It was a wonderful day today. I had the pleasure of making a Hungry Caterpillar themed cake for gorgeous little mans first birthday and dedication. Months ago when my friend told me the theme and it had to serve 100 people, I knew I finally had the chance to go crazy! It stood one and a half metres tall and just fit in the car. It traveled fully assembled one and a half hours away to the party and made it with no incidents. The details – the 12 inch square base tier was 5 layers of Red Velvet with vanilla butter cream tinted yellow, green, orange and blue. The 2nd tier (the Cherry Pie) was a 10" round with a cut out wedge. It was fudgy choc mud with dark choc ganache. The cupcake was Banana cake with a solid chocolate cup and multi coloured banana butter cream layers ♥ It sat proudly on the most incredible dessert table created by my amazing friend Leesa Holt…she is a party planner extraordinaire! Well done Leesa! x It was a perfect day, only marred by a thunderstorm that swept through drenching everyone AND the cake! Yikes!! Luckily we had plenty of before storm photos :) I LOVED making this cake! Happy Birthday gorgeous Riley! :) xx
I made this cake for a fundraising party being held to assist in sending a gorgeous girl and her fabulous team of dancers to the US. I was given free reign with the design and as it wasn’t one of my usual crazy busy weeks, I went to town! I really enjoyed making this as it looks far more difficult than it actually was. Now I want to try some different variations of it…maybe a shmexy black corset? :)
I made this last weekend for a dear friends 30th birthday ♥ Not an original design, there are lots of ones similar all over the internet, but one I have wanted to try for a while. Caramel mud cake with Caramel ganache. Happy 30th Angela!! :) xx
Our gorgeous friend Maneesha LOVES Harry Potter with a passion so when her beautiful Mum asked me to surprise her for her 18th birthday I knew I was going to have some fun!! The only requirement was that it was CHOCOLATE!! Rich, sticky chocolate mud cake with a rich chocolate ganache…...yum!! Thanks Libby and Maneesha for trusting me and letting me have so much fun!! Happy Birthday Maneesha! :) xx ♥
Cornflower Blue Sugar Magnolias to match the bridesmaids. Top tier white chocolate mud with fresh raspberries and white choc ganache. Bottom tier dark choc mud with dark choc peppermint ganache. Congratulations China and James :) xxx
Gorgeous Maureen tells me she is 70...I'm not convinced! I loved making this cake to match her wonderful, bubbly personality :) x
I've been busting to make one of these! A little Hungry Caterpillar cake for a Hungry Caterpillar themed Baby Shower. 8" rich and chocolatey Mud Cake with dark chocolate ganache :)
This is my contribution to the Cakenweenie Collaboration to celebrate Tim Burton's 55th Birthday. Catwoman is made of a 50/50 mix of fondant and modelling chocolate over a wire armature. Her Cat suit stitches and eyes are hand painted, including the silver eyelets on her boots. Her laces are piped royal icing. Her room is all fondant with a cut out around ‘HELL HERE’ for the hot pink glow sticks to shine through.
I recently made this cake for little Jesse, the son of a very dear friend. For his 1st birthday, I made him a Thomas the Tank Engine and he was very upset when poor Thomas got the chop! So this year, I made a plan so he could keep Cookie for his bedroom :) The Cookie jar is a 6 inch white choc mud with white choc ganache on the bottom and a 6 inch chocolate mud cake with choc ganache carved into the top of the jar. I designed the cake to have a completely separate, ready-to-go Cookie Monster topper for Jesse's Mum to save. The lid is styro and I just removed Jesse's name from the cake board and stuck it on the jar lid as a keepsake. Naughty Cookie Monster got hungry on the trip to the park and started chomping on Jesse's 2! :)
A few months ago I was privileged to make my second Cake Central Magazine cake. The theme was Beatrix Potter Baby Shower cakes...my book was The Tale of Johnny Town Mouse.....I REALLY wanted to make Jemima Puddle Duck again so I designed my whole submission around a stack of Beatrix Potter books so I could show the characters coming to life from the stories....great plan right??? Hmmm....when I assembled the cake, little Jemima wouldn't fit!! Her bum was too big haha! Poor Jemima....never mind, now she has a home :)
I made this cake recently to celebrate the arrival of Riley...the newest and youngest member of our wonderful gang. I have wanted to make something like this for a while. I love Forever Friends bears and love hand painting on cakes so tried to do as many fun techniques on this one as I could. Thanks for looking :) x
What a busy week I’ve had…one of my favourite cakes was this Tigger cake for James. I loved making this and can’t wait to do another Tigger…maybe bouncing on his tail next time…he’s such a happy little guy!
This is my first Tinkerbell figurine....heavily influenced by the brilliant Trina Thompson! But pales in comparison...practice, practice, practice :)
Soft and pretty Baby shower cake for Teagan. There are lots of ‘borrowed’ elements in this cake so I thank whoever came up with them first :) x
Our Gorgeous friend Mel turned 30 last week (whippersnapper!!) and I had the pleasure of making a birthday cake for her High Tea. We had a lovely day and I think Mel liked her cake. I made her a White Chocolate mud cake with a fresh raspberry puree and white chocolate ganache. It was a little bit tasty haha! The decoration is handrolled fondant and Royal Icing piping. Happy Birthday Mel!! :) x
The humidity was very kind to me this week, allowing me to get just the look I was after for this Mummy and her much anticipated little bundle. I loved doing the hand painting on the base tier :)
Baby shower cake for a wonderful friend. 6” double barrel base tier consisting of Vanilla cake with white choc ganache and caramel mud with caramel ganache. Top tier of rich chocolate cake and chocolate buttercream.
This cake was for Holly’s lovely teacher Mrs Blackley. In my mind it started off as a small cake and with just 24 hours notice it grew to a large cake for 90 (the whole small school) with a full size stiletto on it! What a rush! At 4am I was convinced it was going to be a disaster…by 6am I was slightly less panicked. Mrs Blackley loved it. Happy Birthday Mrs Blackley! :) xx
Jack LOVES Ben 10 so I broke my no cupcake rule for him to add maximum Ben 10 punch! Vanilla cupcakes with black tinted vanilla buttercream and hand cut toppers. All shading has been done using petal dusts. The cake is an 8" white chocolate mud cake. Thanks for looking :)
Lovely Brooke thinks my vanilla cake with white choc ganache is pretty yummy. So when she contacted my about her 30th birthday, I decided to surprise her with an extended tier so she would have left over cake to enjoy after her party. She wasn’t sure what she wanted, just as long as it was ‘pretty and pink’. The flowers are my first attempt at filler flowers (I have to find time to watch Jacqueline Butler’s Craftsy class) and the Quatrefoil stencil on the side is Royal Icing. Thanks for looking :)
