Paul's Calculator - $100

One of my more unusual requests. This cake was to be a surprise for an accountant - hence the calculator. I was a bit worried as it wasn't looking quite right, but then I put the 'paper' coming from the roll at the back, with Happy Birthday written on it, and the whole cake seemed to come together. The client was very pleased with the result, as was I in the end.

Heidi's Stars - $120

I was asked to make a 30th birthday cake only using the colours white, black and red. I cheated a wee bit and added a touch of silver and it all looks lovely. I made the '30' explode out of the cake by splitting the top of the cake and peeling it back. Also I put a cascade of different sized stars pouring down the side. It has turned out well and looks like a 'party in a cake', which is what the customer wanted.
