YUM

Hawaiian Cupcakes for a cause

Some time ago I contacted a lovely lady called Debbie, who was running charity auctions on Trade Me and asked her if she would like to auction a voucher for cake or cupcakes. We initially were fundraising for the Weekes family who tragically lost their triplets in the mall fire in Doha.  At the request of the Weekes we donated the proceeds to the wellington neonatal trust where the Triplets were born :)

The lady that won the auction asked to add to the intial order and these cupcakes are the end result, Hawaiian cupcakes for a 21st birthday, all 100 of them :)

Bobby Socks and poodle skirts

I was asked to make this cake for a friends mum, who was celebrating her 60th birthday.  She provided a picture of a cake by pink cake box which I used for inspiration. I really enjoyed this cake as there were a few firsts in it.... I have never put decorations on wires before and I hand cut all the musical notes

The most challenging part of this cake for me was that the top tier was fruit cake which I do not love baking

Playable Angry Birds Cake

So, I saw online this amazing playable angry birds cake created by a Dad for his son here and decided that since my son and I enjoy playing this game that I would surprise him with one for his 8th birthday.

Here are the photos of what was a very fun cake to make,  it took somewhere between 10 and 12 hours in total to put together everything including the board and slingshot.  All the components were kept hidden until cake time at his birthday party.  His face when he saw the cake was priceless!

The best part was when he got to load the birds in to the slingshot and let them rip and try and demolish the piggies :)  All the children had a go and seemed to thoroughly enjoy it :)

Roller Skating Fever

Roller Skating cake for my friends little girl that turned 8 yesterday :)  She loved it and I was pretty happy with it over all,  I thought my skates looked a little clog like. I was pleased with the way the marbled icing  came out,  it was the first time I had tried that.

Boys and their toys!

Here is a cake I made for my friends little boy who turned 2 today.
