Leah's Tea Time - $30

This cake turned out a lot better than the picture shows. It was my first international order! A woman in the US emailed me and asked me to make a cake for her sister-in-law who works in Wellington. She wanted me to deliver it to her workplace as a surprise. I have made the letters out of crimson royal icing and then coated them in crimson edible glitter - gorgeous. The flowers and grass are made out of fondant. The flowers are in three sizes and vary in colour from the palest pink, through to a solid crimson. Looks great.

Tea Cake (3) - $30

This is a more traditionally iced cake. The cake itself is a vanilla cake and the icing is strawberry flavoured buttercream. I have tinted the buttercream a delicate pink. A real girly cake. On the top I have sprinkled some pastel 100s and 1000s just to make it special.

Tea Cake (2) - $30

Another little tea cake. This time it is a banana cake which has been iced in my special lemon curd buttercream icing. I have decorated it with large fondant daisies and a fondant bumblebee. Cute!

Tea Cake (1) - $30

I had some little cakes (6") left over when I did a bake last week, so ended up decorating them and sending them off to the local school for morning tea. They went down a treat so I thought I'd post them on my blog so you can see them too. These are perfect for taking along to a morning tea. This one is chocolate with a chocolate buttercream icing and then decorated with fondant flowers.
