Even though it was the last episode the other day it was my favourite, as there was Mich Turner from Little Venice Cake Company showing Kirstie how to do a bit of cake decorating. Nicest thing for me was the shot of one of my caketop figures atop one of LVCC's fantastic cake creations! TV stardom at last... well sort of....
Mich and her team at LVCC make the most amazing cakes, they really are superb. Mich first commissioned figures from me way back in 2002 and since then I make a handful of special figure orders for her every year. They're different from my regular caketops as they are completely made from clay, quite a bit bigger, and believe me they can take a very long time to do! The episode featuring Mich was really good as she showed Kirstie how to make some lovely mini cakes with roses on top, and some trademark candystriped ones - steady hands needed maybe, but lots of fun. I think I may have to have a go myself....
If you missed it, you can still watch it on the channel 4 website, and there is lots of info about all the things Kirstie got up to here.
But if its fantastic wedding and celebration cakes you want more of then check out the Little Venice Cake Company and prepare to be amazed!! Mich has written books too which are packed full of fantastic ideas and designs, and great instructions so you can make amazing cakes of your own! Oh and if you are interested in a cake top, don't forget me!!
