Dougies Birthday Cake !

Yabba Dabba Doo !

Happy Birthday Dougie !

This is the last cake for the week...

This cake is white cake with butter cream icing,

then covered with fondant.. The windows, paths, car,

tree, mailbox, door, Fred and dino are made of 

gumpaste. I was going to have pebbles and 

Wilma to but just decided to have an early night

instead... He wont mind as Fred is his favourite ! 

 Have really enjoyed the week (not so much the 

2am finishes to get things done) but will be nice 

2 have a day without a cake too... 

I get tomorrow off 2 celebrate with him and

then back to it with a cake on Tues... 



3 tiered Christening cake (my pride and Joy)

I was so proud of this cake... Spent many late night on

it making all the decorations.  As much as I loved it when it

was finished and didnt want to see it go.... It scared me half to death as well as it was the first time I had ever made 3 tiers and fully iced with fondant ! It was also the first time i had to have boards on all 3 levels, hidden supports and a centre dowell 

through all 3 tiers to stop it sliding.  Was a little unsure but had researched it over and over to make sure I was doing it all correct.... Now it will be fine, was scary but i did it !!! and I loved the end result ! 

Three girls from the one family were being christened. All different ages and different likes, Mum came to me with some ideas and we worked together to come up with what you see. 

Baby booties, Princess and Horses... I then tied them together with the three different sized flowers to represent their ages (large for the eldest, medium for the middle child and baby ones for the little baby) When mum came to pick it up she nearly cried ! Was the most amazing feeling !        

Easter Cookie Bouquets.

Cookie Bouquets for Easter ...

These were first drawn then hand cut because

I didnt have any easter cutters. 

I then put in some little plastic eggs with some

M&Ms inside to hide down in the grass of the nest

so the kids would get some extra fun when

they found them :)

 

Scrapbook Page Theme Cake.

This was for a lady turning 40. Her Family wanted

a scrapbook page with a picture of her as a baby.

The cake is iced with butter cream and all the 

embelishments are made from gumpaste and fondant.  



Top Secret Flinstone pre work for Dougies Birthday Cake.

Was going to make Dougie a coke glass with a coke can pouring the drink into it but because of all the pipes and construction, and the lack of time and his birthday being at the end of easter...I will have to save that for another time.. He loves Fred Flinstone so have decided to make his house, car and yard. Have been working after he goes to bed at night and have got the roof with Dino coming out the chimmeny, Fred and his car, and a few others things made... The Girls wanted this to be a surprise so we have it under lock and key and work on it when hes not around !

Fred Flinstone

and his car

And his ever annoying but loveable pet Dino . Will post more pics of

the actual cake on Monday sometime.

it all colorful when cut. Ring tin used on top layer and

filled with m&ms for a surprise when cut into.

little gumpaste princess

This little lady we called Sally... hahha like to give them names !

she is about 10cm tall so only a baby.. was rather a challenge to make. To give you an idea of her size her wand is a tiny star on a small piece of dry spaghetti. She and some other princess things will go on the 2nd teir of the 3 tiered Christening cake next weekend.

Shoebox and shoe cake.



Gumpaste work for upcoming cakes ..

This is a gumpaste shoe for a cake I am doing on Sat.

The cake will be a fondant covered shoebox with 

the shoe sitting on top and the bow is just for some added decoration at the bottom corner of the box.  

These little baby booties are about 10cm long

(very fiddly to make) they are for the top teir of a 3 tiered

christening cake for next weekend. Gumpaste has to be 

made ahead of time so it has time to set up! 

I had some extra gumpaste left over so made a few little extras

not sure if they will make the cake but they will make it to someones cake ... I just store them in airtight containers once they harden and they are good to go for when i need them :)    



Rat Bag Cake
