Golden Wedding.

Thank you, Janet. 

The cake was so special and really made the day.

Golden rose for a golden couple: About 40 friends gathered at Sunset Drive. People from way back - people from present. Very pleasant evening. Congratulations Ken & Mavis.

The love bird bench was inspired by the ETSY website. The date is the day they were married at Christ Church Chadderton , OLDHAM, UK.

Fondant Models

I love to model .... and add character to the cakes which I design:

The model (right) was of Kell who was celebrating her birthday and the imminent arrival of her 3rd baby. Again made with fondant but coloured with electric colours to add a cheerful brightness. On the left is one of my favourites - the figure  on a tractor is the characature of Mr Jones the grape farmer form Mildura. I loved modeling the tractor as it was simple ... and that means I like! All moulded from fondant.

Nev and Dulcie were celebrating their Diamond Wedding Anniversary.


The fisherman sitting in his boat was made from fondant strengthened with tylose powder. The boat or 'tinny' was shaped over some playdough until hardened. The tree was made with florist wire and then fondant was coloured and marbled and pressed around the wire form. 

Marbling Fondant.

The technique: I roll out two or three fondant sausages of differing shades. Lay them side by side and then plat them together and then roll ... fold over and role. Simple as that! You can vary the level of marbling by repeating the said process - it really is interesting to see what evolves. My advice is DON'T OVER ROLE' as you can get some murky brown or grey colour appearing!
There are some great videos on You Tube which give you the step by step info on getting it right. 'monkeyseevideos' are a great source of info. but there are really lots more. Just write in your browser "How to marble fondant" and hey presto you will find something interesting.

A Poker Cake

Dora the Explorer

New Year 2012 arrived and with it Charlotte's fourth birthday. A Dora cake was chosen for the party. Bright colours the order of the day together with the figures of Dora, Boots and Swiper [purchased not made - she was able to take the figures home]. Chocolate and strawberry cake covered with ganache and fondant. Base board covered in orange fondant.

I loved making this cake. On reflection - what I love about cake decorating is getting in on the party! Oh, did I mention about the SMILES?

Albury Probus

Asked to design and decorate the cake for the 20th Anniversary of the Probus Club in Albury. One of the members had baked the glorious fruit cake and I set about researching the emblem. Designing the logo from fondant .. ummmmm .....





And here is the cake. The fruit cake is covered with almond icing and finally topped with white sugar fondant. The fondant logo may be carefully removed prior to cutting. The cake is supported on its own board atop the plastic covered board beneath.


CONGRATULATIONS on the successful operation of the club for 20 years.

Peaches & Cream

Peach fondant covers the double tiers. A double row of white satin ribbon surrounds the cake, with silver cord between. Suitable for a range of celebrations even a small wedding.
