Camping theme cake



Always a blessing when asked to do a cake. My Pastor's wife asked me to make a cake for our church's pastors 40th Birthday. He is a God fearing and loving man, who serve our church. He loves the outdoor and he loves camping. This cake is a gluten free chocolate cake cover in Italian meringue butter cream with royal icing pipping of grass. Really hope he loves the cake.

Wedding cake



What an honor to be part of a wedding. This cake is a simple but elegant cake that was inspired to match their wedding invitation. The top monogram of the cake is the exact font like the wedding invitation.

Soccer ball and jersy cake



It was a challenging making this soccer ball cake. This cake is a citrus cake cover in lemon and orange icing. The cake is made for a friends husband who is a big fan of the Sydney FC soccer.
Quite happy with the result and really hope they like the cake looks and taste.

Happy New Year.



Been a busy start of the year. Been baking so much, especially macarons.
As you know I love macarons ! Just can't get enough of these little tasty macarons fills with creamy fillings. I love watching them rising up to produce those little feet, and the wow looks when someone take their first bite. This is my very first international traveling macarons. They will be traveling all the way to New York as a gift. I really hope they will survive their journey and make it thru customs.

Christmas ornaments cakes



So blessed to have my ball cake tin and my cake book arrived just before Christmas.
Been wanting to make these for a few months now. With so many macarons orders this year, I didn't even have the time to bake Christmas cookies to give to family and friends.
Made these on Christmas eve and hoping that it will turn out for Christmas days to give to my church friends. Unfortunately with only 3 medium balls you can make from 1 tin, i just manage to make 2 batch of the cake, ending up with only 6 ornaments. It was a trial and error to cover the cake, ending up with only 5 balls. The cake is a orange citrus cake cover in chocolate.

The Royal Crown.




Was so happy to be asked to make a year 6 graduation cake for Crydon public school.
Their theme is ROYAL. This cake was fun to make BUT it really took heaps of time.
The first crown I've made was a big fail. The outer white rimes just cracked and fall apart. So this one is the last minute at might night attempt. I guess it wasn't the way i wanted to be but at midnight it just have to be.

I wasn't happy with the draping also with this cake. Really wish i have the industrial roller to roll the fondant on to the cake. Really hope the year 6 is happy with this cake.
Everything edible except the cake board :)

How I love cake tins and pans


Is not long before Christmas and I'm hoping that my cake tins I've ordered from the state will arrive. This morning is here !!! Can't wait to bake and make beautiful cakes.
