Golf Ball Carrot Cakle

This cake I made for a friend's husband for his birthday.  It's a carrot cake with cream cheese icing, white chocolate golf balls and white chocolate drizzle.

There are pecan nut halves decorating the base and top of cake as well.

Simmi's Elephant

I made this cake for a competition in a magazine. You have to send them a photo of your child with their birthday cake, so although Simmi's birthday is in December, I made this cake especially for the competition because it ends on 15 July 2011.

Above is the photo I entered.  It's quite cute I think, and shows off the cake nicely.  I completed the cake at 23h00 last night, and Simmi was very excited when I told her it was her cake.  She's used to all the beautiful cakes going to other people :-).

This was another fun cake to make.  I used a ladybird moulded tin to bake the vanilla sponge, and then turned it into the elephant.  It tastes good too, but it really broke my heart to cut it!

Pink Flower

This is a vanilla birthday cake for a friend.  I love the pink & brown together. 

This is a huge cake which took a double batch of cake mix.  I torted the cake into 3 layers and filled all the layers with buttercream icing.  Hope she enjoyed it!

Carrot Cake & White Chocolate

This was a delicious cake that I baked to take away on holiday.  I covered it in lemon & cream cheese icing, and then made a white chocolate collar, and drizzled white chocolate over the top to create the lacy effect.

Ballerina Bear

I made this cake for a little girl's 6th birthday.  I must admit that I didn't enjoy icing this one as much as I expected.  I used a white chocolate ganache icing to do the base coat, and it was very difficult to work with as I was trying to cover a dark chocolate cake.  The dress was much more difficult to do than I anticipated as well, but in the end, the result was quite cute and the little girl loved it.

Motor-X

I am exceptionally pleased with and proud of this cake.  One of the things I find really difficult to do on a cake is "less".  I have to constantly resist the temptation to put too much decor on a cake because I have so many ideas sluicing through my brain!

The bike itself took about 3 hours to complete, and all the intricate detailing was very difficult for someone who doesn't really know anything about how bikes work!  I'm very pleased with the result though, and my client loved it, which is the most important thing.



Flower Power

I made this cake for a surprise birthday for two friends at work.  It was a fun cake to do, and I particularly enjoyed the dragonflies.

The cake was flattened by all the staff at work, and fed about 30 people which I was very pleased with.
