Random cake made for a dinner i went to.

Practicing my craftsy class techniques but i was too rushed.

Vanilla/golden syrup cake, vanilla crumb coat, fondant. Hand painted with gels and alcohol. I needed to let the fondant dry for a day before painting but only had half an hour. looks pretty good considering. Definitely want to try this again with more time.

23rd birthday cake for Pat, my MGL friend. 

I asked him what he wanted and the requirements were: Chocolate, shield and cross and flame.

This was my creation.

Carved chocolate swirl cake covered with chocolate Swiss meringue buttercream with fondant topper and fondant banner on the board. It tasted incredible!

Joseph's 2nd birthday.

This was a lot of fun. This is Hoot from the kids show "Giggle and Hoot". Joseph and his mum came to my house to keep me company while we decorated this. When I made the eyes he kept saying 'snails, snails!' haha.

the head was chocolate cake and body was vanilla cake. I covered him in vanilla buttercream. I then cut out and sculpted all the additional pieces and put them in a box for her. She assesmbled the cake on the day so that the fondant wouldn't absorb the buttercream before the party.

My best friend wanted a croquembouche for her 18th and i was keen to deliver. The top photo is the practice one, i made about a week before hand. the second is the final product.

Choux pastry filled with Italian homemade custard, dipped in toffee with spun toffee and viola's. I made the cone myself out of cardboard.

It tasted incredible and we were both happy with the result. VERY TIME CONSUMING though. :)

Josh's 4th birthday cake.

This was a bit of a rush job, i told the mum the night before i'd do it. He wanted a batman/spiderman cake, this is what i came up with,

Vanilla cake, vanilla buttercream, fondant plaques, lettering and boarders. Icing writing gel for the spiderweb. 

This was my first 2 tier cake and i didn't use any supports so it started to sink. Still looked good and tasted great.

My 19th birthday, I had seen lots of ombre cakes and wanted to practice.

This is a blue ombre effect using vanilla buttercream on a vanilla cake.  Reasonably happy with how it turned out.

This was so much fun to make. 3rd birthday cake for the little boy i work with. He asked me for this cake for weeks and every day i came to work he asked whether i had the cake with me. He was so happy when i brought it to his party. I wish i took a picture of his face when he saw it!

Vanilla cake, vanilla buttercream topped with various lollies/cookies and licorice.

The board was covered with paddle-pop sticks and green coloured coconut stuck to the board with green buttercream.

I was very happy how smooth i got the butter cream.

This was the first cake i took seriously. It was my own 18th cake. I went to a cake shop and got quoted $175 and i couldn't afford that so i made it myself for $45.

I had a Harry Potter 18th. This is a vanilla butter cake covered with black vanilla buttercream. with a hand carved and painted fondant topper. I was very proud of this.
