Handpainted, Red, Black, White Wedding Cake.
Topper is made of icing. Drag car is carved from styro then decorated with fondant. Deco on the cake is handpainted, then fondant flowers. Stripe was to match the stripe on the car. Other pics show the just married sign on boot and cans traling behind. The design for this cake was inspired by another cake the couple found online.

Paisley Swirl Cake
Haven't posted a pic on here for a while, so thought I would.. :) This is two tiers of chocolate cherry ripe mud cake, layered and covered with dark chocolate ganache and covered with chocolate fondant. The paisley design is all fondant work. And I've made the entire cake shiny with a little spray of oil. The name topper is hand rolled with fondant, also.

Maori Birthday Cake.
This is a koru inspired design for the 50th birthday of a Maori New Zealand lady. Client emailed me this picture - http://www.flickr.com/photos/bellacupcakes/5059533006/ which I took a little inspiration from. The topper is hand rolled fondant mixed with tylose powder. Koru fronds are rolled black fondant, also.

Pink Mario Kart Cake.
I made this 3D hand carved mario kart (from the wii) for my little girl's 5th birthday party today! She's obsessed with Princess Peach and her pink kart - so this is Kayley's kart! I'm really happy with it. It took me two whole days to finish (that's JUST the decorating!). Hope the kiddies like it today.. :)

My Wedding Cake.
This was my wedding cake which I made! We had a very small wedding.. so I wanted to do something unique. I looooove trees, so had the topper custom made by a lady who makes wire beaded trees in the US. The quote on the cake says "May our roots grow towards each other underground", which is an excerpt from one of my favourite love quotes about growing old together. Hence why I made the cake have roots! This was very hard to cover in fondant as it was a double barrell 6" and the main roots were carved at the base. It held a lot of meaning for us which made it a very special cake. :) The colours of the cake don't show up well in this picture, so there's another one with natural light.

21St Cocktail Party Cake.
This cake was inspired by one of Key Art Studios. The topper is plastic martini glass and the girl is made of fondant with an outift to match hers on the night. The bodice shaped tier is a lot harder to cover in fondant than I realised. All decorations on the cake are fondant.

Pink And Green Engagement Cake.
I designed this cake for an engagement (bits and pieces taken from lots of different cakes). There's no engagement folder, so I put it in my bridal shower.. All decorations are fondant. Initials are fondant with tylose... Left to dry then painted with sparkle dust. Hearts are fondant and tylose. TFL.

Japanese 30Th - With Girl In Kimono.
Branches are handpainted with black gel paste and vodka. Blossoms are hand made using this method... http://sugarteachers.blogspot.com/2009/06/cherry-blossom-tutorial.html (scroll down a bit). Was my first time making them - they could have been better! Figurine made from gumpaste - her kimono is hand painted with her scarf matching the cake. I really like how this turned out. Soooo much work, though. White chocolate mud cake with white chocolate ganache and fondant.

Baby Footsteps Christening Cake.
I attempted to make the baby converse shoes (but didn't do them high tops) from the template by stellastarchild. Thanks so much to her for putting those up! I think if I ever do them again, I'll know what to do better. The footsteps were done with a handrawn template and an exacto knife. Inscription on the board is done with edible markers/pens. This is two tier white chocolate mud cake with white chocolate ganache, then covered in fondant. TFL.

Bird House
I designed and made this cake for the June issue of Cake Central Magazine. I was sooo excited to be asked, seeing I rolled my first piece of fondant only a year ago. I'm not completely happy with it.. But was given a tight deadline, so glad I got it done and glad it made it in! I received the magazine yesterday and it's a pretty good read!
