Today marks the official launch of Windows 7, and Microsoft UK is throwing a massive party in the heart of London's trendy Soho district. To commemorate this momentous occasion, I was thrilled to be commissioned to create a truly unique cake that celebrates the arrival of this exciting software. The cake itself is in the shape of a sleek airplane, its wings outstretched as if ready to conquer the digital skies. The fuselage, constructed from delicious cake, boasts a chocolate coating that mimics the sleek lines of a modern aircraft. Creating this cake was an absolute joy, allowing me to combine my passion for baking with a touch of tech-inspired whimsy. I can only imagine the excitement it will bring to the Microsoft UK team and partygoers as they celebrate the launch of Windows 7.

Stealing someone else's work

Image
Today I stumbled upon a mail order cake site based in India. Apparently they've been using images from my portfolio and claim it theirs. I also discovered that they've got images from other cake sites too. Do they not even capable taking picture of their own work ? Is it just a lazyness because it is so easy just take other's work, copy them and sell them cheap? I don't mine people use images on my sites for design inspiration, but please don't just copy it and claim it yours. I really don't know how to react in this situation.

My work has been featured on Environment Times website. The 'works in fat' competition helt at Birmingham's NEC is being sponsored by Anglian Water as part of a campaign to raise awareness about potential pollution caused by the incorrect disposal of waste fats, oils and grease in sewers. Quoted fromt the site: “Pollution which results from blockages in the sewer can be devastating for the environment. It is therefore important we do all we can to raise awareness about the issues. The Works in Fat competition is a wonderful way to promote artistic and creative flair whilst also drawing attention to a potentially very serious problem for communities."
