Pictures From Our Workbench

Sometimes we don't get a chance to take pictures of our cakes in the usual way but generally we get a shot of them somehow.  Here are a few that "got away" but were photographed while they were being worked on:

Vintage Style - Anniversary Cake

A last minute order from a distraught husband who had forgotten his and his wife's anniversary!  To add to his pain, there were guests coming for dinner to celebrate!
We were able to create this small two tiered cake for the occasion with cameos and gold numbers with sugar orchids and pearls.  The flavour of the cake was blackberry and vanilla, very yummy.

Bonnie Gordon School 2010 Cake Show

I thought you'd like to see our other entry into the cake exhibition last weekend.  This cake was designed and created by Louise Howling, our creative young designer.

It's a shame that you can't see all the way around this cake the hand painted koi carp painted on the cake were beautiful and the Chinese screen on the top of the cake was so intricate and pretty.

The gold branches were made from modelling chocolate and had fine branches in a very oriental stance.

The sugar phalanopsis orchids were so pretty.

Well done Louise!

Bamboo and Orchids

This Cake has a double happiness (Chinese) symbol on the top and has bamboo on all sides of the square and silk orchids to decorate each tier.
