Mini cupcakes



Chocolate with white chocolate icing. Perfect bite sized treats. These ones Katie assisted as she was looking rather lost being at home without her sister after 2 weeks in each others faces. These were a thank you to my dad for cooking us a fantastic dinner and the hugest apple pie I've ever seen!!

Soccer cake and Anzac cookies






This is a cake I made for Owens other gorgeous nephew and his friend who are sharing a birthday party. As the birthday boy's are keen soccer fans I was asked to make a soccer cake. My first thought was "eek!". But it was fun to try something different and although it was a little tricky making sure the fondant covered the cake I think I pulled it off.
It was a chocolate and vanilla layered cake with chocolate filling all suitably egg and dairy free.

And this is the cake with the birthday boys...




Today is also Anzac day so I made some yummy Anzac cookies for the kids to munch on. Ahh Anzac cookies have the best smell when cooking.

I can't believe he's growing up so fast...




Owens nephew turned 11 today and I felt really old all of a sudden. Remembering him as the cutest little baby and now he's on the verge of being a grunting adolescent is too much!
Anyway due to his mum's business being a brilliant success and keeping her insanely busy and leaving her short of time she called on my help for a cake. So I made cupcakes!
These are completely egg and dairy free and I made the icing out of vanilla flavoured soy milk, olivani spread and icing sugar - it came out really fluffy and had a delicious flavour thanks to the soy milk. I decorated with one of his most favourite things in the world - lollies.
Most importantly the birthday boy liked them!
