Burger Birthday Cake

Wow I really enjoyed making this cake... it was a great way to practice a few of my skills even though it was very easy to make.
It was for my god-daughters Dad who just loves Wendy's but lives in Palmerston North so doesn't have it often, he's always asking if I've brought him Wendy's when i arrive there from Auckland!


All entirely edible apart from the cup which I got from Wendy's, the lady who served me loved it when I told her what it was for. 
The cake and burger buns are white chocolate orange mud cake, covered with vanilla buttercream & then fondant. All other bits of the burger & the fries are fondant.

Baking for Hospice- May. Shortbread Hearts

It was once again time to donate some baking for hospice... an event I look forward to every second month.
The theme this time was love & marriage, I decided a simple shortbread, shaped into hearts & dipped in dark chocolate would be appropriate. I added a little cherry essence to the cookies for added flavour. I hope they were enjoyed!

Easter Cake with eggs-tra special bunny

A fun mini cake with a cute bunny topper, made especially for someone with a soft centre.

30th Birthday Cake

I made this cake for a dear friend who has moved to the states, but happened to be back visiting over Easter and for her 30th Birthday. I wanted to make something bold & classy... and of course it had to feature ginger flavour!
I went with a caramel mud cake with a hint of ginger in it, layered & covered with white chocolate buttercream... and some hidden crystalized ginger in between the layers.

I handmade the roses and allowed them to dry overnight, cut out coloured fondant circles and placed them over the white fondant.

The '30' is made from wooden numbers which I painted black then covered with individual sticker backed diamante's.

Tall Dark & Handsome

A decadent mini cake filled with all the perfect components, what's not to like!
This was a chili chocolate layer cake with sour cream/dark chocolate ganache & dark chocolate panels, topped with a tender heart. Made with someone special in mind...

 

Black & Red Birthday Cupcakes

I made these funky cupcakes for my best friend's birthday... a selection of different black & red themed fondant cupcakes. Inside was a lemon honey cake.

 

Luck of the irish...

Here are a few cupcakes I threw together to take to my training course on St Patrick's Day... my creativity was on vacation with the 'Irish' theme... but I quite like the finished garden type cupcakes. They were easy and I'm happy with the finished look.
