The begining of a little country kitchen......

I spent 8 years studying to be an architect, for which in return I have a very rewarding job!

Since finishing my studies I decided to find something new to learn outside the office..hence my journey into cake decoration and a new way to employ my creative skills!

So after some cake decorating lessons I am embarking upon making cakes for family, friends and anyone who is interested on my way!. I love a challenge and I really enjoy making them and it something completely different from my day job!

So this blog is an photographic portfolio of my journey, to give you an idea of what I have done/ maybe can do :-)

To Infinity.....and Beyond!

So it was my friend Nita's little boys 4th birthday.....he wanted a toy story cake- how could I resist!!!
Vanilla cake with jam & buttercream. My first exploration into tiering....and it didn't fall!
I made the bottom part to look like an old wooden barrel, with sugar for sand.
The added buzz bursting out of the top, with woody sitting on the side- with lots of glitter dust and shimmer for some magic!



I also make some fondant topped cupcakes to go with the party bags as welll- vanilla with jam in the middle! yum!!!

Monkeys....Go Bananas in my kitchen!

This was a cake for my bosses aunties 60th Birthday.
Standard Vanilla Sponge, with Jam and Vanilla Buttercream....I used a Peggy Porchen Receipe to try and I have to say was the best vailla cake ever...very soft and moist and easy to ice!

Lots of bananas and leaves for the decoration ( all made out of fondant and edible) and the very lovely monkeys ( which are my favorite!)
