“Hello! I’m Pennie, and I am Lady P’s Cupcakery (Don’t be fooled though, I’m not posh or a lady!) I’m a wife and mum to, two girls aged 8 and 4, and a baby boy of 18 months. I’m a hobby baker, and like a lot of mums, I fell into baking when trying to find a cake for my eldest daughter’s 6th birthday, so I had a go at some cupcakes! Whilst they tasted lovely they looked hideous! That was two years ago! That right there, was when I got SUCKED into the whole cakey universe!!!

Nobody tells you how addictive it is! There are so many things to try and improve on, too – always a new way of doing something – it certainly keeps you on your toes! But I love it!! I’m really only a cupcake maker BUT I’m slowly getting drawn into making big cakes!

I had seen lots of cake makers mainly in the USA, using some fabulous looking molds, so being nosey I asked who made them and then found that you could actually get them here in the UK too!! Heaven!! So many amazing designs to choose from, borders, swags, drops, buttons – far too many to list but I feel I need them all!! I’ve not tried the “Onlays” yet but these are next on my list to buy!!!

Marvelous Molds® are EASY to use, and are made from top quality silicone. Personally, I always lightly dust mine with a 50/50 mix of icing sugar and cornflour – first, tap out the excess and pop my fondant in, then bingo, turn out and you have a created a little masterpiece even before it goes on a cake!!!”
