Mr Baker:

Rob Baker-Gall is the face behind Mr Baker’s Cakes – an award-winning hobby and passion project that keeps him sane alongside a very demanding full-time career as a primary school teacher.

It was only after being asked to make a birthday cake for a friend’s daughter that Rob caught the bug for cake artistry and it is safe to say he was hooked.

Four years on, Rob has become well-known for his fun-packed sculpted cakes, 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 Blog – one of the UK’s top-rated baking and caking 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 caker and he is passionate about sharing and celebrating the incredible talents out there in the world of cake.

Instagram post 2170634169913244450_1571191660 I was both delighted and honoured to be asked to demonstrate for my beloved @renshawbaking on their stand over the @thecakeshows weekend, joining the super talented ranks of artists like @emmajaynecakedesign, @jacquikelly_edibleart, @zoesfancycakes, @mollymakescakes and even more besides. . We were creating a quick, adorable snowman cake, complete with a realistic wooly hat, using the gorgeous knit effect moulds from @karen_davies_sugarcraft (which work wonderfully with the #RenshawExtra coloured sugarpastes) and topped off with a mega realistic, yet fully edible pom pom (you can find out how to make your own in my Renshaw Festive Llama Tutorial). . I rather cheekily roped in the lovely @zoesfancycakes to join me and cut out the gazillion daisy shapes needed to create the pom pom and I had an absolute ball working alongside her again! Thanks for the fabulous pictures too, Zoe! . Thanks to everyone who stopped by and had a chat. It was great to see so many new and familiar faces! xx #cakeinternational #cakeinternationalbirmingham #christmascake #snowmancake #knittingcake #woolyhatcake #renshaw #renshawbaking #teamrenshaw #sugarart #cakedecorating #cakeartist #cake #cakes #cakeart #caking #sugarcraft #instacake #cakesofinstagram #cakedecorator #sugarartist #sugarpaste #cakegram #cakesofinsta #caketrends #cakeinspo #homebake #cakegoals #cakeoftheday
Instagram post 2170244983775462425_1571191660 What with writing, filming and creating pieces for various features, I don’t always make the time to enter pieces in the Cake International competitions anymore, but when Louise Wolfenden of @alanalilycakes (and our illustrious leader at The Sugar Chronicles - an awesome team that I am super proud to be a part of) suggested entering the collaboration category at this year’s show - and a Wizard of Oz themed one at that - I was definitely in! . Twelve of our members came together to bring the display to life, creating the characters, settings and individual details - all working completely apart from each other. Our pieces were brought together for the first time at the show and we were absolutely blown away to be given a gold award - not to mention some brilliant feedback from the judges! . Being announced as the overall winners of the category was the icing on the cake of a wonderful show weekend and I couldn’t have shared the experience with a better crowd of people. Thanks for a awesome experience, ladies and gent! 😉 . For those that are interested, I created the cowardly lion asleep in the poppy field, which was greatly enhanced by the addition of some simply stunning sugar poppies created by both @eat_my_muffin_bakery and @havesomecakeuk. Thanks guys! ❤️ #wizardofoz #wizardofozcake #cakecollaboration #firstplace #goldaward #cakeinternational #cakeinternationalbirmingham #sculptedcake #sugarart #cakedecorating #cakeartist #cake #cakes #cakeart #baking #baker #caking #sugarcraft #instacake #cakesofinstagram #cakedecorator #sugarartist #sugarpaste #cakegram #cakesofinsta #caketrends #cakeinspo #homebake #cakegoals #cakeoftheday

It has been a crazily busy weekend of creating, exhibiting, meeting tons of fabulous cake fans, demonstrating, partying, celebrating amazing cake talent and my favourite part of all... meeting up with all of my bestest #cakechums from all over the world! . I have honestly had a ball - and it was all topped off by finding out that this year’s competition entry not only scooped a gold award, but also Best in Class! 🥇 . I’ll tell you more about that later, but for now... it’s back to real life and time for work...! @thecakeshows #cakeinternational #thecakeshows #cakecompetition #sculptedcake #sugarart #cakedecorating #cakeartist #cake #cakes #cakeart #caking #sugarcraft #instacake #cakesofinstagram #cakedecorator #sugarartist #sugarpaste #cakegram #cakesofinsta #caketrends #cakeinspo #homebake #cakegoals #cakeoftheday #blog #blogger #foodblogger #cakeblogger
