House On The Hill Anniversary Cake

This is for a civil union anniversary cake with the whole family. Top is a w, hite chocolate and bottom (hill) is a dark chocolate mud cake. Everything is edible except the toothpick in the tomato plant. Still trying to master the fondant people as can't quite master their faces yet but will keep trying.

21St Birthday Cake

Chocolate mud cake with white chocolate panels and star spangles.

Play Your Cards Right...

This was for a friend's mum's birthday -- she's of Swiss heritage and was asked to do a playing card so I opted for the more feminine rosa. The blurb is just a personal saying as she's a third sibling. Turned out bigger than I thought it would after carving.

Engagement Navy Ship

This was alot of fun to do. The groom is in the NZ navy and his fiance is a book editor, hence she is reading a book.

Ball And Chain Anniversary Cake

This was fun. Never done a round cake before but it turned out great thanks to the Wilton ball mould. This was an anniversary cake for friends who wanted a ball and chain theme.

Roses On Cream

This was my first attempt trying a cake using all buttercream. I had only used fondant before so this was a refreshing change, and I must say, a more than refreshing taste. This was a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream coloured slightly with lemon with buttercream roses and sweet peas around the sides, again my first time doing any piping, let alone using the flower nail - but I really enjoyed it.

30Th Birthday

Never done anything like this before, so thanks to some great advice I found here on CC for a sugar bottle, I thought it turned out great for a 1st attempt. Can't wait to try another. This was for a 30th birthday and the lady just loves Veuve Cliquot so I ran with that. The crate is chocolate mud cake with chocolate ganache.

Air Plane Cake

Still learning to carve and made this one too wide - having difficulty getting my head around wasting cake :) Anyway, made this for my hubby who works for an airline. The cake was White Chocolate Mud with white chocolate ganache.

70Th Birthday Cake

This was a chocolate mud cake for a 70th birthday. I was pleased how it turned out.

30Th Birthday

This was a 30th birthday cake with a theme of martial arts - so I decided to put a numchuck on the top.

A Flowery Handbag

This handbag cake was based on my friends real handbag for her birthday.

Xmas Cake 2009

Xmas cake with a fondant cracker on top.

My First Wee Wedding Cake

I made this for a friend as a surprise for her sister who got married away from home with no cake. This was a beautiful fruit cake, one tier with ivory anemones (although I improvised as didn't have cutters).
