Happy Birthday My Mr Roo!

Saturday, June 12, 2010

I can't believe my Spencey-roo is now 2 years old! He absolutely adores Toy Story and I wanted to attempt to ganache and cover a cake so this is what I came up with.


The cutting cake is chocolate mud with layers of chocolate ganache...so moist and delish! And the cupcakes are Vanilla Cake with Vanilla butterecram. The toppers are Woody's hats and boots and Buzz's spaceship.

Spencer was so excited about his "story" cake and that's all I needed to make me happy! He had an absolutely fantastic time at his party and was very spoilt with his beautiful presents.


Today I made some first birthday cupcakes I will post them tomorrow...Happy Caking everyone,










Come fly with me...

Remember recently I donated some cupcakes for a Relay for Life fundraiser? Well the Relay for Life was run this weekend in Cairns and one of the participants in my friends team was celebrating his 30th birthday.


Being a pilot he likes all things planes, cupcakes are no exception! I really liked how these turned out, it was good to practice the clouds as I will be making some for a very special birthday cake this week!!


And this chocolate love buttercream is sooo yummo, it tastes like chocolate mousse!

I have a big week coming up with my beautiful baby boy's 2nd Birthday and a 1st birthday order on Sunday.

Happy Caking,

These chocolate lover cupcakes where created for my sister-in-laws friend. It's her birthday today.


The theme was purple, country, girly pretty flowers and bows...hmmm I think I pulled it off.



I love the little cowboy hats! Will be making them again for Spencer's toy story cuppies, can't believe my baby is nearly 2.






More cupcakes for friends to come this weekend.

Happy Caking,

Blueberry to be exact!

A friend asked me if I could make cuppies for her Granny's 80th birthday, the only stipulation was they needed to be purple.

So purple they were :o)


My first attempt at blueberry buttercream and it was delish! I imagined it would be as any flavouring added to Italian buttercream is yummo.


Chocolate and Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla American and Blueberry Italian Buttercream.

Don't forget to get down to the Red Beret for you yummy coffee and Cupkate this week!!
