Mickey Mouse Club House

Been a little while since I was here, but back now with some new cakes done over the last few weeks.  First is a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake, with Mickey, Minnie and Pluto sugar paste figures.  First attempt at Mickey Mouse and co, so will get better with practice!

Cake is chocolate sponge with chocolate butter cream icing, covered in sugar paste.

All Blacks Rugby Jersey Cake

Picked up a lot of flack from the Bok supporters for this cake!  Chocolate sponge with chocolate buttercream icing, covered with sugar paste.  Adidas and All Blacks logo are done with royal icing.

Baby Shower

Made these cupcakes for my sister-in-law to take to a baby shower.  Cupcakes were deliciously light vanilla sponge, iced with pink tinted vanilla buttercream and decorated with sugar paste baby faces.

Had a last minute order for a Mad Hatters themed cake and cupcakes for a client doing a charity function today, lots of bright colours, spots and stripes. Cake was vanilla sponge with creamy vanilla butter icing and cupcakes were double chocolate with crazy coloured vanilla butter cream icing.

Cupcakes

The cherry on top..... the cake was auctioned off at the function, fetched a ridiculous price and all proceeds went to the charity concerned. Full details to follow later.... :-)

Ahoy Me Hearties!

Well, I've just been given a serious talking to by my other neice because I haven't posted her birthday cake yet, so here you go Shan, hope I'm back in the good books! :-)

The pirate ship was chocolate sponge, filled with chocolate ganache and then covered in individual sugar paste planks.  The sails are made from sugar paste with printed icing sheets stuck over them with the lettering and the sand is brown sugar.  Pearls are made from sugar paste.  The treasure chest was made from sugar paste using a chocolate mould.

This next pirate cake was for a clients birthday and was vanilla sponge filled wtih vanilla butter cream icing, covered with sugar paste.

Mad Hatters Tea

This cake was for my neice's 11thbirthday.  Her theme was Mad Hatters Tea Party.  The cake was vanilla sponge with whipped white chocolate ganache filling amd was covered in sugar paste.  I cheated on the  teapot and used a polystyrene ball instead of sponge!

These traditional vanilla sponge cupcakes were for a Mad Hatters themed tea at a well known hotel.  They were iced with deliciously decadent vanilla buttercream icing and topped with sugar paste decorations.

Farmyard cake made for my nephew's first birthday. Base as chocolate sponge filled with chocolate ganache and covered in sugar paste.  Barn is vanilla sponge filled with white chocolate ganache and covered in sugar paste.

Okay, after months of trial and error trying to put this blog together, I've finally got to the point where I'm ready to do my first post!
