Ladybug Garden Cake

This cake has been in the works for quite awhile, it has changed directions numerous times, but this is what I ended up with.

I just had to do a close up of the ladybug. She is Sooooo cute!

Cake is chocolate mud cake w/ vanilla buttercream. Fondant and modelling paste details.

Wedding samples.

A few weeks ago, I was asked to do a quote for a Wedding. I haven't done a Wedding before, so I really wanted it to be accepted.

So, I worked it out, and emailed it off, and I was asked to supply samples.

The client requested white and dark chocolate mud cupcakes, quite simple, in purple and cream colours.

So this is what I designed.

My favourites are the 2nd two. I realised after I took the photo of the cupcake with the flower, that I had forgotten to put the flower centres in, but I fixed this before they were delivered.

Busy, busy, busy

I have closed my books for October, and November, as I completely booked out. I can't believe it, I have never been so busy.

As well as all my cake orders, I have changed jobs. I have left my job of nearly 10 years with Dick Smith Electronics, and have joined up as a Merchandiser with Telstra. I have wanted to be a Merchandiser for quite a while, but these jobs are few and far between. They aproached me, so I couldn't be happier. It also works in quite well with Harrison. It is 5-8 days per month, very flexible (I set my own roster). harrison has started at a local childcare centre, one day per week, and he still goes to my parents house another day per week. I have been trying to cram all my work into the 5 days, so that I get 3 days per month to myself :o)

Ok, I had better go,
More cakes to come soon xox

Calling all Star Wars fans.

You may remember earlier this year in February, I made a R2-D2 cake for a little boy called Bailey. Well this month it was his cousin Dylan's Birthday, and he has asked for a Yoda cake. I was pretty stressed about making Yoda, as I had no idea as to how I would make him, but in the end I was quite happy with the result. The best part, is that Dylan loved him :o)



























Yoda was chocolate mud cake, with vanilla & chocolate buttercream.

Hugs 'N' Stitches Cake

More Chocolatey Goodness!

Strawberry Malteaser Chocolate Cake

This was 2 layers of rich chocolate cake sandwiched with a chocolate malteaser mousse, covered in whipped milk chocolate ganache and panels, and filled with chocolate coated strawberries and more malteasers. YUMMO!

This was my first time making chocolate panels, and chocolate covered strawberries.






































Made for my good friend Jillian's Mum for her 60th Birthday.

Adam's 30th Birthday Cake.

I had been thinking of what sort of cake to make for Adam for quite a few months. I knew it had to be a white chocolate cake, but other than that, I had no idea. I saw a cake on someone elses blog a while ago, for a single tiered cake covered in kit-kats and m&m's, and thought it looked fun, and yummy. So I altered it to a 2 tiered, and added some stars etc to the top.

It is white chocolate mud cake, layered and covered with dark chocolate ganache, surrounded with kit-kat's, and covered in m&m's.

In total there is 3.15kg's of chocolate on and in this cake.

I am so happy with how it turned out, and that I managed to keep it a secret from him. he loved it.

This is what I ended up with.
