Cakes Cakes and More Cakes

So it seems I have been missing in action for a while. Not intentionally of course but life just got very busy for a couple of months and I got out of the habit of posting pictures. So it's high time I checked in and shared with you some of the baked and decorated goods from the last few months.
On the cake front things were very busy. There were many varied designs produced, even did some cupcakes which I hadn't done for a while.
Teaching and keeping up to date with class projects also occupied a fair bit of time but I love spending time with the students and find them quite inspiring. They surely are lovely bunch of gals, talented to boot.
There was also a magazine shoot, my first. More about that tomorrow. I have to wait for 1st October when the publication is released then all will be revealed.
So life has been busy but then aren't we all?
So without further ado and in no particular order I will share some of the cakes I made in the last little while. Hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by. Tammy xx

Buon Natale

Another Christmas in July cake for this weekend. Not too Chrismassy, but I couldn't resist putting that big fat frilly Peony front and centre.
It's wet and cold and blowing a gale outside so all that yummy Christmas fare should go down a treat.
Thanks for dropping by and have a relaxing weekend. XO

A new Royal Baby how wonderful. XO

30th Birthday Cake

I love to try something different and when the cake is a gift from me to someone special that is the ideal opportunity to design something a little bit unique.
When I thought about this cake I wanted something a  bit sophisticated with a big statement flower and somehow I wanted the cake to convey movement with the petals of the blossom.

This is what I came up with. The cake is Almond and Orange Gluten Free with a dark chocolate ganache. Happy Birthday Vivianna.  XO

Christmas in July

Hello
For all our friends who live in the Northern hemisphere you may think we've gone slightly nuts  here, but I have to declare some people in Australia actually do celebrate Christmas in July.
Usually this takes the form of a dinner party with a trad. Christmas dinner. You know turkey, all the trimmings, Christmas pudding,  bonbons, mulled wine all of the usual suspects. I'm guessing some people even go for the gift giving. Why do it?

Well, in Australia we're currently in the middle of winter, its actually raining outside now and will be about 5 degrees tonight. That's chilly for us. It is the complete opposite at Christmas, which falls during the peak of summer, when its hot, hot, hot. ( Christmas 2012 it was 38 degrees Celsius )

So, I guess some people just like to have Christmas dinner when its cold and wintry.
Having enjoyed quite a few Christmas celebrations in the northern hemisphere I get that,
but before you get any fancy thoughts, sadly turkey is not on the menu tonight.
Actually my husband is cooking steak on the BBQ in the rain, but lets not try and explain that one. Sometimes its just good to sit back and appreciate life's little mysteries.

So without further ado this is the cake I made for Ute who is celebrating Christmas in July tonight. It's also her birthday, so big birthday hugs and kisses Ute. Enjoy your cake and that turkey. xx


P.S. Hope you keep warm or cool  where ever you are in this big old funny world. xx
