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. :)


To give up my day job... or not? 

I wish I was there to see this cake being cut! Stunning centrepiece fit for a garden party.


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 mud cake topped with oreos, raspberries, macarons, meringue, lavender, rose petals and a whole bunch of beautiful flowers and a couple of rings of rosemary. It's rustic and so summer!

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 population...

Okay, so I really like pink as well and Caz (Zoe's awesome mommy) had great eye for detail in what she wanted - I love it when people know what they want as it definitely makes my job easier. So really, all I had to do was bring it to edible cake life.

As with anything else, the decorating is the most fun. I like the baking bit too (to me, it is therapeutic) and the stuff in between are just steps in the process. Not boring but not necessarily fun either. Constructing the cake... now that's fun and the sense of accomplishment at the end of every cake makes it so worth it. 

My favourite bit here? The pearl cross and the flowers around the cake. Kind of whimsical and beautiful at the same time. Helps bring everything together and I think so much more appropriate than the big gumpaste roses or flowers you see on other Christening cakes. They remind me more of wedding or engagement cakes rather than Christenings and cute things for young ones. 


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 :)



4 birthday celebration event!

We rather like it, do you? Sort of garden meets bouquet meets butterflies meets sunflowers meets fresh grass. And it was a really summery cake with mangoes and strawberries, nectarines and kiwi and lashings of whipped cream between a triple layer of sponge.

Mid-week (most of your might refer to it as 'hump' day). And what better way to give flower than to give edible blooms? Pretty pastel (and rather bold red hues) cupcakes. We've got a fair bit going on here with the butterflies and mini daisies to the hand-made flowers with edible pearls. Sure to brighten up the rest of someone's week!


Happy Hump Day!
 Ruffle flowers and pink icing... what's not to like??? WE LOVE THIS CAKE!

Sour cream chocolate sponge with layers of Oreo buttercream. Yep, cookies and cream and chocolate. Are you going to say no??? Smells good AND looks good!

A couple of tricks with the cake. We baked the layers separately as the cake is quite soft. And the more oreos you add, the better it tastes! Take time to pipe each row and let the buttercream sit of a while if it gets too soft.

And the key to making flowers...? Toothpicks are your best friend!

Very excited for the birthday girl. Hope she has an awesome birthday dinner with her friends tonight. :)
