Good Evening All,

Well as promised earlier today, I am going to tell you a little more about the frosting.
I made...  Strawberry Mousse Frosting for Vanilla Cupcakes.  I found this awesome recipe for the Mousse Frosting, as well as the recipe for the Strawberries with Crackling on a Blog by Nina Timm called My-Easy-Cooking.
Although her recipe called for Vanilla, I couldn't find the Vanilla Ingredients that I needed, so I used Strawberry instead.
Once I had added the Frosting, the Cupcakes came out looking so yummy.  And my two clients that each got there dozen both raved about them.
I don't think I will be making Buttercream Icing for my cupcakes again.  Can't wait to try out all other flavors.

So here are the pictures of the Cupcakes, I hope all like them. One with out the Strawberries, and a couple with the Strawberries.

More pictures on my gallery.
So until next time, have fun.

Good Afternoon All,

Oh my word! I am in total Awe of a new frosting recipe I tried this morning.  It was like tasting a little piece of heaven, and I can't wait to share it to you all.....  But you will have to wait till this evening to see what I cooked up in the Kitchen.

In the meantime, I would love to share with you a couple of pictures that my "Superman" client sent me of her sons birthday.  She did an amazing job of decorating the classroom in the Superman theme, and Joshua looked like he was having an absolute ball!

These were her wonderful comments:
Thank you very very much for Joshua’s beautiful cake.  Thank you for everything.  Here are a few pics of the party.  Everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly.  I really can’t tell you how impressed I was.  I thought later I was in such a hurry to set everything up and I might not have shown my enthusiasm.  Everyone was impressed.  The cake tasted delicious.  I truly appreciate everything you’ve done.  It all looked so professional.  I will refer people to you any time.

 Decor for the Superman Party










Decorations done around the Cake









The Birthday Boy!  Joshua.





Until this evening, Have fun, and Enjoy

Good Morning All,

Beautiful sunny day in Cape Town today, although a little chill in the air is keeping the Jersey on.
But regardless of the weather, I am still running around like a busy little bee, and loving every moment.

Well, as promised, I have another cake which I did for yesterday.  I really enjoyed doing this one (Actually, I enjoy doing everyone I do).

Nowadays, so many children are asking for Ben 10 or Transformers, or the new craze. Spiderman! but for a nice change, I got to do SUPERMAN!

And with Superman, came a dozen Sugar Cookies with the Superman Logo.

So, here are the pictures for all to see.

There are more pictures in my gallery.
Well I am now off to do more work.  Have an order to finish for Friday. I have a bunch of Red & White Balls to make for Sunday, and I need to get started on a couple of Panda Bears!

Until next time, Have fun.

Good Evening All,

Well golly gosh!  what a weekend!  Just finished putting together a cake for Monday morning (Tomorrow).
But before I show you that one.  I would love to share with you the one I made for a little One year boy who had his birthday yesterday.

Yes, people.  MICKEY MOUSE IS IN DA HOUSE!

It took me a lot longer to put together than I thought it would, but boy! was it worth it.
Although I cannot take credit for the design, (The client gave me a picture of what she wanted).  I did do all the hard labor on this one.

So here is the picture.  I do hope the client and of course Ardenne liked his cake.

There are more pictures of the cake in my gallery.

And YES!  there is another cake coming!. That one is a little more "out of this world", and is for another day.

So until then,

Have fun and enjoy

Good Evening All,

Well I had a busy weekend. So I have only now managed to get a little time to post something for you.

Made some yummy Red Velvet with Cream Cheese cupcakes on Friday for an existing client. (It's great to know some of them just can't get enough)  The support is also greatly appreciated.

I posted some pics of the cupcakes in my Gallery.

On Saturday I made a very special 40th Birthday cake for a very special lady.  Was so happy to know she loved it!  She is a big fan of Chocolate and Mint, so I made her a chocolate cake, and added some Mint Oil Essence to the Fondant and all the flowers Got some Mint in them as well.

So here is the cake I made below.  And I have posted a few extra pictures.

Have fun, and enjoy.

Good Evening All,

Phew!  Another week gone!  Where is this year disappearing to?
Well, even though I have had a busy week, doing preparations for the month ahead, I managed to squeeze in a Hydrangea!
Yep, hope you all like the hydrangea I did with my new cutters.
It was quite a finicky process, trying to get all those flowers together in a bunch and not to break any.  But I think they came out quite nice.  Now all they need is a cake to put on.
Hope you like the pics below.

 Next week I have Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese to make, as well as a 40th Birthday Cake to make.  Need to make about 80 little flowers for the Birthday cake, so I best be on my way.
Until next time, have fun

Good Afternoon All,
Gosh! Is that a week gone already since I made the Cookie Pops?
Been a hectic week. Not baking, but looking after a sick child at home.  Who has now also kindly given me a cold!
Sadly, I don't have anything to show this week, but I have a big month coming up, and will have plenty to show soon.  Have some great Kiddies Birthday cakes I will be making over the next few weeks, and I am super excited about each and every one of them.
Plus, I am busy planning my daughters 5th Birthday cake.  (No Picture Cake this year.  Looks like I won't be getting away with that idea anymore)  She has grand plans for her cake.  It's going to be ..... Hmmm, it's in October, and all I am going to say is it involves the Disney Princesses.

And finally, for those who are on Facebook.  Go have a look at "Creative Cakes by Julie"  she is based in Australia, and her work is absolutely amazing!  I hope she doesn't mind me mentioning her name.

Until next time, have fun
