80's Theme Cake

Designed for an 80's themed birthday party, this rubik's cube cake was made with chocolate mud cake. The Prom Queen figurine topper was modelled to resemble the birthday girl who was wearing a tiara, and sash. I love making the figurines...this time I added pupil details to her eyes.

Pink Birthday Cake

This pretty pink cake was created for a beautiful little baby girl who turns 1 today. The design of the cake was "In the Garden" and was based around the tree. I have seen a few fondant trees similar to this online, and I wanted to create my own - and the design grew from there. The cake is a 7" chocolate mud cake, with chocolate ganache, then covered in baby pink fondant. I was really happy with the design of this cake, and every time I look at it, it makes me smile :-) Happy Birthday Sadie!!

Mermaid Cake

This under the sea themed cake was created for my beautiful niece's 6th birthday. She really wanted a mermaid on top, and this one was made to match her invitations. The cake is a 7" chocolate mud cake, and I finally managed to perfect not just beautifully smooth fondant, but nice sharp edges too! YAY!!!! All of the decorations were hand made from fondant, and included fish, an octopus, coral and sea weed.

Ben 10 Cake

This cake was for Jaxon's 5th birthday who is the biggest Ben 10 fan. It is a vanilla butter cake with vanilla bean buttercream icing. I modelled the "Goop" figurine from fondant, along with the letters and the 100 green and black balls (I don't know if there was 100...but it seemed like a lot) I am really enjoying making figurines at the moment, they are a real challenge, for me anyway. I am currently working on a mermaid for my niece's cake and a little girl for a friend's baby who is turning 1 in a couple of weeks....pictures will be posted soon!

Farm cupcakes

First day back to Kindy from the June/July school holidays, and as Jack's birthday was on the weekend, I have made these cupcakes for him to take and celebrate with his friends and teachers. This is the first time I have used this grass icing tip and it was so much fun! The fondant animals were leftover from my Rocky show entry, so it's nice to see them on a cake to be eaten! The flowers were also leftovers from my recent flower garden cake, although I did make some red lady bugs and flowers, and I think the hints of red really brighten the display.
