I recently mentioned that the Squires Kitchen Exhibition is back next weekend. The show runs Friday 14th to Sunday 16th March and to coax you into going, here’s a taster of what to expect.
Rather than just a consumer show, Squires lets you get up close to high quality sugarcraft work.
These intricate pieces are all the more impressive when you realise how tiny the cakes are.
You can see the scale here. They really were dinky. This room was full of tiny cakes for the miniatures category for that year’s sugarcraft competition.
If you’re within reach of Surrey I heartily recommend a trip to this event.
It’s incredibly popular so arrive early – the queues were enormous even at 10am.
That said, away from the main exhibition hall selling sugarcraft products, the smaller rooms are much quieter.
Squires’ show is a fabulous opportunity to see top quality cakes close up.
I photographed several hundred cakes that day and regret I could not record who each of them were by.
Please feel free to leave a comment below if you are the decorator behind any of these beautiful creations.
And I will leave you to enjoy a few more!

Most amazing baby shower cupcakes ever!
Wow they are amazing!
It’s hard to imagine that those are all miniature cakes Sarah, as they are all truly exquisite! I am in awe at the craftsmanship of those who made and decorated them. Karen
I know! Such patience, I guess it’s like needlework.
I went to it last year it was really good. Lovely cakes.
It’s easy to get to by train – five mins from Farnham station, half hour ish out of Waterloo/Victoria (I forget which but it’s one or the other)
Beautiful exquisite cakes. Train leaves from Waterloo. I’ll be going on Friday 14th. Long day travelling from Leeds and back. Will be worth it though.
If I go I’ll have to hunt you out!
Gosh the miniature cakes are really amazing – such delicate work!
I know, you’d need good eye sight and a steady hand.
They are too pretty to eat. How very creative.
Those cakes are absolutely incredible! Particularly love the peacock cake. Wow!
Oh my! Those are minuscule! I think the hands would be shaking way too much with everything in such minature.
I had to get quite close up with the camera, surprised my hands weren’t shaking just zooming in on them. Some were barely 5 inches high!
Goodness I had forgotten how amazing they were! Was it really a year ago? Must wheel my photos out!
Helen – it was TWO years ago. Seriously.
How intricate and beautiful!!
Wow! These are master pieces!
Those miniature cakes are impressive. All the delicate craftwork, I am definitely in awe. That peacock one is adorable.
Oh my goodness! Some people have amazing talent and (I assume) infinite patience, they’re stunning, but not something I will ever feel the need to do. I would like to visit though, have to check the diary for next weekend, if the train goes from Waterloo, it may stop at Richmond, or I could change at Clapham.
How absolutely divine. I love miniature anything, I blame my childhood dolls house. The blue one with the white piping is my favourite it’s exquisite. Thanks for sharing.
I like that one too – it’s very Wedgewood.
These cakes are really beautiful, astonishing to get such detail on these tiny cakes. GG
Oh my, these cakes are adorable. I can’t begin to imagine how they do them. I can’t even manage to decorate large cakes, never mind miniature ones.
Ah yes, smaller scale, just as much work.
those are lovely! I though you’d made them to start though and was totally in awe;)
Oh my god, those are amazing. The skill. Oh my that is depressing!
Gosh, how exquisite are these?. Totally in awe at how anyone could have the lightness of hand and indeed patience, incredible!
WOW! Incredible work, I particularly like the peacock one. Stunning!

I’m blown away. I constantly struggle with cake decorating and those are just so beautiful! I hope the event was loads of fun.
Wow they are amazing! I wish I was that talented! x
