Peter Rabbit Birthday Cake

We have had a lot of people wanting to see more of the Peter Rabbit cake we created at the end of last year for one of our best clients. So here are some snaps of the cake in progress. We started with a sturdy marble mud cake, and began with the body, and then his head. Once Jon had achieved the overall shape, we gave Peter a good coating of ganache.

Now we were on to the good stuff! Jon really did make Peter Rabbit come to life! The ears, tail, jacket, and shoes were adorable. But the carrot, that was incredible. Made from modelling chocolate, it was so unbelievably realistic. For me, that was my favorite part. As a girl I had every book in the Beatrix Potter set, so this cake was really a dream come true to create.

Masterfoods/ Masterchef cakes!

This week we were contacted by the wonderful people at Mars Foods (aka Masterfoods, Uncle Ben, Kan Tong etc) to create 3 Masterchef cakes for a party to celebrate their wonderful relationship with Masterchef, and it's hosts!

After being given some initial ideas by the company, we suggested creating Mystery Boxes. Great part of the TV show for sure, and what better surprise, than for them to be filled with cake!

They may be just a basic rectangular shape, but there's nothing basic about these boxes of cake. The smaller boxes were four cakes, stacked and iced into a 6.5" high cake. They were also delicious! White chocolate and raspberry flavour - our most popular combination. The large, or should I say gigantic cake, was 6 cakes slacked, requiring 24 internal dowels, and at 10" high, and 15" long, it took two people just to lift it off the table! Again, an incredible flavour, Milk Chocolate Mud Cake with Cookies and Cream Filling.

Why three cakes? Well, with 300 people to feed, and round the clock shifts, Mars Foods wanted not only there to be cake left for the night shift, but their own cake, so they didn't miss out on the celebration. What a wonderful company! I think more big business should take the time to think about all their staff in this way. Made us proud to be a part of it!

So here are some pics of the cakes. Hoping to get more over time of the actual festivities, and see just who sunk their teeth into our cakes!!
