A 30th birthday cake based on an invitation design. Colour theme is purple and teal blue with light ivory icing. This cake is an 8" round extended tier, about 6 inches tall.
These cakes were vanilla and raspberry cupcakes and cake top covered in buttercream to match the bridesmaid dresses.
Fabric and lace. This cake was originally designed by Amy Beck Cake Design and I was so happy to have the opportunity to make it for a special bride.
I am not sure of who is the original cake designer of this cake, but I fell in love with it and couldn't wait to give it a try. I changed the flower to a red rose. I love roses!
A special 40th Birthday cake based on feathers, flowers and ruffles.
A 40th birthday cake which is a Hazelnut praline truffle cake soaked in Frangelico syrup.
A cute birthday cake with the ever popular Minnie Mouse. The image is made completely from icing, allowed to dry and set as a keepsake. I had so much fun making this cake and really happy with how it looks.
This cake is the latest wedding cake added to my collection, inspired by the famous "Maggie Austin" frills. The sugar roses were colour matched to the wedding colour scheme in 3 different shades. I really enjoyed making this cake!
This cute little clown was made by my 13 year old daughter, Josephine. It basically took her all day, but it was worth it. I can't believe she made it so well and I am really proud of her. At the moment my children have school holidays and this is what my daughter decided to do during her school break.
This is a wedding cake which I have made for a couple who sell water pumps for a living. They supplied photos of the pump and then it was up to me to replicate it. Lost many hours of sleep over the week, but I am so happy with how it has turned out. Silver base is solid dark chocolate mud cake, while the blue motor and yellow pump were made out of foam, which was hand carved.
Espresso chocolate mousse cake decorated with white chocolate shards and chocolate roses
The seperators between the cake tiers are 4mm boards sandwiched together with royal icing and allowed to set. These can be made to any height. Then I cover the outer edge only with fondant icing and smooth with an icing smoother. The lace edge was made using a cutter and impression set.
This cake is decorated with fresh flowers which are individually wired and taped together. I placed two plastic posy picks into the cake so the fresh flower stems would not make contact with the actual cake.
I made this cake for a couple who grow peaches in my local area. Their wedding reception theme were peach blossoms
I made this 4 tier as part of my demonstration in making a lace look wedding cake. To make the lace, I rolled fondant finely, then used a raised impression mat or you could use a textured rolling pin. Once fondant is textured, I brushed it with super pearl lustre and cut 3 different sized flowers. I then used small round piping tips to cut out the centres of my flowers and also some petals to give a more lacey effect. Then, using royal icing, I piped the centres of all flowers and piped scroll patterns in between the flowers to give a lace effect. Bows were made with the same textured icing and the floral drape was made using a floral mould. The lace edge was made with the same textured icing, but I have used a lace cutter which only cuts the bottom edge, then I used a ruler to cut a straight top edge, I measured from top of lace to bottom tip 3cm. I also used a pasta machine to get an even thickness of icing. I use my pasta machine alot!
