Wedding cake filled with gumpaste flowers

This Wedding cake was a 5 tier cake with Vanilla and chocolate cake. I made all the flowers out of gumpaste and added pastel Pink, Yellow and Green to contrast  against the white fodant and white royal icing piping. The individual cakes were covered in fondant and then hand painted on top with the Bride and Grooms initials, in edible Gold. Each wedding guest had a wedding cake favor to take home.
The Wedding was held last Sunday 21st December at the beautiful  Deering Estate which looked absolutely magical as night fell upon the festivities.

Gingerbread house

I thought this year I would make a gingerbread house with a slight difference and make it into a homely looking bakery with two marzipan chefs outside. I still used lots of candy to give it a colorful effect.

Pirate ship cake

My favourite modeling medium right now is rice krispie treats , which is what I used to make the ship. The masts were more challenging since I did not want to use paper and did not have any rice paper. I used gumpaste which I cut and allowed to dry in a curved form, cutting out 2 small holes in each where my mast (wooden skewer) would go. I sealed the sails with gumpaste and gum glue then wrapped all exposed skewer with chocolate fondant. I was quite happy with the result. One tier was chocolate cake the other was vanilla cake.

Train cake

This train cake I made turned out so cute. The little train carriages were made out of rice krispie treats and covered with fondant. The train tracks were chocolate and black fondant for the tracks, with a grey textured fondant underneath. I love the colours and overall look of the cake.

Monkey cake

This adorable monkey cake was made for a lovely little girl who was turning 2. The customer supplied the monkies , which I thought looked so cute and were a huge time saver since I had three cakes to make for the same day.
