Mr Baker:

Rob Baker-Gall is the face behind Mr Baker’s Cakes and Mr Baker’s Cakes: The Blog.

A long-time passionate baker (it’s in his name after all), it was only after being asked to make a birthday cake for a friend’s daughter back in 2014 that Rob caught the bug for cake decorating and it is safe to say he was hooked.

Five years on, Rob has become well-known in the cake world for his fun-packed sculpted cakes and his regular online content creation, with multiple appearances in both print media and on television, and he loves that his passion for all-things-sugar is able to bring joy to so many.

Here at Mr Baker’s Cakes: The Blog – one of the UK’s top-rated baking and cake decorating blogs and the home of the weekly online magazine, Something Sweet – his blend of topical articles and posts, recipes, tutorials and interviews with some of the most recognisable faces in cake have made Rob’s blog an essential resource for any cake artist and he is passionate about sharing and celebrating the incredible talents out there in the world of cake.

Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to subscribe before you go…

To those asking about the lion cake I shared last To those asking about the lion cake I shared last week... My cowardly lion was created for the @thecakeshows in November 2019, as part of an entry into their internationally renowned competitions. Along with my @sugar_chronicles buddies, we created a collaboration display celebrating L. Frank Baum’s Wizard of Oz, with each member crafting one of the iconic characters and other key props and details from both the book and the movie. On the morning of the show, these were then slotted together to create the final scene. My lion was moulded and carved from rice cereal and marshmallow to keep the weight down - it would have been so much easier to carve real cake - before being covered in white sugarpaste, which was moulded and textured by hand and then airbrushed with liquid food colouring to bring the piece to life. We were thrilled with the fantastic response to our collaboration and were overjoyed to scoop not only a gold award, but also first place in the competition. #lioncake #sleepinglion #wizardofoz #wizardofozcake #cowardlylion #cowardlylioncake @wizardofozfilm #cakecompetition #competitioncake #goldaward #firstplace #bestinclass #cakeinternational
I’ve been meaning to pick up this wee beauty eve I’ve been meaning to pick up this wee beauty ever since it was published back in June, so when I saw it was reduced to only £9.00 on Amazon last week, I had to snap it up! Unbelievably, not only did @theboywhobakes devise every single recipe to be baked in one standard 9”x13” baking tin, he even shot all of the stunning images himself too! It really is a beaut and I can’t wait to get stuck into it... 😊 #onetinbakes #theboywhobakes #notanad #notanadjustafan #baking #recipebook #newrecipebook

It’s Sunday and time for a brand new video! 🙌 It’s Sunday and time for a brand new video! 🙌🏼 After having them sat on a shelf, gathering dust for an absolutely shameful amount of time now, in this week's video, 'Getting to Grips with... Embossing on Cakes!' I'm finally getting stuck in to all of the cake embossing kits that I have been sent or gifted over the last 12-18 months. I'm sure that many of you will have been using these fabulous products on your cakes for a while now, and I know that I have definitely seen some stunning examples of how they can be used to create some gorgeous cakes, but are they really as easy to use as they look? Find out in the latest video from the Mr Baker’s Cakes kitchen - head to the link in my bio... #embossing #embossed #embossedcake #sweetstamp #sugarpress #funfonts #cakedecorating #sugarcraft #cakedecoratingvideos #new #newvideo
