High School Musical Cake

Three-tiered chocolate cake covered in individual icing stars (this took ages to do) & silver dragees (sugar or candy balls).

I made the "topper" from a High School Musical photo. I digitally added basket balls to spell out the birthday girl's name & age & then laminated it.

I created the film strip twists digitally as well & then laminated them.

My lovely assistants ....

Talulah's 5th Birthday ASTRO cake for her Astro Party

Three tiers of white chocolate mud cake. Scarlet helped by making all the little icing balls.
Sitting between the columns is a gorgeous little Astro Boy that lights up & changes colors. A beautiful Uran (AKA Astro Girl) is the cake topper. Scarlet also picked out the colors for her little sister's cake ... pink, lilac & baby blue. I used some of the same BAKE IT PRETTY heart-picks as on the cupcakes to decorate the cake (& keep Uran stable).

Janey and Peter's Wedding Cake

Chocolate Mud Cakes (the bride's fav) covered in a layer of almond icing & finished in white royal icing.

Embellished with flowers & wired pearls that match the table & venue decorations.

Top tier is supported on a very long-stemmed glass. The vintage ceramic Bride and Groom were a lucky find the day before the wedding - purrfect for a thrift shop queen like Miss Jane!

Tall bottom tier is a triple layered cake to get the necessary height for the look they wanted & to feed 150 guests - angle of pics make it look shorter than it was!

TOSHIKO'S 80TH BIRTHDAY CAKE

My Mother-in-law's 80th birthday cake was made up of 3 white chocolate mud tiers.

The top red tier was balanced on a long-stemmed glass that I filled with "80" scatters. The bottom tier was also red & both were embellished with white feathers.

The middle white tier was studded with edible silver beads.

I made a separate small red heart cake for the 80th birthday candle.
