Trinket Box Dummy Cake
This is my second dummy cake that i have done for fun and practice and decided to go for a small sized three tier design this time :) The idea behind parts of the cake such as some colours, the rope border, piping and the flowers is based on the my gumpaste trinket box on the top which i made a little while ago and is a replica of a real one i have. All is fondant except for glace piping, gumpaste flowers, gumpaste box, some real ribbon and silver ring. I like how it turned out except i don't like how there isn't enough difference between the dummy tiers (biggest is 5 3/4") but they are the only ones i had, oh and additional pic is my trinket box. Thanks for looking!

Doctor Who Tardis Cake
This was a cake I made for my cousin for her birthday who loves the Dr. Who TV Series (so do I lol). I hadnât made a cake like this before and I was disappointed with how it was turning out and nearly gave up on it but I decided to carry on which I glad I did because my cousin said she loved it and got nice compliments so that helped me feel a bit better about it. All fondant except for printed signs on the box and other cut outs on the cake board, light on top is metal and crushed biscuits for the landscape. Also if your wondering what the banana is there for it is a little joke as I left a note with it quoting Dr.who from one of the episodes saying âalways bring a banana to a partyâ...I thought it was cute lol Of course I reckon because it is a tardis there is actually more cake on the inside then it looks on the outside lol Sorry for the long spiel, Thanks for looking!

Chocolate-Orange And Wafer Cake
This was a last minute cake for a guest that was coming over for dinner that night. It is a chocolate-orange cake with swirls of chocolate and orange icing. I did a chocolate wafer border tied with a ribbon and in the corner a mix of chocolate and pink gumpaste flowers and also added some small material flowers to create a corner arrangement. It's hard decorating a cake using a loaf pan cose it's hard to find a balance with the decorations but i think it turned out ok. Thanks for looking!

Pink And Yellow Dress Cupcakes
The idea for these cupcakes comes from a mannequin dress cake I have previously done. Bodices of the dresses and flower's ribbon are cut from gumpaste and handpainted with paste colouring and gold lustre dust, RI flowers are bought and IMBC icing. These are my third attempt at decorating cupcakes (first time trying swirl tip) after my last two disappointments but I am slowly improving n also gotta practice piping the swirls better.....these two turned out the neatest lol Thanks for looking!

Even though itâs not that big and complicated I am kinna proud of this cake and had lots of fun making it :) Thanks for looking!

Porsche Cookie
This is the Porsche logo cookie i made for my dad who absosulety LOVES Porsches. When asked he said it looked pretty close to the real logo so i'm happy about that and glad that he liked it :) As usual there are things i am not happy with but i guess that's what practice is for! Almond biscuit with flooded RI, horse is painted with paste colour (that was a tricky bit) and gold piped outlines were painted with a mixture of paste colour and gold lustre dust. Thanks for looking!

Ok so here is another one of my gumpaste pieces lol Once again just for fun because i enjoy making them. It is a mini saucer with both hand painted gold rim and iris flower in the middle which was painted using diluted paste colours and a very tiny brush lol.

Medal Cookie
I was thinking about kids parties one day and cookie favours then i thought you know how you can buy plastic novilties medals for parties to award to the kids when they win a game at the party? well why not make them edible and do them as cookie! I made this from left over dough and i don't have an opportunity to make them but thought i would just make it and put it up here for someone who might like the idea for their kids party or something, if anyone would lol. Flooded RI with gold luster dust :-)

Fishing Cake
This is a cake i did for my uncle for his birthday. He likes fishing and I poked a bit of fun at him with the cartoon fisherman with a tiny fish image i found which i traced and then outlined and flooded with Royal Icing.

Thanks for looking!

Sundae Ice-Cream Fun
I made this just as a single cookie and thank goodness i did cose it was a lot of work with it's share of problems lol I wanted to make a really intricate cookie for fun and also for a bit of a challenge so i decided i wanted to do a sundae ice cream theme and found an amazing black and white clip-art image that i decided to replicate onto the cookie with some fun colours.

Almond biscuit with antonia's RI and buttons and logo painted with diltued food colouring. They look bit crude and messy cose i had a bit of trouble with them but since men are eating them hopefully they won't notice and just scoff them down lol. Thanks for looking!

Mini Butterfly Cakes
These were some mini cakes i made when a guest came over who likes butterflies and ladybirds. It was a ginger cake with buttercream icing. Butterflies and ladybirds are flooded with royal icing and then hand painted with food colouring. I had very little time to ice the cakes at the last minute so i sort of had to slap on the icing and then quickly pipe so they are really messy lol

Nan's Cottage Painting Cake
This is a cake i did for my Nan's birthday. On top is a gumpaste painting which i hand painted with diluted paste colours. Is my 4th fondant cake and is WASC with light ivory fondant and vanilla buttercream filling, piping is royal icing painted with gold lustre dust and then i added the ribbons coloured to tie in with the painting and cake colours. I wanted to give it a nice simple elegant look but not sure if it is too plain but still pretty happy with it and was glad my nan loved it :) Thanks for looking

Cottage Painting
This is another one of my gumpaste pieces but this time it has a purpose! Hand painted using diluted paste colours and just wanted to practice painting with food colouring. I think it's alright except some bits to me don't look quite right but it is mean to be a replica of an oil painting i found. I used it for my nan's birthday cake (in my gallery) recently which she loved. Frame is also gumpaste in edible gold paint and the whole thing is 12cm x 8cm. Thanks for looking!

Mini Gumpaste Wooden Jewellery Chest
This is another one of my gumpaste pieces that i do for fun. However i am dissapointed with this one because it is not how i wanted it to look cose I think it is a bit plain and the construction is a mess, but i didn't want to waste the fact i used the gumpaste so i decided to finish it. The painting on the lid i love however which i hand painted using diltued paste colours and is 3x2.5 cm using a tiny brush lol. The box is 6cm long and 4.5cm deep. Maybe i can just call it all 'rustic' lol

Fashion Cookies
These are a batch of cookies i did for fun. I was so so excited to do these except was alot of work lol I made my own template for the cookies and also designed the dresses on them too (i did the two bikini ones for the men lol). These are my second attempt at flooding but this time i decided to try flooding them without the outline technique first and I am alot happier with how they look this way. I think my favourite is the pink and black one :-) Oh and once again they are almond cookies with Antonia's RI. Thanks for looking!

Jetstar Cookies
These are a batch of cookies i did for my dad who is a pilot and his flight crew to eat on one of their long flights. He works for an australian airline called Jetstar so i decided to do the company's logo on the cookie and as the shape. They are almond biscuits with Antonia's royal icing. They took a while but I am happy with the result except they could be better but hope the crew like them anyway. It was my first time doing royal icing on cookies and the flooding method and thanks to TracyLH for all her help :-) Thanks for looking!

First Buttercream Cake: Mother's Day Cake
This is my first time doing a buttercream cake as well as leveling and trimming! It was for my mum for mothers day. I tried to get it smooth (i added a pre decoration pic) and i think it went pretty good except you can still see some scrappy lines of serrated knife i used to help smooth before the spatular lol but i will keep practicing! It is also my 2nd attempt at making buttercream roses. Everything besides the ribbon and circle on top is buttercream. Thanks for looking!
