peach peony + doily

i was quite in love with this sweet little engagement cake! it looks a bit more pale than it actually was, but the pretty mint and peach colour scheme was just so lovely!

flamiiinnngggo! and wisteria paper

i love, love, LOVE flamingos! i was so excited when i was asked to make a cake and cookies for a baby shower based on this gorgeous invitation design by wisteria paper... what an adorable theme!! i wasn't really sure where to start with the cake topper- it seemed like a bit of a structural challenge but it turned out so cute and i made hand painted cookies to match the style of the invite with a cool retro~tropical theme thing happening! cute, cute, cute!

oh and i am crazy in love with all of wisteria paper's designs be sure to check out their etsy, facebook and stall at the olive tree markets...!!!

spatula icing, peonies and hydrangeas!

i am so proud of this cake! it is my largest and most detailed cake to date, the realistic style sugar peonies took forever to make- so, so, so many petals! but it was all completely enjoyable because i was so excited to see the result! and ta da! oh and best of all it was white chocolate and vanilla bean mud cake with white chocolate, cinnamon and cardamon filling- yum!!!

i am so super proud of my latest sugar flowers... a few weeks ago i saw these peonies in a florist- they were the most perfect peonies i had ever seen... they were $40 for the bunch... so i hesitated.. but they were sooo pretty!!! anyway i bought them and i have been dying to make a sugar flower version since... so ta daa! ..

pretty wedding cakes

 here are a few pretty wedding designs that i have made recently...

novelty classes at planet cake!

a couple of weeks ago i attended the novelty 107 dragon and novelty 108 wine bottle class at planet cake! CC was a really great teacher, i learnt HEAPS over the 6 days and added a few new skills to my list... like airbrushing, using gloss and structuring 3d cakes... i probably still wont be making too many novelty cakes too soon but it might come in handy one day...!

the best thing is that i gave the dragon cake to nathalie's boys (who took it to school) and later i received these sweet cards in the mail- oh! so adorably sweet!! it totally made my day! but the wine bottle ended up in the bin, i am sorry to say.. i just didnt have anything to do with it and my friends are sick of me giving them cake!

cute heart favour cookies...

its official- these cute little heart cookies are officially my favourite bonbonniere, they have been quite popular lately and i LOVE how it matches any colour scheme so delightfully! thanks so much to caity for sending me this pic of her hen's party setting- it is so gorgeous!!
