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.

Wizard of Oz - $110

I was rapt with the result of this cake. The four little characters were difficult - hence the higher price of the cake - but I was pleased with the end result, especially the little Toto sitting on Dorothy's lap. The cake is covered in buttercream icing, except for the yellow brick road, which is fondant icing, dusted with a gold glitter. The Emerald City is also fondant and has been heavily covered in gold and emerald glitter. I especially loved the grass (thanks to my daughter Anna for that icing tip) with the varying sizes of poppies. This is a beautiful cake with a definite 'wow' factor.

Amy's Fairies - $110

I have been playing around with creating a Fairy Cake that isn't quite so over-the-top as the toadstool one. This is a very simple cake with two fairies on it and the name of the birthday child. The fairies can be in any colour you like and I will put a corresponding colour boa around the outside of it. The icing is dusted with a holographic edible glitter which makes the whole cake sparkle.

Funky Explosion - $120

The colours in the photo don't do this cake justice. The instructions I was given for this cake was 'make it funky'. I'm not sure what funky meant but everyone was ecstatic about the results so I must have got something right. The bottom layer I covered in lime green fondant and decorated it with a paisley pattern in hot pink, purple and orange. The next layer was in hot pink with silver stars and hearts stuck around it. Both layers were divided by a ring of silver balls of varying sizes. Then I decided to make the '13' look as though it was exploding out of the top of the cake so did a split top as you can see in the photo. The '13' is emerging from a pile of silver balls and there are balls, hearts and stars on wires also shooting out of the top. All in all, I was very pleased with the effect and the colours.

Mermaid - $100

Little girls love this cake because not only are they getting a mermaid cake for their birthday, but they are also getting a doll to play with (after she's been washed). This cake is actually made with two cakes. The first one for the 'ocean' and the second for the 'rock'. The whole thing is covered in buttercream icing and I have placed lolly fish around the outside. The rock has coloured sugar dusted over it to make it look like sand and some chocolate shells placed here and there. The tail is made from fondant with my trademark bling painted on it, so the mermaid sparkles. A lovely cake with the added bonus of lollies and a doll.
