A friends 30th birthday cake...She wanted her family on it with a love for music & singing & because it was autumn & she liked Autumn colours, I thought what the heck...Notes & leaves blowing about everywhere in a musical Autumny themed double stack 30th birthday cake! :)
Finished the lil rocking horses today gave them silver harnesses!
Helped a friend make her daughters bday cake in Dec last year ...vanilla sponge with purple fondant & gumpaste decorations The lil birthday girl figurine sits on the guitar! I didnt get a final full photo..but you get the idea. We had less than 2hours to assemble this!
Made this at Xmas time for my son to take on the last day of school & either give to one of his friends or eat it himself! He didnt want to give it to anyone NOR did he want to eat it ...So it sat in the kitchen & went rock hard!! [I finally threw it away last week!] *rolling eyes* tsk! LOL
Xmas Tree cupcakes that were made as a tester /experiment thing after I saw a Tute on one of the websites, And they were coverted & nabbed up & eaten up FAST by my son & a few of the neighbourhood kids! GULP - GONE! Special secret Xmas recipe for the chocolate cake mix which I can hint had jule inspired spices in it! But the tree is just green Butter cream the star & baubles are fondant , snow is icing sugar! :) -Fun Project!!
Sonic's friend, 'Rouge the Bat' cupcake turned out great too! Was happy with her! And she went to one of the lil girls in the neighbourhood! Was fun to do but took a while to construct! What a day i had making all the Sonic characters! What spoilt kids too! No birthday just ME wanting to get a portfolio together & get experimenting with what can be done with fondant, cake & imagination! :) Plus patience to do lil details! But I could do this forever I love it so much!!
Amy Rose Cupcake - part of the Sonic Series of Cupcakes I was experimenting with! ..Each one got better & better the more I did! Started to look quite effective! [I think maybe I should do this for a living!! I love it so much!! But it wouldnt feel like work cos I have FAR too much fun! LOL
Sonic the Hedgehog Cupcakes - My first attempt at trying to make a swish kids cupcake using fondant & vanilla buttercream frosting.
Friends of Sonic! Part of my Sonic the hedghog cupcake series! Kids were wanting something different on their cupcakes SO ... I mad Sonice characters ...But soon as I started, the ORDERS started running hot from all the kids around the neighbourhood! ...."Can you make me this one pls.....Can you make me that one??!!" ... - Was fun but alot of work to make ONE!!
My boy loved DodgeVipers & wanted 1 for his 6th bdaycake so I went to a cake supply shop & got snubbed by the attendant who told me to NOT even try attempt a 3D cake but that I'd be better off piping a picture on a cakee& to trust her cos she was a 'PROFESSIONAL'! Not feeling confident with my piping abiilties I trusted my gut & went ahead buying the fondant much against her advice! Ahh The CakeGods mustve been with me the day I made this cos it came out so well, it surprised everyone including ME! :D And all the Mums were saying I shouldve taken the photos back into the shop & shown that woman & say "Gee, ...and Im NOT a PROFESSIONAL!?!" ;) I couldnt but I shouldve! LOL But it does make me smile inside everytime I think back to that incident & reminds me to never underestimate one's self WILL to try take on some new challege!
Stylised Go-Karts that went on a figure 8 racing track [for my sons 8th] featuring Dodge viper Kart driven by 'Sonic the Hedgehog', 'Wingo' driven by the Birthday Boy & 'Crash Bandicoot' in the Ferrarri Kart; 'Naruto' on chequord flag! Figurines r Fondant with CMC. - All the kids wanted to play with figurines! Son was very happy! Now I have to do it again in 5weeks time but build something bigger& better! Challenge & standard has been layed down for me now! Sheeeeshhh! LOL

Cake made up of 3 separated cakes[2xChoc, 1xVanilla] had a layer of jam & choc frosting & covered in chocfondant I mixed to be grey for the road! Figurines r Fondant with CMC. - Kids loved it wanted to play with figs! Son was very happy! So now the pressures on to do bigger & better THIS year! I have 5 weeks to plan his 9th! Aarghhhh!
This was part of a carousel cake. Its Fondant with CMC which I believe makes Gumpaste? I think thats right! I think Im hooked on making icing figurines now! Just love it!
I saw a thing on UTube & followed hhw this woman made these but I gave them lil thumbs & felt they needed 3d hair as opposed to the painted on version she showed! They turned out great & sat on a shelf near the TV for our Xmas last year. Kids were playing playstation during school holidays & the volume was on high so when they switched back to TV, BOOOM & the vibration was enuff to shake one off the edge, fall&smash!! ... The operation was ok! Peter is ok but his ruffle will never be the same again! LOL
School holidays in a HOT Australia & I babysat 6 kids and had to keep occupied inside!! ARGHH! So we made cupcakes & decorated them like frogs on lilly pads. The purple frog is the work of a lil 7 year old Its all gumpaste & icing on vanilla cupcakes! The Fairy was a fast throw together after thought, but she took a day to set dry properly and was rewarded to the lil girl for her great efforts! We made a fish one for her baby sister & the other frog was given to her brother. -They were fast eaten up!
Did this for my ex as FathersDay tribute to him & his departed father & included a grown up version of my 8yr old as a 17 year old [driving age] - Hence 3Generation of PorschMadCarFanatics. Was also his 45th Bday cake so it was a pseudo joke that this was as close as he'd get to getting a black Porsche! [Lil did I know he got 1 a few wks after!!?] -doh! Figurines are gum paste, cake was simple vanilla sponge with chocolate frosting. Chocolate fondant painted black STAYD on tongue! :)- They loved it!
Decorated a cake for my bestfriend who is interstate so had to make it a bits & bops cake easy to assemble the day after we got over there. She hates mowing so I made her an over grown garden! [What kind of friend am I, really? LOL] Her rats & rabbits are out on the loose & her speech bubble says " !@?!*!! WHAT!??...I just mowed last week!!!"... Her daughter is smugly across from her saying ..."Yup! Thats Spring for ya , Mum!!" -The whole family appreciatd it! Was nice to surprise her & see her reaction.
