Enchanted Mushroom Party Cupcakes


Vanilla bean cupcakes, topped with fairy pink fondant over vanilla bean buttercream.

Decorated with a sprinkle of magic fairy dust, and topped with a pair of magical mushrooms for fairies to rest under when tired, with some random hot pink royal icing polka dots as hightlights.

House Cake

This is a small cake, measuring 4" deep, 3-3/4" wide and 9" high.

It's a white chocolate cake, torted and covered with white chocolate ganache, and covered with rolled fondant.

All details were hand cut; the roof shingles, front door and plinth boards were detailed and applied individually. The brick pattern is all cut piece by piece.

Made for a first-time home owner.

Survivor Cakes

A few days ago, I received an email from Kat.

Kat lives in the back of beyond (well, beyond Rockhampton), and she is a cervical cancer survivor. Kat told me that while she was going through her treatments, looking at my cakes would cheer her up and help her get through the day.

I can't begin to tell you how touched I was by getting Kat's email.

To me, the rose is a symbol of strength. It will flourish and produce the most gorgeous blooms, even under the most trying conditions, which I though was a fitting symbol of Kat's (and other cancer survivors) battle to come back from such a horrible condition.

So Kat, these roses are for you.

I hope that you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed creating them for you.
