    Some really gorgeous inspirational cakes! I have just made some anchors from florist paste and it was much harder than I imagined it would be. It would be amazing to find an anchor cutter!

    Thank you for sharing this beautiful selection!
    I very much like the cakes with the shells, especially the last one – it looks very classy with the sea stars and white flowers.
