Bubblegum Machine.
Inspired by other CC'rs I decided to make a bubblegum machine for my sons 11th birthday (should I say HE decided I would). Cakes are red velvet with cream cheese frosting tinted blue. Cake was a great success and suprisingly easier than I thought. First time stacking as well. I love it when a cake comes together!

Spider Cuppies
My son had fractured a bone in his foot and his classmates had been so helpful that I wanted to say thanks (in the best way 8 yr old boys understand - CAKE). The them they had been studying at school was spiders, hence the cupcakes. Body of the spider is made with melted choc, coconut and rice bubbles, liquorice legs and smarties for crazy eyes. The boys loved them and they were so much fun to make. i actaully got a round of applause.

Flip Flops
My very first attempt at a carved and fondant covered cake. Made for a little girls 9th birthday with a beach theme. Overall I was pretty pleased with myself and the little girl was delighted. At serving time they spread raw sugar (which I had supplied) over the board to make it look like sand.

Pokeball
Ugh, this cake gave me some trouble. My oven was on the blink so I had to use my neIghbours oven, which kinda threw me out to start with. Then I covered my cake board two days ahead of time, only to find that someone had knocked the cover slightly sideways so a little Gecko (small Australian lizard) left me a little calling card. So, a mad scramble to find some yellow cardboard. The fondant covering went well, the building of the cake went well. My fondant wasn't red enough so I painted it with gel colour. Went to bed happy. The next morning the bottom of the cake had sunk, my white fondant had sunk and cracked, I smudged the red because it wasn't dry ............ fixed it all the best I could with royal icing and toothpicks. My son and his friends were delighted and everybody knew what it was. It was one cake I was happy to cut up and destroy the evidence!
