More & More Cakes .....

I haven't posted any pictures of cakes lately.  To be honest, I did not have an opportunity to make many in 2016 due to my study, but I am pretty happy with what I was able to capture.

Happy learning peeps!

Moana Birthday Cake

I was asked last year to make a cake by a whanau member for their baby.  Unfortunately I was unable to accommodate due to my study, but when the tono came through for this year I was more than happy to oblige.  The brief was a Moana cake with buttercream.

As always, I am keen for a challenge and decided to do something extra special! 

The board was massive measuring 600 mm x 600 mm.  The sea, land and flowers were made with fondant, while the sand and texture of the cake was made with biscuit crumb ... and a whole lot of buttercream.

I was so excited with the project and extremely happy with the final result.

Happy learning peeps!

A Super Cake For A Super Hero

Every year I have been asked to make a birthday cake from a very special person for her wonderful son.  Every year is a new design so when I was asked to produce an Iron Man mask for her little super hero, I was more than happy to oblige.

As always, I'm keen to take on a new challenge, and decided to capture the entire process of putting the cake together. First thing was first though.  I needed to buy a mask to ensure I knew what the final product was suppose to look like.

My husband was extremely enthusiatic to help with this cake.  He came up with the idea of having LED lights placed inside the cake so that the eye's light up just like the real Iron Man.  He even went out of his way to ensure the edible paint was the right shade and painted the entire mask! 

I am really happy with the final result - especially when the eyes were lit up.

A Special Frangapani Cake

I haven't made many cakes in the past few months but I was more than happy to oblige my good friend who had recently lost her beautiful mum.  She wanted a cake for her daughter Stephanie, who shared her birthday with her nan.  Like always she left me to design the cake and here are some of the stages of the design.

The cake was designed as a symbol of Stephanie's special relationship with her mum and her nan.

The top tier represented her journey through life. The bottom tier being Stephanies mum and signifies her ability to provide Steph strength and stability in her life.

The texture on the cake symbolises the many trials ...and successes throughout her life and reflects how they are dealt and celebrated together as a whanau.

The pedestal represents the need to find strong balance in life in order to achieve positive outcomes.

The whole cake is brought together with a spray of frangipani flowers.

The flowers represented Stephanies nan, her culture and her legacy she has left including sisters, brother, niece, nephew and future generations.

They are sprayed around the cake as a symbol of her nan's love for Stephanie and a reminder that she will continue to guide her through her life.

 

I really loved this cake and I am so happy how it came out.

 

Happy living people!!
