Happy Mama's Day

Pecan & Maple Syrup Cake

Happy Mother's Day to all the mum's out there!!

I made a pecan & maple syrup cake for my mum today. Being the disorganised daughter I am I just winged the design although I had other ideas - a basketweave with maple syrup buttercream and lots of handmade roses with butterflies in between was one but I had run out of time.

Daisy Fruit Cake

Here it is! I finally covered a cake with fondant, even the daisies were made of fondant. It's not the prettiest looking thing but hopefully with practice I'll get better and there will be less visible flaws.

I made the fruit cakes a little too late this year and so they're a little dry...The ones made earlier this year are sitting in a fridge 8,000 miles away.

I seem to be constantly running into a problem of not knowing what to do with the finished creations. I guess we'll have to finish this cake ourselves...

Spring time blooms

daisy n pansy bloom - butterfly swirl - daisy n apple bloom

It's now officially Spring! Yay!


I was busy in the kitchen making another lot of merry-go-rabbits and doggie bones SPCA cupcakes for a friend's workplace and decided to design the extra cupcakes with flowers and butterflies to celebrate the longer days and extra sunshine we will get - *crossing my fingers and toes it won't be all grey and cold*

I'm still trying to get the vanilla cupcake and chocolate mud cupcake recipes perfect so I'll be on the lookout for guinea pigs to taste test my little designs.
