1 week 3 cakes

Hello everyone, well the mammoth cake week is over and i have serious withdrawals. I found i got really possessive over the cakes, more than normal!
The cake week started wednesday and finished on friday when all the cakes were delivered.
This cake was for Jenny's sons baptism, it was a banana cake with chocolate ganache finished with a thin layer of fondant. The cube was 8 inches made from 2x 8 inch square banana cakes.


This cake was for my friend Jacki's sister Cath's engagement on the central coast, the eiffel tower is significant to the couple since this was were they got engaged. This was a carrot cake with white chocolate ganache and a thin layer of fondant. THe flower is my terrible attempt at a peony, i really need to learn how to make this flower, its my favourite and it always looks great as a statement flower.


Finally the american flag cake made for Jenny's friend Mez's 30th birthday, which had an americana theme. This cake was a chocolate mud cake with chocolate mud ganache and fondant.


Over all the week was a big success, however i couldn't have done it without my trusty helper Gen who was there every night, and of course my partner in crime jenny who helped on the friday night.
I would also like to say that we have a facebook page called 'i heart cake' so if you haven't already had a look, please check it out and say you like it!
Well in other news i'm doing a psychiatry block at uni which has been a lovely break after the exams. SO this was the planned time to make all these cakes and desserts!
Furthermore europe is only 5 weeks away. I cant wait to eat macarons in paris and pastry's in austria. I tried to book some cooking classes but the timing was never right, which was a shame. However i thought i'd share some good classes which i would have liked to do...
Paris- lenotre school do desserts and macaron classes and they have a very good reputation
London- squires kitchen is the ultimate cake decorating school, i really wanted to go to this kitchen, Eddy Spence who is the ultimate piper (he piped on lady dianna's wedding cake) teaches here, even anna maria at planet cake looks up to eddy spence since he's such a good piper
London- Peggy Porschen's cakes and schools also looks amazing!

i think i may have to come back to europe to attend all these classes. I also saw the Le cordon bleu class in paris which has a professional baking and pastry class. I really think i want to take a year off to learn to bake from the best (and live in paris).

I also booked into planet cake classes for next year which are out. It's better to book early since there is a 10% discount on some of the courses. I can't wait for the springtime cake which i've been talking about for 2 years, and the time has finally come when i get to attend the class! I feel very nervous since this is the class where students have cried, it may be me (crying from excitement).
Anyways more cakes to come, please email me if you want a cake for a special occasion.
xoxo
