Mango Pavlova

I managed to find some really nice mangoes and decided to make a mango passionfruit pavlova. Only problem is when I cut open the passionfruits this morning, they were overriped so it will be just mango with mascarpone on a bed of crispy chewy pavlova.

Bollywood Cake Revisited

A strawberry chocolate cake was requested with a bollywood theme. I had ideas initially to use fondant to carry out the design but then thought about it further, the cream is made out of fresh strawberry puree and may not be good to sit it outside. However, fondant does not sit well in the fridge as the condensation will cause it to become sticky. So settled for buttercream frosting. I am quite happy with the way it turned out, I could have made it into a more girly cake but the instructions were to depart from that.

Snake and Ladders

Had a request for a snake and ladders cake for a 5 year old. This was quite tedious with having to cut out each square and different elements of the cake. Hope the birthday boy likes it.

Caleb's Full Moon

A "thank you" gift actually ordered by a friend for those who had given her gifts and well wishes on the birth of her son. Simple but different, some blue M&Ms, and 2 sugar cookies.

Purple and Blue Whimsical Wedding Cake

I know same picture of the same cake but this is one of my favourite cakes now. A little dissapointed with the sugarpaste that dimpled a little but then again as one famous baker said " there can never be a perfect cake".

Blackforest slices

Had wanted to have blackforest for awhile but was not too keen in those you get in most old time bakeries where they stinge on cherries and lather on too much cream. Made this ina rush over the weekend. I had one hour in between appointments, manage to whip up the sponge and put in chunks of chocolate and cherries in between chocolate buttercream. *Craving satisfied*

February and March Babies - Office Birthdays

A sky high hummingbird cake for birthday celebration at the office today. It has been awhile since I attended a class that taught amongst other recipes, the Hummingbird Cake. Not easy to find this cake but who knows, will it be the next Red Velvet? I did not have the urge to instantly try the recipe I learnt as I felt the colour of the cake did not turn out nice. So upon stumbling on another recipe for this cake, I made this for the celebration today.

Hummingbird cake is similar in taste and texture to the familiar carrot cake but the ingredients are different. There is banana, pineapple, coconut and cinnamon in this hearty cake. This may be a keeper but only when I feel like it.

Lemon cake with Fresh Blueberries

A light luscious lemon cake with fresh blueberries. The lemon cream is a new recipe, it is like clouds of tangy lemons on a cake. Lovely. Have uploaded a close of the the sprinkles and the cross section of the cake. If you are a lemon lover, this is for you!

Cupcakes to say "thank you"

We had been working really hard the past couple of weeks. The project was finally delivered end of last week. So some cupcakes to thank the team.
