Little Love Cakes

The benefits of having a baking mum is the chance to have TWO birthday cakes. So after a penguin for his actual birthday, cake number two was a sleepover cake complete with each boy in his own sleeping bag and a selection of boys’ sleepover essentials!

I’ve been a bit quiet on here recently. I’d like to say I’ve been hibernating but I think I’ve just been recovering from Christmas and New Year and the littlest LLC member’s birthday. Anyway, after a few hectic cake weeks and nice (but chilly) weekend away at the British seaside I’m ready to come back ... #nothibernating #britishseaside #sunset #newyear

I’m never sure that I like cream eggs but I’d like this!

Happy New Year everyone. The ovens went back on this morning for this cute little penguin for Master LLC who will be 10 tomorrow. Inspiration taken from a penguin teddy he got for Christmas, named Flappy Waffle. Reeses peanut butter chip and milk chocolate chip Victoria sponge with luscious vanilla buttercream. #littlelovecakes #cake #penguin #peguincake #reeses #reesespeanutbutterchips #chocolatechip #happynewyear #flappywaffle

Merry Christmas to all my lovely customers. Hope you’ve been good and Father Christmas has visited you this morning.
Wishing you a fun and festive time and thank you for your business this year.

A simple but cute Christmas cake. An oldie but still one of my favourites. #littlelovecakes #cake #christmascake #gingerbreadman #redgingham #santahat @ Little Love Cakes

Wow.There’s some skills here.Stunning what you can make just by rolling bits of fondant together ...

Having a play and just baked this scrumptious egg and gluten free sponge. This one does have dairy but it could be swapped out next time to make it vegan #youdneverknow #littlelovecakes #cake #eggfree #glutenfree #sponge #freefrom #notquitevegan

I know it’s not cake but I love sharing the fun and mischief of our visit every December from Santa’s little helpers. Sally and Colin arrived on 1 December for an extended stay with us. Anyone else had little visitors to their kitchens/homes? #elves #elfontheshelf #elfmagic #elfmischief #santaslittlehelpers

Just waiting for Steve, a chicken and a horse to be added (by the customer) and this Minecraft cake was ready to help three eight year olds celebrate their birthdays. Hope you had a great time Charlie, Darcy and Max. #littlelovecakes #cake #minecraft #chocolatecake #tropicalfish #woodensigns @ Little Love Cakes

Oh Toodles. Let’s wish Creed a very happy first birthday #mickeymouseclubhouse #cake #littlelovecakes #mickeymouse #primarycolours #toodles

When you don’t like fondant but want something a bit special why not have a piñata cake for your birthday celebration? That’s what 9 year old Julia chose. And I got to use the gorgeous rainbow sprinkles from #sprinkletti #littlelovecakes #cake #buttercream #rainbowsprinles #pinatacake #mandms @ Little Love Cakes

Love cake? Love reading? How about this book cake for a birthday girl who loves Matilda? #littlelovecakes #cake #bookcake #matilda #roalddahl @ Little Love Cakes

Having a play with a rose Russian piping tip. So pretty! #littlelovecakes #cupcakes #buttercream #russianpipingtips #niftynozzles

Who sees this and thinks cake? Would be stunning with buttercream or royal icing decorating a cake. Anyone want one? #cake #cakedecorating #buttercream #royalicing #daubism

What cake would you like as a three year old who loves chocolate and the colour purple? How about this triple chocolate (chocolate sponge, chocolate buttercream and chocolate fingers) covered in lilac fondant with a fun balloon decoration on top? #littlelovecakes #cake #chocolatecake #cadburyschocolatefingers #cadbury #thecolorpurple #purple #lilac #balloons #fondantdecoration

Last week saw another Beginners Cupcake Decorating class where five fabulous ladies learnt how to pipe buttercream and create simple fondant decorations. It's lovely seeing the excitement when someone pipes their first buttercream rose. Well done everyone.Looking forward to seeing your creations.

It was an incredible sort of week in the Little Love Cakes kitchen last week! We got to make this fun Incredibles cake for Leo’s 4th birthday. It was a light chocolate sponge filled with luscious vanilla buttercream. #littlelovecakes #cake #explosioncake #theincredibles #chocolatecake #cityskyline @ Little Love Cakes
