Cupcakes.

These cupcakes, where made for Easter and are vanilla cupcakes, with white chocolate buttercream. The toppers are all hand made, and made from fondant. They are meant to represent Easter eggs.


I have made more cupcakes, I promise. But I seem to have not taken any photo's of them.

Cakes that I have created so far.

This is a chocolate mudcake with chocolate ganache that I made for my sister in laws birthday. I have learnt alot more since this cake, but I love the colour combo.


This cake was for Father's Day at my parents house. The top tier was a bailey's, coconut and white chocolate mudcake, with white chocolate ganache and the bottom layer, was a banana cake with white chocolate ganache also.



This was my daughter's cake for her actual party that we had. It ended up being a butter cake with white chocolate ganache.


This is hubbies birthday cake, that was on Easter this year. It is a cherry ripe mudcake with a milk chocolate ganache around it, topped with shredded cherry ripe.



My little sister turned 30 this year, so I made her a coconut cake with white chocolate ganache. I was not overly keen on the colour combo, but over time I ended up liking it. Also my first time working with black fondant. Note to self: Do not work with it again, when the kids are still up.

Cakes worth looking at.

After thinking that I was doing the right thing and showing you all, where I started my cake decorating at, I have come to realise that I am so embarrassed by them, that I thought I had better show my daughters fourth birthday cake. She told me that she wanted a castle and princesses. So this is what I came up with.
Two tier cake. Bottom is chocolate mudcake with chocolate ganache, and the top layer is a carrot cake with white chocolate ganache.



But before this was created I had a go at my youngest daughters first birthday cake. At the time, I didn't realise that you had to go with time lines. So this was a bit of a rush job and this is what I came up with. Chocolate mudcake with chocolate ganache.

Finally joined, and become a blogger




It has taken me a little while, but I have finally decided to join the world of blogging and show case, some of my creations that I have been making and creating.
I think that I will show you all the first cake that I did for my daughter's first birthday almost 5 years ago, and I was so upset with how it turned out, that I decided to try and out do myself each year. It was just a simple buttercake with buttercream icing.

The next year, I tried to do a little better, but not as much as I wanted. I think we can all guess who it is. But the third year, I was a little bit more impressed, but it didn't really look at all like Tinkerbell.

But the fourth year was a bit more special than the first three, as it was the first time that I did a fondant covered cake for my daughter. But I will need to leave it there just for tonight and I will have to upload alot more photo's of what I have already done.
Until than.
