alice in wonderland cupcakes

hello everyone, i thought i'd share these cupcakes which i made today. They are for my cousin in law's sister's bridal shower which has an alice in wonderland theme. I actually got the designs from planet cake's class called alice in wonderland cupcakes http://www.planetcake.com.au/courses/classes.php.
I would definitely recommend this class since it is soooo fun and you get to take home 20 amazing cupcakes! Not quite Nigella did this class and you can read all about her experience on her webpage:

The different cupcakes are:
- alice falling into the hole
- white rabbit
- clock
- mad hatters hat
- teapot
- love hearts
- eat me cupcake
- toadstool
I hope you like them! I used planet cake's vanilla cupcake recipe with white chocolate ganache and bakels fondant.
Well the exciting cake week is coming up, i'm so excited but so nervous at the same time. I will post the results next week, if i'm still able to look at cake.

Well my life is finally back to normal now that exams are over and i hope to be posting alot more frequently (because i hope to be making a lot more cakes). Thanks for reading my blog and i hope you like the pictures! (i really need my boyfriend to start taking the photo's, my old iphone takes pretty bad pictures)

its been too long...

hello everyone, everyone? anyone? since its been so long i hope there is still at least someone who reads my blog.
Well life is so good at the moment, i passed my exams and i can finally bake and decorate again, since these activities have been put on hold for ummm about 6 MONTHS.
So to get everyone up to speed here are a few cakes Jenny, Gen and I have made. Oh i forgot to mention in the time when i was away i started a business with Jenny and Gen, called "I heart cake"
So here is what we have done so far...



















Just a note about this cake, its an engagement cake for 2 keen snowboarders and Jenny and I had never made figurines that stand before so it was a challenge! I think they turned out well, go team!

So as soon as the exams finished, my life changed for the better, i went to the snow, the hunter valley for s spa retreat, saw friends again, went shopping, saw movies etc etc
I finally got to do the things that make me happy. I was in such a bubble of exam land, i remember thinking where are all these people going, shouldn't they be studying? oh wait not everyone is studying!
Anyways enough exam talk... more cake talk!

We have 3 cakes coming up which are amazing! An engagement cake for a great friend's sister, Jenny's son Jasper's christening cake and the mighty 4 tiered wedding cake in november with a cascade of sugar roses! I'm actually scared of this cake and i really hope i can do it justice, since the client is an old school friend.

Anyways I will be back soon, since there are so many challenges that face me... croquembouche tower, snow egg and macaroon tower, all this before the 2nd of december when i go to europe!
See you all soon (really soon i hope) xoxo
