Tiffany Cake


My friend Catherine was having a 'breakfast at Tiffany's' themed party for her birthday this year, so had a go at making a bow with moulding paste brushed with some pearly powder. Used Eucalyptus paste and a bit of yellow colouring in vanilla buttercream to get the colour - inspired by Toni Braxton's wedding cake...silver hearts as inspired by the Elsa Peretti collection...

Retirement Dinner Cake



This cake was a white chocolate mud with cointreau (11" square) with a pale pink vanilla buttercream frosting for three ladies who are retiring from our school this year...

"Old-fashioned chocolate layer cake"




This is definitely my most favourite eating cake ever - I made it for Mum's Birthday from a recipe in the Death By Chocolate cookbook by Marcel Desaulniers...I especially love the chocolate frosting - which included 900g of icing sugar! Topped with Cadbury chocolate covered almonds...

Mum's Cream Sponge


Always Dad's favourite cake - Mum usually makes her sponge cake with cream and peaches or cream and jam - it never fails - we always made sure we were quick to get a piece before it went
at church socials and parties when we were kids!!

Jared's Pig Cake...


When Jared turned two he loved pigs - so Nanna made him this cake - this is my favourite sort of cake - a plain butter cake with yummy pink (it has to be pink for some reason) icing - chocolate cakes can be such a disappointment...
