Carolyn's Pig - $120

Finally, the last one for the week. This week has been very busy with cakes being made for Thursday right through to today. I was rather taken with this fetching little lady pig. She is made out of a glutten-free lemon cake and lemon icing. The cake board has been covered in a brown fondant and the little pigs are also made out of fondant.

James's Car - $130

What a cutie! The little cars are made completely out of fondant and I have painted in the windows with edible silver paint and put in a couple of silver balls for headlights. The candle is made out of fondant rolled around a real candle so it can be lit. I am super happy with this cake and loved making the little cars.

Rob's Shoe - $110

Oh, oh, look at this. It's the first shoe cake I have ever made and I am in love. The cake is just the shoe box and the shoe is all made with fondant. If I saw this pair of shoes in a shop and thought they would fit me, I would buy them. Tons of gold glitter and some gold balls on the flower. So decadent and feminine. I hope I get more shoe cakes to design.

Catrina's Stars - $120

Another version of the ever popular Star Cake. I was very happy with this one and the colours all came together nicely. The funky candles suit it perfectly.

Shae's Fairy, Butterfly & Flowers - $130

What can I say - this cake has jumped to the head of the line where favourites is concerned. I love, love, love the colours. Another thing different is the fairy wings. I am using a new fabric and sequin wing set rather than the leaves I was using before. These are so superior and look just right. I want to do more of these cakes as this one was so enjoyable to make.

Butterfly Cupcakes - $2.50 each

This was an addition to the Butterfly, Fairy and Flower cake made for Shae. The cake is a vanilla cake made into rainbow cake with the help of some food colouring. The top was vanilla buttercream icing which I then sprinkled a dusting of lime green glitter. On top of that was a fondant daisy and a small butterfly in matching colours to the cake. Beautiful.

Lily's Madagascar - $130

What fun I had making the characters for this cake. I love how they turned out, especially the penguins. The giraffe was a bit of a challenge so he has a long kebab skewer in his neck to keep him upright. The two characters on the top of the second tier are called Pat and Stanley. I had never heard of them but apparently they are Lily's favourite tele characters. Love it!
