24.01.2022 Im getting into the swing of this slowness. Less than 4 weeks ago I was frantically organising three wedding cakes and one birthday cake for one weekend and now . . . nothing . . . I am so very fortunate that we are in such as position that my business can hibernate and I can hit the ground running when we can again celebrate our lives and loves . In the meantime, I can fill up my IG feed with all the cakes I havent gotten around to posting! This was my last wedding cak...e - Helen and Brett just got in before weddings were pretty much officially cancelled. Yummy luscious lemon zest-infused white chocolate mud with homemade tasty lemon curd and silky vanilla Italian meringue buttercream. This lady was beautifully dressed with romantic blooms from @cabbagesflowershop. #tasmaniancaker #cakesofinstagram #seminakedcake #lemonwhitechocolate #tasmanianwedding #postponedontcancel #onetierweddingcake #italianmeringuebuttercream See more
23.01.2022 Happy 30th Birthday to Hannah! Black and rose gold is beautifully sophisticated , a special request for these colours. Dark chocolate mud cake layered with a whole 1kg jar of Nutella () both neat and used to flavour the layers of silky Italian Meringue Buttercream. Some roughly crushed home-toasted hazelnuts provided some awesome crunch between the layers, a textural sensation! (My daughter was mooning over this so I promised to make the same inside cake for her birthday). A homemade statement black peony, Edible rose gold paint over chocolate ganache and a beautiful #cakingitup stencil was just enough glamour for this girl. #tasmaniancaker #nutellacake #blackandrosegoldcake #blackpeony #sugarflower #cakestencil #elegantcake
22.01.2022 Let me introduce you to Olver. Olver is turning 90! She loves knitting, her garden and still finds time for a little Bridge. She also loves and is loved by her big family who wanted this special cake to celebrate her. The idea for this cake grew from a stunning Alice in Wonderland cake by @laombrecreations - Im thrilled with how it turned out! Beautiful spring flowers in abundance from @lisakingstonflowers at Salamanca today gave me such a creative buzz!! Chocolate mud and s...oft ganache with layers of home made raspberry curd and vanilla IMBC, finished in a semi-naked style with IMBC. Olver herself modelled in sugar paste. Printed images of playing cards expertly done by @creatingcakes. #90thbirthdaycake #tasmaniancaker #cakeart #seminakedcake #whimsicalcake #cakeflowers #springhassprung #sugarpastefigure #cakesofinstagram #tasmanianmade #knittingcake #lovemyjob See more
22.01.2022 Sooooo far behind in showing you guys my work of late! I think there is a direct inverse correlation between how busy I am in the kitchen and how frequently I post to socials! Being slap bang in the busiest part of wedding season, lately I have been having heaps of fun realising my couples wedding cake designs, such individuality and unique ideas for me to create from . But for norm here were my last set of Share Cakes - snapped up as quickly as normal, I cant keep up with demand for these! Looking to do another bunch for the June long weekend (too many weddings and a truck load of quotes to get any done before then!). If you would like to pre-book for June 6th - hit me up with a DM . May also consider offering some cupcakes soon . . . #tasmaniancaker #busyweddingseason #sharecakes #eightflavouredcakes #lovemyjob #cakesofinstagram
21.01.2022 An artistic take on this gentlemans career focus, a retiring cardiologist. The idea for this cake came from an amazing Selleti vase I saw @whimsyflorist called Love In Bloom. Whimsy kindly let me borrow the vase to observe up close to help me to model this cake! Unfortunately I was unable to return it - I fell in love with it and had to buy it! See this amazing vase in my last photo. Lemon white chocolate mud layered with home made soft lemon curd ganache, coated in firm lem...on ganache them sculpted using white home made modelling chocolate. Modelling chocolate is amazing stuff, made with just chocolate and light corn syrup to form a clay that models like plasticine, holds its shape and blends into itself seamlessly. Its only enemy is warm hands! #heartcake #selettivase #tasmaniancaker #cakeart #modellingchocolate #lemonwhitechocolatemud #lemonganache #cakeforacardiologist See more
21.01.2022 Wow. . . Such romance! So grateful to be included in the launch of the amazing beauty Tassie has to offer to couples @brunyislandau Cloudy Bay Beach House. Wild, untouched, private and intimate, beautifully captured by @weddingsbythewilde. I knew just what this launch needed and was thrilled to again employ the unique and ethereal technique of aged stone by @jasmineraecakes to pair perfectly with on trend dried florals by @thefloral_criteria. This cake blends beautifully with... the exquisite design by @artaudandco and is also so interesting up close. This technique turns out just the way it wants to, the skill is to work with it as it develops on the cake, to echo the colour, tone and movement of the flowers, to draw the eye up and around the cake. Simple, yet highly detailed. Preparing the fondant takes days to get just the right balance of dry and pliable medium. I just adore it and am looking forward to creating some more art for my adventurous couples in the near future! Stay tuned!

