Inside the 8″ cake is a moist orange sponge covered and filled with orange buttercream, decorated with fondant.

The fence is made with chocolate fondant with cows, pigs, chicks and lambs sticking their heads out

The grass is piped green coloured vanilla buttercream.

Happy birthday Finn, hope you had a good one! xxx

We baked red velvet, chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with a marshmallow & cream cheese icing and topped them with red flowers.

We wish the happy couple a lifetime of happiness together with their loved ones. Here’s to the next 40 years and more! x

It was so much fun to construct this cake. We baked two vanilla sponge cakes, one of which was carved in a dome shape, filled with vanilla bean buttercream and covered in bread colour fondant.

The burger patty is actually a brownie, baked in a round tin and the texture just looks like the actual thing, don’t you think?

Mayonnaise is in fact buttercream and the lettuce and tomatoes are made of fondant. The chips are shortbread cookies double baked for a nice yellow colour, rolled in brown sugar for a bit of texture.

Happy 16th birthday Jack – so glad you loved your cake! xxx

Simon’s one of us, his favorite film is Despicable Me and he absolutely *loves* the minions. Months before his birthday, he asked me to make him a minions cake for his birthday and I gladly agreed to… Oh I loved making these little dudes! I made them with added tylo powder to the sugarpaste to make it dry hard so he could keep them afterwards (and he does!).

It’s 4 layers of vanilla bean sponge filled with cream cheese icing, covered with vanilla sugarpaste and topped with three cheeky minions

Happy birthday Simon, enjoy your minions cake and I hope you’ll have a wonderful new age! x

Everything was pink in the baby shower – cupcakes, cookies, decorations, the whole table setting. Baby Maya sure is a very lucky little girl!

I made the baby shower cupcakes with a vanilla sponge and strawberry cream cheese icing. I piped the icing on half and topped with little bottles and the other half I covered with pink sugarpaste and decorated with a pink and purple bunting.

Butter cookies came in as little feet with pink strawberry flavour royal icing or bunting made of sugar paste. I also made letter cookies to write Maya

Can’t wait to meet little Maya and I wish her a lifetime of happiness and health! xxx

Here’s the happy yummy mummy with her cakes and cookies, waiting for her guests to arrive – she doesn’t have a clue what an amazing party it will be yet:

Inside of the cake was soft and fluffy vanilla sponge filled with vanilla bean buttercream and covered with sugarpaste.

I decorated the cake with sugar paste clouds and stars, topped with a hand-made gum paste vintage airplane.

An airplane cake was quite appropriate for someone in travel industry I thought, plus it matched the theme of the party he planned for the weekend!

I also made matching cupcakes with little airplanes, clouds and stars – vanilla sponge topped with Mandalina Bakery’s signature cream cheese icing, so yummy and light!

Happy birthday Andrew, many happy returns! x

I really liked the end result birthday cake with the rough edges of the cake and how the little stars stuck on the icing. To complement the stars, I made the truffles with orange coloured and orange flavoured chocolate and they tasted much better than they look! I had a spare one to test, see… And a couple more not to waste anything, just because I made too many in the first place, of course!

Here’s a happy Michael with his cake:

She planned an army themed birthday party for Tristan’s 7th birthday and I made a camouflage cupcakes with army decorations and a matching cake.

For the cake, I baked the vanilla sponge in camouflage colours (which was a surprise), iced with chocolate ganache and covered with camouflage pattern sugarpaste which was so much fun to make! I couldn’t photograph the inside of the cake of course so Emma kindly sent me a photo afterwards.

For the camouflage cupcakes, I piped 3 tone swirls made with the same colours of the cake and hand made stars, army rank insignia and hand bombs as decoration. As I was working with quite dark colours, I sat the decorations on light colour florist paste circles before putting on the cupcakes and the result was quite good, if I may say so myself!

I’d like to wish Tristan a very happy birthday once again and I look forward to making his future birthday cakes too as his mum Emma comes up with great party ideas! x

I made New York themed cookies – New York Taxi, I love NY tshirt and Empire State building – and mini cupcakes in the theme colours, white, yellow and gray.

I packed the cookies individually to go in the guests’ goodie bags and the cupcakes were all around the shop to nibble on.

Always a pleasure to work with Miss Bush and of course it was a fab event!

We baked their wedding cupcakes and a cutting cake decorated with sugar butterflies and petunias in purple and ivory. We baked hundreds of chocolate and vanilla cupcakes, wrapped in butterfly patterns and sprinkled with lots of glitter…

Wedding cupcakes were displayed in a 6-tier cupcake tower with the cutting cake on top. The cutting cake was an 8″ round sponge cake. Inside, sadly we can’t see, was 3 layers and 3 shades of purple sponge filled with a light buttercream icing and covered with marzipan and fondant.

We wish Diren and Matt a lifetime of happiness together! xxx
