In the Night Garden Cake

My little man turned 2 recently, and I struggled as to what cake to make for him. Then one day he was watching tv and this show came on. He got so excited, so that made my mind up for me.

It ended up being such a rush job, I started decorating the cake at 6.30pm the night before his party. It was also the same weekend as the previous posts Wedding, I won't do that again.

Everyone loved the cake, all Harrison wanted was to lick the icing off the character's feet, lol.

6" + 9" Chocolate mud cakes, covered in vanilla buttercream. Plastic figurines & fondant details.

Naomi & Craig's Wedding

Woohoo, my quote was accepted, and they chose the cupcake with the monogram and the little flower.

I even went to the venue and set the display up, so I got to see the beautiful venue, it was divine.

6" cutting cake was chocolate mud cake.

100 cupcakes were half white and half dark chocolate mud.

All topped with white chocolate buttercream.

Monogram topper was made of acrylic and made by Bride's father.

NRL Cake

Archie's Mum & Dad work with my Husband, and are Newcastle Knights fanatics, so when it came to his 1st Birthday cake thats what they chose as the theme.

I hadn't used an edible image before, and I didn't want it to look like it had come from the local bakery / cheesecake shop. I was quite happy with the end result, as were Archie's parents.

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.
