French North Sydney Markets

Hello Everyone!!! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!!! I know I did :) Not only because there was beautiful weather but because I also had my French themed North Sydney market stall on. That was probably the most fun and lively market stall I've had to date. There were so many people and the weather was just perfect!! There were blue, white and red balloons up and live French music was playing, the whole day was just so great!

To get into the whole French theme I decided to make cupcakes with typical French icons on them. Naturally I had the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, French poodle and an "ooohh la la!" hahaa I also did a special cupcake with a pate a choux on it as well.

She was my favourite - Frenchy Poodle!

 

Pate a Choux

I made a display Croquembouche... cant get more Frenchy than that!

Lemon Meringue Tarts

Creme Brulee - these were gone within the first hour!

I had quite a selection of macaron flavours this time: Raspberry and cream, Lemon Lime, Double Choc, Lychee, White Chocolate, Hazelnut (Gianduja) and Lavender and Honey.

My cute little easel card holder!

We were right next to the fountain :) 

Mini cupcakes - so many times there were crying kids and as soon as the parents gave them one of these they instantly shut up, it was quite cute and hilarious to watch.

The most awesome thing was we sold out within 3 hours so that meant a well deserved early mark for The Dainty Crew!! :)

Cake Cake Cake

Hello Everyone!

So, long time no post because I've been caking like a maniac!!! lol Anyways thought I'd touch base and showcase some of the things I've been up to :)

80's Themed Basketball cake

When I was asked to make this 80s themed basketball cake, I must admit I had to scratch my head at what that actually meant. Turns out she was having a fancy dress party for her husband and everyone was going in cool retro basketball outfits with afros!! How Funky!! Hope this cake fit right in, with all the complmentary colours to make it bold and stand out. The cake was strawberry and vanilla and the top was chocolate with chocolate ganache.

Baby Cake

I have to say I loveeee making baby shower, baby themed cakes.. think the cuteness is just so totally my style :D I was asked to make another full month baby cake for the cute baby Jonathan. His mum wanted his cute little Nike shoes as the topper so with 4 photos of each side of the shoes to go by. I did my best to replicate them in edible form :) I love the little toot toot cars soo cute!!

Wedding Cake Tasting

I had my very first wedding cake tasting last month!! I was so nervous! I made a total of 4 cakes with some petit fours too. The flavours I showcased included:

- Lemon and Coconut

- Hazelnut and Chocolate

- Red Velvet 

- Double Choc

FujiFilm Finepix X100 Cake

This was such a fun cake to make!!! When my clients sent me the link of this Fujifilm camera as inspiration I thought to myself. "I just have to replicate that!!" so lo and behold here is what I came up with :) 

The Final product... 

I didn't have enough time to take proper pics of this cake so we just took some quick ones outside Soho before the birthday boy came out the club to pick it up lol

Croquembouche and Cupcake Mania

Once again, I do apologise for the retarded photo quality! :( It was taken with the iphone... who decided it wanted to be temperamental and have a black screen when taking pics (Dont ask why - coz I got no idea!)

These lovely sweets were made for an engagement party. There was a croquembouche and a cupcake tower filled with lovely vanilla and red velvet cupcakes :)

Also, a quick reminder incase you missed it on Facebook and Twitter. I will be at the North Sydney markets this Sat selling all the lovely treats such as cupcakes, macarons, tarts and puffs! If your free please come down and give me a shout!
