Creating fabulous cakes is now easier than ever.
The Salon Glacé range of hand-made Cake Decorations are now available to buy online.
Our stunning designs can turn a plain iced cake into a show stopping centrepiece in moments, and many are now complete with their own co-ordinating ribbons.
So, the only difficulty you're likely to come across, will be deciding
which one to choose!
Happy New Year 2010
Err sorry....what diet?
Many of you know us for our distinctive cake decorations. But what you won't know is that we have been making cakes, (mostly gâteaux) for family and friends for over 20 years.
The one pictured above is by far the favourite. The first time I made it was for my niece's 1st birthday. As she has just turned 18, I think we can say it has stood the test of time.
Over the following year I hope to add some new features to this website, including how to make simple gâteaux that require minimum effort. Trust me there's even one that doesn't involve turning on the oven!
I will continue to add new designs when time and inspiration allow.

Cake Decorating supplies Directory/Glossary
We have lost track of the number of times that we have been contacted by customers in a state of sheer panic, because they have promised to make a cake for a friend or relative and have forgotten or left it too late to get a vital item, such as the cake board.
Because of this we are in the process of compiling a Glossary/Directory of Basic- (Not Specialist) Cake Decorating Supplies such as boards, colours and icings which can be found on most local high streets. Find out more Cake Decorating Directory/Glossary Of course if you are the super efficient organised type you will find all manner of cake decorating paraphernalia- including all specialist products by visiting our Suppliers page.

Sèvres Cake Decoration
(Pictured above)
This has got to be the prettiest gift cake ever and unbelievably easy to achieve.
Bake or buy one small (4"-6"/15cm) cake. Cover with sugarpaste- if you're a novice cake decorator go for a round cake, they're so much easier to cover.
Pop the the Salon Glacé decoration on top -in this case 'Sèvres' and finish with a co-ordinating ribbon.
For extra brownie points and to complete the look, check out your local charity shops or car boot sales for gorgeous gilded tea plates.
There really is no excuse to ever come up with anything less than fabulous again!
Sèvres single cake decoration £4.50 plus p&p.
Available in various colours.
Also available as 4 decorations £17.50 plus p&p.
Create a simple yet striking wedding cake by decorating the sides with Sèvres decorations (flat sided cakes only eg.square).
Finish the top of the cake with roses in matching shade.

Really....No Excuse!
Like we said fabulous cakes only please and if you want to add a personal greeting or message make that stand out too.
As you may have noticed 'we don't do piping'- it doesn't post well, but that needn't deter you from personalising your own cake.
Do what we've done, pick a gorgeous font and make up your own message using your computer, then get it printed on to an icing sheet.
A good tip if you're an habitual cake maker, is to print various greetings /messages on the one sheet of A4 sized paper, make sure they're not too small you want them to show. That way you save money by only getting one sheet printed and you've got them to hand when you need them.
We have been told that Tesco do something similar, so if you're not too fussed obout colours or fonts then that's a good way to go.
