My daughter plans her birthday cakes up to a year in advance – that is probably my fault!!
For her 5th birthday we had a craft party at the wonderful Petite Artelier in Melbourne – a great venue! Julia and her guests painted beautiful little birdhouses, so she thought a bird house cake was in order.
I had the privilege of learning how to make these gorgeous blooms from the Queen of the Peony herself – Jacqueline Butler of Petalsweet. A 2 day workshop run at Alison Thompson’s beautiful studio with a lovely, talented group if local sugar artists.
As you can see – the results were amazing..
I loved, loved, loved making this cake! This cake was created for my gorgeous little nephew George for his christening.

My husband and I had the honour of being little Amelie’s godparents last weekend. I found some adorable hand made owls from Red Stitch Designs via madeit.com.au. Super cute yes?
So, of course, I wanted to incorporate an owl in the design of the cake for this special occasion. Amelie’s mum LOVES cats and asked if I could perhaps include a cat somewhere. So, I got to thinking…hmmmm… an owl and a cat, an owl and a cat…hmmm – of course! (slaps the forehead) The Owl and the Pussycat!
It’s always lovely to be asked ‘back’ to make another cake for a client… this cake was created for little Jesse’s first birthday. I recently made his Train christening cake and was excited to be part of his special birthday too..
This cake was designed around the invitations sourced from Australian company “Imprintables”.They have a gorgeous collection of stylish invitations for all occasions and this birthday invitation was no exception.
This cake was created for a christening. It is a combination of a couple of Confetti Cake’s – of NYC – anemone cake designs. The client sent me a picture and wanted this cake but with that amount of flowers in this colour… well, the instructions were clear! This was my first time making the beautiful anemone flower and I must say I loved making them and will most likely use them again – soon!
This cake was created for my cousin’s little girl’s 1st birthday celebration which took place in a local park.
In coming up with a concept for the cake, I was told that little Christina loved birds. So, putting these two elements together, this design was born.
