This week was testing for Cake decorators around Brisbane for sure. With the temperature barely rising above 23 deg C- I was lulled into a false sense of security, the lovely temperatures weren't going to effect the icing, or decorating process his week- Until- it rained- and rained! Whilst we are in the worst drought ever- I can appreciate the necessity for rain- even though it does play havoc with the decorating process. So with my brand new Air conditioning system running on DRY to remove the humidity from the air- everything worked out a treat!
I had one of my New favourite designs to create this week- this gorgeous three tier quilted cake, with double strung diamonte crystals around the base. It looks every bit stylish, yet pretty at the same time.
With both the bride and groom deciding on the flavours- this cake had a white chocolate and coconut mud base- and the top two tiers were Red velvet cake.
Those of you who have never heard of Red Velvet cake- it is a popular flavour in the USA. A super moist, slightly denser than a Victoria sponge, and Bright red in appearance- this cake is one guests will sure remember.
Layered with a vanilla Butter cream, and finished in the rolled fondant- until this cake is cut- the guests will be none the wiser. The clients chose this flavour to fit in with their red and white theme. If only I could have seen the cake plated up!
So If you would like to try some thing new- This cake isn't for the diet conscious!
I am looking forward to another week of beautiful cake designs- and chilling out in the Air conditioning whilst I do the decorating ;)

This Blew me away!
Early on Monday morning I received the following email:
"SARAH-JANE
WELL WERE DO I START.....
WHEN MY SISTER ARRIVED WITH THE CAKE ON THE COAST I COULDNT WAIT LONG ENOUGH FOR THEM TO GET IT OUT OF THE CAR SO I JUMPED IN THE CAR TO TAKE A LOOK
THATS WHEN THE TEARS STARTED... IT WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CAKE I HAVE EVER SEEN, EACH QUILTED PIECE LOOKED LIKE A LITTLE FLUFFY PILLOW
THEN WE TOOK IT TO THE RECEPTION SATURDAY MORNING AND AS YOU WILL SEE BY THE PHOTO IT LOOKED PERFECT IN A ROOM FILLED WITH DIAMONDS
THEN TO THE CUTTING... AND EATING
WE CUT THE CAKE AND AS WEDDINGS GO WE WERE TOO BUSY TALKING AND MISSED GETTING ANY OF THE COCONUT MUD AS THE GUESTS DEVOUERED IT IN RECORD TIME TOO QUICK FOR US TO EVEN AS FOR A MOUTHFUL
BUT WE DID GET THE RED VELVET AND IT WAS ABSOLUTELY HEAVENLY WE COULDNT HAVE WISHED FOR MORE.
THEN I FLEW OUT OF BED THIS MORNING TO SEE IF WE HAD MADE IT TO YOUR WEB BLOG (THAT I READ ON A WEEKLY BASIS) .... WE MADE IT !!!!!! YEAH YEAH
FINALLY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING SUCH A WONDERFUL JOB ON OUR CAKE AND FOR PLAYING A VERY IMPORTANT PART IN OUR WEDDING
SHANE & KIMBERLEY SMITH"
I am blessed to have such fabulous clients!!! Congratulations Shand and Kimberley!
good day!
gorgeous cakes you have here.
how do you do the quilt design on the cake? do you use an embosser?
thanks you.
Hi Jaleesa
The Quilting is done by hand- using a template that I make for each cake- then marked inti the icing using a straight edge blade.
