An Oscar themed birthday cake in shimmering champagne and gold. Sugar roses and piped royal icing design on the side. The only thing inedible is of course the statue. Couldn’t believe it when I seen Faye Cahill Cake Design post an Oscar cake a couple of weeks ago…...this is my interpretation of her cake – changed round slightly from her original design.
Layers of chocolate and moist orange cake filled with thin layers of dark chocolate ganache and generous amounts of orange curd swiss meringue buttercream, studded with chocolate orange chips and orange zest.

30th Birthday cake covered in Paul Smith inspired stripes. This stripes on this bad boy, from colouring, to cutting, to sticking took 8 hours!! A real labour of love. My only issue is that I used contact paper to cover black paper on the board and it looks dreadful! Last time I use contact paper over black….lesson learned. Fererro Rocher cake with nutella buttercream and nutella ganache :)

This is the first cakey thing I’ve done in 9 months as my kitchen has been getting renovated. Yesterday I decided to break out the gumpaste tools and make some roses – I actually only made one…...this one. It’s the first rose I’ve made that I have been 100% happy with, which is unusual! Lets just hope I can replicate it :)

This was a wedding cake I made this weekend for a couple who were having a blue and ivory as their colour scheme. I drew up about 6 different sketches all very feminine like my normal style of cake, but threw this one in to the mix as a bit of a curve ball and they went for it. Very different from what I would normally do, but I love how it turned out.
Bottom tier is Madagascan Vanilla Bean, middle tier is Pina Colada and the top tier is Mint Chocolate.

A cake made for a charity event in Perth for Perth Autism Support. This cake will be auctioned off today at a ladies who lunch event. First time making a magnolia!! Off cut of lace round the middle of the tier and a piped shell border round the base. Chocolate crunch cake with white chocolate SMBC.

A sweet wedding cake for a sweet couple – Peter & Kellie – friends of mines who have just tied the knot today. Such a lovely couple and I was thrilled to make their wedding cake.
This was my first four tier REAL cake and it weighed a ton! Bottom tier was ferrero rocher, third tier was pina colada, second tier was vanilla and the top tier was strawberries and cream.

A day of the dead cake for a 40th birthday. Madagascan vanilla bean genoise with a corresponding swiss meringue buttercream. Everything is entirely edible including the skull cutout on top.

A cute owl cake for my favourite and best customer Olivia who is celebrating her 1st birthday. Ombre green ruffles with a fondant cut out owl and branch.
Cookies and cream cake with a coat of dark chocolate ganache.

I was so excited to be asked to submit a cake to Cake Central’s magazine – this was my interpretation in cake of the three inspiration photo’s they sent me. I am so in love with chevrons so when I seen that one of the inspiration photo’s was a chevron table cloth I squealed a little :)

This was MY wedding cake :)

We had a small wedding, only 10 of us so only the bottom tier is real cake. I had such a hard time with this cake – it didn’t turn out like I’d hoped, I really felt like I’d lost my mojo with this cake, but once it all came together on location with all the little extra’s like the flowers and macarons, I fell in love with it.

It was almost impossible to photograph, but if you look closely, the middle tier has a white on white royal icing stencil.

This cake was a real labour of love – I loved the design, but working with black fondant and gold lustre is just a complete nightmare! This was for a gentleman’s 80th birthday who used to work as a 2nd engineer for the British India Steam Navigation Company before it was taken over by P&O. The cake was actually meant to have more striping around the base of the cake to mimic the striping on his uniform jacket sleeves, but my extruder broke – I was so disappointed. Anyway, everything is edible apart from the ‘BI’ on the logo – I didn’t have anything small enough to either paint or pipe that, so it’s just a print out stuck on top of gumpaste. The logo is hand cut out of gumpaste and then brush embroiered and painted with gold lustre.
This is a 6” square (5” high) with fererro rocher filling.

51st birthday cake – strawberries and cream, all hand made flowers and piped royal icing striping. This design was pretty much a rip off of a cotton and crumbs design, so full credit goes to Tracey for the design :)

Another 21st birthday cake this week! The bottom is a chocolate and peanut butter 8” extended tier and the top is a strawberries and cream 6” extended tier. A small bouquet of roses, hypericum berries and white filler flowers – all flowers and leaves are made from sugar :)

6” Banoffee cake for a 21st Birthday. First time doing quilting on a cake and I loved it – it’s so simple yet so effective. A big shout out to Peggy Does Cake for her fantastic tutorial on covering a cake board with scrapbook paper.

This is my most favourite cake to date – it is for my 2nd cousin who was christened a couple of weekends ago.

The cake is strawberries and cream (SMBC), covered in white chocolate ganache and then covered in Fondant.

I recently took the sugar flowers class that Jacqueline Butler has on Craftsy and it is wonderful – I couldn’t have managed this cake without it – but now I am HOOKED on flower making – it takes ages, but it’s so worth it.

This is a take on the fabulous cakes that Jacqueline Butler from Petalsweet Cakes does – obviously her’s are WAY better, but I do love the flowers against the dark chocolate fondant.
Anyway this was my non-wedding cake (long story) and it is sticky toffee sponge with english butter toffee SMBC with chunks of butter fudge.

21st Birthday cake for a friend. I used one of Rouvelees cakes as inspiration.

7” & 9” cakes – top tier was bounty and the bottom tier was fererro rocher.

A birthday cake made for a friends husband who is turning 50 tomorrow.

Chocolate orange cake with Terry’s chocolate orange SMBC.

8” Silver Leaf chocolate ferrero rocher cake

This is a dummy cake that I have just finished. I have been itching to make a dummy cake for a while and finally was able to source a company that could make me bespoke dummy sizes. I found a dress from Temperley London that I fell in love with and decided it would be a perfect dress to replicate in cake.
