quick tiny cake (5 inch round) made for my neighbour who is ever so sweet and helpful if ever she is needed. Its her birthday today and rather than buy her a small gift like I normally do I thought I would make a little cake she can enjoy with her hubby and two small boys. White chocolate mud cake, covered in fondx. Gumpaste roses & flowers. Fabric ribbon. I am happy with it other than the ribbon, I didnt realise how mismatched it looked until the photo was taken and by that time it was already stuck on.
small 6 inch white chocolate cake with chocolate ganache centre. Covered in fondx. Gumpaste roses. Royal icing wording and scrolls. Fabric silver rope on base. Made as a gift for my in laws anniversary. not the cake we planned but all we had time for. Turned out ok in the end.
inspiration from wilton 2007 yearbook. White choc mud cake covered in fondx. Bodice and flowers are fondant. Generally easy... little fiddly to attach bodice to dress skirt. Other tricky part was pan shape. In US its called WONDER MOLD and in Australia DOLLY VARDEN... while they are designed for the same purpose the US version is more squat and fat and australian version taller and pointier.. this meant resizing the bodice considerably from the template but overall happy. For my daughters 8th birthday.
2nd ever wedding cake. 1st stacked cake. 10 inch base & 6 inch top layer. Both caramel mud cake with caramel ganache layers. Covered in fondx with gumpaste roses. Matron of honor (considerably older than the bride) ordered this with very little information, she liked a pic I had of a similar cake but wanted swans and a bow. Personally not keen on either of these additions but its what she wanted. All feedback welcome and appreciated.
6 inch caramel mud cake purse. Not real happy with this one. I think it looks more like a little girl wearing a bonnet, with two eyes and a big smile. I was worried about covering this shape in fondant but that was fairly easy. THe trouble was getting the handle/strap to look realistic... I tried so many ways and was also a problem on another cake a few months back... If anyone has any tips with how to get handles/straps to look realistic, i would love to know and have your help
6 inch butter cake. All credit to BIKEGAL who gave me permission to copy a design of hers that I have admired for many many months. So kind to give me instructions for the buttons and detail. All covered and accessories in fondant. Made for another teacher at school who is always sewing the costumes for plays and dance performances. Its her birthday. I am real happy with how it turned out. Thanks again BIKEGAL

A mad fan of the australian socceroos team (first team to qualify for the world cup in 32 years) was being given a surprise 70th birthday. His daughter decided on a dark chocolate mud cake made into the socceroos jersey with buttercream. These jersey cakes are sure becoming popular for us.
7 inch oval lemon butter cake covered in mint green fondx.... mmmm yum. Gumpaste gerbera flowers .... first attempt, not as realistic as I would have liked.. a little too flat. Twisted rope at bottom is fondx pushed through a clay gun and then twisted.
alternate view: 7 inch white chocolate mud cake covered in fondx. Handle and make up are out of gumpaste. Lid is made from one strip of fondx cut using ribbon cutter and glued around the cake to give impression of lid. First time using fondx.. very soft to use... tastes divine.. a real winner in the fondant department. For my daughters 10th birthday.

Experiementing with a buttercream rose on a cupcake. Can anyone tell me why my paper cases always peel away from the cupcake itself.I have tried cheap brand vs bakery quality and cake mix vs scratch cake and it nearly always does it?
