This cake was made for the daughter of a work colleague. They don't know whether it's a boy or a girl so the cake was purposely non-gender-specific.

We have monthly morning teas at my work and this months theme was Valentines Day. I made and decorated the cake and my work colleague Lara made the chocolates to go on top. Everyone loved it (and the other 3 tables full of food we provided)

I made this mini cherry ripe mud cake for a colleague's birthday. I based the design on the pattern on the ribbon.

I made the following cake for my brother-in-law's birthday. He is passionate about two things, his coffee and his AFL team, Carlton. As an Essendon supporter it would have been a sin to create a Carlton cake, so he got a coffee cake instead! The cake inside was caramel mud cake covered in a dark chocolate ganache, covered in fondant. The cup was modelled on his preferred coffee brand, Gloria Jeans.
I was really happy with how this turned out as it was a last minute cake, the only thing I'd do differently next time is make it 1 cake taller (there are 3 small cakes used in this one), just to made the dimensions a bit more realistic.

I was oncall for work this weekend, which basically meant that I couldn't leave the house in case the phone rang and someone needed my help. So I put my time to good use and made up these samples for potential clients. Because they are only samples, I made two of the cakes as single tier only but both of these designs could easily extend to a multi-tier wedding cake.

I made this cupcake bouquet as a thank you gift for the two photographers that take my cake photos. It was a basic cupcake mix with around 12 cupcakes. The cupcakes were fixed to a styrofoam ball within a flower pot. This was my first attempt at a cupcake bouquet and I was thrilled at the result.

This caramel mud cake was made for a friend's father who loves his soccer and Sydney FC. This was a lot harder to make then I thought it would be, lining up the hexagon's on the cake was quite tricky. But I'm pretty happy with the outcome, I thought the logo came out really well and loved using my new airbrush to add some shine to the ball.

This week I had the pleasure of making the birthday cake for a friends son's 5th birthday. Josh was having a magic themed party, complete with a real magician so I decided to stick with the theme and create a cake with magicians hat, rabbit and wand. The base cake was chocolate mud cake, the hat was butter cake and there was also some buttercake cupcakes I made with the leftover mix. The actual day was sweltering hot but the cake handled it well and the party was great fun.

This birthday cake was made for Maddy, who turned 13 on Christmas day. Instead of the usual Christmas cake, they always have a birthday cake for Maddy and this year was no exception.
The cake was a lighter version of the cherry ripe mud cake and I was quite pleased with both the taste and the overall cake - especially as I had never made ballet shoes before.
