I made this for a man who turned 70 last weekend. Apparently he would still be up in the hills every day if his wife would let him!
I made this for my little cousin, who is a mad cricketer. My husband and son both play too so they helped by providing ideas and actual gear as examples to copy from :)
I've been wanting to do something art-deco themed for a while, so I was really happy when I was asked to make this. Christina's husband just said she likes orange and art deco, and gave me free reign. So I tried to portray an image of an old marble building being reclaimed by a jungle. The only part I hated doing was the writing, took me three attempts to do it right and there was no way I was going to try doing it straight onto the cake! I would like to thank my 13 year old daughter Amber for helping attach all the dragees ;)
I made this for a very lovely lady's 80th birthday, the family just wanted something floral, and told me she likes purple. I know this cake has been done a million times so I added the bow to make it a bit different.
For my bosses daughter's 5th birthday - she decided she would like either a unicorn or a lizard theme! I was quite glad her dad decided on the unicorn ;)
I made this for a girl who was celebrating her 21st Birthday with a Hollywood themed party :)
It's always such an honour to help people celebrate big milestone occasions in their lives, even when they are total strangers :) Inspired by a pinkcakebox cake.
I decorated this for my best friend, who married another of my best friends this past weekend. Inspired by something we found on the net, but after one good look I could never find it again to give credit! It was a real labour of love, I can't begin to imagine how many hours the figures took as I wanted to get them looking just like the real couple. They are made out of fimo so they can be kept forever. They were so worth it, just to see the look on the happy couple's faces.
I managed to squeeze in one last non Christmas cake - it was fun to make. The 'ice' is smashed sugar toffee.
I made this as a compromise for someone who wanted me to make a cake for his daughter but I had to decline. But I offered to make this topper instead, so he and his wife can just bake a cake and put this on top :)
I made this for my BIL. My sis sent me a pic asking if I could make it - I *think* it was a pinkcakebox cake? I got the best cake compliment I've ever had when someone walked past it and casually said 'oh I thought that was a cake for a minute' Made my night!
I have been wanting to try one of these for ages - Mum's birthday was a good excuse and she loved it. Thanks to all who provided inspiration, especially Jawalleen :) All buttercream.
I made this for my parents 40th (Ruby) wedding anniversary - it was themed to match the invitations. Chocolate and coffee cake - Dad's favourite :)
The couple who ordered this just wanted something simple, blkack and white, with hearts on wires,. I offset the top square and used a stucco effect with RI as it's so quick, I also had a massive cake for a 5 year old to make so I had to keep it simple. The ribbons are velvet which are expensive but I thought it was worth it.
I can't take any credit for the design, the mother sent me a pic of a cake by pink cakebox and asked me to replicate it. Gorgeous design, but what a cake for a 5 year old!!!!
Sorry for the awful washed out photo - I took the tree design from the invitations, and had a play with it. The tier with trees is a dummy which meant I could make it ahead of time, and the top is fruit, the bottom two were chocolate. Quite a mission to do this, drove me to tears and cost me a lot of sleep. Although I really liked the result I think I want a break from wedding cakes for a while!
My DH came up with the idea for this, It was made for my nephew's 5th birthday, a huge Transformers fan. Unfortunately he hadn't seen the movie yet so he had no idea what it was!!! Oh well...
I made this for my old friend's 40th birthday, he is known as Woody (after a wood duck!) I know its cheesy but he told me it was the nicest thing anyone has ever done for him, which brought tears to my eyes :)
I thought I wouldn't have time to decorate a cake for Christmas this year - turned out my daughters (11 and 16) wanted to do it. We bought the globe from a Salvation Army shop for 50c and they created it together. I am so proud of them!
They just asked for white fondant with butterflies and pink and red. For a little girls 1st birthday :)
The order was just for something purple, white and black, so I got to do whatever I wanted - I wish all customers were like that!!!
Made as a birthday cake for my mother in law but I was pratcicing for a wedding cake, this turned out nothing at all like it was supposed to but I was happy with the end result :)
This was for the owner of a fish and chip shop called Mr Grumpy's, they just wanted to have a Mr Men figure cake but I thought I would have a bit of fun with it ;o)
My colleague (a fraud investigator for the New Zealand government, just to explain the newspaper article) retired from work yesterday at the ripe old age of 73 :O)
