Paige Turns 11!

So my daughter celebrated her 11th birthday over the long weekend and well, there was no getting out of making a cake for her 😄
She requested sunshine, pineapples and flamingos!!! I wanted to do something with buttercream rather then ganache and fondant. Besides who doesn't love a good buttercream cake!! I also wanted to use cookies as the decorations rather then making fondant ones. I've seen a few cakers use cookies round the place, but one caker who I've admired for quite some time does it do well that I couldn't resist recreating one of her designs. So design credit for this cake goes to Spoon and Fork. I do love the end result of this cake and it tasted delish!! Happy birthday Paigey xx

Bella Turns 2!

A cute little mini 2 tiered cake with matching cookies for Bella who celebrated her 2nd birthday over the weekend. Mum Cassandra wanted 5 little duckies to go with it as well. The cake was a 4" on top and a 6" on bottom. I had a bit of fun with this, never done a little mini 2 tiered! Hope you've all recovered after the dreadful bug! Happy birthday Bella.

Happy caking.

My Sisters Wedding Cake!!

My sister Maria got married on NYE here in Townsville, it was so nice, except the weather!! Here's a picture of the wedding cake. Now let me see if I can say this and make sense of it!! Each layer has 3 layers within in it, one being carrot, another being raspberry mud and the other chocolate!! So when you got a slice you got a piece with all 3 flavours of cake!! It was like a mini explosion of flavours in your mouth!! It was pretty cool. Guests were also given some cookies as thank you gifts. These were gingerbread flavoured, cause that's what we like!!

Cookie Favours!!

Proof I can make things other than cupcakes!! Here's some babyshower favour cookies I made for Rachel who presented these to her guests recently. These were a mix of gingerbread and vanilla flavours. I should also mention these were of course hand made and baked from scratch!! So if you need cookies in the future remember me!!
