An Owl Christening Cake

Over the weekend, we celebrated our third daughter’s christening.

The invitations featured an owl and birdy sitting on a branch so I wanted to replicate that for the cake topper.

The bottom layer was chocolate mud with chocolate ganache and the top layer was white chocolate and strawberry with chocolate ganache.

It was my favourite cake to do (for sentimental reasons).  It turned out great and the day itself was fantastic.

The good thing with this cake is that little changes can be made to suit any occasion.

Another “Popping” Baby Shower

A couple of weeks ago, I baked a cake for a baby shower.  The theme of the day was “She’s about to pop.”  I decided to try out a new cake look – a tall, skinny cake (it was actually three small cakes stacked one on top of the other.

The colour scheme for the day was blue, green, pink and purple and these colours became the colours of my bubbles.  I also made the little yellow ducky on top and bought the little plastic balloons on top.

The cake was a chocolate mud cake with chocolate ganache.

I also made the matching cookies on sticks to look like lollyPOPS.

60th Birthday Golf Cake

Over the weekend, I baked and decorated another golf themed birthday cake for a 60th birthday.

My intention was to create a golf ball but as things don’t go to plan at times I had to improvise.  So I came up with two cakes – a golf ball in the grass and a cake with golfer/golf bag.

I was very happy with the end result and got great feedback from the guests.

All elements are edible and the writing on the ball was all cut out by hand!

Starry Cake

Here is the number 1 cake I made to go with the star cookies.  I also made the monkey topper and banana.

Stars and Monkeys

I had a really fun time making the following cake and biscuits for my cousin’s daughter’s first birthday.

The invitations my cousin used were absolutely gorgeous so I used this as my base.

All Dotty

I completed some poka dot themed biscuits for a 1st birthday recently.

The birthday girl’s mother chose a really fun colour scheme that worked really well together.

Santa’s Little Helpers

So it is coming up to silly season and despite having had a big week of baking I decided to do some more baking and experiment for Christmas.

First project: Santa’s Elves. These are on biscuits and would be cute on cupcakes too!
