cella's tea party featured in cosmo pregnancy and the party dress magazine!

earlier in the year i styled this gorgeous tea party for cosmo pregnancy. although it was for a 2 year old, it would also perfectly suit a kitchen tea, birthday party or baby shower....!

read more about it in the current issue of cosmo pregnancy aswell as issue 2 of the party dress magazine- both out now!!

a very cuoooot owl christening cake!

this cake turned out pretty cuoooote!! the bottom tier was designed to match the invitation and maria wanted to incorporate a cute owl somehow.. so this is how it turned out! unfortunately the lighting was terrible that day and i am so disappointed that i didnt get a photo that captures how sweet this cake was... can someone pleeeeaase order it so that i have a good excuse to make it again??!

i also put together a mini dessert table with these cute little buttercream cupcakes, meringues and mint balls all to match the colour scheme and owl theme. the cute little bomboniere cookie jars were supplied by polka dot cookies.

pretty lace wedding cake

i think this is my new favourite wedding cake design!

julia and geoff's wedding cake

i really really really love my job!


i made this cake for the sweetest couple, julia and geoff, their wedding was yesterday at the beautiful dunbar house on watson's bay and they wanted a simple cake with a blue and white colour scheme and bird toppers. the rest was up to me and she was looking forward to the surprise.... i didnt realise how much pressure that was- to surprise someone on their wedding day!

i was SO RELIEVED (and so happy!) today when i received the loveliest text from julia saying that they absolutely loved it, that the wedding was wonderful, the cake was delicious and that the cake made their night! oh that is just so so so lovely to hear and it makes my job so so so rewarding! 

*sigh of happiness*

i was going through my flickr favourites and came across this tasty tom selleck cake by flickr user the small cat club... this really is my favourite cake ever! i was upset when i saw it was classed as a hairy cake wreck once...a cake wreck?! it is nothing but awesome! here are a few more of my favourite cakes ever that i have found on cake wrecks...

 

peaches + cream kitchen tea!

 

 

this kitchen tea was ALOT of work! it was so so so gorgeous but unfortunately there was so much to do that i didn't have time to take photos :( !! here are a few pics that i managed to snap and here are the details...

the kitchen tea for 30 guests was held in a beautiful house in woollhara, on a lovely sunday may afternoon... *sigh*

nathalie made the most gorgeous invitation and papergoods based on her oh-so sweet range and i made a single tier version of my pink lace peony cake to match. other sweets included; vanilla bean cupcakes, lemon meringue tarts, vanilla bean scones, french macarons, sugar cookies, turkish delight, honey meringues and bon bons.

the tea selection included- english breakfast, chamomile, peppermint, chai, china jasmine, madagascan vanilla, strawberry and cream and peach! i sourced all the extra bits and pieces that i needed like tea pots, tea cups,  cake plates, vases, servingware, etc, etc all from the vintage kitchen (jo was so, so helpful!)

i used a mix of peach, pink and cream david austin roses and they just completed the sweet /vintage/ tea party look.. along with the doilies. 

and finally the drinks list.. besides all the tea .. included san pellegrino lemon and orange, sparking water and peach bellinis.... 

.... it was my perfect kind of party! when will i be invited to one.. of my parties...??!

lollipop love!

 

my poor flickr has been a bit neglected lately... i love flickr, it changed my whole life and it is why i am now doing my hobby as business. it was also such a great place to 'meet' so many wonderful people who share a love for all things crafty and cakey...

one of those lovely people is jenny, from lollipop workshop, i have always LOVED her work- she has the most unbelievable sense of colour and cute! i thought i would share some of my favourite pics of hers.. i am dying to make a cake with one of her toppers one day!

visit her flickr here and her etsy shop here!