21.01.2022 Something small and sweet for Francescas First Birthday . Yummy Chocolate Velvet Cake with Ermine Buttercream Filling and soft green luscious vanilla Italian meringue buttercream.

20.01.2022 Why have one cake for your wedding when you can have three? A co-ordinating trio for Amy and Alex . Red Velvet, Chocolate Mud Ganache and Lemon Zest White Chocolate Mud and Lemon Curd with silky vanilla Italian meringue buttercream. These cakes were kindly transported 5 hours away by Alexs uncle and aunt, and arrived safely . Textures on textures, abstract gold leaf and #cakingitup Acacia stencil in gold and white. No base boards for the cakes made transport strategy very... important, but makes for a lovely effect with clean lines. Several gorgeous florists helped with these blooms to get just the right effective to match Amy and Alexs theme - @thefloralcriteria, @whimsyflorist @beautifulflowersandgifts #tasmaniancaker #cakesofinstagram #cakeart #whiteganache #redvelvet #lemoncurd #driedweddingflowers #tryptich #trioofcakes #goldleaf #goldandwhitecake #modernweddingcake #sharpganache #cakestencil #tasmanianwedding See more
19.01.2022 Harriet Mark 12 - my eldest is turning 12 ! Harriet always challenges me with her cake choices - last year was a Harry Potter Unicorn, this year she wanted the scene from Avengers Endgame where Black Widow sacrifices herself . . . Ummm . . no. Guess what Harriet? You are getting a Freak Cake! Luckily, she was quite happy with this suggestion after some initial disappointment . Freak cakes are just this - a cake that is overloaded with decadence and lollies - remember the ...wedding cake that I did a little while back? This cake was a repeat of the Nutella Overload - Harriet is a HUGE fan of Nutella and was very insistent about this flavour! Again, a whole 1kg jar of Nutella, mixed in with Nutella-flavoured Italian Meringue Buttercream and crushed freshly toasted hazelnuts in lots of layers! This was tall, Im glad that it didnt have to travel!! #tasmaniancaker #nutellacake #freakcake #12thbirthdaycake #macarons #lollyoverload #cakesofinstagram #dooooonnuts #ganachedrip #dripcake #italianmeringuebuttercream See more
17.01.2022 Happy New Year! I am WAAAAAY behind on social media, cant seem to get out of the kitchen to show you all the cute things Ive been doing, so Im making a concerted effort this week to update my feed! Heres my Christmas lunch contribution - A Pavlova Christmas Tree! Doesnt matter how messy you get this, it still looks mouth watering! Thick seedless raspberry coulis, orange citrus curd, fresh whipped cream, jewel-like pomegranate seeds, succulent fresh figs and tiny gold stars , there wasnt much left of this after lunch! #aussiechristmas #pavlova #pomegranatesareawesome #pavlovatree #tasmaniancaker
17.01.2022 For Rob and Bree , they loved the Antinome cake I created for Sam and Phoebe - a few twists to make it uniquely theirs X Three different delicious flavours - Red Velvet and Ermine, Lemon White Choc Mud and lemon curd, Dark Chocolate Mud and ganache all wrapped in silky vanilla Italian meringue buttercream. Delicate sugar petals, IMBC white pallet knife painting, glass-like pulled isomalt and edible gold leaf Gorgeous styling @peppermint_bay_weddings by @chestnutandfleece - I wanted to stay and be a fly on the wall! #cakesofinstagram #tasmaniancaker #italianmeringuebuttercream #sugarpetals #isomalt #whiteweddingcake #threetiercake #goldleaf #cakeart
16.01.2022 Last year, Kate ordered Peppa Pig. This year, rainbows! A whimsical little beauty with lots of pretty girly colour . And so Nan could enjoy a piece, completely gluten-free spongy soft dark red velvet with gluten-free ermine buttercream and naturally gf Italian meringue buttercream. #glutenfree #redvelvet #rainbowcake #tasmaniancaker #italianmeringuebuttercream #5thbirthdaycake #ombrecake
16.01.2022 School Fair! Guess who organised the Cupcake Decorating Stall? It was flat out, messy, crazy, exciting fun! The gorgeous Amy @amybuckland_inspire and my tireless hubby made sure everything ran as smoothly as possible. Even the hail couldnt keep people away but unfortunately hail and 100s and 1000s dont mix . Didnt turn em away though! Kids love cupcakes! All kids identifiable (and their parents) were asked permission for their photo in this post, but I got stacks more gorgeous photos of kids keen to show off their creations! #cupcakedecorating #kidsandcupcakes #tasmanianweather #nevertoomanylollies #tasmaniancaker #schoolfair #handsanitisersaveslives @ Howrah, Tasmania, Australia

