Erinna's 18th

I was asked at the last minute if I could make a cake for Erinna. I didn't have the time to do any baking but told the customer that if she made the cake, I would decorate it. I actually like the simplicity of this cake. The white icing has glitter over it just to give the cake that extra touch.

Devonte and Daijah's 4th

This is the second time I have been asked to make a cake for these littlies. I was asked to make something with a Star War's theme for Devonte and something girly and glittery for Daijah. The R2D2 was in my lovely moist banana cake and Daijah's cake was rich chocolate.

Shaolin-Nate's Wrestling

Now for something completely different. I have never had to make a wrestling cake before and had a couple of trial runs with the rope around the posts before I got it right. The little wrestlers around the outside are plastic figurines but the two in the ring are made out of fondant.

Izzy's Snow White

This cake goes with the below cupcakes. Izzy was having a Disney party and was going dressed as Snow White. She only had a little cake as she also had the 20 cupcakes but it think the whole thing looks really cute. Snow White is made out of fondant and completely edible.

Izzy's Disney Cupcakes


Here are the cupcakes I made to go with the Snow White cake. The Minnie Mouse cakes are strawberry flavoured and the Mickey Mouse ones are vanilla. They both have white chocolate icing and are then sprinkled with sherbert. I had quite a production line going when I was making the MM faces but think they turned really well.

Sash's Leopard Print

This was a cake the customer had sourced off the Internet. Both tiers were covered in black spots. The bases of both cakes were surrounded with over-sized fondant balls and a big bow (which I was very proud of). I had my doubts about this cake for a 1-year-old, but the finished product was really cute.

Mr Whiteman's Cupcakes

This was a last minute order for one of the the teachers at Hutt Central School. He asked me to make half a dozen cupcakes for him to take to his wife's work for morning tea. The cupcakes are chocolate/caramel with white chocolate icing coloured pale green. I then added some royal icing decorations to make them look pretty.
