1St Birthday Madhatter
The inspiration for this came from Sam Dobbyn on flickr and I wanted to try and replicate it because her work is stunning. The bottom tier is a cherry ripe mudcake with dark chocolate ganache and the top tier is a gluten free white chocolate mudcake. I was very sad about this cake because the day after this photo was taken my dog decided to take a big chunk out of the bottom tier. I had to redo this cake and it did not turn out the same but was close.

This is the first time I have made a giant cupcake. Thank you very much to Sam Dobbyn for her instructions for the top. Also a big thank you to Andrea's Sweetcakes for her beautiful designs which what had inspired me to create this one.

White chocolate mudcake with dark chocolate ganache. The cake is for a 10th birthday and it is a twilight inspired themed cake for a girl who loves the books. Hand made ruffled tulip sits on the top with a real apple. The number ten is made from fondant and covered with edible glitter.

60Th Birthday Cake
This is a 10 inch caramel mudcake with dark choc ganache - everything on the cake is edible - the man's hobbies were both golf and surfing so decided to try to combine the two - the sign says 'beach closed due to shark sighting' and the cake board says 'at least there's always golf'

Year 10 Class Of 2009 Graduation Cake
3 tier dark choc mudcake with dark choc ganache. This was made to celebrate the graduation of the year group that I oversee at my school. The colours represent the boy's shirts and the girl's skirts - the tie was supposed to be striped but the colours would not show up on the dark green colour. All edible including the mini books - the ladders are made out of skewers and represent the hard work and steps to get the students to graduate

2 Tier Book Cake
Cake I was asked to do by the school I work at as the first prize in a raffle for trivia night... it is a two tier dark choc mudcake with dark choc ganache. The figurine and thought cloud are made out of gum paste. The cake board is a whole heap of trivial pursuit cards with questions that I made up for each of the categories and then printed out on icing paper to match the theme of the night...
