'Flo' the Fairy

I am some proud of myself, this is 'Flo' the fairy which I made at a local Cake decorating workshop, she is made from sugarpaste with pipe cleaners for her arms and legs. For a 1st attempt I dont think I done bad! She would look lovely on top of a little girls Birthday cake, I cant wait to make some more, watch this space!

Hi guys, here I am again at last........ its been a while. I was so busy before Christmas making bears and baking cakes along with Christmas shopping that I decided to have some time off, well sort of! I thought it would be a good idea for hubby to decorate the bear room for me, and I promised to sort through all my craft supplies and make it nice and tidy? well I am nearly there, but I have a dilemma, below are 2 old bears I acquired back last year and I really don't know where to put them, you cant really appreciate them properly when they are on the floor and it doesn't seem right to put them on top of the wardrobe, hubby says I have to re home them.....what is a girl to do?

Beaulieu Bear Festival

I had a great day in the sunshine at Beaulieu Bear Festival on Sunday, the whole village went Bear Crazy! I had a good day and re homed some of my new bears, and had a good chat with friends old and new. Julie and Amanda from Bear it in Mind made a super job of organising this event again, now in its 3rd year, there were lots of bear events going on at the school playing field, bear making demonstrations and the artist bears in the village hall which is where I spent most of the day.
' Cake Selection'


'Golly couple'

This was my entry into the artist bears competition, we were all given a basket and had to use our imagination and make a bear to include the basket in some way, there were lots of really good ideas, Anita from Puzzle Bears won 1st place with a dog in the basket, and Elanor from Shantock Bears came 2nd with a hot air balloon and the bear in the basket.


The Pink Teddy Bear Tea Party
Sunday 4th July between 3-5pm in the village hall in Beaulieu there will be a Pink Teddy Bear Tea Party in aid of breast cancer care, I have donated Fairy Cake above as one of the prizes for the draw and will be baking some cupcakes to take as well, please come along if you are in the area, more details please contact 01590 612097 it should be a good afternoon.

Teeny Bears Wedding Cupcakes

Yum, Yum I am really pleased with these and they tasted good too! I made this cake and cupcakes especially to take photographs of my new Wedding Cupcake Bears, which you can see below.

I thought this would make an ideal present for the 'bridesmaids' and can be made to match your colour schemes.

Bride & Groom cupcakes, they make ideal cake toppers and can be made to match your wedding cake. I really enjoyed decorating these ones, and have lots more ideas, watch this space!
