Perfume Gift Box

I have made this cake for my sister in law…
I asked her for 3 ideas and her favourtie colour…
Julie said perfume, chocolate , flower and pink a favourite colour…
So this was my idea for her cake…..
A bottle of perfume in a gift box with a few flowers and of course the giftbox is pink (3 shades actually).
The perfume bottle and rose’s are made from moulding chocolate which I made myself from scratch.
The cake is Gluten free Red Velvet chocolate cake with cream cheese icing and lastly decorated in fondant.

Transformer’s Birthday Cake

This Transformers cake was made at the last minute…..
It is a caramel mudcake with gananche and then covered in black fondant and then I made the transformer’s logo from grey coloured fondant and then dusted it with edible silver glitter.

240z Datsun Birthday Cake

I was sent a request from facebook, asking if I could make a cake from a photo……so the lady sent thru a photo of a car( i didn’t know it but my husband did hehe). 240z Datsun…..
So I said I would give it a go..
Bry wanted a gluten free white chocolate mudcake and so the journey begins, I made the cake bright and early…then headed out too watch the V8 supercars at Symmmos Plains for the day .
Tehn that evening I set too work carving with my husband’s (man’s car eyes help)…finally the right shape.
Covered the cake in white chocolate icing .and then put fondant over the top andthen took ages adding all the extra bits like lights, mirror’s, wiper blades etc…. and finally 4 hours later a 240z was finished.

People Cookies …gluten free vanilla cookies

Drawing from a photo a Cat Topper for Mother’s Day Cake

This was a new challenge for Me, I had a photo sent too my phone of this family’s much loved cat….which was too be the main feature of this surprise Mother’s Day cake.

So I got my cake decorating pens out, and while holding my phone worked out a outline of the cat with 1 of my decorating tools , then set out too colour in the cat …being black and white…..I coloured the top of head, ears,nose etc….then eyes…and then added grooves for the white….

It took a bit of time and the cat I drew it a little slimmer but overall  I was happy with the outcome.

I cooked a Red Velvet Cocoa Cake 4inch and topped it with Cream Cheese Icing.

Marbled some white and grey fondant together and covered the cream cheese icing.

Cut out from black  fondant some cat silhouttes with a scalpel and glued them on the sides of the cake with sugar glue.

Added some black and marbled fondant balls around the cat plaque and base of cake.

All done…

Happy Mother’s Day
