Black Board Chalk Board Teachers Cake
This cake was almost a disaster, it was so humid all the fondant was sticky:( The frame was supposed to stick out but it wouldnt stay! ( even after drying for over a week!). Hubby had the bright idea of wrapping it over the sides and it seemed to work. The chalk like writing is actually a non toxic - water based pastel crayon bought at the local cake decorating store..

Australia Buttercream With Fondant Accents Cake
I didnt want to do the usual " Australian" cake . The cake board was inspired by beautiful aborginal paintings. The dots were done with coloured white chocolate . I dipped a chopstick in melted chocolate and tried to neatly dot on the board.. all i can say is.. ARGH! NOt as neat as I hoped.

White Chocolate Buttercream Flowers
Ok, the brief I had was " Marie Antionette " bridal shower theme.. I stressed about this one for ages.. But the bride wanted flowery cupcakes so that made it easier.. I tried to use colours that resembled the elizabethan era. Saturated and deep without looking gaudy.. I hope she liked them!

Vanilla cupcakes with choc ganache covered in Fondant. The basketball cupcakes are coloured with Americolor terrcotta and Orange colour mixed together. As for the soccer cupcakes, I used a pentagon and hexagon shapes to make up the pattern.. Thanks to Alana from Custom cakes for the soccer ball inspiration! EDITED: anyone interested, this is the template I used.( wont show up in my comment below) ( good old papercraft!) Sorry all, the URL keeps getting deleted. Try searching via google for "paper model of truncated icosahedron". -- Jane:)

Chocolate Ganache Covered Cupcakes With Italian Butter Cream Crysathamum
The picture isnt that great but the client wanted contemporary,funky cupcakes so I experimented and came up with brown liners that match the choc ganache and piped on the flowers then flecked the cupcakes with gold luster dust.
