Dinosaur Dessert Table

This is the complete spread for my son's 4th birthday party.

Dinosaur cupcake tower, assortment of chocolates, gummi lollies and cake pops.

Each child had their own personalised chinese noodle box to fill as their treat bag.

So much fun!

Flower Pop Cupcakes

So here is the final cake creation for my kids birthday. This cake and cupcake combination is for my daughter's 1st birthday.

I decided to make a two tiered round cake and this is complimented by 24 cupcakes with fondant flowers on a stick. I call this my Flower Pop Cupcakes!

The cake is white chocolate mud cake covered in fondant and the flower pop cupcakes are vanilla chiffon cake and iced with marshmallow icing. I love the way the colours turned out.

This is the centrepiece of a girly dessert table for the party.

Birthday Cupcakeathon Part 2

As promised here is my son's third birthday cake! This is my first attempt at a dinosaur cake. I aimed at creating a Triceratops first but then that quickly failed so I morphed it into a Brontesaurus.

I carved dinosaur out of foam and covered it in fondant. Don't look too closely as there are many imperfections.

This is going to be the centrepiece of a dessert table.

Did I mention I am also creating my daughter's 1st birthday cake at the same time. I have combined their birthday party this year as they are only 3 weeks apart. Crazy me! Exhausted!!!!

Birthday Cupcakeathon!

So I promised my son 3 different cakes for his birthday. Why did I do that? Not so sure. But anyway I created cupcakes for his actual birthday, for his day care celebration and for his birthday party. So far I've done 2 out of the 3 creations.

The first Heatblast cupcakes. Jaxon likes to look at my cupcake creation on the computer and he saw my previous Heatblast cupcakes and asked if I can make it for his birthday...so I said 'of course!'

The second request is Lego cupcakes. I created a Lego block cake for his cousin last month and he liked it so he also wanted the same Lego theme for his birthday...so I said 'of course!' These cupcakes will be for his day care friends.

The last cake will be for his party this coming weekend so stay tuned.

Kristina's Baby Shower

Congratulations to my friend Kristina on her pregnancy. She asked me to create her baby shower cupcakes and decoration design was inspired by her invitation.

The cupcakes are chocolate mud and the icing is vanilla buttercream.

Macarons

These are the macarons from my daughters christening dessert table. They were vanilla with buttercream filling. I prefer the buttercream filling over the ganache filling for macarons as it makes its a lighter dessert...so you can have more :)

My 1st Dessert Table

Wow! This was the first big project I had since coming out of baking hibernation during the past two years. So much fun...

For my daughters christening I decided to create a dessert table. I made a cupcake tower, baked vanilla macarons, cakepops, salted caramel brownies and cookies. On top of all that I filled 4 lolly jars with goodies and custom wrapped juices to match the pink theme.

It was a huge hit at the reception! It was cleared in minutes! My only disappointment was the table supplied was too small and I felt all the elements were too squashed.

I cant wait for my next dessert table project...my children's combined birthday party next month.
