We were asked to create a cake for The Knot Magazine. The brief included a 3 tier cake, one tier with ruffles, in baby pink and inspired by fabric... and this is what I came up with. The pattern on the middle is handcut and the ruffle on the bottom tier is inspired by a skirt that I stumbled across online.
The colours on this cake were inspired by the colour palette for the day inclusive of dresses, flowers and decorations. The 2 roses are actually peach - they look quite orange in the photos. Both are handmade. Raspberry Ripple for the top and double barrel bottom tier with Vanilla White Truffle ganache
Two Sugars is a Sydney Based cafe and i was asked to make a cake for their 1st birthday celebrations. Lactose Free Dark Chocolate Mud with Lactose Free Dark Choc Ganache The cafe uses red cups and saucers in the same shape as the handmade version on top of this cake. The cafe's logo has been handpainted in edible ink onto the side of the cake. The coffee beans are real beans.
The racecar itself was inspired by the invitation. It is made from a solid piece of fondant. Everything is edible on this one. Dark Choc Mud and Dark Choc Ganache

This was the third cake at a celebration involving 2x 40th Birthdays and 1 x 4th Birthday ( see "A very retro 40th birthday" and "Livi loves Olives" for photos of the other cakes). Everything on this cake is edible, the Kiwi Fern leaf and the buzzy bee and flowers are all kiwi icons.
This cake was made for my crazy caker-friend's daughter to accompany her 40th birthday cake ( refer to "a very retro 40th" cake photos) Little miss Livi loves Olives so I made them out of fondant!
I created this cake for a very good friend of mine and a fellow caker Nicci from Cupcakes in Camden. She is a Kiwi with a passion for everything retro and whimsical and has a dream of selling cupcakes out of a retro caravan! Red Velvet with white choc ganache top and middle tiers and White Choc Mud with homemade pistachio paste and rosewater white choc ganache for the bottom tier. The peals on the top tier, mosaic on the middle tier and all floral, pinwheel and cupie dolls on the bottom tier are handcrafted and edible. The caravan topper and the figurine of Nicci is a combo of styrofoam and fondant.
This owl cake was inspired by the party invitation, plates, serviettes, etc.. White Chocolate Mud with Vanilla White Truffle Chocolate Ganache.
Another very heavy cake! 17inches x 13inches x 5.5inches tall. Dark Chocolate Mud with Dark Chocolate Ganache. The blocks are fondant covered styrofoam, Part of the lettering was handcut, as were the images and the remainder was handpainted to match the logo.
This cake was extremely heavy! All tiers were mudcake. Dark Choc Raspberry for the top and bottom tiers with dark chocolate ganache and the double barrel centre tier was a white mud filled with Croatian Plum Jam, Walnut Paste and White Choc - based on a traditional croatian recipe "Orehnjaca" (walnut roll). The bluebirds appeared on the wedding invitation and were cut and handpainted. The top tier is made from long strips of overlapping fondant and the bottom tier consists of LOTS of handcut, thinned and folded petals.
I came up with this design for a recent photoshoot. The edible leaves on the top tier were based on a baby shower cake design that I had also done recently. The middle tier was handpainted and the bottom tier is inspired by Jill Rosenwald - but every piece of the pattern was handcut in fondant with an exacto (had no success making a cutter to replicate the design!) The gardenia is handmade - a huge thank you to the amazing Jacqueline Butler from Petalsweet for teaching me this one! The flowers on the mini cakes are also gumpaste and Jacqueline inspired.
