Spring 2012

I'm a cold climate person..... I love the cold.  I can eat more, sleep better and I love the rain.  I always think there is something romantic about how after the rains everything is clean and new again.  A fresh start and a beautiful rainbow at the end of every storm.

Idealistic perhaps, but what is life without beauty?

It's been a busy spring season.  So busy in fact, I can only just now...at almost the end of spring, sit down and gather my photos and complete this post.

Firstly some of the cakes coming out of the studio.


 
Thomas the tank for Kaeden - who's full moon and first birthday cakes were also made by me.
 
 
 
Peppa the pig for lucky little Piper
 
 
An uber cool Metallica cake for not so little Banis
 
 
 
 
A super cute Dora the Explorer for Chloe...who decided at last minute that it was Dora she adored and not Dorothy the dinosaur as first planned!
 
 
A ginormous cake modelled on Ritzi's design (Planet Cake) for Russ' Games of Thrones gala, to feed over 100 party goers.
 
 
A somewhat smaller party for Rachael, but nevertheless just as cheeky with Stitch making a grand appearance.
 
 
A back breakingly high stiletto for Shafiqah's 21st birthday party.  Swish with Louboutins, diamontes, pearls and Givenchy all perfectly themed with a ride in a pink Humvee limo and dinner at Rockpool.
 
 
Miss Piggy also made an appearance at Naei's birthday this year!
 
 
Sure looks like she'll be loved.  :)
 
 
An absolutely awesome Red Angry bird for Rasul.  Was so sad to see this one leave.  I wanted to keep him for myself he was so cute. 
 
 
 
Fun and colourful cake pops for Noon's birthday.  Its nice to be 21 again....wink wink**
 
 
 
Another Thomas the Tank cake for my darling godson Isaac.  This time on a yummy tiramisu cake.  Isaac sure loves his trains!

I also managed to put together an entry into the Perth Royal Show, this year attempting the novelty section with mixed success.   We were also delighted with so many of our students winning awards in the decorated cakes sections as well as the cookery section - particularly in macarons!
 
 
Did you see her at the show? 
~~~
 
Talking about pops..
we were also delighted to be part of the Sounds like Summer event this year.  Organised by Toybox international, with proceeds going to the Cancer Council.
 
 
It turned out to be a beautiful evening with loads of beautiful people, including current Miss Universe Australia, Renae Aryis.  All who got to enjoy Gage Roads wines, Herb's Faust Food & our summer flavoured macarons in the trademark Cancer Council yellow.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Behind the scenes, we had macarons everywhere!!
 
 
 
 
 All for a very good cause!

We also put together this gorgeously styled engagement party for Jenny and Kudzai that simply oozed sophistication!
 
 
 
 
Cake, Macaron towers, Rosewater marshmallows, mini cupcakes and cake pops made it onto the cake table.  It was just like a page out of Style me pretty!
 
~~~
 
After all that hard, hard work.  I decided that I definately deserved some R&R and so, I finish this post off with the stunning unspoilt beauty of Monkey Mia.
 
 
 
 
 
Hope you all had an amazing season too!

Whirlwind of classes

I have some exciting news to share!

Our little cake school is moving into a new home!


By the end of June, Cake Love will be in our new studio on Cambridge Street in Wembley and all of Margie Carter's amazing July classes will be run from there.  Happy dance!  Wiggle wiggle (as our cake idol Min would say).

Thank you to all your support for helping us get into our own home!

Whilst we are on the topic of classes, here are the great photos from our classes in April & May!

First up was the Classic teapot!




Perfectly round orbs ready to be decorated.  They really could've just as easily have become soccer balls, or globes or even a disco ball (that's telling your age!!)



So many interesting design and all so cute!!
And we even had a couple of special guests in class - Our Miss Universe WA Contestants, Alison & Sophia popped in for a visit. 




And our teapot cake at the Ronald McDonald house, in time for the Cancer Foundation's Biggest Morning Tea!

Next up, something for every fashionista....the killer Stiletto!



By the end of day 1, it looked more like a warehouse than a cake class!


And look at the marvellous results!




Enough to make Monsieur Louboutin (and me) very happy!

~~~~

After Stiletto, we moved onto the delicate feature flowers. 








*Contented sigh* 
Don't they look amazing and almost real enough to want to stop and smell!

~~~~

Handi's last class for May was of course his famed figurines.


Sure was wonderful having so many talented cake artists with us for class

Award winning cake artist Melissa of Fun 'n' Fomal Cakes


and Clare of Clare's Cakes - all the way up from Geraldton for class!

~~~~

After all that caking, you think we would've stopped for a breather...but no, Glenda & I launched straight onto our Classic Beginner class and Basic Baking Science workshops!









Hmmmm..... Chiffon cake with double cream and mixed berries....I wish I had a slice, right now!!

~~~~

So I'm going to finish off with some of our truly fabulous upcoming classes at the Cake Love studio!

Margie Carter's Karma Cameleon and realistic Porsche 911 Masterclass 



Chocolatier extraordinaire Julie Whitehead's decadent Chocolate classes - learn how to temper courverture chocolate and make amazing chocolate treats, cakes and even 3D chocolate flowers!



Handi Mulyana's Classicly elegant Double Barrel and Topsy Turvy High Tea Masterclass



 and of course the much anticipated Haute Couture Cakes with the Caketress - Lori Hutchinson!



More wiggling!!
