Madagascar

I loved making this colourful and happy cake to celebrate the birthdays of Bianca (3) and Hayden (5).

If you are going to celebrate two birthdays , why not have a cake with two flavours; bottom tier is devils food cake filled with dark chocolate ganache and the top tier is a vanilla bean cake filled with white chocolate ganache.



Eight not Out!

I received an order to make a cake for Benji's 8th birthday, a keen cricketer.  Benji's mother loved a cricket theme cake I had previously made and ordered the same.

Wedding Bells are Ringing....

A  bride-to-be asked me to make a wedding cake that represented the couples' love of travel, including some of their favourite destinations and also the groom's love for  the Sydney Swans.

The bottom tier is passionfruit mud cake filled with white chocolate ganache and fresh passionfruit; the top is chocolate cake filled with dark chocolate ganache.

Solar Electric......

The University of NSW contacted me to make a cake for the launch of their fifth generation solar electric car.  I was given a the car's profile image and asked to make a cake reflective of the profile.  To serve 100 people this devils food cake (chocolate) is 76 centimetres in length, filled with dark chocolate ganache, covered with fondant and finished with a hand painted "Sunswift" logo.

Happy Birthday Princess!

No, you are not seeing double. One slightly smaller cake for an intimate family gathering and the other for the actual party. Both cakes are butter cake, which has a low sugar content (as requested by the customer) and are lightly filled with white chocolate ganache.

Each cake was identically decorated with fondant tiaras, rolled roses and finished with hearts.


Hearts, roses and glitter!

Off and Racing - Happy 2nd Birthday

A four layered vanilla bean rainbow cake decorated with a 'racing car' theme. Complete with handmade fondant cars - 100% edible. 
  
The cake was accompanied with 30 mini chocolate cupcakes with buttercream and fondant toppers made to match.


A rainbow of colour!

Hip, hip, hooray......Happy Birthday!

A good friend asked me to make his 60th birthday cake without any creative direction, however he did mention that he liked my white chocolate mud cake. So, the end result is a white chocolate mud cake for the bottom tier and devils food cake (chocolate) for the top tier.

I opted for an eye catching design with simple colours to enhance the effect.
