Hi All,

Today I get to show you 2 Wedding Cakes, and 2 Mickey & Friends Cakes.  This is what I have been doing the last couple of weeks.


Mickey & Minnie along with 2 dozen Cupcakes.  I love this design, and the cake came out beautifully.  I don't know who the original cake designer was, but it really is a lovely cake.  The Number 1 on top of the Banner is really not that easy to do! Lol.  Hope you all like the cake.  The clients were over the moon! 


Next I did this beautiful Wedding Cake for an existing client.  My first attempt at a Bird Cage.  Also a beautiful design which the client created on paper for me to create in cake.  Also came out so pretty.


Now there may be a bit of de ja vu on this Mickey & Friends cake.  That is because I did one very similar to this last year.  Also love this design, and can't believe it took so long for someone to ask me to do it again.  The client was extremely excited when she saw the cake.


Today I dropped off this pretty Chinese inspired cake.  (The couple are not chinese, but there Wedding theme was).  At first I was sceptical, but once done, it came out beautifully.  The client really wanted a fan on top of the cake, but we just could not find a small fan anywhere (Even in China Town!), so we stuck to the Chopsticks, Bride & Groom Fortune Cookies, and some pretty Red and Torquise flowers.


This just so happens to be the back of the cake.  So it can even be turned around to look like the front of a cake if they wished.  Lol.

Well, until next time.
Have fun

Good Afternoon All,

So today I have quite a few cakes to show, so I will get right into it.

Firstly, I recently got to design and make a special line of "Makeup" for a lovely 7yrs old.  (Her own special line of makeup).
I made the cake out to look like a dresser draw with the makeup on top, and the young girls picture (Looking like she is looking in the mirror).  The effect came out really nicely.


I made some quick yummy cupcakes which went with a Mermaid Picture cake.


It is not often I get to make a "Man Cake"  But I loved the idea of designing the cake for the young mans 21st Birthday Party.  I am especially happy over the Cake Topper.  It came out exactly like I wanted it to.


The very next day I had another 21st.  The weather played havock to the Fondant 21s, and right up till the last minute, I was trying to get them to dry again.


This past Friday, I made these really cool Cake Pops for a Baby Shower.  I loved the way they turned out with the packaging.


Although the original design is NOT mine, and I have no idea who's it is.  The cake came out so cute!



Got to make these cool Baby Shower Cupcakes as well. (Total Cake overload!)  Lol. Loved doing the faces.  Took me a little over 2 hours to do 12 Cupcake Faces!


So until next time.
Have Fun

Good Evening All,

So it has been a while since I posted some new pictures.  I am going to get right into the lot!

The first one was a bunch of cupcakes for a boy who turned 9.  Wasn't too easy, as there was no specific theme to these.  What I decided to do was do them in the Yellow & Green colors of the South African Proteas Cricket Team (As he loves cricket).

Next was a quick cake that I did for young girl turning 13.  Because the balloons were made from fondant, and quite heavy, I opted to put them on wire, plus the bonus with the wire was I could twist them to look like the balloons were floating.


As you saw previously with the Yellow & Green cupcakes, these were for the same boy, but this time with the whole Cricket theme.  I had so much fun making the Cricket Bats, Balls and Stumps for the cupcakes.  And was really happy with the way they turned out.


My daughters friend recently turned 6.  The school only allows sheet cakes to be brought in for the children, so I did an edible print picture cake with her favorite character (Although at 6, the favorite character changes on a weekly basis!  Lol).


This one was one of my favorites.  I got to design makeup!  My first try.  Loved it!.  Made the cake look a little like a Dresser with the mirror and a picture of the Birthday girl.  Really came out nicely.


These were just a quick batch of cupcakes made with pretty princessy colors.


So until next time (Hopefully you don't have to wait too long again).
Have fun!
