Angela wrote to us with this comment
'I've attached a photo of the recent Lions Rugby cake that I made for Jonathan Davies' and Mike Phillips homecoming do that we had for them - the two of them went to the same Secondary School. You printed the Lions logo and their pictures! '
In the photo you can see that Jonathan and Mike have been signing photos for the guests at the party.

You can buy a cake topper for your own cake here
Make your cake or buy your cake the end result is the same. You can place a sheet of icing with any photograph of your choosing with any inscription, wording or motto and make a one off unique design that has never been seen before. The photograph can be eaten, and people often have to carefully choose which bit they want to eat first! Each cake topper that you order will be tailor made to your own ideas.
So to recap, email us with a photo and we will change it to suit your requirements, by adding your text to it or by removing an unwanted article from the photograph, such as an ex partner or unsightly dustbin in the background if you so wish.
Whatever you need, we can photoshop for you.
Some people want a person adding into a scene, for example showing the birthday person stood next to their celebrity favourite on a stage or a photo of their football team badge or a photo of their favourite tree, flower, bird, pet, child, parent or Military vehicle. It's up to you to decide what works best for you.

If you don't wish to buy a cheap cake from a supermarket and wish to make your own, well here is a basic recipe....
It is always more satisfying to bake your own cake and use one of our caketoppers to produce a fantastic looking homemade cake. Well, a lot more satisfying than buying a cheaply made tiny cake from a supermarket or paying more than £50 for a cake decorator or shop to make your custom cake. Our cake toppers will make you feel really proud that you made a fantastic looking cake yourself.
A few candles, a cake board and you will make your dinner party or birthday party or fundraiser secret cake night a success.
This will make enough batter for a 12" square pan (or any rectangular pan that adds up to similar dimensions).
You can either bake in 2 halves, to reduce baking time and help stop cracking and the cake crowning, or you can bake all at once.
I'm lazy and always bake all in one go, then slice in half when it's been left to rest.
Prepare and line your cake pan.
1 lb Self Raising Flour
8oz Plain flour
1lb Caster sugar
1lb Butter or margarine (I use half of each).
8 large eggs
Vanilla essence
Finally.. Warm water added to mixture to get a dropping consistency.
Bake at 160 degrees c until sponge springs back and a cocktail stick comes out clean.
I cover the top of the cake with silicone paper, part way through the baking. It stops it browning too early and so helps stop cracking.
This is basically a Victoria sponge recipe with plain flour added (up to 50 percent extra flour). The extra flour makes the sponge firmer, which helps when you need to cut it and sandwich it back together! Because it's a little denser it also keeps well if stored correctly (up to a week, if it lasts that long :-) ).
When I remove from the oven I always press the crown back down, while it's still hot (I use a clean tea towel). Once it's cold and it's been allowed to rest you can cut any remaining crown away to level it. Then turn it over, so the bottom becomes the top of the cake.
Slice the cake in half, then sandwich it back together with raspberry seedless jam and butter cream. Cover the entire cake with butter cream and decorate with rolled fondant icing.
Now you can add one of our cake toppers
Hope this has been some help.
Good luck with the cake.

You can buy a cake topper for your own cake here
Make your cake or buy your cake the end result is the same. You can place a sheet of icing with any photograph of your choosing with any inscription, wording or motto and make a one off unique design that has never been seen before. The photograph can be eaten, and people often have to carefully choose which bit they want to eat first! Each cake topper that you order will be tailor made to your own ideas.
So to recap, email us with a photo and we will change it to suit your requirements, by adding your text to it or by removing an unwanted article from the photograph, such as an ex partner or unsightly dustbin in the background if you so wish.
Whatever you need, we can photoshop for you.
Some people want a person adding into a scene, for example showing the birthday person stood next to their celebrity favourite on a stage or a photo of their football team badge or a photo of their favourite tree, flower, bird, pet, child, parent or Military vehicle. It's up to you to decide what works best for you.

If you don't wish to buy a cheap cake from a supermarket and wish to make your own, well here is a basic recipe....
It is always more satisfying to bake your own cake and use one of our caketoppers to produce a fantastic looking homemade cake. Well, a lot more satisfying than buying a cheaply made tiny cake from a supermarket or paying more than £50 for a cake decorator or shop to make your custom cake. Our cake toppers will make you feel really proud that you made a fantastic looking cake yourself.
A few candles, a cake board and you will make your dinner party or birthday party or fundraiser secret cake night a success.
This will make enough batter for a 12" square pan (or any rectangular pan that adds up to similar dimensions).
You can either bake in 2 halves, to reduce baking time and help stop cracking and the cake crowning, or you can bake all at once.
I'm lazy and always bake all in one go, then slice in half when it's been left to rest.
Prepare and line your cake pan.
1 lb Self Raising Flour
8oz Plain flour
1lb Caster sugar
1lb Butter or margarine (I use half of each).
8 large eggs
Vanilla essence
Finally.. Warm water added to mixture to get a dropping consistency.
Bake at 160 degrees c until sponge springs back and a cocktail stick comes out clean.
I cover the top of the cake with silicone paper, part way through the baking. It stops it browning too early and so helps stop cracking.
This is basically a Victoria sponge recipe with plain flour added (up to 50 percent extra flour). The extra flour makes the sponge firmer, which helps when you need to cut it and sandwich it back together! Because it's a little denser it also keeps well if stored correctly (up to a week, if it lasts that long :-) ).
When I remove from the oven I always press the crown back down, while it's still hot (I use a clean tea towel). Once it's cold and it's been allowed to rest you can cut any remaining crown away to level it. Then turn it over, so the bottom becomes the top of the cake.
Slice the cake in half, then sandwich it back together with raspberry seedless jam and butter cream. Cover the entire cake with butter cream and decorate with rolled fondant icing.
Now you can add one of our cake toppers
Hope this has been some help.
Good luck with the cake.
