My rose wrap cake with purple butterflies and knife spray. Hummingbird Cake with cream cheese ganache (salted white chocolate & Lorann cream cheese oil). Petals are 33% gumpaste 66% fondant for strength during transport - which worked really well. Butterflies are edible images on gumpaste. Bride & groom thought it was amazing...so pleased.
Double barrel 8 inch vanilla/passion/raspberry chiffon filled with swiss meringue buttercream and outer iced in swiss meringue – drips were royal icing/white choc ganache mixed 50/50. I used fluorescent food colours - the UV Black Light shows the effect really well
To celebrate a baby boy's Christening - his dad serves with the armed forces, hence the camouflage base tier, camouflage high top booties and dog tag "Daddy's Little Soldier"
To celebrate this gentlemen's 60th birthday, his wife ordered cake replicas of his 1968 Massey Ferguson 135 Tractor, Bullet 1800 Ski Boat and a figurine of the birthday boy as a barefoot waterskiier. His kids bought him a Red Malibu Surfboard for his 60th birthday gift, so we made a replica of that too. The cake fed 60 guests - tractor was 12"x 4" + 6" and 3" wheels. The boat was 12" x 6". Dark chocolate & White Chocolate mud cakes. Lots of little elements that I wanted to include are missing (ie stitching on the leather seats, gear sticks, tool box etc), unfortunately time became the enemy.
This was my 'plan' for building a safe transportable structure for a double barrel cake. It had a heavy fresh floral arrangement on top, thus the extra support dowels on the top tier.
10" and 12" tiers of chocolate mud cake, iced in Swiss Meringue Buttercream. Handmade roses and blossoms.
Inspired by all the beautiful floral cakes I see created by our UK sisters, I came up with this design.
The client brief: "can you make a really hideous cake? It is so ugly we almost vomited when we saw the photos, but choose to roll over laughing instead. We think it would be a scream to give this to our mum and dad" The kids of these lucky parents wanted to celebrate their 25th Wedding Anniversary with a mini replica of their 1980's inspired 5-tier wedding cake. In a nutshell it is 'fruffy' and embodies all of the tacky, fake, over-the-top detail that the 1980's were famous for. For UK & Aussie fans - it just reeks Scott & Charlene's wedding doesn't it!! We did a 2 tier version in white chocolate ganache (to keep within the client's budget - they are kids after all) with white feathers, artificial blooms, pearls and a glass chalice. It was looking kind of ok, until the 3rd & 4th swag rows were piped, but then the huge ribbon bows were added and it totally embodied the client's brief. Verdict is still out whether I should include this one on my website. The florist says 'dont you dare!".
Ordered as a gift to surprise the birthday girl on the occasion of her 40th birthday - vintage pink/cream with a touch of gold.
Gumpaste iPod (touch, 5th gen). The screen was an edible image painted over with glossy 'flower & leaf glaze'. The denim is fondant - stitching tool run over for the stitches and then handpainted with Wilton's 'royal blue' gel paste mixed with rose spirit.
Inspired by a stunning fondant cake created by Cotton & Crumbs UK, is this white chocolate ganache version. I used Wilton tip #2 for the pearl garland, but wish I had used #0 - that would have been more petite. White Chocolate ganache had 1 bottle of Wilton 'White White' icing colour added to tone down the yellow. The flowers are gumpaste tinted to match the ganache, dusted with Sugarflair 'blossom' petal dust .
