Hello

My name is Susan and I live in Preston and this is the place to see my yummy cakes! I have had an interest in baking since I was a child as you can see from the photo:

But more recently I have finally made the move into cake making and decorating. I get satisfaction from seeing the final product. You will be able to read about my progression on this blog as well as view the most recent pictures of my cakes. One day I hope to go full time professional but right now I am starting out making cakes for friends and family. If you are interested in me making a cake for you, please feel free to get in touch. My email address is: eatcakesbysusan@gmail.com or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/eatcakesbysusan

New York Wedding

I was asked to make a Wedding cake for a sister of one of my good friends. As a couple they love New York and decided to spend their big day over there with close family and friends. As a result they decided to have a party back in England for those that could not make it to America. They chose a New York theme including an American Police car.

They chose to use the unmistakable logo on their cupcakes and have the variation that was used on their invites with both their names on it for the cake.

This was a simple but effective design which really stands out when you see all the cupcakes together! They chose a mix of chocolate and vanilla flavours for the cupcakes with vanilla sponge and raspberry jam for the cake.

I enjoyed making these cakes, not just because it was for a friend but because it was fun to do. I haven't done many cupcakes over the years but I would certainly love to do something like this again.

Cupcakes

These were some cupcakes that I made to take to work. The ones on the left are caramel with a caramel buttercream and dime bar on top. The ones on the right were rose with a rose icing. The flowers on top were left from my Royal Wedding cake (I still have some left now!)
