Pizza Cake

 This was super cute cake for Ella . A Pizza and pool birthday party. The cake was chocolate with polka dots(of course) , I used some of my favorite decorations... gummy pizzas . Looked great! I loved the little pizza Chef , she was fun to make.

Slimey head...


This was a crazy cake order! 
10yr old Dillon was having a,wait for it.."Sports/obstacle course/slime party". 
I though OK , this is different , any ideas from Dillon? 
His lovely mum said "He was thinking a head with green slime all over it"

Got to love 10 yr boys , they always take it to the next level...
A head covered in green slime is what he got. 
Happy Birthday Dillon.

My piece de resistance...

This magnificent creation pretty much topped off my year. A fabulous gold cake for a fabulous girl who was tuning 40. If someone told me in March last year that I would have produced a cake like this 9 months later , I would have held up the "W" sign..whatever.



 The large tier was a triple barrel that contained 3 different flavored 9inch cakes. Lemon mud with lemon curd mascarpone, white chocolate and raspberry mud with white chocolate ganache and a delicious dark chocolate and white chocolate mud swirl with a dark chocolate and coffee ganache. The 5 inch tier on top was the dark chocolate cake. The cake was made to serve 100.


This cake was then airbrushed gold. I used royal icing to give the gold barrel some more added texture. The top tier was bathed in gold glitter from Germany. It looked amazing underneath the light. I also sourced from my favourite Etsy shop "Sugar Robot" the spectacular edible butterflies.I used about 120 of them. They were all placed by hand.
I Love this Cake.

Cupcake christmas tree...

                                                                          
Ho Ho Ho...
These are a great idea for Christmas parties! I had 2 separate orders for these fantastic centerpieces. One for an Adults only party (the chocolate one). I laced the butter cream with a coffee liqueur. Had to stop myself from licking bowl ,OMG!. 
I added lindt balls for those who where gluten free. Worked a treat.


This one was for a Mothers group that still catch up after 8 yrs at Xmas time! 
I included bags of lollies that had a tag with each child's name to place under the tree . I think both trees had about 60-80 cupcakes..they were pretty big, needless to say the car delivery had some hairy moments .


Toby the tram ...

This was another 1st birthday cake. Toby the Tram for a little boy called...Toby! I have always loved Toby the Tram , so dependable. I used a delicious lemon cake with lemon curd to make Toby , something different than the norm. It worked really well. The mini cupcakes were topped with the letter 'T' and the number 1.




I like to move it,I like to MOVE IT ...

 This order came all the way from Singapore...William and Charlie were having a combined birthday party while they were on holiday in Sydney. Their mum contacted me about a jungle cake and I knew I had to do the MADAGASCAR gang. She said 'they are bonkers over that movie '. Who could blame them! . So the process began again with me making the character, showing it to my 3 1/2 yr old , asking him to identify the animal and it's name...he knew them all and the song...which he sang...all the time.
