My Sons Circus 1st Birthday Cake

 

 

This is the cake I made for my sons 1st birthday party.  We had a circus party and I couldn't wait to make the cake.  There are so many fantastic circus cakes out their so I wanted to create something that was original but also incorporated the things I loved that others have done.  The day was so hot for a day in April and it had been raining the days prior.  The humidity really didn't go well with the fondant on the cake so please don't look too close as there are some mishaps that happened along the way. I also included the photo scene I made for the party cause everyone loved it so much! It was a great day!  Oh yeah- the cake... it was vanilla on the bottom layer, chocolate in the middle and caramel at the top.  The whole cake was covered in white choc ganache and then fondant.

Easter Cupcakes

These are some quick Easter cupcakes that I made for the kids in my sons play group. Colourful and fun!

60th Birthday Cake and Cupcakes

I made this cake for my Mother in laws 60th birthday.  She asked for a pink, white and blue cake.It is a white choc mud with white choc ganache flowers, flower paste flowers and fondant.

Checker board Aussie Cake

 

 This is my 2012 Aussie Day celebration cake.  I had never made a checker board cake before and it was a lot of fun! The cakes were flavored pineapple and lime and was covered in white choc ganache.  I was going to cover the cake in fondant but it was so hot on that week that it wouldn't work for me. I will work on its straightness next time but I'm pretty happy with it for my first attempt!

Band Cake

This is a cake that I made for a friend for his birthday.  The image is his band name. It was a choc mud with choc ganache and black icing

Cherry Blossom Cake

I have always wanted to make a cherry blossom cake.  I like the 3 and 4 tier cakes with the tree up the side but am not really a fan when it goes up the side of a single cake and lays flat on the top. This was my solution - I made a wire tree and coated it in chocolate and then put the cherry blossom flowers on the cake.  It turned out such a beautiful cake- Yummy too! It was chocolate mudcake with a chocolate ganache.

Skylander toppers

I made these Skylander figurines for a friends son for his birthday. Unfortunately these are the only two pictures I took and it was on my mobile so they are not very good quality.  For some reason they won't rotate either- sorry.
