Class Christmas Party

2009-12-15T10:15:00.003+08:00

Today my eldest daughter's class is having their christmas party, and each child had to take a plate of party food.....

I LOVE any and every opportunity to make cupcakes, and to play around with design ideas. These jolly fat santas are my own design, and the baby is a design from a popular Sydney cake decorator. Why a baby for christmas? My daughter's teacher recently announced she is expecting, so I wanted to send a little "Congratulations" her way.

Fabulously fun, I can't wait to make these cupcakes again!

Vanilla cupcakes, decorated as shown, from $6.50 each.

Minimum order of 12

Aisha

2009-12-13T21:31:00.002+08:00

Aisha chose a 3 tier (6", 8", 10") with roses separating each layer. Budget silk roses were chosen for this design, how ever you may opt for fresh flowers, or top of the range silk flowers that you would swear were real. "Plain" iced tiers with a white ribbon surround. The bride added a monogram topper at the reception in Katanning.

For the design as shown $580

Happy birthday Caitlyn!

2009-11-07T22:16:00.003+08:00

Birthday cake for Kit Cat (known to her father as Caitlyn), my daughter's BFF (Best friend forever).
Kit Cat is a talented musician, with several electric and acoustic guitars, and is also very good with her keyboard, so I wanted to reflect this in her cake.

Red rose for a splash of colour, while not making it too "girlie"

I hope you girls are having a fabulous sleepover party, and I really hope your Dad gets a little sleep tonight at least ;)

8" white chocolate mudcake. $150

Catherine

2009-10-10T17:32:00.006+08:00

Today I had the pleasure of delivering Catherine and Jason's wedding cake. I walked into the room at the Lighthouse resort, and the sight that greeted me took my breath away! The fabulous team at Creations unlimited were working their magic. Every detail was meticulously coordinated, and my mum (my delivery helper for the afternoon) gasped when she noticed that each vase on each table was wrapped in the exact same lace that surrounded the cake!

Catherine's taste in decor is exquisite, as is her taste in wedding cake (and baker :P )

Standing at approx 12" tall, and weighing a tonne! The top double tier was an 8" white chocolate mudcake, and the bottom double tier was a 10" Mississippi mudcake. With white icing and white roses, wrapped in lace and pearls supplied by the bride, this cake matched the reception perfectly.

Catherine's photographers are the extremely talented duo, Mike & Kylie, from Pixel Magix, and I wait excitedly for photos from their big day to land on their blog (UPDATE: Their photos are up! What a beautiful wedding,couple... bride. The image below is taken by Pixel Magix)

For the design as shown $760

2 weddings and a birthday weekend away...

2009-11-01T18:12:00.005+08:00

Another busy week for cakes! First up is Kelly, her design was a combination of 2 cakes. An 8" and 12" offset square, gluten free mudcake. Decorated with hand made fondant shells and pearls, dusted with blue lustre.

Next up is Amanda. We have been looking forward to Amanda's wedding for sometime now! Early in the year we met Amanda and her lovely mum when they called into our store and found the exact dress she had been looking for, for her bridesmaids.

The design Amanda chose is a mix of the traditional and the contemporary. All tiers being different shapes added to the visual appeal (with the fruitcake and chocolate cake with chocolate ganache filling adding to the taste bud's appeal!), top and bottom tiers were quilted with gold cachous, with the middle tier featuring a fine heart piping. The purple cord was supplied to match the bridesmaid gowns, a fun yet romantic topper, and some of the most beautiful and life like silk orchids I have ever seen! Now, please excuse the bad (ok terrible) photos, my good camera was in Walpole with the rest of my family, but I will upload some better shots when the superb photogs @ pixel magix add them to their blog!

Last but not least is my fabulous father in law, Pat. It's his birthday tomorrow (Monday), so his lovely wife Jenny organized a family weekend away, for the very large Kane clan (10 kids & 10 adults). I couldn't pass up the opportunity to show him how special he is to us all, with a special cake! After delivering Amanda's cake to the Italian club (which Janine had done a fantastic job of decorating!), I picked up a few items on the shopping list my husband sms'd me earlier in the morning (who knew you could sms from a phone box!?!?!) and my fabulous sister-in-law and bro-in-law-to-be drove me down to Walpole, and we joined in the birthday celebrations!

What a week!

2009-10-24T18:21:00.006+08:00

This week saw 3 cake orders, all "last minute".

First up we have Belinda & Aaron's engagement cake. A cute design, "Two hearts", with a simple heart spray, and a mouth watering choc mud / white choc mud swirl center.
For the design as shown, $220

Next is Racheal & Daniel's wedding cupcake tower. 40 Mississippi mud cake cupcakes, iced with vanilla butter cream swirls. Sprinkled with silver cachous and hand made blossoms which have been dusted with blue luster, the over all effect was light and pretty.
Cupcake design as shown $4.50 each. Stand available to hire with order.

