Doggy Cupcakes

My customer wanted to give something a little bit different to her birthday guests!

Here is her feedback

"hi Rachel, the evening went really well and the cupcakes were a great hit. One was even given to a South African Rugby player to help him get over the loss suffered at the hands of the All Blacks! Thanks for your efforts, I will recommed you to anyone who is thinking of cupcakes for an event."

Alice in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland themed cupcakes are very popular and recently i was asked to do an 'Alice' Cake.

Jungle Animal Cake

The jungle cake is one of my most popular designs. I love making the animals and no two are ever the same!

Spiderman Biscuits

These Spiderman biscuits complimented the Spiderman cake. They make great party favours.

Cupcake Shoes!

I loved creating these new miniature shoes. Black and White seem to be my favourite colour combination at the moment! It might be hard to see in the photo but the black ones have 3 mini rosettes in the front.

New Cupcake Designs

It is always hard coming up with cupcake designs for men, but Sam was thrilled with these cupcakes, sent to him at his work.

New Cupcake Designs

Cupcakes are still proving to be a lovely gift for the 'someone special' in your life. Whether on the other side of the world or here in good old NZ, people love sending my cupcakes to their friends and colleagues here in Auckland. I love the elegance and simplicity of these black and white cupcakes.

Rose Wedding

Roses are always popular with brides. They look elegant, classy and beautiful and the edible flowers can be colour matched to the bride's fresh flowers and/or table decorations.

Hello Kitty Cake

I have been dying to do a hello kitty cake for a long time and finally got the chance to do one last month.

Frangipani's

Frangipani's seem to be the most popular flower at the moment. Maybe it's those balmy summer days reminding us of our holiday's in the Islands, which will soon be sadly behind us for another year. It is nice to have a change from the rose which is a classic and always a favourite, especially for weddings.

Filigree Design

My favourite cupcake design of the moment. Piped filigree decorations and chocolate transfer rounds, this elegant design has been very popular with young and old girls alike! Would make a great Mother's Day gift.

St Patricks Day Cupcakes

Here are some simple St Paddy's day cupcakes with a lucky four leaf clover I did for a couple of customers this year. They were chocolate cupcakes with Mint and Irish Cream frosting. "I just wanted to let you know the green cupcakes have gone down spectacularly. Thanks so much for a gorgeous super yummy product! Philippa. "

Wedding cakes

Let us lovingly create your dream cake that suits your unique style, colour theme, tastebuds and individuality.

Wedding cake trends come and go and cupcakes still seem to be the cake of choice going into 2010. There are so many different toppers to choose from your choice is only as limited as your imagination! In stacked cakes couples are going for a more classic look with cleaner lines and less "fussy" decorations seen in years gone by. We have many new designs being created, so keep an eye out for some wonderful new cakes coming soon...

Because each cake is different and has many variables it is hard to have a fixed price list for every cake. Flowers and figurines are handcrafted with a special edible sugarpaste, they are time consuming to make and therefore a price will be given when we know exactly what is required.

Wedding Cake Sizing guidelines

If you have other desserts at your wedding your guests will generally require only a small finger size portion. If however your cake is the main dessert you will want to serve a more generous portion and it is a good idea to ask the caterers to serve the cake with some lovely berry couli or chocolate fudge sauce and a nice dollop of whipped cream!

Two tier cakes Size (inches) Size (inches) Serves
Round 8 6 35-50
Round 10 8 50-70
Square 8 6 52-75
Square 10 8 75-105

Three tier cakes Size (inches) Size (inches) Size (inches) Serves
Round 8 6 4 42-60
Round 10 8 5 65-90

Consultations for cakes

Icing

Edible Icing
Edible icing can be used in many ways and incorporated into your cake design if required. For example you may have a picture of a family member that you would like on your cake or if you would like your company logo printed onto a cake or cupcakes this can be done as well.

Icing
I use fondant icing which is a sweet pliable icing that can be moulded and coloured. Buttercream icing is also used under the fondant layer and can be flavoured to your requirements.

Marzipan, otherwise known as almond icing is only used on fruit cakes or by request.
