Busy Busy Week here !

orders are filling up my diary for xmas

and the birthday orders just keep coming..

Im loving it !!!! ok well heres what kept me busy this week.

The first order was huge ! A birthday cake (giant cupcake) 12 decorated cupcakes, and 40 cookies for a young girls birthday.. here it all is ready to go... Everything was hand made and edible.. Many hours went into this order, started baking at 8am on Thurs and worked untill 2am Fri, then back into it at 6am finished the 2nd cake pictured below about 8am... Was alot of fun to do though :)

The next order was for an 18th cake which is going to Tambo... The cake was going to represent the woman with jeans on the bottom tier, a shirt on the second and a cowgirl hat on the top, however the person who ordered it wanted flowers and a cowgirl boot so we went with that... Cute little cake and I love how it came up! All edible and hand made by yours truely :) not sure if i put the pics of the riding boot in a previous post..

busy week !

Can of xxxx beer pouring into a glass... I still think this cake would have looked better if the beer glass had a handle on it ! but I can only do what the customer wants and she was not having a bar of me doing that lol

A lady wanted to make her daughter a flower and butterfly cake, she had bought the tin and loved the design on it but didnt know where to begin. So she emailed me a pic and measured the petals and I made it like she wanted, packed up all the pieces and sent to her... Sadly 2 butterflies passed away in the mail hahaha but i did make her 6 and 2 extra petals just in case. she baked the cake iced it and put the pieces on i sent her all the way to toowoomba ! and this is what it came up like. i love it so pretty.

Two tier 21st cake... fondant and buttercram with home made decorations...

and the last one for the weekend ... our little cousin Charlotte turns 5 on Tues and had a party with friends in the park... This one i handed over to Carly who did a wonderful job yet again !!!! its a marble cake covered in butter cream and decorated with fondant flowers etc... the picture is now her placemat at mealtimes ! just printed it out, added some glitter (thanks Joy ! ) and laminated it. Something she can keep and something that was nice but easy and quick to make on a hectic cake weekend :)
