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…

Some of you have asked, so here are some more shot Some of you have asked, so here are some more shots of my contribution to this year’s #sugarspooks collaboration. Wade the Reluctant Merman was sculpted from @vera.miklas modelling chocolate, before being covered and detailed with a combination of @renshawbaking Modelling Paste and Renshaw Extra Ready to Roll icing all coloured from white using @rainbow_dust_colours. That stunning vivid blue colour was achieved thanks to Rainbow Dust ProGel in Aqua. #sugarspooks2020 #mermaid #merman #mermaidtail #mermantail #mermancake #halloweencake #spookycakes #cakedecorating #sugarcraft #baking #homebaking #bakersofinstagram #cakedecoratorsofinstagram @renshawacademy @beautifulbizarremagazine

Introducing ‘Wade the Reluctant Merman’, my co Introducing ‘Wade the Reluctant Merman’, my contribution to this year’s legendary #SugarSpooks collaboration, the Creepy CarnEvil Circus. I know I say it every year, but I think this year’s collection might just be the best yet, so make sure you head to our dedicated website and check out all of the other incredible pieces on display: sugarspooks.com Oh, and read on to learn the story behind Wade the Reluctant Merman.... ... “Sure, we all have romanticised ideas about what it would be like to be a mermaid or a merman, but how would you feel if it actually happened to you? If you actually found yourself transformed into a merperson and it wasn’t even your choice…? “When Wade stumbled into the carnival sideshow with his friends, he was just planning on taking in the sights and having a bit of a laugh about the freaks and oddities on display. Little did he know that he had caught the eye of the corrupt and evil ringmaster, who had decided that he would provide the perfect addition to his little… collection. “Separating Wade from his friends was easy… as was convincing the resident witchdoctor to cast a little curse. Unfortunately, the transformation process is a little jarring, but it will all be over soon. “And as for the ringmaster? Well, he is rubbing his hands together in glee – the Ringling Brothers don’t have a real live merman in their collection…” #sugarspooks2020 #mermaid #merman #mermaidtail #mermantail #mermancake #halloweencake #spookycakes #cakedecorating #sugarcraft #baking #homebaking #bakersofinstagram #cakedecoratorsofinstagram @renshawacademy @rainbow_dust_colours @renshawbaking @beautifulbizarremagazine

I’ve already shared plenty of fun Halloween cakes, bakes and crafts in my latest YouTube video (which you can find at the link in my bio), but if you fancy turning your hand to something a little bit cuter, why not have a go at my ‘Trixie Treat’ cake. This absolutely adorable tutorial was created for @renshawbaking and you can find her over on their website - simply search ‘Trixie Treat’! #halloweencake #ghostcake #trickortreat #trickortreating #spookycakes #cakedecorating #sugarcraft #baking #homebaking #bakersofinstagram #cakedecoratorsofinstagram @renshawacademy @rainbow_dust_colours #caketutorial
It occurred to me that I never showed you last wee It occurred to me that I never showed you last week’s Cauldron Cake once it had dried after the final steaming. This was created LIVE over on the @dublinsugarcraft Facebook page. In just 90 minutes, we went from two freshly baked cakes (so freshly baked that they were still warm in fact), to this! I shared the full video to my own Facebook page - so head there if you fancy making a Creepy Cauldron Cake of your very own... #halloweencake #cauldroncake #witchescauldron #spookycakes #cakedecorating #sugarcraft #baking #homebaking #bakersofinstagram #cakedecoratorsofinstagram @renshawacademy #dublinsugarcraftguild
