| Sugar is
an amazingly versatile substance, and if you would like a little
more idea of what it is possible to achieve using it, here is just
a small sample of the many cakes and other items I have been asked
to make.
Although it may be difficult to
believe, all of the items on this page really are edible! Just

In Japan I
was often commissioned to make really gorgeous sugar items for
exhibitions, particularly when they were to be used on the poster advertising
the exhibition, and they needed to catch people's eye.
Here you can see a few examples, such as a copy of a throne on
display in the Palais de Versailles, and a life-size replica of a
gold and jewel-encrusted Fabergé egg! |

| It is
always a great honour to be asked to make cakes for members of the
Royal Family, and I am lucky enough to have had the opportunity in
both England and Japan, and have met Kiko Sama (shown here
admiring one of my cakes) at the Imada School in Tokyo. |

| Japanese
people are fascinated by European history and reproducing part
of the dinner service used by Madame Du Barry was very enjoyable,
because it was such a beautiful piece of work.
The tiara was commissioned as
part of a four-page spread for Graceful Wedding Magazine.

Japan also
offered me the opportunity of meeting many celebrities. Designing
the cakes for these two famous brothers (shown below) meant
appearing on television with Taka no Hana's wife-to-be. I showed her how the
cake was to be decorated and taught her how to make small flowers.

Another example was presenting the newly appointed minister for
education and his wife with a specially designed congratulations
cake. |
