Sometimes when I have a flash of inspiration, I find the best thing to do is to sketch something rough in a little notebook that I carry around with me, then properly sketch out a design when I get home. I like to try and combine several designs on one page to give an idea of what they would look like on a bakery shelf, display or a dessert table and if there is a particularly intricate piece of decoration, I like to draw that out as well.
I also like to annotate my designs, as I always forget what flavours I had thought of or what colours I was imagining when I come back to look at them, and in some strange way I think my spidery arrows and writing add to the charm of the designs!
I hope you enjoy looking at my designs for cakes past, present and future.
I'm working my way through my cupcake menu at the moment, and i'm planning on designing my own menu with all of my favourite tried and tested flavours with illustrations of each cupcake, so watch this space as it all comes together!
