Kitchen Tea: Lilac & Stripes

I've had another extremely busy weekend (and week building up to it)! With a wedding in the Blue Mountains followed directly by a Kitchen Tea back in the Sydney CBD, it was always going to be a logistical challenge. I did have an amazing (and rather cold) time away outside of Sydney on Friday evening and Saturday before...

One of the best yet!

I'm at a point in my life ("career"; the day one) where I'm not quite sure if I'm staying or if I'm going so this lucky girl (and boy) were extremely fortunate to be able to catch me in town to do their wedding cake. It was a case of 'maybe' for a long time! 4 mega tiers of Vanilla Coconut, Chocolate Peppermint and...

First cake in back in Sydney

Hello Friends! It certainly has been a long time. This one feels like a practice cake as you can see the drips are well not really drips... more like blobs. I knew I'd be busy back home but not entirely sure how busy! This was a small chocolate cake with vanilla bean buttercream and random lindt balls, kit kats,...

Japan Special: Baking in a tiny ktichenette

Ohayo from Tokyo! This has got to be one of my most the most crazy things I thought I could pull off: limited space, limited resources, no electronic equipment (I did buy a set of cheap egg beaters, they literally died after 5 minutes), NO OVEN! But world had gotten around the Tokyo office that I baked for fun and...

60: Aged to Perfection

For those of you who don't know, I am on hiatus aka, shipped my operations to Tokyo, Japan. No seriously, apologies in advance but I will not be taking any orders until August 2016. This was another special birthday - my old man's 60th.  And we had a BIG party (it's said that the organisers of the party never...

M&M Wedding Cake

Three tiers of red velvet and white chocolate mud cake at one stage I thought was going to melt and just make me cry (like the time Maxxie ate a corner of my huge chocolate cake that was for a customer the next day when he snuck into the house...). My third collaboration with Chau who comes up with all these briliant...

36 hour macaron marathon

300 perfect macarons resulted. Don't ask me about the failures! And of course, there's never enough work around so I have this BRILLIANT idea that I would handpaint with gold all of the white macarons. That just added another 4 hours, no big deal. I always envisioned that packaging and wrapping boxes would...

Monkey See, Monkey Do

A cute little cake just before the official start of the Chinese Year of the Monkey!  Another one where I had a stress attach over the humidity and heat throughout the week. I'd even remedied the ganache in preparation for this weather but it was still so soft! So it was 10 minutes in the fridge, 5 minutes, repeat...

meltdown

Summer, you and I have a love-hate relationship. I love you when I'm at the beach. But I want to kick and scream and ball my eyes out when I have cakes to make! The last few days have been 35+ and this is not cake baking and decorating weather. Please be kind to me this weekend. Sincerely, Super stressed baker. ...

Of birthdays and flowers

It's like a crown of flowers and macarons on a cake. I reckon I could put this on the 'wish list' when others want to make a cake for me. :) ...

In Bloom

Definitely one of my favourites to do ever! Three cakes, three different sizes and a matching theme. I would gladly do this for birthdays, engagements, weddings, you name it. It all just looks so majestic and elegant and stunning. Fit for any occasion... Here we have red velvet cake, golden butter cake and white chocolate...

God Bless Zoe

Officially the first cake of 2016: God Bless Zoe! And she was just the c-u-t-e-s-t little girl! And I have to say that I am so happy that it was a cake for a girl! If you look back at cakes I've done, boy cakes are definitely more often requested than girl cakes. I hope that's not saying something about Australia's...

The Bride's favourite colours

These may be the prettiest cupcakes I've made in a long time. Rose cupakes in ivory, pink and purple and they are just so pretty and beautiful and delicate looking that I wouldn't blame anyone if they didn't want to eat it! Bomboniere cupcakes for a few close friends of the Bride and Groom at their wedding dinner just...

Christmas 2015

Every year, I move into December with this feeling of trepidation. There is this tangible knowledge that the days until Christmas are numbered (not that they weren't before but there is now this sense of urgency) and with everything else happening around, time is so precious and short. Fruit cake, gingerbread...

Southern Comfort

It's been awhile and I must apologise! Times flies when you're juggling too many things. I've had a few pretty cool requests coming through since arriving home (did you miss me?) and I was even responding to emails during my few weeks in Tokyo. Having the opportunity to stay in the middle of the city (smack bang near...
