Soccerball Cupcakes

These are the little soccerball cupcakes made for my nephew's birthday over the weekend, I presented them on a cake stand with a personalised pennant banner wrapped around the edge.

Happy Birthday Mickey!

Suitcase & Make-up bag cake! {Penny's 30th birthday}

This cake was made for my cousin's 30th birthday which she celebrated over the weekend with family and friends at the North Burleigh Surf Club.  Both the suitcase and the make-up bag are chocolate mud cakes.  Everything is edible including the lipstick and eyeshadow!

Here is the back view, I put a couple of little hinges on the lid, the board is also covered in fondant which I tried to make loose and resemble a bedsheet...Penny loves to travel the world so this cake really suited her and she loves blue, I really enjoyed making this one.

Hope you liked your cake Pen...Happy Birthday!

Fox Logo & Flames {birthday cake}

This cake was made for a friends son last week, he liked the flames on the transformer cake I made and he also liked the fox motorsport gear and he wanted a motorbike on it!  This is the cake before the motorbike was added, Darcy's mum picked up a great bike with a little rider on it which was added after I delivered it so I'm not sure if it was placed on top or on the board either way I'm sure it would have looked good!

This was my first go at creating a logo in fondant and I was quite pleased with the way it came out, pretty close to the real thing!

Inside is buttercake covered in vanilla cream icing. The flames are all cut out by hand, I then added a little bit of hologram edible glitter to the tops which you can just make out in this picture....Happy Birthday Darcy!

Construction Party! {part two}

Here is William's party table loaded up with all his favourite things to eat!  After all the photo's I took on the day I never got one of this table with everything on it!! So this photo is courtesy of my sister in law, thanks Melissa!  If you missed my previous post with pictures of William's construction cake you can see it HERE!

These balloons were great fun for the kids, they came with 50 balloons, instructions and a pump! The hard hat we already had and added a number 4 to it.

We had tin buckets for chocolates and little scoops attached with rope for digging them out, these marshmallows I stuck onto a lollipop stick and dipped in melted chocolate...they look cute with hundreds & thousands on top but William doesn't like them so these ones stayed plain!
 

Fresh Queensland strawberries, these didn't last long! and another favourite...watermelon

And finally a construction box for all the kids, filled with lollies and other goodies to take home!

Where did you get that?

The custom bunting/banner, signs, food labels and gumball bag toppers were designed and made by me.

The orange safety gale on the front of the table came from bunnings, you can buy by the metre for around $5.

The plastic plates, {melon martini} cups, straws, tin buckets and balloon kits all came from the reject shop for under $3 a piece. Scoops I already had but are originally from tupperware.

The buckets and riverstones  used to hold the balloons on sticks I already had but you could get these at the hardware or dollarstore.

The construction favour boxes came from ebay store cupcakealicious for $1.70each.

{William's 4th Birthday} Construction Party!

We celebrated my sons fourth birthday yesterday with a construction themed party.  He had a two tiered chocolate mud cake topped with a dozer and a little bobcat, I used my silver rainbow dust on his name and the 4 and I used chocolate fondant for the bricks and William's favourite edible rocks {chocolate stones}.  

 

The cake board is covered in black fondant and trimmed with textured ribbon.

I made a bunting to go above the table,

and here is a half finished table, I will post the completed dessert table and details of what I put on it when I find a bit of spare time in the next day or two! William had a great day, the best part for me was seeing his happy, excited little face when he saw his cake!