15.01.2022 Yep, flower overload! This time @lisakingstonflowers is to blame! You can totally see why I had to use them though, one of my greatest joys is to turn up to Lisa at Salamanca at 7.45am on Saturdays and leave with armfuls of her gorgeous blooms! Have to turn up early though as she completely sells out! There is absolutely nothing that compares to her show of colour on Saturday morning - and she often has a wedding to do that afternoon - how does she manage?!?! Laura and Nichol...as wanted something really yummy and chocolate-y and gluten-free-y for the bride! And not too wedding-y - hmmm - note sure I nailed that, I got carried away with the gorgeous velvet romance of the colours! The cake was a soft and spongy moist gluten-free chocolate with soft ganache for filling and exterior detailing. Beautiful venue @ettieshobart is getting very popular - rustic setting in the centre of Hobart is so accessible and you can marry there too - plus so many perfect photography areas close by. #cakeart #flowerart #lisakingstonflowers #ganacheweddingcake #threetierweddingcake #velvettones #glutenfree #glutenfreechocolate #etties #proteas #roses #jasmine #cakesofinstagram #pierisjaponica #tasmanianwedding See more
15.01.2022 A beautiful peaceful venue for Nicole and Rhys @glenalbynestate . This lovely couple asked me to make their engagement cake too, loved it so much that they asked for the same flavour for their wedding cake - Black Forest! Fudgy Dark Chocolate Mud, smooth, real cherry filling, soft ganache and silky vanilla Italian meringue buttercream, and another tier with the very popular succulent Lemon-Zest Infused White Chocolate Mud layered with homemade zesty lemon curd and the same delicious vanilla Italian meringue buttercream. Finished in a semi-naked style and gold leaf to echo the cascade of florals from Glen Albyn x I love how the light in that room made the gold leaf glow ! #tasmaniancaker #cakesofinstagram #goldleaf #blackforest #lemonwhitechocolate #threetiercake #seminakedcake #italianmeringuebuttercream #cakeart #goldenglow

