The Wedding cake rock is located at the eastern coastal site in the Sydney Royal National Park. Soaked in golden sunset, this rock comes to alive.
2nd build in my Iron Builder round against Andrew, using the Plant Flower Bell Shaped with Small Pin Hole in light blue.
This is a beautiful bit of NSW coastline in the Royal National Park, about an hours drive south of Sydney. Sadly this beautiful rock formation is very unstable, and is likely to collapse into the sea in the near future. It's now fenced off to the public. You can see where big blocks of similar rock have fallen into the ocean below. It's a great place to contemplate the power of nature!
Snowflake wedding cake for close family friends!
6 inch almond cake with almond butter cream, 9 inch strawberry cake with coconut butter cream, 12 inch chocolate cake with oreo cookie butter cream, and 15 inch raspberry swirl cake with vanilla butter cream. All cakes are covered in fondant then air brushed in "pearl",
The snowflakes are gumpaste, airbrushed in 'pearl' and covered in edible glitter!! 99 % of the snowflakes are attached to the cake by wires. The ribbon at the base of each tier is silk organza with irredesent glitter throughout the ribbon. There are very tiny lights on the cake, but the light wasn't very good when I snapped this photo, so you can't tell they're on there!!
Well…I wish I had this wedding cake, when I got married, lol!
I sooo admire Richard’s (bakingarts) stripes, which he cleverly does with modeling chocolate. So, imagine my delight when I saw the current issue of Bride To Be Wedding Cakes magazine, and on the cover, was a modern looking, 3 tiered cake, decorated with stripes, done by Faye Cahill. All fondant. Well, I knew I had to try those stripes, lol!
It took me a few days of staring at that cover, to figure out what to do. It was a fun cake to make, done in my favourite colour, green :)
Here's how I made the stripes:
- start from the bottom and work your way up
- run your icing through a pasta machine to get a consistent thickness. I set mine on 3
- measure and cut your stripe, roll like a bandage and stand upright
- attach glue to the cake, then unroll the icing, as you stick it to the cake
- smooth and trim the stripe as necessary, so it's even and straight
- repeat with the next stripe and do the same process until the whole side is covered.
I know this cake's been done over and over, but I don't know who to give original credit to. Anyone out there in cake world know? This was ordered by my daughter's teacher to celebrate her parents 50th wedding anniversary. I was supposed to be doing a replica of the couple's wedding cake, but she couldn't find a decent picture of the cake. She brought a pic of his cake instead.
Poof and I were married on Valentine's Day. Neutron and Vortex crafted this work of art wedding cake. He first carved the wood spirit in wood, made an edible gel mold then Vortex filled it with edible chocolate!
I photograph on the prairies as many weekends as possible year round, with my window of opportunity I have one or two days to capitalize on conditions the weather person tosses my direction. I'm very fortunate to have the time to enjoy these amazing adventures.
On route South towards the small community of Etzikom in Southern Alberta you'll drive past St. Anthony's Parish country church/cemetary built in 1912-1916 by local voluntary parishioners. The windows are boarded, the door pad locked, and paint chipped and weathered. It makes a great subject for a short 45 km drive from Medicine Hat, AB.
With Autumn in full decor, I walked to the South side where the wind was removing leaves methodically "one by one", and turned my attention to a small school house turned social center in the background just beside the church. Any events held in the prairie church could spill over to this small building and I imagined the social conversations, laughter, celebrations, friendships..... AND importantly food served.
In any event the light was glowing mid day, and the winds were playing the all familiar prairie song. It's an amazing melody in Autumn.

Wedding cake for Xiaoyan and Faron. The design was taken from Debbie Brown's "Dream Wedding Cakes" book.
"The Wedding Cake" is the nickname that the glaringly white Monumento Nazionale a Vittorio Emanuele II has earned in Rome.
The Wedding Cake is a national monument built in honour of Victor Emmanuel II, the first king of a unified Italy.
I just want to mention a memory from my first few visits to this monument. Back then, early 90's, the patch of grass in the foreground, the front of a huge grassy circle, was not there. Instead there was two traffic cops on pedestals and they were performing a traffic ballet every day. The cops were more entertaining and more of a tourist attraction than the monument.
This wedding cake is one of my newest favorites. I am always drawn to the simple palette of ivory and white; it is timeless, elegant and is suitable for an event with any level of formality.
This particular cake is covered in marzipan with freesia gumpaste flowers. The elongated proportions and blossoms give it a contemporary art deco vibe.
This cake is a sugarpasted column cake with wrapped sugarpaste to look like fabric. The roses are also made of modelling paste to look like fabric roses. The gold colouring egyptian gold was a special request to match the colour scheme of the wedding.

For a bridal show this weekend. All fondant and edible detailing. Hand painting in gold-not 24kt as it's a display cake. Ruffly rosettes, molded jewels, sugar pearls,etc. Really really loving this kind of work lately, I don't want to do anything else. If I could rename myself Caketress or Cake Opera I would. And Dot too, Dot for her lovely little areas of cake covered in sugar pearls and non pariels.
Made Explore #214 on 8-24-11! Yay!
This was one of the last shots I took on my recent trip to Rome.
It's a view of the National Monument to Victor Emmanuel II. He was the first king of a unified Italy. When I previously visited Rome in 1999, this was closed to the public. However, it is open now. There are lifts at the back which take you up to the very top, where you can get panoramic views of Rome.
The monument is not universally loved, to put it mildly. It's considered by many to be too ostentatious. It has several nicknames: The Wedding Cake; The Typewriter; Zuppa Inglese (literally "English Soup" but a type of layered Italian trifle); and (most damningly of all) The National Urinal.
Wedding cake inspired by the invitations designed by the bride and bridesmaid. Check out my blog post for more details: crazycakecompany.blogspot.com/2008/10/jenny-kao-inviting-...
A most unusual request from friend Sophie, her favourite movie THE CORPSE BRIDE featured on this cake with shimmering blue and purple airbrushed layers and silver glittered hearts but the most time consuming part of this cake was the making of the figurines on the top, they were very hard to make in fondant icing and took me 4 days in total allowing for drying time in between!

Three-tiered wedding cake (vanilla butter cake filled with strawberry puree and strawberry buttercream, plus chocolate butter cakes filled with raspberry puree and chocolate truffle custard)
A 4 tier version of my Pink Ombre Ruffles Wedding Cake. Nicola, the lovely bride, fell in love with the dummy cake I made back in March, so we changed her original order to a 4 tier version of the ruffles cake, with a sugar blossom ball on the top.

A good way to start taking photos with my new camera (Canon eos 450d): I'm a beginner in this field but I love, LOVE it...so any suggestion will be very much appreciated!
White wedding cake. Lace design credit to Greg Cleary, from the lace workshop that I did with him last year. Bow, ribbon, and patterned cut outs are lustred but are not too obvious from the photo.
This was the cake I completed at Planetcakes 105 this week.
Something a little different for me with the colours.
