Would anyone enjoy a cake picture thread, for boasting?!

I've made a couple recently that I want to show off to people... We could all go 'ooooh' at each other's efforts!

Chocolate fudge cake and a valentines lemon cake!

I love making cakes!

The Team Jessie one was for Race for Life - my niece has survived a usually fatal cancer.

Aw fab lougle.

This mine I made yesterday or London marathon runner.

Thanks nannycook! I used to enter competitions about 15 years ago but the children's categories are a whole other kettle of fish! I was amazed to be placed at all at this one but I'm more inclined to do more now! You should give it a go!

Eden, nearly did, theres a local one here on Sunday but I run out of time to apply, its based on Star wars, and I was asked to do a cake off but so scared I turned it down, you had to create a design and do it in front of an audience, no thank you!!

This one I just finished tonight.

Very neat! It looks lovely!

Love that wedding cake nannycook, beautiful design.
I haven't made a cake for about a month now, getting withdrawal symptoms!

Thanks Eden.lizzie, its a hen party cake for tonight in Cardiff. This is the brides favourite colour apparently.

This weekend's cake for dps bday, Oscar the grouch!

This weekend's cake for dps bday, Oscar the grouch!

Not the best Rapunzel cake, but my DD's loved it for their 5th and 7th birthday party. Plus a baptism cake with ruffles on to match the baby's gown.

Some brilliant cakes on here

This is one I made for cake club this week. Sorry if someone has already posted one similar

noroom did you use a spray for the silver bit of the dress? I used a spray for the bin on the grouch cake but had to use loads! Bloody expensive at nearly £5 a can!

Yum yum Rufus that's maltesers on the cake yes?!!

Yes I did but it didn't take much of the spray. I think the photo makes it look far more silvery than it was in RL. It is the same sugar paste as the rest of the dress but with a bit of sparkle spray.

I used two cans, but I was covering a large surface I guess, it's white roll out icing and when I realised it wasn't going to cover well with the spray I mixed a tiny bit of black wiltons paste colouring mixed with water to make a light grey and painted it and then sprayed it again and again and again..

It's the first time I've made a doll cake and I know all of the things that I would change for next time to get a much better shape and more elegant dress. I was too tired to do it with finesse this time having survived 3 out of four children having chickenpox over Easter and trying to prepare for moving (into a smaller) house in six weeks time. The girls loved it though.

What brand of spray?

Just Dr oetker as it was my local shop had, next time I will go to the baking shop in town and but one they recommend. The doll cake is awesome, my mum made me one like that when I was little :)

I use Dr Oerker too as it is cheap. I think that I would spray it on grey sugar paste if I wanted a silver effect. It does seem to turn any shade of purple particularly silvery though!

Why have I only just found this! Here's my contribution. I could go on for days with pictures, but I won't!

Wow amazing r2d2, I did r2d2 for ds2 one year, it wasn't that good though.

Tbh I don't have the patience for detail etc so I tend to rush, I need to learn to take my time!

I looked at grey roll out icing but the only one I found was too dark. Though maybe it would look lighter when sprayed?

Next up is a minecraft cake for ds2, I need to go buy loads of greens, browns and Grey's and cut into teeny tiny squares... And make some minecraft characters out of sugar paste.

The silver is edible paint. I used white icing and painted it on. Much cheaper and a little pot goes a long, long way.
