Easter bunny cake

Easter cake with bunnies and carrots :-). This one was made for a charity event in Valetta yesterday - a cake decorating competition, and this one won first prize! I was delighted and it was great fun. Hopefully an event like this will come around again soon :-)





 
 
 
 




Crocodile cake

Crocodile cake for a 5-year old birthday boy:-). Inside it was a vanilla sponge with vanilla bean buttercream filling, tinted green :-).




Pink and brown macarons

Pink and brown are very pretty together, makes for very girly cakes but it will always make me think of the magnificently beautiful almond trees here in Malta, which blossom in Spring, with very delicate and beautiful pink flowers :-). These macarons were filled with milk chocolate, dark chocolate and blackberry truffle. All delicious and looking very cute, wrapped up and ready to go :-)









Synchronised swimming cake - pool

A lovely eight year old girl, seriously into synchronised swimming, wanted a pool-cake with her and her best friend in it! The board alone took a loong time to make but came out cool in the end :-). The cake inside was lemon, with a lemon curd buttercream filling.


 
 
 





1920s murder mystery cake

A friend of mine was having a murder mystery dinner, set in the 1920s, so I made this cake with feathers, sequins and a (blood) red rose :-). The cake itself was coffee and walnut, with an espresso buttercream filling, ganached with dark chocolate and finally covered in sugarpaste.
