Pirate Cake & Cupcakes

No Comments »

What little boy doesn’t love a Pirate (or little girl for that fact)?

Pirate Cake

Cake was Chocolate with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting and Sugarpaste Detail.

My client ordered the cake for J and then 48 cupcakes for the adults. Vanilla with Caramel Creme centre, Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting, Red Velvet with Cream Cheese Frosting and Chocolate Chip with Chocolate Frosting.

Smurfette Cake

No Comments »

This cake was requested (and designed by) two little boys who wanted a special cake for their mum’s birthday. The specs were colourful, flowers, pink and a Smurfette on top.

So this is what they got:

Smurfette Cake

Cake was Double Chocolate with a Caramel Cream Filling, covered in Vanilla Buttercream and then Sugarpaste Detail.

The mum, and boys, loved it and I believe that there was not one crumb of cake left – that’s good yes?

Thanks for looking.

Superman Cake

No Comments »

This cake was for one of my regular (and favourite) clients.

Superman. Every little boy’s superhero – yes?

Superman Cake

Again, Vanilla but this time with Caramel Creme filling and then Sugarpaste Detail.

My biggest joy when creating these cakes is the look on the kiddies faces when they open the cake box and see what’s inside – worth every minute I spend creating!

Thanks for looking

Tennis Racquet Cake

No Comments »

My client was a 7 year old little boy who has a great love of tennis. He decided on a Tennis Themed Birthday Party and of course wanted a Tennis Raquet Cake too.

Simply a Vanilla Cake with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting – this is my most frequently asked for flavour. It seems to be a favourite amongst moms who don’t want their kiddies eating chocolate. The strings of the raquet are royal icing and the rest of the detail is sugarpaste

The tennis ball is a giant cake pop covered in sugarpaste – yummy!

Thanks for looking.

Kit Kat Cake

No Comments »

My eldest daughter recently celebrated her 14th birthday – and this is the cake she requested. She often sits and browses my YM Facebook Page, and I think that she had seen it there.

However, she wanted it topped with Chocolate Easter Eggs as opposed to M&M’s (which it is normally topped with) as her birthday was the day before Easter Weekend.

Birthday Kit Kat Cake

 As I was over the wall with a wedding order I have to admit that I did not bake the cake myself – I bought a Woolies Chocolate Sponge and simply decorated it. Unfortunately the cake was not as tall as the kit-kats used, so I had to cut them, which you can see. But she loved it – and that is what counts the most!

I have to admit I think there was just too much chocolate!

Thanks for looking!

Ben 10

No Comments »

 

Ben10 was the first Character Cake I made, and this design (created by a fellow baker friend of mine) has proven to be popular time and time again. I love this cake, and more so, love the delight on the little boys (or big!) faces when I deliver it to them.

Ben 10 Vanilla Caramel Cake

This was a Vanilla Cake with Caramel Creme Filling and frosting with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting and Sugarpaste Detail.

Chocolate Mousse Wedding Cake

No Comments »

Chantelle recently tied the knot and her wedding cake request was for Chocolate Mousse Cupcakes, together with a small Chocolate Mousse Cake that her and her new husband could cut. The cupcakes would then be served as dessert.

Each cupcake was topped with a swirl of Chocolate Mousse Frosting and then some were decorated with an Ivory Sugarpaste Gerbera.

The 10cm cake was frosted with Chocolate Mousse frosting, and then surrounded with Dark Belgian Chocolate Pencils and topped with fresh gerberas.

Simplicity at it’s best but I’m sure you’ll agree that the overall look is quite breath-taking!

It was Taylor’s 4th birthday on Saturday, and she asked me for a Hello Kitty cake.

So this is what she got. A very pink, very girly, Hello Kitty carrot cake, frosted with Vanilla Buttercream Frosting and a sugarpaste Hello Kitty.


And a few Hello Kitty Vanilla Cupcakes to go with the cake.


Sweet hey?

Christening/Dedication Cake

No Comments »

When asked to do this cake for one of my regular clients I was so excited!

Her 5 month old baby boy was being dedicated, and she wanted a biblical cake to mark the occasion.  This cake was just perfect – well I thought so anyway.

Noah’s Ark.

Isn’t it gorgeous?  I only did 4 animals around the front of the cake, purely because no-one sees the back of the cake, and she wanted the focus of the cake to be on the Ark, not the animals.

I loved the result.  And so did she :)
