Mickey's Playhouse Cake (or Minnie's actually)

I love, love, loved doing this cake it was so much fun!  The theme was obviously Disney's playhouse but with more of a focus on Minnie than Mickey.

It was a 10" square cake on the bottom (approx 50 regular serves) & the red playhouse body was approx 8 serves.

The cake was layers of 'Blondie' (vanilla butter cake) filled with a rich chocolate buttercream & all coated in a  chocolate ganache before being covered with marshmallow fondant.

I absolutely loved making the sugar characters!

Paul Frank Birthday Cake

It was a lot of fun to make this cake, partly I think because of the story that goes with it.

It is of course the Paul Frank monkey logo & apparently the birthday girl just loves Paul Frank & always has. The cake was commissioned by her sister & although the birthday girl knew she was getting a cake from me she didn't know what it was.

I was told that she was hoping for a Paul Frank related cake & her sister said that she needed to throw her off the trail a bit.  So with my help by making comments about the upcoming cake I was making on my facebook page (I was told she was stalking it for clues, lol) we managed to convince her that she would be receiving a cake covered in flowers & butterflies, which was apparently defiantly not her style at all.

Sorry for teasing you Lydia but at least you got a surprise & the cake you actually wanted in the end! 

The flavour was a 'Killer Chocolate' cake (milk chocolate sponge) with rich chocolate ganache for the filling in-between the 3 layers, followed by a coating in chocolate ganache & finally covered in a layer super yummy homemade chocolate marshmallow fondant.  All other featuring & decorations on the cake were fondant too.

It started out life as a 12" square cake which I carved into the correct shape so as with all carved/sculpted cakes the serves are a guess rather than an exact science but I believe it would of been around 40-45 serves.

As the designed was fairly plain I added a funky pattern to the cake board for some extra interest & I also gave it just a tiny little feminine touch by adding a bow to the monkeys head. 

I received a really lovely thank you email for the order which you can see on my testimonials page

Thomas The Tank Engine Cake

This Thomas the Tank Engine cake was one I made for one of my son's for his 4th birthday.

I'm afraid it was a bit of a rush job so it is far from prefect but I though you might like to see it anyway, (such is the life of the poor cake decorators child, always getting last minute cakes, lol).

He is of course a big Thomas the Tank fan so he was thrilled with the cake anyway but if I have had more time I would of added railway tracks to the cake board, some little pieces of coal in the back of Thomas, as well as a Fat Controller figurine to stand next to him.

Normally the number on the side of Thomas is a number 1 but naturally I changed it to a number 4 as it was his 4th birthday.

The cake itself was a 'Midnight Delight' (dark chocolate mud cake) with layers of chocolate ganache.  It is always hard to say how many serve a sculpted cake is but I would estimate that this one would be approx 45-55 regular serves. 

The covering & all decorations on the cake are marshmallow fondant.

Princess Doll Birthday Cake

The classic doll cake a favourite of little girls all over the world I think.  Maybe it has something to do with the fact they get a cake & a present of a doll all rolled into one!

For this particular cake I had my orders from the birthday girl that it should be a pretty pink princess but the doll cake can also easily be made into any of the Disney princess's such as Cinderella or Snow White, a fairy such as Tinkerbell or even a beautiful mermaid or ballerina.  You can also use a different type of doll to go along with the changing trends such as the Bratz dolls.

For those a bit older it is also possible to not actually use a doll at all but instead replace it with a handmade fondant tailors dummy.  The dress can then be made to look like a specific formal, bridesmaid or wedding dress.

It was 3 layers of pink lemonade cake with raspberry jam & raspberry Swiss meringue buttercream in-between the layers, then a buttercream coating & covered in home made marshmallow fondant.  All decorations are made of fondant & edible. (approx 25 regular serves).

I kept the design of this dress fairly simple, I think they can look a bit too busy if you have too much going on.  I simply used some swagging around the bottom half with a tiny handmade sugar flower at the top of each section, a sash around the waist with a bow tied at the back, a single flower at the bust & a matching necklace.

In addition made a lovely tiny little silver tiara for the princess using wire (not edible).

I also used little sugar pearls down the back of the upper part of the dress to simulate buttons.
