Good Evening All,

So tonight I have quite a few cakes & cupcakes to show & tell.
A couple of weeks ago, I had to make a ton of Chocolate & Vanilla Cupcakes!  184 Cupcakes, along with 173 Tiny Red Roses.  The Red Roses were all hand made individually (No moulds in site!).  I am still suffering with pain in my hands and fingers from all the frosting. Lol

Along with the cupcakes, I made a Strawberry flavored 20cm Round wedding cake.  The design on the side was hand painted.  And the lovely Heart Topper was made by hand using fondant.  The heart Topper was a lovely idea I got out of one of the Wedding Cake Magazines that I saw and the clients loved.

I than made a cutesy little Lion cake.  I loved doing this cake, as it was the first lion figurine I got to do and was totally happy with the outcome.  And I totally love the beautiful bright colors that come with the cake.  The scroll on the board was also hand painted.

This past week I was tasked to make some Chocolate cupcakes for a 9 yrs old.  Trying to come up with a grown up yet not too grown up idea was no easy task for a boy.  Girls you can always glitter away.  9 yrs olds.  Not so much.  Lol.  I eventually decided to go with the Yellow & Green colors.  The reason.  More because the are the colors of the South African Proteas (National Cricket Team).  And since the next batch of cupcakes I was going to do for him was cricket themed, I thought it would be a good idea to get the ball rolling. 

But before the Cricket cupcakes.  I made this beautifully cerise pink, black & white cake for a young girl becoming a teenager.  The cake inside:  Rainbow cake!

Then on to the cricket themed cupcakes.  I thought they came out really really nicely.  I do hope the young boy is going to love them when he sees them. 

So, until next time.

Have fun

Good Evening All,

Well, as usual, I am a little late on posting pictures.  So here goes:

A couple of weeks ago, I made a Ton! of Cake Pops.  Not many bakers favorite thing to make in the world, as there is just so much that can go wrong with those nasty little balls on a stick!.

I had a request for a wedding to do Chocolate flavored Cake Pops coated in Chocolate.  Seemed simple enough.  NOT!  Cracking is a major thing, but I did manage to salvage them all by recoating for a second time.  Once they were all done though, they looked pretty awesome.
Now just to wait for the married couple to send me a picture of them on there specially made Cake Pop stand.  In the meantime, you will all have to make do with my amateur photos of them stuck in boxes.

A total of 126 was made.

Then I got to do a gorgeous little Pink & White Baptism Cake.  The name on the board was hand painted.

This really came out perfectly the way I wanted it to.  And the client was very happy.

This past weekend, I made a cake completely opposite to what I did the previous weekend.  This was for a 8 yrs old boy who really wanted a shaped Skylander cake.  The design was pretty much taken from about a million other pictures of the same design on the Internet.  But it came out a whole lot better than I imagined it would be.  And the birthday boy LOVED! it.  

So until next time.

Have Fun
