Cake for my school's year 12 formal. It's actually purple, not blue. They had a casino royale theme, but didn't want it too 'casino-y'. Chocolate mud cake, 12, 10 and 8 inch carved down tiers. It weighed a tonne! It has rained for two days here, and the cards on top that were hard, went soft and the wires ripped through them, so I patched it up, and hopefully it will last through the night.
Mummy and baby doll cake for a baby shower. bailey's Pound cake with white ganache icing under fondant. Matching gingerbread cookies with royal icing. Made to match the invitations. Everything in the house was stained red after this endeavour.

Wow - I have no idea how you all get your buttercream cales so smooth. SMBC over white chocolate mud cake. Very yummy, but must practise my smoothing more. For a combined birthday party for 5 people of various ages.
6 inch lemon pound cake with SMBC and fondant. Truck and men are lego. For my nephew's 9th birthday. Design totally stolen from others here. Thanks!
Chocolate WASC. My first attempt at a topsy turvey cake. I cooked way too much cake and had nearly as much cut off as was in the cake. After about 24 hours, the top tier was starting to buckle over, and I have no idea how to get the fondant smooth at the bottom of the tall side. My admiration to anyone who can do it!
My first square cake 8 and 6 inch tiers. Choc WASC and WASC cakes.
Bailey's pound cake and lemon WASC. White choc ganache filling and under the fondant. Lots of dfferent types of fondant roses: duff, ribbon and petal roses. Some daisies too. For Mum and Dad's combined 60th birhday.
White choc mud cakes with white choc ganache. Basic idea from a cake here. My own additions with the figures. Dramas with the royal icing transfer on top, so it is the underside, which is why it's all crinkly. :(

A quick vanilla Fathers' Day cake to practise royal icing transfers. All went well, except I didn't bother levelling the cake because it was just for my husband (Porsche lover) and my Dad (Land Rover lover) and the Range Rover broke as I put it on. Great technique to use, though.
My niece's first birthday cake. Chocolate WASC (amazing recipe!), with chocolate ganache with crushed Maltesers mixed in as filling. My sister-in-law gave me a Pink Cake Box photo to copy, which was pretty daunting, but she seemed to be happy with the results.

Our daughter's Baptism cake. Lemon flavoured WASC with white chocolate ganache and mauve fondant. It sat in some sunlight and bleached to light blue. Angel figure idea borrowed from youtube. Everyone raved about the taste of the cake and were impressed with my new-found decorating skills (Thanks everyone whose ideas and tips I used). I had so much fun making them! Matching caramel mud cupcakes with plain buttercream icing.
I ran out of time and did this really quickly. I need to work on getting my buttercream smooth, although the lumps look much worse in the picture than they did last night! Irish cream pound cake and white chocolate buttercream with irish cream added, 8" and 4". The cake was very delicious! Inspired by (ie design ideas stolen from) TamathaV's beautiful cake. I still have some work to do to get mine looking as good. The birthday girl was happy though.
Chocolate mud covered in ganache with chocolate slabs around and choloate decorations. A very small slice was enough!
Just me practising my swirls and using up my leftover flowers.
