Most popular summer cake yet

And what a pretty dozen we made...

We pretty much covered all things Christmas-y this holiday with the one exception of Cupcakes! Arguably, we saved the best till last (or last minute!).

Fancy a Christmas Pudding but not a fan on the real deal? Pudding Cupcake!

Wanted a Winter Wonderland this year? Snowflake Cupcake!

Or perhaps you were after just a pretty looking box with some nice ribbon and bow... take your pick! We have them all covered...

Even with our own Santa and Santa's belt after a few too many Christmas treats ;)

We're almost there, just one last cake to decorate on the morrow and then it's time to celebrate.

Merry Christmas everyone and thank you so much for the support this year. As always, couldn't have done it without you. xxx

With a bit of christmas sparkle!

Pretty things for a pretty girl~

Bunting, flowers, butterflies.

Pinks, orange and yellow.

Aww....

Merry Christmas, in German.

Why?

Been baking a lot of German-inspired cakes, biscuits and more cakes recently... just like the Black Forest Cake below with tons of whipped cream, kircsh, cherries and of course, chocolate shavings. Ginormous cake for a fundraising event... Think it was pretty popular! And we also made the even more popular Japonaise. Love the texture, the more layers, the better!

Not to mention our gingerbread, cheesecakes and other goodies for the holiday season.

Kris Kringle morning tea means... CAKE!!!

Baked Cheesecake for Santa and his helpers (this was a real treat, it was gone in seconds). And the best Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting for the reindeers... and all the rest of the people who stopped by!

Thought for a second that we'd never finish two cakes (didn't think there were that many of us!) but all gone and no crumbs left within the half-hour. Amazing.

We're becoming addicted to these sky high cakes... 4 layers of moist chocolate cake with lashings of hazelnut whipped chocolate ganache frosting in between and topped with handmade chocolate truffles with whole hazelnuts. This one is a real treat!

Inspired by the Ferrero Rocher... it's definietely beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Got up really early for this one. We had a huge Christmas party to plan, cook and host and this cake had to be made the morning of another big party starting right on noon!

Lucky for us we're super organised!

4 layers of sponge with fresh cream, mangoes, peaches, straeberries and kiwk fruit. With more whipped cream and marshmallow flowers on top. Oh my...

8's a lucky number and this grandma is turning 85. Celebrating with her family and close friends. What a day for her :)

10 days till Christmas!

Making mini versions of everything to share the love. Christmas Cakes (the traditional fruit kind, having been fed with brandy for weeks and weeks) has been iced, packed and gifted, posted, sent away, eaten... nom nom.

And even brought a few of our cookies into the office to share. And yes, we've been very multiculter this year with our people. Yellow, short (chubs) shortbread man and skinny (better looking), dark gingy. And yes, it was a coincidence that it turned out that way...

Had am amazing day in the kitchen and thanks for our helped Donna today for her awesome contribution to decorating all our Christmas cookies today!

Made this yummy looking mummy and baby sized white chocolate and lemon mousse baked cheesecake with scorched meringue. Looks good, tastes good, smells good and made for sharing.

This afternoon was time to get stuck into more Christmas baking.

We finished our second batch of Belgium Cookies, made Passionfruit Shortbread, Sugar Cookies, Gingerbread boys and girls and...

THESE AWESOME GINGERBREAD HOUSES!!! ... A WHOLE CITY/TOWN/VILLAGE of them!

So much fun to make, bake and build and build and build. There are surprises in these too. Can't wait to gift them and share the love! Each house has their own sleigh and welcoming Tiny Teddy too.

And we even had some spare minutes to come up with these genius cookie christmas puddings. Again with surprises inside!

A beautiful day for a beautiful wedding overlooking Sydney Harbour.

Double tiers of both White Chocolate Passionfruit & Hazelnut Dark Chocolate complete this cake. These are gourmet flavours and on our favourites list! Sharp edges to highlight the cake (alas, if only we could make them all perfect like those you see in wedding magazines), large flower on top and ribbon to accentuate. The stenciling definitely brings a more traditional and elegant theme. White & gold ribbon is in stark contract to the black ribbon we had on our 3-tier cake in November. Elegance versus Chic one could say.

Another busy week coming up. Christmas baking and Birthday cakes are calling. Time to finish with a big bang!

...Wynwyn's Place was prepared!!!!!

Huge Huge HUGE weekend for us.

We had wedding samples to prepare, a double 2-tier wedding cake to start and of course... IT'S THE HOLIDAY SEASON WHICH MEANS BAKING BAKING BAKING!!!

Tons of cookies, almond bread, more cookies and we even threw in some red velvet cupcakes. First round of Christmas orders all set! It's only going to get busier from here... but...

We Can't wait till next weekend... we're doing our Gingerbread House challenge ;)
