Amelia's farmyard birthday

For the daughter of one of my favourite clients.  Cake design was based on the farm printables by Pretty and Print.

Cupcakes, cookies and coconut ice were part of the dessert table styled by Little Birdie Events.  Inspiration came from the invitation design and colour palette.

Confetti Fair for Little Birdie Events

One of the best part of what I do is collaborating with event stylists.  I've worked with the Gerri and Carole from Little Birdie Events on several occasions, and enjoyed every bit of the creative process. 

 

These cookies, cupcakes and coconut ice clouds were for their dessert table at the Confetti Fair in Brisbane earlier this year.  The cookies were based on their logo design.

 

 

... and so it begins

It's been awhile in between posts.  It's not that I haven't done much cakes or cookies, but just that in between baking and decorating, there's family. 

There's also the few weeks that I hem hawed around, trying to decide about having my blog re-designed.  Well, I finally took the plunge.  Here is the new blog, designed and installed by Smitten Blog Designs.

And here are shots of what I had been up to the past few months.

My Week

Last week was one of those weeks that was completely and utterly mad.  I was up at dawn and did not go to bed until close to midnight.  The thing was, even though I was exhausted, I cherished working during the quiet hours before the kids woke up, and the peace when everyone had gone to bed.  It was just me, my workbench, and all the sugary goodness in front of me.

Under the Sea Birthday Cake

For a little girl who celebrated her birthday last weekend with an Under the Sea - Mermaid party.

 

 

(The design is a simplified version of Debbie Brown's Under the Sea cake)

 

"Just wanted to say thanks for the cake on Saturday... My daughter loved it and I got lots of 'wow's' at the party from the parents.. One of my friends even said 'it's rare you get a cake that looks good and tastes good at the same time'. So thanks, it was delicious."

Sometimes, simple works best, just like this birthday cake and cookies for Daniel and Lili.

 

 

 

Tiffany & Co cookies

A few weeks ago, I was asked by Tiffany & Co to make small cookies for their QueensPlaza shop.  I then received an email from one of their customers telling me how much she loved the cookie she had at the shop and if I could make the same cookies for her bridal shower.  How could I say no?
