Hunter's Birthday Cupcake Class

Just finally got around to processing the images from Hunter's 7th Birthday Cupcake Class Party. Wow! They had such a fun day, playing with icing, giggling, eating sweets, and just bring kids. I have to say, it was the hardest class we have ever taught, and the 3 hours just flew!!!









We are not currently offering kids classes, but it is something we are looking into as the future unfolds. Always more to do, and it certainly was a great experience. Never rule anything out around here, that's becoming my motto!




The cake was a magnificent design by Jon. Topped with a modelling chocolate "cherry" this 4 tier cake weighed around 20kg!!!

The Ultimate Wedding Cake


When Katie came to us to design her wedding cake, she wanted something big, beautiful and white. That was it! Something elegant, refined, and a cake to take her breath away. Oh, and sugar flowers - beautiful sugar flowers.

We were lucky to have such a client, who allowed us complete creative control of both the design, and the flavours. We chose to do a fresh take on the traditional old school cake. More floral, less stringwork, yet a design that could be appreciated by those of every age. Flavours, added added Orange Peach, Milk Mud with Cookies and Cream filling, Marble mud, to Katie's only request, and that was Vanilla Bean & Rosewater. A traditional Fruit Cake for the top tier to preserve finished off these five delicious cakes.



Thank you Katie for allowing us the great pleasure of working on this cake, I hope it was everything you hoped for.

Lina & Justin 28th April 2012 at Bacchus, Newcastle


Lina & Justin had the most beautiful wedding. We were blessed to have them as clients. We were allowed free-reign on all the food choices, and our brief was to create the most elegant table possible. Warm rich tones, champagne, soft golds, and ivories. The cake was a staggering 20inches tall, set upon our newest silver stand, it certainly commanded the room.





We were also asked to create gorgeous little boxes of bonbonniere for their guests. Jon made salted caramel macarons dusted in gold, and Vanessa made mini cupcakes topped with gold dusted hydrangeas made from sugarpaste. They were some of the most amazing bonbonniere we have made, and the gold just topped them off perfectly.

Jemma & Liam 12th November 2011 Roberts Restaurant


Love love loved this couple! What absolute sweethearts, and a super sweet cake to match.
We received a lovely message from Jemma after the wedding, which just makes our hearts sing!

"We really had a wonderful day and really appreciated all your help and
support in the process, I know I must have been a more 'indecisive'
bride, and I was absolutely blown away by how stunning the cake was.
It was everything I had hoped for and envisaged, and had so many
comments on how beautiful it looked!
By all accounts it tasted delicious, I had so many compliments on it,
so thank you for helping to make our wedding so wonderful. I will
definitely be back as I need to eventually have a slice of your cakes
myself!
I have no hesitation in recommending you, and I look forward to
working with you again!"
