We experienced our hottest day in the shop on Friday. The airconditioners did not help to cool the shop at all. It was 32 degrees inside and apparently 34 outside. The large fan ( I am covinced that it can fly a microlight) helped a little to keep us going. All chocolate work had to be abandoned except for an order of German choc dipped wafers which took over three hours to dry. Unfortunately we cannot put them into a Continue reading →

This last weekend was an example of what our weekends are like.

Giant decorated gift box,  gift boxes filled with confections, 2 wedding cakes, 5 Celebration cakes, dessert and starters for a function, A Gourmet box function for 10 with flowers to match.

Here are a few photos of some of our work from this weekend past.

Lezelle covered this box which was to have one of Lucia`s cakes inside.

TUMBLES CAKE WITH MILK CHOCOLATE GANACHE for the adults and ICED BUTTER SUGAR COOKIES in farm and bug theme for the little ones. Bouncey bugs added a bit of movement to the cake.

Every now and then a client gives you a challenge. This was one of them Jodi asked for a Tumbles cake in the shape of a cross with farm animals. The animals walked around the cake in procession, some on piggyback.

Being young at heart is the best way to celebrate your 50th birthday. A cookie bouquet cake and a jumping castle formed an integral part of this great celebration. Happy 50th Trish.

This is a carrot cake finished off in white chocolate ganache, with a few truffles.

The cake was made for the adults which was a Flaked Almond Sponge, set strawberry mousse, covered in white ganache.

The little ones had foodie boxes with cheese straws, fresh strawberries, crumbed baked Continue reading →
