Five-Layer Pecan & Maple Syrup Cake

This was my first go at frosting a cake à la the Hummingbird Bakery way and I think I needed a bit more buttercream as it wasn't quite thick enough for me.  Still lesson learned for next time.  


This tasted amazing with a coffee on a lazy Sunday afternoon.  Let me know what you think!

Topsy turvy cake version 2!!

Poor old topsy turvy cake no. 1 suffered a mishap.  So here's topsy turvy junior to take its place, and I must say, I had a lot of fun making this one.  Personally I have a bit of a thing for zebra print, so this was my idea of a good time!

Blinging topsy turvy cake

This was my brief - black, gold, glitter, over the top

This was a two-tier, 10-layer chocolate Oreo topsy-turvy cake, in black glitter fondant with gold glitter stars, topped with a gold bow and star sparklers.  The cupcakes were chocolate Oreo to match, with an Oreo base, Oreo buttercream and gold painted white chocolate initials/ages and gold painted Oreo's.

This can be made in a number of colours and fillings, so please do not hesitate to ask if you would like something similar.

A seven year olds dream

My step-daughter is a normal seven year old.  She loves cake, she loves kit kats, she loves smarties, and all in large quantities.  Based on this, I made her this super-indulgent birthday cake to satisfy all three.  Her eyes literally popped out of her head when she saw it.


This was a double layer, 9 inch chocolate cake, with chocolate buttercream, 48 kit-kat fingers and a whole fun-size bag of mini smarties.  It barely lasted 24 hours...