Last, but by no means least, was little Joseph's christening cake. Now this little man is the cutest little thing, and is destined to be a heart breaker!
His lovely mum Chloe chose an 8" Mississippi mud cake, with a patchwork design on the sides, and little Joseph's name spelled out on train carriages. But the show stopper on this cake is the little sleeping baby. Hand made by myself, and shaded for realism, this little baby has to be seen in person to be appreciated.
For the design as shown $165

So one very busy week for cakes indeed.
A blackout last night lasting several hours, right in the middle of baking, resulted in 2 dozen cupcakes landing in the bin, a quick whip up of a new batch, and a 5am bed time.

It was more than a little stressful, and saw me making a fondant baby by candle light!

Today was a little "hazy", as I'm sure those who spoke to me this morning at Affordable Elegance may have noticed :) I look forward to an early night tonight, because tomorrow I start on next week's cake orders, 2 wedding cakes over 2 days.

2009-10-03T15:14:00.004+08:00

Noelle

2009-10-02T15:33:00.003+08:00

What a crazy, mad week for cakes! This week was my first mid week wedding cake.

A design of mine that is proving popular, plain iced with satin ribbon to co-ordinate with the bridal colours, and a simple bling buckle, in this case a heart. Other options are round, oval, square, rectangular or the Coco Chanel "C" logo.

For a 6", 8", 10" cake as shown, $395

Affordable Elegance's 1st Birthday

2009-09-29T19:58:00.004+08:00

It's hard to believe it has been 1 year since Affordable Elegance opened it's doors in Bunbury. It has been an amazing whirl wind journey! So many lovely brides, bridesmaids, and cute as a button flower girls and page boys. Thank you to all our past customers, and we look forward to helping you again in the future with christening gowns and a dress for that special dinner date ;)

Lainy & Glenn

2009-09-27T20:12:00.003+08:00

Glenn's 40th birthday was celebrated in style, with his lovely wife Lainy ordering a birthday cake that celebrated everything that made Glenn... well, Glenn!

A mini Glenn sat atop his "tool box", wearing his work uniform. Glenn is a keen drummer, electrician by trade, handy with a computer, and a Mr Fix-it around the house. Not forgetting the '74 Monaro and Mitsubishi ute he is lovingly restoring, hence the GTS and Mitsubishi badges.

Measuring a grand 16"L x 8"D x 5" high, and EVERYTHING (with the exception of mini Glenn's mini drumsticks) being entirely edible! $450

Sharon

2009-09-26T15:43:00.003+08:00

Sharon combined 2 of my most popular designs, lazy love hearts and sugar rose petals, incorporating the colour of her stunning silk Gee Gee gown, Lola, with the satin ribbon in "ecru". A beautifully romantic cake with each petal a subtle heart shape.

8" fruitcake with 10" mississippi mudcake, decorated as shown, $350

Louise

2009-09-19T19:33:00.003+08:00

Louise's cake consisted of a 12" Mississippi mud cake, with off-set 9" & 6" fruitcake tiers. Burgundy ribbon to match her wedding gown, and frangipani with diamonte picks to tie it all together. Finished off with a little bit of simple draping and a spray of hearts.

Price for this cake as shown $670

Michelle G

2009-09-09T18:50:00.003+08:00

I had the pleasure of helping Mother-of-the-groom, Michelle, plan her son and daughter-in-law-to-be's wedding cake.

The final design was a 2 tier "Barrel" cake, with Swiss dots, satin ribbon and rhinestone buckles. It was to be an intimate family gathering, which didn't require a large amount of cake, so Michelle opted for the bottom of each "barrel" to be foam, with the top of each consisting of fruitcake.

Family cakes

2009-08-30T00:31:00.005+08:00

My cousin-in-law's daughter is turning 1! So today we held a little party for all the little cousins to play and eat some fairy bread. My present to Rayne was her cake! It was a little last minute as her mummy and daddy are moving house, and her party was brought forward a little bit. But several REALLY late nights later.....
I dropped in some cupcakes for 1 of my many sister-in-laws on Friday, just as a special treat. 6 mississippi mud and 6 white chocolate mud with dark chocolate ganache and sprinkles.... EVERYONE loves sprinkles ;) The aromas coming from the box were drool inducing!

Lisa

2009-08-30T00:25:00.002+08:00

A last minute wedding cake order. Lisa requested a simple design with black and red ribbons. The topper was added by the bride after it was picked up, so unfortunately I do not have a completed photo.
