Don’t you just love the roaring twenties?
The perfect theme for a 40th birthday celebration!
Hand painted ruffles finished with bronze shimmer!
Lots of bronze ‘art deco’ detail, and the design wouldn’t have been complete without a feather!
Both tiers were Caramel Mud with white chocolate ganache.
Happy birthday Catherine!
I have been rather lazy with my posts of late (sorry!)
so a little catch-up seemed like a good idea!
Enjoy!

As a mother of three boys, I enjoyed every inch of this very pretty Christening cake.

Highlife is a stunning magazine of international standard, based in Bowral in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales.
Last year I was privileged to work with the Highlife Creative Director Renee Bennett and Chief Photographer Tony Sheffield.
The result was an article titled ‘Tingles on the tastebuds’, as published in the February/March issue now on sale.
Within the article I share some of my best recipes and tips for creating your own dessert table at home.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts on my first ‘real’ writing job. Highlife have been kind enough to send me a PDF file of the article to share with my readers – click on the link below and enjoy!
Happy New Year – I have missed you!
It has been such a busy time with the boys over the school holidays, but a lovely time has been had!
2013 is shaping up to be a very busy year for me with a diary full of wedding bookings.
I look forward to sharing my creations with you, as well as a few surprises along the way!
I leave you now with my first cake of the year, which also made it through to the Daily Top 3 over at Cakes Decor – I was thrilled!
