floating in the mud with only parts of him exposed; the second is in a rubber ring and sunning himself with a sun reflector; the last has just dived down into the mud so only his bum and tail can be seen. A ladder was also made using chocolate fingers and ganache, the ganache reflecting the mud where the pigs would get in and out of the pool.
