| Sweet! Cupcakes and Treats | Wedding Cake | Melbourne |

Soon after Masterchef judge Garry Mehigan sported his jacket with the Fenix logo, I received an influx of enquireies from brides planning a Fenix reception - coincidence or kismet?


The gorgeous and lovely Nicola was one bride able to secure a date for her Fenix wedding ccupcake tower!  These shots are by the very talented Stewart Leishman, who, as a further stroke of kismet, happened to be the shooter du jour for Nicola and her husband Don.


Both the cupcake and cutting cake are carrot cake, with lime buttercream under fondant.  The cutting cake is topped with one of my signature "fabric roses" in white.

Congratulations Nicola and Donato!

Michelle and William first contacted me earlier this year for a wedding cake, then, after they saw my work on dessert tables featured on Amy Atlas, they changed plans and decided to run with a dessert buffet for their wedding today.


Their lucky guests get to take home a variety of sweet things:

Wedding Cake - White Truffle with Strawberry Preserve filling
Mini Cupcakes - Java Jolt
Cake Pops - Chocolate Fudge encased in white chocolate
Coconut Ice
Vanilla Bean sugar cookies with edible images (the logo from the couple's stationery suite)
Chocolate Sable sugar cookies with edible images
Vanilla Bean Yo-Yo's
Marshmallows

The entire event was themed around the stationery suite designed by Nomie Stationery... the pattern also featured on the table labels for the dessert buffet, as well as on the favour bags, and also on the dessert! Many thanks to Naomi for your assistance!

Birthday Cakes Melbourne - RSPCA Cupcake Day

I think Spring may finally have thrust itself out from the wintery Melbourne covers!  For the first time in recent memory, we have shivered through one of the coldest and wettest Melbourne winters, and while I love Winter, I must admit, I am looking forward to all that Spring will deliver!

So, apart from building our new e-boutique, what have we been up to?

First we have some more of our incredibly popular black stringwork bow design cupcakes, this time for a 21st birthday at the uber-chic Chapel St bar "The Imperial"

Chocolate fudge cupcakes in black cases, with white fondant, and two decorative designs, our "Cary Grant" of formal cupcakes (the balck stringwork bow) and it's design partner the white trellis.

We have also supplied one of our loveliest clients (Angie) with an over-the-top cake to celebrate her 30th birthday... with our "inner drag queen" front and foremost at the design stage!

A chocolate-orange marble cake, covered in toffee coloured fondant.  Hand-painted leopard print, and decorated with hot pink and lime green "drag queen lillies" and topped with some hot pink ostrich feathers for good measure!

And, we have also been hard at work creating some afternoon tea goodies for a High Tea party in aid of the RSPCA, as part of their Cupcake Day fundraising campaign.

Mini chocolate cupcakes, chocolate sable Calling Card cookies, and pink Rosewater Meringue Kisses with white ganache were the order of the day.  The puppies on hand for the festivities were treated to some custom "puppy poppers" in peanut butter flavour!

Happy Baking!
