This little piggy...

I made these little figurines for Jing Jing to put on a birthday cake for some of her friends. They are to represent Year of the Pig and Year of the Rooster. Yes that's what it is, a rooster sitting on top of an egg. ha ha.
The little pig was meant to have longer arms so he could be holding the plate with the cupcake but unfortunately they were a little bit stumpy. They look kind of cute anyway.
They are sitting on a plaque made entirely of fondant icing about 10 cm in diameter so they will look great on top of the cake. Alas I forgot to take a pic of the cake but it was a simple lemon layer cake covered in butter cream.{ similar to the cake I made for Karen in a previous post }

If you'd like me to make you a cake topper give me a call.

Chocolate Wedding Cake

What a busy weekend of cakes. Just wanted to share some pictures of a three tiered chocolate wedding cake I made for a good friend Ute. This cake was a real chocolate delight. I lost count of how much chocolate went into the making of this after about 6-7 kg, 25 eggs, kilos of butter not to mention sticking on hundreds and hundreds of chocolate cigarellos around the base of each cake.
Did I mention the sourcing of fruit which is all out of season for us here in Perth. When my supplier was unable to come through with my order of blueberries my husband { wonderful dear kind husband} went to six different outlets in search of blueberries for me, my visit to three other shops confirmed my worst fears, no blueberries. Mild hysteria and panic setting in at this point. No raspberries, no blueberries. Still as they say the show must go on and the cake was completed and I think the end result was pretty striking. Congratulations Ute and Adam, wishing you much happiness.
P.S. Thanks to my lovely little family for putting up with the kitchen being hijacked this weekend, without your support I couldn't do what I love to do.

Look Away Now If Your Easily Offended

I was asked to make this cake for a friends husband who turned 50 over the weekend. Yes, it's a boob cake with some lovely complimentary cupcakes. Cupcake flavours were ginger and chocolate and vanilla. The naughty cake was lemon and coconut with a vanilla butter cream. I hope you had a great birthday Michael and enjoyed the cakes.

Mini Cake

Just a little birthday cake I whipped up for Alison's birthday. When your pressed for time a little mini stacked cake is the answer. This cake is about 10 cm high with a sugar paste rose on top. Have a great birthday Alison xx

Music Themed Cupcakes

I made these musically inspired cupcakes for the good folk at the Commonwealth Bank who are having a little "Grammy" music inspired get together. I hear there is a red carpet to parade down and I'm sure there will be some great costumes. Enjoy your evening and I hope the cupcakes make it a little sweeter.

The decorations on the cakes are all edible. Musical notes, sheet music and some tiny Grammy look alike trophies. Cupcakes are Vanilla and Raspberry and Dark Chocolate with vanilla butter cream.

Pretty Little Cake

I made this cake to take to work yesterday for afternoon tea to help celebrate Karen's birthday. Everyone made some goodies we hope you had a fantastic birthday Karen.

This little cake is a 6 " { that's 15 cm } diameter and stands about 25 cm tall. Perfect for afternoon tea. It is lemon and coconut filled with lemon curd and vanilla butter cream. Then covered with more vanilla butter cream, so you only need to have petite slices. A little fondant cherry on top works nicely.

This pretty little cake looks great on a sweets table with an assortment of other goodies to indulge.

Matching cupcakes and decorated cookies along side would certainly please all of your guests. Contact me if you would like to try one for yourself.

Cupcakes for Cerebral Palsy Association

These cupcakes were ordered for a function hosted by the Centre for Cerebral Palsy. I adopted their logo onto the cakes, I hope the meeting went well.
