Mikhail's christening cake

In August, we were asked by a friend if we could make two cakes for her sons - one for Mikhail's christening, the other one for Mharcus' 6th birthday. They were having a combined celebration. Fun, right?! :) This Momma bakes and decorates cakes for friends and family, too, so we were especially surprised and flattered (if that's the right word) that she would even trust us to make the cakes (she left the design & details all up to us). Thank you, Rio (and Mark!).

Now, Mikhail's christening cake is one of the sweetest cakes we've ever made. :) You'll see...

Ain't he the sweetest baby? *sigh* 

We were told on the day of the event that hydrangeas are Rio's favourite flowers, too. Win! We love that they loved this cake! :)

Vintage Baby Carriage Baby Shower Cake

This is a very late post. Sorry for being slow on the posting... but promise, we are back on track :)

Janey's dear friend all the way back from high school had their baby shower late last year. On a visit to Parnell one weekend, Jane bought them a hand-made baby shower card with a pop-up dye-cast vintage baby carriage on it.

For the cake, the brief was simply to use blue. 

E voila! 

 

Congratulations, Nebrie and Andrew,

thank you for joining us on this sugary-sweet journey!

Kate & Jay's Ombré Ruffle Wedding Cake

 Because we are bespoke cake stylists, most of our work are original designs. 

However, it is a common practice of most aspiring cake decorators 

and hobbyists to 'take inspiration' (aka copy ideas) 

from much more experienced and innovative masters of the craft. 

We are also only learning, but our point of difference is that when we do borrow an idea,

we give credit where it's due. 

For this next number, the bride - Kate was really enamored by the simplicity 

of this Bobbette & Belle wedding cake design:

 

Kate is our Janey's old friend all the way from High School.

We are honoured to help create their dream day!

Here is our humble take on the brooch & ruffles ensemble:

The bottom tier was red vlevet cake in white chocolate ganache frosting.

The middle tier was lemon-vanilla pound cake with white choc ganache.

Th top tier was white choc mud cake with creamy milk choc ganache.

Such yummy colours!!! 

We must have stared at it for hours after assembling it, it was mesmerizing!

 

The night of the wedding, Kate texted Jane...

she said it was 'delish'! Now, to make a pretty cake - that's one thing.

To make a delicious cake - that's yet another!!!

 Happy.

Kloé-cake's Cake Smash Photoshoot

We are soooo super happy that our princess was born 

in the spring time - Sakura-season! 

Here are photos by our talented friend from Available Light Ltd

The egg-free, dairy-free vanilla pound cake... was covered in butter cream (LOL)!

 

The sakura on the cake is made of rice wafer:

Kloé-cake's Coffee Group Turns 1!

We have been tasked with coming up with a gender-neutral birthday cake

for Kloé-cake's coffe group party. Here is what we came up with:

Full name: Poppy-inspired hand-painted fondant-finished chocolate mud cake. 

 

A little bit of 2d/3D details here and there. Understatement is the key.

And above is the cake with the coffee group singing happy birthday to all the babies!

And now for one last look:

Tulip Painted mini-cake

We have been experimenting with hand-painting on fondant. 

This tulip-inspired number was made for Jane's fiance's mom's birthday.

Did you follow? hahah! too many apostrophes. 

So, of course we have a long way to go. We aren't exactly fine arts graduates.

But just humour us for a bit. ok? LOL
