My 1st Customer!!!

To be honest I was very excited and nervous about making these cupcakes for Julia.  It was her birthday and she requested " I'd love them to have more of a mix of pics of roller-skates, helmets, etc even some polkadot ones rather than teams, general roller derby if you get what I mean. My favorite colours together are red white and Donna hay blue. We need them for the 23rd of July. Red velvet flavoured."


So here is what I came up with

photo by Julia at POP Photography.  *make sure you check out her gorgeous photos*  This girl has talent!

this is what she said about them:- 

Time for another favourite thing! This week comes in two parts, brought together by a very talented little lady! I LOVE cupcakes, especially if they are red velvet, so much so that this was very close to being "Red Velvet Photography" instead of POP. I also have a huge fondness for ROLLER DERBY. I am addicted to the sport! For my birthday I enlisted the likes of Made by Me - Especially for You to make my birthday cake. She made the most amazing Red Velvet cupcakes in the theme of Derby just for me :) They were adorable and tasted like heaven!

I was absolutely stoked that she loved them as much as I did!  

Buzz Birthday Cake

 And here's how the party house looked:- theme colours - blue and green!

Izaac's 3rd Birthday Cupcakes for Daycare

My little boy turned 3!!!  He is obsessed with Buzz so that's exactly what I based his cupcakes around.

The Alien

A Planet

The daycare teacher asked me where I got them from and when I said "I made them" she said "oh wow! They looked awesome, I was going to ask you where you brought them from!"

These are some more birthday cupcakes for a beautiful girl I visit teach.  

and then i also made some love notes *which i've been wanting to do since valentines day!

Something Simple

Chocolate Fudge Cake with Chocolate Ganache

My First Wedding Cake

My cousin Lauren got married!!! So I had the pleasure of making her wedding cake!  I found a design and she loved it so off i went!  Here's how it turned out - 

They were really happy with how it turned out.

It's a double layer red velvet cake with white chocolate ganache then fondant.

I love the fresh red roses, the diamonte trim and the shimmer on the stripes. 

Mum's Birthday

It's my mum's birthday today!!!

My sister Kristel had a great idea that I should make little figurines - one of mum and all her grandkids.
*** the only trick was - i've never done figurines before! However I'm always up for the challenge!***
Here's how it turned out!!!

L-R: Trent, Cameron, Mum, Izaac & Hayden

She absolutely loved it - and took to to work because they had soooo much cake left over and everybody was raving about how great the people looked.

Nan's 80th Birthday Party

My Gorgeous nan is 80!  My aunty, cousin and I organised the party - food, decorations, made everything. I had a great time!  It was such a busy weekend - with visiting the temple on Saturday morning, then off to Max Brenners (girls only) then Tomo and I had a wedding at the Sunshine coast, then Sunday morning included Church, covering the cake, prepping the rest of the food and the finally the actual party!

I had a few troubles with the flower on top as this was my first time but thanks to persistence and youtube I worked it out and was over the moon with the results.

I couldn't have done everything this
weekend with out his support!

Happy Birthday Dad!!!

April is a really busy month for birthday's in our house!  My dad is a massive fan of St George Dragons so of course it was a no brainer when thinking of a design for his cake.

the image is edible!

Hayden's Batman Cake

Would you believe my kids are all sick!!! One after the other even Thomas was sick - although I had to force him to spend the day in bed!!!

I made this cake for him for his party with our family and it went to waste!   Couldn't have family over, couldn't have cake, couldn't celebrate!  Hayden thought it looked great though!

Hayden's School Birthday Cupcakes

Hayden LOVES Batman!  Here are the cupcakes I made for Hayden to take to school and share with his class mates.

Kristel's Birthday Cupcakes

Phew what a busy week!  Even after that I still wanted to do something for my gorgeous sisters birthday.

Kris and I run together and I love living up here in Brisbane so we can spend more time together and become closer!  Love you heaps kris xoxo

and she loved them!

Valentines Day

My sister Lyndel wanted me to make some Red Velvet cupcakes - which was fine by me because I've been wanting to try them out!

I LOVE red velvet!!! It's such a unique wonderful taste it's hard to describe exactly what it tastes like.   When somebody asked me I said - " its hard to actually determine a flavour - because of the cocoa they are a little chocolaty but then there are other flavours in there - lets just say they taste like velvet! hehe"

didn't have a heart cookie cutter so they are hand cut -
which is why the edges are a bit rough :-S

More Animal Cupcakes

I couldn't work with Junita today as she's not well but I really wanted to make some more animals.  I had very limited tools at this stage but I was really happy with how they turned out.

Panda, Lion, Pig & Bear

Koala, Dog, Rabbit & Elephant.

Snowflake Cupcakes

I had seen snowflake cupcakes a few times while looking at different pictures and I fell in love with them instantly!!!

I think it's just because of the simpleness of the design and also the contrast of colours that both stand out in their own way.  oh and I love blue!!!

a touch of glitter really sets it off!

and dragonflies... These also popped out at me!

Cupcakes

I stared to working with a friend who also loves to decorate cakes & cupcakes, she has however been decorating longer than me so I now go over there every tuesday to decorate and learn.

My first ones I wanted to try were animal cupcakes - I thought this would be fun to surprise the kids with!

Froggy

Cow

monkey *with missing ears*

 and I even had enough time to make some beautiful butterflies:-

I had a lot of fun with Junita and can't wait to make some more!
