A Basket Full
This basket full of flowers I made for my dear friend's birthday last month. The basket is moulded with sugarpaste, and then piped with royal icing, using basketweave. The roses, and leaves are piped from royal icing. The hyacinth and white jasmine were moulded from sugarpaste. I was so thrilled she was happy to receive her basket full.

The 9 Cakes
These are the complete 9 cakes for an over the hill birthday. Each cake represents the stage he had been and is in at present: from the baby, teenage, pottery (as he made pots for living), naturopath (for living as natural as he could), then his business running an anger management course, first house to buy, then Ubud the place he loves, our wedding day, then the present at the farm here in NZ.

Wedding Stage
This is the wedding stage of the 9 cakes. The roses are from royal icing, that was my first attempt to make roses from a small tip. I'm still learning to make the leaves. I just made them from a paper bag and cut the tip, then off I went. I didn't do a good job on that one I think :) Anyway, not bad for a beginner, is it? :)
