Mr Willy Wonka And His Bride
This cake was made especially for the Canal Walk Bridal Fair Cake competition 2013, in which it took 2nd place! All photos by Erindipity Photography by Jess Commaille. The theme was 'Love and Romance' The actual cake inside is fake (styrofoam) but the decor and figurines are all icing. The idea behind the cake was inspired by the "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" story. I was reading the book to my son at the time and I decided that because Mr Wonka never had any family in the story, I thought it would be a fun idea to give him a wife! The actual cake is a fashion cake, with edible gold lace and purple and orange pleats. The cake represents an open chocolate wrapper (the pleats) revealing the golden ticket (the lace). I was extremely happy to have achieved the bright gold look on the lace, exactly how i had planned it!

Santa Takes His Vacation In Sa
After a long couple of days getting the last Christmas gifts delivered, Santa and Rudolf decide to end it all off in Cape Town, South Africa! Finishing the last of their ADMIN on Christmas day, they head off to do a few touristy things: Cable car, Aquarium, Boat rides and of course a special Boney M performance, after which they enjoy a rustic meal at Moyo Restaurant. They then proceed to enjoy a night of mayhem in the city of Cape Town. Santa gets a tattoo, and his hat gets BLINGed, SA style! Rudolf purchases some African cuffs, gets his ear pierced and even gets his 2 front teeth pulled to fit in! After all the festivities, on Boxing day they land up on Boulders Beach(by invite only) to be waited on by their loving penguin fans who have followed them across the world!?
