a new obsession...

 I have a new obsession...wafer paper. I am following this amazing cake artist Stevi Fransen-Auble on Instagram . She is the queen of wafer paper decorations . I managed to make both of these flowers in under 20 mins flat. I airbrushed the colours on to the paper , hand cut shapes and created these beautiful blooms. I love the idea of sugar flowers , but these are magnificent and etheral in apperance. There are so many ways I can use wafer paper on my cakes, I can't wait to show you all in the next coming weeks what my first competition will look like !


pretty pastels...

 Simple pretty pastel cakes for a bridal shower. Different shades of pastel butter cream to compliment the cake flavours  - lemon cake with lemon curd and mascarpone , white chocolate and raspberry with white chocolate ganache and fresh raspberries and last but not least caramel mud with salted caramel butter cream ...yum . They looked fantastic on the dessert table.

Australia Day...



I was asked to create some Australia Day themed cupcakes for a fashion shoot for 'Fabrik'. 
(check out their blog to see the pics)

I personally loved the 'Vegimite on toast 'topper as I used piping gel to give the brown fondant that special Vegimite glow !

Miffy was there as well... waving the flag !

valentines...


These were a special order for a fab new friend  who wanted some of my cupcakes for a photo shoot. 
The request was "something pastel+vintage+what ever you want to do".

 These little babies are by far my FAVORITE toppers EVER

I drew inspiration from vintage Valentine Day cards, the pleated satin bedheads from the 50-60s , kewpie dolls and rockabilly skulls . I just adore this colour combo as well and we all know I had to use a bit of glitter and a splash of neon. 
I hope these looked amazing in the Photo Shoot .
I found it very hard to let them go... I wanted to keep them for ever

We are back for 2014!!...

 My little mini cupcakes are back for another jam pack year of glitter and fondant!

I love making these little guys every week . As you can see I made extra super cute mini racing cars...still obsessed with that cake!, how cool is the pink car ( I always thought the Stig was a girl!)

 Love to mix vintage with a bit of sparkle. My ballerina is dressed to impress in left over Xmas sprinkles  and edible neon yellow glitter.
 And of course the coolest bunny in town ...Miffy . She always has to have a new dress (and glasses)
So come and find us at Outpost Collaroy... if we haven't already been gobbled up.

brummm brummmm...

 I love this cake!! First one for the year. Such a nice take on little boys racing cars , don't you think?

Simple smart colours thanks to my new airbrush system . I think they all look like mini stigs...brummmmmmmmm
