Graduation 2011

Another year has passed and I wish all of the kids a fantastic future it has been a pleasure knowing each and everyone of you.

Its beginning to look like christmas

Wow its the first of December not long now to christmas folks myself is not ready yet but thought I would start to get into the spirit of December.
This little christmas wreath is done on a plaque so you can take it off the cake and keep the writing in the middle is not edible. This was made at my first cake course on tuesday.

Irish cake

This was a exciting one for me to make as I have a strong irish background. Weather wasnt that nice to me as it was humid and found my figure on its back after a humid night next time it will go straight into fridge but normally its not a problem. Customer was delighted and that just made my day.

Hockey Cake

Everyday you learn something new is a good day - Hockey in australia is way different to ice hockey that they use a ball and not a puck and the shape of the sticks are different!!

wedding cake take 2

Matt and Karen asked me to make another wedding cake for a BBQ get together so I just had to make this one look girly as the other one was a cricket cake. I love the vibrant red

Luke skywalker - Starwars cake

This was a cool cake to do, you never know what a client may ask you to make, it certainly keeps me intrigued and loving my job!

Circus cake

Oh how much fun was this cake I loved making this one and learned a thing or 2 while doing it. My darling daughter helped me on this cake she made the clown,elephant and also the lion clever girl at 13!!

Photo cake

I had fun doing this cake - although a simple cake the little things you add make it a great cake. Not girly girl cake but dont you just love the black and white theme?

xbox 360 cake

My baby ( well not so baby now ) Son turned 12. He and his mates are all such xbox mad, I just had to make him one for his birthday! The funny thing was when they were trying to turn on the xbox with the switch- He also promptly told me there was a small button missing to open up the cd slot- oh well cant get it perfect all the time.

Vw car - Royal show entry that I won 3rd Prize in!!!!!!!!

Omg I won 3rd Prize wow I am so excited my first time entering and I won something totally awesome!
Just think I almost didnt enter because Tony didnt think it was good enough well how wrong was he! Now I have bragging rights that he was wrong. I didnt even take good photo's ha now I will not doubt myself as much again!

Helicoptor cake

Helicopter cakes are not as easy as they look but did have fun making this apart from my household critics were telling me what I should and shouldnt do!
They do give some constructive critisim but sometimes you just dont want it when you are trying to work something out lol
I did have to do a little repair in the morning the tail was a little bit long for the support so I had to make it a little shorter so it didnt look like the helicopter crashed. These were the photo's before the tail did a dive during the night- tail was made from LCM bars so it was lighter. The blades also rotate. In this Video you can see them in action this was done after the repairs so the end product.

Manchester United shirt

Ben is 14 (where did the time go?)

I really needed a little bit of help with this cake as I was quite tired from a busy week so caleb to the rescue!  He is airbrushing it, he made the tick and cut out the name and letters for the shirt. Ben and family loved it.

Cupcake Tower

What a whirlwind of a week sports carnival for me at school and then making this cake for Sarah and then back for more sports on friday phew! I must say all ovens have there hotspots and I was the unlucky one to find mine on thursday when 5 of my lovely cupcakes had a black bottom oops, and to boot I didnt have anymore hotpink muffin cases so in future I will make sure I have more than I need. I was just lucky it was late night shopping and I could buy more. I love my cupcake stand it looks great for something I made myself! Enjoy.

I can also make a cupcake stand in different colours. You get free hire when you buy your cupcakes from me approx cost per cupcake is $3 each.

Photo cake - Guitar

Do you ever just have one of those days where things dont seem to go right? Well that was me Thursday and Friday. This is a lovely simple cake but for me turned out to take that bit longer than needed. Thankfully it all turned out in the end. One thing I learned always have back up plan and make more than you might need. (one of my guitar snapped of but I had done too many so that was a life saver)
