teddy bears picnic

one of my favourite memories from kindergarten was the day we had our teddybears picnic, i brought my favourite teddy bear (sarah), tiny teddies and honey jumbles to school ... so fun! anyway! it is such a cute party idea and i made these cupcakes and cookies for a little boy's 1st birthday.

i made them to match nathalies very very cute invitation, but i made them a little more boy-y and the mum wanted some pandas and bees aswell.

i made these retro space cupcakes the other day! they were inspired by imprintables space party invitations and i think they were also subconsciously inspired by this super cute card my lovely sister got me for my birthday earlier this year.

threadcakes!

i haven't decorated a cake or cupcakes just for fun in a really long time, so im seriously thinking about making the time to enter this years threadcakes competition.... hmm!

threadcakes is the most awesome cake competition based on threadless tshirt designs, above are a few of my favourite; The Cat Who Mistook His Wife (and the Kids, and the Furniture and Even the Parrot) for a Hat, clean monster, mr cloud's new scarf, spoiled milk. 

i think the hardest part will be picking a design- there are so many to choose from!

macarons- ooh la la!

i made macarons for the first time the other week, they were SO delicious! it makes me really miss paris- this time last year i was there and eating so many pastries- *sigh* heaven!

laduree!

souvenirs

while i was in singapore i was able to pick up some more japanese candy to add to my collection! i am OBSESSED with japanese candy- especially puccho, a while ago i made puccho cupcakes for a friend and it has since become one of my most popular designs on flickr:

bridal shower

i have been looking forward to this one for ages! we were asked to put together a small cake table and favours for a bridal shower held at The Tea Room Gunners Barracks. we were given the design breif of blue, apricot and birds.  

nathalie custom designed the perfect invitation which made it easy for me to design some cute matching birdcage cookies. i have wanted to make a peony sugar flower for ages, i love blue and apricot and have had this cake design in my head for a while now.  i sourced some cute vintage milk glass vases from etsy and cake stand from a local antique store. i then just got mixed 'nanna style' flowers to suit the old fashioned milk glass look.

it was all really beautiful and the venue is gorgeous. i was really happy with how it all turned out, i just wish the lighting was a bit nicer (and i had a bit more time) to get some better photos- oh well, that always seems to happen!

back from singapore

i have just got back from singapore! i was there for 9 days attending robocup 2010. i was at the venue for 16 hours a day so i didn't get to do too much sight seeing but the few things i did see and do, i loved.

i really loved the colourfulness everywhere, the pic on top was taken in china town where all the buildings were an english style in all different colours- so so pretty! i really loved the cityscape and the view from the singapore flyer, and i loved all of the desserts! the fruit juices, sago desserts and ice kachang were so so so good!

it is nice to be home, but i already have to get back to work! this week i have to make a few dummy wedding cakes, do a photo shoot and put together a bridal shower- eek!

love love love!

here is another sneak peak at the photos i have been working on for the new imprintables website. this has always been my FAVOURITE imprintables design, i just love love love it and i really love the way this photo turned out!

inspiration!

inspiration for an upcoming wedding cake- oh i can't wait to make it!
