Bunch Of Roses

Birthday cake for my MIL's 65th. Fondant flowers, leaves and the pink "cloth" on the bottom layer. Dark chocolate filled roll cookies around the top layer. The card is also fondant.

Cupcake Flowers

Cupcakes made for my youngest's 2nd birthday party. Buttercream leaves with fondant flowers

Ick

A goofy little cake for Halloween. Didn't want to do anything too involved so I made a regular pumpkin spice cake and then made it bleed...

Bee-Autiful Day

Birthday cake for someone who kept bees as a hobby.

Y'want Fries With That?

Made this for my FIL's last birthday. I found a recipe on the back of a ketchup bottle for a ketchup cake and just had to try it! And of course the cake had to be appropriate...

Easter Nests

Cupcakes made for an Easter gathering with friends. Eggs are Cadburys Mini Eggs, rest is piped buttercream

Confetti

Princess Barbie

Barbie doll cake for my DD's 7th birthday. Used one of her own barbie dolls. French vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream, covered in fondant. Tiny roses on neckline and waist also fondant, rest of the flowers are piped buttercream.

Stars For My Star

DH's 35th birthday cake. Chocolate cake with whipped Baileys frosting and molded dark chocolate stars

Fleurs Bleues

French vanilla cake with lemon buttercream.

Lilies

Experimenting...blueberry & whipped cream filled, SMBC frosted, RI lilies.

Strawberry Roses

My first ganache cake. Chocolate cake filled with whipped cream, covered in chocolate ganache, and decorated with whipped chocolate ganache and fresh strawberries cut into roses. The leaves are actually candy spearment leaves, rolled flat and cut into leaf shapes. I've done the strawberry roses before - used the same technique as for making radish roses (strawberries are a bit more delicate tho'!)

Cherries

Chocalate Amaretto cake for my DH's 37th. Buttercream, glacé cherries and hand-piped chocolate decorations. It was very yummy :)

Basket Of Pansies

RI pansies, all else is buttercream

Jungle Fever

Made for my daughter and her best friend's 6th birthday party. It was a jungle theme :)

Rest In Peace

For my sister-in-law's 40th. Fun :)

Leftovers

Practice cake made to use up leftover materials

Cinderella's Castle

Made for my daughter's 4th birthday party.

Tub O'bubbles

Shower cake for a special friend, to welcome a very special baby. Inspired by another photo on this site (although unfortunately I cannot remember who posted it, sorry)

Anniversary Heart

French vanilla cake with strawberry buttercream icing. The "roses" are actually strawberries with petals cut into them. Thought they turned out rather well, for a first try. Unfortunately the picture quailty is not the greatest, as my hubby took it with his cell phone :).

V-Day Cupcakes

Some experimental cupcakes I made while trying out a chocolate buttercream recipe. Vanilla cake w/chocolate BC, fondant hearts and roses. The roses too were an experiment, trying out a technique that I found here on CC (thank you AlamoSweets!). Thought they turned out rather well.

Butterflies For Donna

My very first attempt at a stacked cake, this was for an aquaintance's favourite aunt's 60th birthday. She apparently loves monarch butterflies; there is an emotional significance to them. I think the stacking worked out very well, it didn't slide or collapse or lean, so I guess I did that part right :). Not happy with the smoothing job I did though, that part really needs work. French vanilla cake with SMBC, gumpaste magnolias, and candy-melt butterflies. Thanks for looking!

Snowflakes

A last minute cake made from a leftover cake layer, leftover frosting and leftover moulding candy, made for dinner on New Years Eve. As sometimes happens, it looked better in my head ;-). Still, tasted yummy.

Christmas Bundt

Another eggnog cake, this one baked in a bundt, with more Christmas poinsettas (I love using poinsettas, they look great and are dead simple to do). This was for Boxing Day dinner at my in-laws. Unfortunately it was kind of warm in their house, and the flowers sort of flattened.

Christmas Wreath

Made for Christmas dinner at my house with my folks. It took a bit of time to pipe all the leaves, but I thought it turned out pretty well :). Eggnog cake with eggnog flavoured buttercream, decorated in buttercream with white cake sparkles. Thanks for looking!

Noã«L

My very first paid-for cake, for a friend of my mum's Christmas party. I was generally happy with this one, but I didn't get the flower spacing quite right. Lemon poppyseed cake with white chocolate frosting.
