I am replicating a Peppa the Pig cake for a lovely return customer of mine next week and this is the type of iced board that was on the image she emailed me to copy. I just now finished it so it`s set up for placing the cake on next week and I must say I LOVE the concept so much it`s going to look...
Read MoreMy Fabulous Customers
It`s such a passion for me I dream about cake at times, and it can get a little stressful, but delivery days, usually Saturday and Sunday are SO my favourite part of the week and they totally makes up for any stress i may have experienced on my production days. Why is this you say? Because my dear readers I get to meet my Fabulous Customers. I am an online cake shop and I don`t have a retail space where people can walk in to, I work out of a registered kitchen and deliver all of my cakes instead. This means all orders are finalized over the phone or in email exchange, so I don`t get to meet my customers face to face until I deliver their cake. So Saturdays and Sundays I get to see the happy faces of my great customers and it really is a fantastic feeling, some days I drive all the way back to work with a huge smile on my face, quite often actually! The warm fuzzy`s I call it. I would like to share with you a picture of one such customer Amelia. I created a 3D LadyBird Cake for little Amelia...
Read MoreHigh Tea & Hair Lessons
I was approached by the lovely Sarah who owns Live & Let Dye in Mt Eden Village a few months back about supplying her with cupcakes for a monthly or bi-monthly event she holds at the salon on sundays called High Tea & Hair Lessons. A great gathering of like minded ladies who on the day get to see and are also taught to do up do`s and other tips and tricks you can do on yourself, while they get to eat yummy cupcakes and are served tea from the most adorable vintage tea cups. A real treat and a very girly day out that doesn`t cost the earth and is a lovely way to pamper yourself. Keep your eye out for the next one and buy a ticket as numbers are limited. Live & Let Dye is one great salon, spread the word folks and check them out at...
Read MoreRosette Cakes
Over the long weekend I had three rosette cakes booked in, so they must be the next big thing in the auckland cake scene. Which makes me extremely happy as I just love creating them and they are just so pretty. They are a little tricky as the crumb coat behind the rosettes needs to match the colour on top so the cake really gets iced 2 times but wow what a stunning effect. Hope you all enjoy the images I upload of them over the next few days. Also if anyone is interested just email me and I`m sure I can help as these can be made in all sizes to suit your function from a wedding cake to a christening cake we can work the rosette theme in to your...
