Sugar Paste Creations

Just a couple of projects I was working on this week. Inspired by spring a colourful bunch of Eucalyptus blossoms complete with gum nuts and my personal favourite an adorable Chanel styled purse with Cymbidium orchids { my current favourite flower. }

To quote my son " Can these be eaten, " Technically yes, they are made out of modelling sugar paste but who wants to eat a Chanel purse? Covet yes, eat no. Anyway they look great on top of a cake for that special someone of course with a set of matching cupcakes they'd be perfect. Hope you like.

Blue Elephant Cupcakes

These decadent chocolate cupcakes with vanilla buttercream were made for a delightful young lady's birthday. You guessed it she likes blue elephants... so this is what I came up with and I think they have just the right amount of cuteness. Hope a great birthday was enjoyed by all.

Bron's 50 th Cupcakes

A colourful batch of cupcakes to celebrate Bron's birthday. It was a 1960's inspired party and the cupcake icing matched Bron and her daughters dresses perfectly.Thanks for the photos Bron and I'm glad you had such a great night.

High Heels in the Jungle

This was so much fun to make. An 8 " chocolate mud cake covered in ganache and topped with fondant which I then painted to look like faux leopard print. The little high heel shoe which I made out of modelling sugar paste adds the finishing touch. Happy Birthday Mariangela hope you enjoyed the cake. xx

60 th Wedding Anniversary

Just a quick peek at some cupcakes I made on the weekend for you guessed it a 60th wedding anniversary. I thought the little bird was kind of cute.

80th Birthday

This was a 5" traditional fruit cake decorated for a lovely lady's 8o th birthday, looks complete with a set of co ordinating cupcakes. Hope a good time was had by all.

Birthday Cakes

These are some cakes I did for sisters celebrating their eleventh and thirteenth birthdays. Sophie chose cupcakes with a black and white " dice " inspired theme and Lani opted for a larger chocolate mud cake covered with a dark chocolate ganache and topped of with a blue fondant icing. ( thanks to Planet Cakes new book for the recipe ) I hear you girls were given a very posh birthday treat at one of the city's big hotels...tres chic. Hope you enjoyed the cakes and had an awesome birthday xx
