Farewell Dr. Ben

Well, I've been off to a busy start this year. It's almost March already! I loved doing this cake as I've been wanting to do one of these sorts of cakes for a while, so was thrilled when Veronika placed an order for another 'doctor' cake.  Sadly though it was for her very favourite doctor who was relocating north.  Veronika is one of my 'frequent flyers' and I've loved every cake she's ordered.   I'm playing with an ANZAC cake for her husband's battalion, so watch this space!

Game On

This was a cake order that my kids were eagerly waiting on. The very lovely Veronika had ordered a 'Call of Duty' themed cake for her son's 17th birthday, and I hope it didn't disappoint.  Having not had any experience with the game itself, I had to do a bit of homework on this one. 

The cake was a double layered cake completely covered in fondant.  Mr. Call of Duty skeleton man was also made with fondant as was the features on the sides.  I did use real bullets around the base of the cake. My husband did go as far as contacting the governing body to ensure that it was legal to use them as accents next to the cake. 

This was a really fun cake to do.  Happy 17th!

Is There A Doctor In The House.

This was fun cake to make.  A lovely lady contacted me to make a cake for a young doctor at the Mater A&E.  The young lady was from England and away from her family on her birthday. Veronika order the cake to help make the day special for her.  

The cake was 10"x10" double decker Signature Chocolate cake with buttercream. 

Taking It For The Team

Happy 21st Ty.

I loved doing this cake for Ty's 21st.  His mum Melanie & I met on the first day of year 1 which seemed like yesterday but was actually 43 years ago. She choose a Lakers jersey as they had a family trip to the USA and actually watched the LA Lakers play inbetween a fantastic adventure around Las Vegas.
The cake was my Signature Chocolate Cake with Buttercream covered with fondant. The cake was placed on an 18"x14" cake board for size.

Congratulations to the New Mr & Mrs Woods

 On July 4th our son Daniel married his beautiful bride Jamie-Lee at the Brisbane Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints.  It was beautiful.  Everything about the day was as beautiful and elegant as the bride herself.   

They chose the Brookfield Hall  for their reception, right next to the Brookfield General Store where we all went to celebrate their engagement. This setting leant itself perfectly to their rustic wedding theme. Dan & Jamie-Lee choose a buffet style afternoon tea that was put together by her aunties. They were amazing! I can not forget to mention Jamie-Lee's gorgeous grandmother who was ever so patient waiting for me to arrive the day before with the tablecloths and runners I had made.  She whipped those table  setting into place.  Chairs were perfect as were the centrepieces.
It was an absolutely perfect day.  

We used honey from our hives for the bonbonniere.

Cupcake With That Chia Tea Anyone

Thank-you to Jacquie & Sue from Brighton State School for giving me the opportunity to provide you with 100 cupcakes for your Chia Tea Stall. It's hard to go past my Signature Chocolate Cupcakes which were the pink rose piped cupcakes with fondant leaves. Though the Vanilla is a close second. I wouldn't leave out our Gluten free friends either on the bottom photo with a small butterfly. 
I also made the ladies a completely, totally yummy Triple Lemon Cake. This cake is made with a beautiful lemon cake, lemon's straight from the tree, which is then layered with both freshly made lemon curd and lemon buttercream. OH MY GOSH its good! I'm not one for eating the left over anything, but we had some leftover lemon buttercream. Another OH MY GOSH!! That was sooo good!! 
So once again thank-you ladies.
