Noah’s Easter Christening
A week before easter, I received a phone call from a lovely client who wanted a cake for her dear little grandson’s Christening which was to be celebrated on Easter Sunday. When she casually mentioned that his name was Noah, I knew right away that this would be an opportunity to create something very special. Our family has a Heavenly son called Noah and I felt such a heart connection to this display.
Pink milk & cookies
It has been quite a year this year! Not only have we said farewell to our oldest son as he ventures out of the nest to embrace his future, but our darling youngest baby has just turned two! Not a big deal to a lot of people I guess, but when you have been pregnant and birthing babies for almost twenty years, this is a milestone indeed! Not so much having a two year old, but having a two year old and not being pregnant with the next one!!!! This is a first for Mama Bear.
Shabby pink & mint Baby Shower
What could be sweeter than planning a gorgeous shabby baby shower for a dear little girl called Imogen? I was delighted to have the opportunity to create this display using soft pink, mint and white as the colour scheme. I wanted everything to be easy on the eye and full of feminine flair!
Blue Ombre Celebration cake
These celebration cakes were made for a sweet lady turning 70.
She was wearing various shades of blue, so I chose to make an ombre ruffle cake with matching cupcakes.
The cakes were chocolate with orange & cinnamon and lemon curd with vanilla buttercream.
Burlap and Lace baby shower
Welcoming new life into the world is one of the greatest joys we can experience.
Whether it is a first baby or a fourth, each new life needs to be celebrated.
Our vintage Christmas
It is my absolute pleasure to share with you our family Christmas dinner. I enjoyed all of the preparation immensely and honestly found it all so simple to create the look I was after. I chose rustic red and white for my colour theme, bringing in different textures and fabrics as well as combining vibrant red and whites with more earthy natural tones.
I loved using brown paper and string with bells and wooden christmas decorations to wrap the presents and display them throughout the table.
Yellow vintage baby shower
I had the immense pleasure of planning and hosting a baby shower for a friend of mine who is expecting her third baby. She loves bright colours, particularly yellow and orange. I decided to go with a yellow vintage theme…not too soft and pale, not too bright and cheesy….a beautiful mix of yellow ginghams, checks, brown spots and a few little duckies.
Loving lilac
One of our dearest little Lambs turned 6 last week. Such a sweet little thing.
A real cutie patootie!
Each year in October our two Jacaranda trees blossom.
They are a sight to behold.
This year I decided to start a new family tradition and have at least one tea party under the beauty of these remarkable trees every Spring.
Down by the sea – baby shower
When I was asked to make a feature cake and cupcakes with a sea/beach theme for a baby shower, I was pleasantly challenged. After researching all of the possibilities, I knew that I wanted to to create a show stopping display which had an authentic beachy feel about it.
The feature cake was a dark chocolate mud cake with Kahlua buttercream, and the cupcakes were rose & vanilla with white chocolate shells and sugar shards topping the vanilla buttercream.
Congratulations to the beautiful new Mama to be.
