Dedas 94th Birthday Cake




We are blessed to still have Gregs granddad still with us at a ripe old age of 94, he is just brilliant, so alive, so with it and a joy to have around.
I had the privilege of making him a cake, and because he is so special i decided to make him a super special rainbow cake, 6 special layers of gorgeous colour, a time consuming but truly rewarding surprise to cut into :-)
And once again my signature rose piping, i love that piping it is so easy but so pretty...

I want to attempt another rainbow cake again because it is just so much fun!

Anyone out there tried one?

God Bless Y'all

Cookies 'n Cream




These are the cookies and cream chocolate cupcakes i did for my uncles 50th Birthday, everyone enjoyed them but personally i think i need to find a yummier, richer more chocolately cupcake mix, thats the only thing i would change.
Starting to get good at doing the rose piping now which is great!

Bella's Beauties





Then i got the awesome opportunity to try a cupcake tower for my gorgeous nieces 1st birthday, that was so much fun, this was my first real "job" and it took me a full 5 hours and 45 minutes to complete, boy was i exhausted after these, but it was so worth it.

These are super vanillary cupcakes with a fresh raspberry filling and bright cream cheese frosting, hmm YUMM

I bought the little fondant flowers for times sake, but did everything else myself.

Brings me so much joy to see people delight in the sugar HIGH!

Sorry this is such a short post, but its been a long day and a hectic night with the kiddies

Till tomorrow

Night night Y'all

The Journey begins




So one day i just decided i love to bake, i got a really satisfying feeling from letting my creativity loose with sugar, and then seeing others get joy from looking at and eating my creations...

This is somewhat where the journey began and this is my son Jordan's 2nd birthday cake. As you can tell he is a little car fanatic, i don't know how it started it was a really natural journey into the love of cars, and he can be entertained for AGES playing with his XTRA Large array that he is so blessed to have.

This was a hummingbird cake which if you've never had one is full of pineapple, banana and pecan nuts as well as the usual cakey goodness...
The icing is cream cheese frosting my all time favourite frosting to use because it is SUPER Delicious!!

So here i could enjoy letting loose with colour and Dr Seuss madness and i just love the result.

What do Y'all reckon?
