40th Wedding Anniversary

I was asked to decorate a fruit cake (baked by my neighbour) to celebrate the 40th Wedding Anniversary of my neighbour's parents.  I used a simple, colour scheme  handmade roses, cut flowers and a ribbon - all edible!

Cupcake Fun!

 A selection of cupcakes. 

• Vanilla bean cupcakes covered with white chocolate ganache and fondant.  My beautiful nieces Ruby (5) and McKenzie (2) decorated the cupcakes with edible food markers.  This girls enjoyed showing me their decorative flair and were very proud of their creations. I think they look great too!
• Red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, decorated with edible glitter and fondant hears.
• White butter cupcakes with rosewater buttercream, decorated with edible glitter and fondant shoe cut outs.

Big and Load..... Happy 21st!

There is 8.6kg of white chocolate mud cake and ganache hidden under all the fondant, so I was thankful for all my weight training when shifting this cake around.

The cake represents the heavy metal band 'Lamb of God's iconic flag.

Happy 1st Birthday Princess

Most of us are quietly princesses at heart, so I really enjoyed making this cake for a 1st Birthday Celebration.

The cake is a Devils Food Cake (chocolate) filled with dark chocolate ganache and delicately decorated with fondant. 

To accompany the cake were 36 mini chocolate cupcakes with vanilla bean buttercream decorated with edible glitter and shimmery gold crowns.

Proudly displayed and ready for the celebration.

Junk in my Trunk.... Happy Easter

The Easter Eggs have arrived in style for this year's family Easter Egg Hunt. 

The cake is a Marble Vanilla Bean Cake with Vanilla Bean Buttercream and a handmade fondant Bunny to finish!

Happy Birthday Zeze!!!

To celebrate my eldest sister's birthday, Allison - fondly known as Zeze by the youngest members of our family I contacted my junior design consultant, Ruby (5yrs old).  Ruby suggested I make a "big big cupcake and decorate it with flowers, hearts and in Zeze's favourite colour".  I have satisfied most of the brief, but with only one heart and a few butterflies were substituted.

The cake itself is a crowd pleasing favourite; Vanilla Bean iced with Vanilla Bean Buttercream.
