Orange ombre wedding cake

This is a small ombre Wedding cake with an oversized gumpaste flower on the side. The cake was devils fudge cake with chocolate fudge filling. I liked the contrast of the bright vibrant Orange colour  against the crisp White of the fondant. The frills are made out of 50% gumpaste 50% rolled fondant in order to give them better structure to hold in place.

First communion cake

This is my favourite type of cake, I did a quilted effect on the bottom tier which had very small flowers placed all over, flowers on the top and sides and then topped with an "E" which was made out of gumpaste and painted silver. The cake was vanilla, filled with pastry cream and fresh raspberries.

Louis Vuitton Bag/purse

 

This is my first Louis Vuitton bag/purse cake , since I did not have a stencil I made one myself which I think came out pretty realistic. I covered the cake in chocolate fondant then used a yellow petal dust to make the design. The handles and trim are made from gumpaste reinforced with extra tylose (or gum)

 This is probably the closest thing I will get to having a designer handbag!

Rose cookies

Here are some rose cookies I made for a special order.

White and Gold Wedding cake

This Wedding cake had plenty of small gumpaste flowers that I painted in a Gold accent. I liked the way they seemed to cascade delicately around the sides of each tier. The 3 large gumpaste flowers I decided to just accent in the middle by painting the stamens Gold. I had to just tie a thin Gold ribbon around the base of each tier and I think the cake displayed quite an overall regal look.

Chanel purse/handbag

Another cake order for the Chanel purse/handbag. This time I did a few more details with the chain straps so they look like they are actually attached to the bag this time.
I think I will add this as an upcoming class, seems to be popular at the moment.

Baking this week Oatmeal cookies

Oatmeal and raisin cookies are always a delicious treat. The recipe I made this week is one I have not used for a long time and I must say they came out perfect. They held their shape during baking and were not too thin and crispy, they were still a little chewy in the middle, with that lovely hint of cinnamon when you bite into them. The walnuts gave a great added bonus of both flavour and texture. Simply delicious!

Simple elegant style Wedding cake

I got my inspiration for this cake from a textured fabric I saw , I liked how even though the design was White on White, the little flower discs I made added a great detail and overall look of pure simple elegance.
