Jenny & Peter - Wedding


This classic 2 tiered square wedding cake with offset tiers was made for Peter & Jenny who held their reception at a venue in Stanwell Tops overlooking the water. Jenny and Peter were a lovely couple who had their minds set on chocolate mud cake until they tasted my other flavours! They decicided to stick to their decision of chocolate mud, and also offered their guests caramel mud cake to enjoy.
The oriental sugar lillies were made by me and make an elegant statement cascading down the cake.
Congratulations Peter & Jenny.


Customer Testimonial
"Hi Cherrie,
Just wanted to let you know the cake looked amazing, thank you so much.
Neither Pete or myself actually got to eat any (we just didn’t have time to sit down- we were having way too much fun).  In saying that I know that everyone mentioned how delightful it was.
So thanks again.
Jenny"

Carlicia & Matt Wedding


My beautiful friend Carlicia and the love of her life Matt were wed in style at Ecco Ristorante in Drummoyne. The family and friend filled affair was amazing!
Carlicia has always loved my white chocolate mud cake and also suggested chocolate mud cake to give her guests some variety.
The red, white and black themed cake was adorned with crystals (non edible) for that extra touch of bling, and the bride and groom toppers were handmade by me.
Wishing you a lifetime of happiness Carlicia & Matt.

Congratulations Carly & Stefan - Wedding



The brief for this cake was traditional, feminine and elegant. The bride and grooms theme was ivory, lavender, gold and lace and they insisted on there being no rolled fondant icing on the cake.
The bottom tier is carrot cake with vanilla bean syrup, the middle tier orange and poppyseed cake with orange blossom syrup and the top tier caramel mud cake. The entire cake is covered with white chocolate ganache in a rough finish.
Lisianthus and lavender cascade down the cake - flowers supplied by Annettes Florist of Moss Vale.
Bride and Groom topper with dog supplied by the bride.
Cake serves 90 dessert portions/160 finger portions.


The reception for this wedding was held at Southern Highland Winery, Sutton Forest. The venue was exceptional and really suited the style of wedding.


Congratulations Carly & Stefan

Baby Blocks Christening Cake - Sienna



This round single tiered cake is covered with white rolled fondant, with bright pink organza ribbon to the base. All of my cake boards are covered in rolled fondant unless otherwise stated, as I like the way this finishes off the cakes.
The baby blocks are made from sugar paste, with fresh gerberas, organza butterflies on wires and a keepsake baby jewel box.
Cake serves 35 dessert portions/60 finger portions.






Emerson's 3rd Birthday - Pink Ballerina Chocolate mud cake


This single tier round chocolate mud cake is decorated with butterflies and blossoms, with sprinkles of edible pink glitter. The cake is completely edible, being decorated with rolled fondant and sugar paste.
The ballerina mouse was my first and remains my favourite. I love how her face tells a very happy story!
Serves 30 dessert portions.

Caitlin's 3rd Birthday - Fairy Toadstool Cake











This adorable little 3 year old wanted a fairy cake to go with her fairy themed party. The ballerina mouse made from sugar paste comes up here again, with matching tutu and edible glitter sprinkled over. The cake itself is a rainbow butter cake covered with white chocolate ganache and then rolled fondant icing. The cake serves 25-30 people.
Some cupcakes made for the adults for after the 'kids' party - buttercups with vanilla bean buttercream

Christening Cake for Tegan


This chocolate mud cake was created for little Tegan. Tegan's Mum asked for a cake that would be suitable for a 2 year old being christened, and requested purple and silver in the detail. The ballerina mouse is modelled from sugar paste and has been very popular with little girls.

Bruce & Nicoles wedding

My cousin Bruce & his new wife Nicole were married in a beautiful ceremony at Government House and requested this simple 2 tiered square design to complement their bridal party and feed the masses, as we have a large family. Bruce had a friends Mum create the bridal couple with their daughter for the top of the cake.
As Nicole specifically wanted a 2 tiered square cake, but had a lot of mouths to feed, I made a separate cake that the kitchen was able to cut up in addition to the wedding cake, which was served for dessert.

PLEASE NOTE: See photos of Carlicia & Matts wedding for a sugar bride & groom that I have created.

Chelsea's 5th Birthday

 
Chelsea is an avid ice skater and her Mum asked me to create her an ice skating cake that would be suitable for her ice skating party. The colours were purple white and silver. I modelled an ice skater out of sugar paste and decorated the cake with stars and silver cachous. The client was very happy with the result! 

Alexis 6th Birthday



My beautiful eldest daughter Alexis asked me to make her a cake "with tiers just like a wedding cake, but ballerinas and ponies too please Mummy!". With that came this pink and white 3 tiered cake, with my three most popular mud cake flavours, chocolate, caramel and white chocolate filling each tier! The tutu on top is made from sugar paste, as are the ballet slippers on the board which has been covered using scrapbook paper. There is nothing better than seeing a small childs face light up when they see what you have created for them!

Imogens 2nd Birthday Cake


My daughter Imogen has become good friends with the cows across from our place, and is particularly keen on feeding 'Rodney the Bull' as many bananas as possible. After asking to invite Rodney to her birthday party, we came up with this idea for her cake instead. All of the kids loved the cow cake made from chocolate mud with chocolate ganache. You can expect to get about 25-30 serves from this cake, but don't expect there to be too many slices left!
All toppers and decorations for the cake have been hand made by me, either piped or from sugr fondant, and can be customised to suit each cake. As this cake had a farm theme, we went for bugs!