15.01.2022 Couldnt you just lick that drip? I love a natural drip, that just looks like it was effortlessly poured on in about two seconds . It just makes the cake look so EDIBLE - weird, right? This lovely lady was made for the lovely Hayley and Scott who celebrated their wedding at the picturesque Stonefield Brighton which is such a beautiful world away from the everyday to while away an evening and afternoon. She was dressed in picture-perfect blooms from Elise Tollard-Darby - ...thank you Elise! The wedding also featured navy so we decided to use a navy fondant board beneath the cake to really set it off, I love a dark cake base . All time favs lemon zest white choc mud with lemon curd and vanilla IMBC top tier and dark choc mud with thick, rich, raspberry filling and soft whipped ganache in the base tier, semi-naked iced in silky vanilla IMBC - always my go-to for buttercream . Having different flavours in different tiers when semi-naked-iced works best if the darkest cake is the base tier. Happy Wedding Hayley and Scott! #cakesofinstagram #tasmaniancaker #tasmanianmade #stonefieldbrighton #seminakedcake #ganachedrip #weddingcake #tasmanianwedding #italianmeringuebuttercream #restrainedfloral #romantictones #icouldlickthat See more
14.01.2022 Mykaela and Mark knew just what they wanted for their cake design, but I still managed to surprise them: Thank you thank you!!!! Our cake was everything we wanted and more! We got absolutely rave reviews on how amazing it was!! The only downside was that I didnt get to eat any I was so busy dancing and our guests enjoyed it so much they ate the whole thing!! - never fear, M and M want me to make a smaller one for them at a later date so they really can enjoy it with fam...ily and friends! White and green ganache, with the gorgeous Harvest @cakingitup stencil, and a cascade of fresh blooms from their wedding florist @botanicalhobart. Caramel vanilla latte soaked with salted caramel sauce and with the same infused through Italian meringue buttercream top tier, my own succulent Red Velvet paired with classic vanilla Ermine buttercream for the mid tier and light vanilla cake with thick raspberry coulis and vanilla Italian meringue buttercream base tier. #tasmaniancaker #cakesofinstagram #tasmanianweddings #threetierweddingcake #whiteganachecake #whiteandgreenweddingcake #redvelvet #caramelvanillalattecake #vanillaandraspberry #ganachestencil #postponedontcancel See more

14.01.2022 Whimsical gold cake lace, pairing beautifully with Lanis @theromantics__ exquisite orchids! A lady dressed up for her close up at a stunning evening of celebration @monamuseum for the wedding of Monique and Chris. Channeling @laombrecreations - a stunning Canberra based caker- for this design, and I just love it .

13.01.2022 For two gentlemen . Extremely restrained of me, dont you think? A beautiful bunch of dark red roses was to be placed on top at the venue . #tasmaniancaker #cakesofinstagram #squarecake #fortwogentlemen #gaywedding #bowties #restrainedelegance
11.01.2022 For Luke and Nat . I have so loved @laombrecreations in Canberras stunning designs, geometric stencilling paired with floral romance and gold-burnished beauty! I hope I did her signature style justice today! Adore the geometric Emerald stencil @cakingitup Set off beautifully by wedding blooms from @botanicalhobart and stunning orchids from @beautifulflowersandgifts . Yummy lemon white choc, lemon curd and silky vanilla IMBC in the base tier with the top tier golden caramel ...cake soaked with salted caramel sauce and salted caramel IMBC - are you salivating yet? A little quirk - big, beautiful peonies and orchid in the glass cake stand to match the brides bouquet.

11.01.2022 Meet Adalina and Alvaro! They were super excited to attend Emma and Georges post wedding celebration on Bruny Island at the end of October! I have to say, Alvaro looks a bit Lenny-Kravitz-rock-god to me , what do you think? Alvaro is choc full of my take on Black Forest - choc mud cake, layered with gooey chocolate ganache, real, homemade,thick cherry filling and silky vanilla Italian Meringue Buttercream. Adalina is just as scrumptious with my very popular combination of ...luscious lemon-zest infused white chocolate mud, homemade, tart egg-free lemon curd and the same silky Italian meringue buttercream. Both Llamas are dressed for the occasion in modelling chocolate (faces and ears) and coiffed with random swirls of vanilla IMBC. Fondant tassels and sunnies finished them off. These were HUGE - almost Life size! Initially,Their faces were looking incredibly realistic, a chewing mouth and fantastic llama lower jaw teeth - but they started to look rather Halloween-y and although it was the perfect time of year and I thought Emma and George would get a real kick out of it, I decided to tone them down and give them both hearts for noses - after all - they are wedding cakes! Unfortunately I didnt take a photo before I changed them - kicking myself now as it was a hilarious part of the process! Thank goodness for modelling chocolate, so much more workable (and yummier) than fondant for a style such as this, works like plasticine, so mouldable and can blend into itself seamlessly without drying out - giving me more time to work with it to get it just right! @lenckee @lenoot #cakeart #tasmaniancaker #cakesofinstagram #llamacake #weddingcake #tasmanianwedding cake #blackforestcake #lemonwhitechocolate #lennykravitz #llamastyle #noprobllama #llamastylin #modellingchocolate #italianmeringuebuttercream See more

08.01.2022 Now, before you all get excited, they are PLASTIC. No, I did not make the figurines! Realistically, it makes a lot more sense to use quality plastic figurines, match fondant colour, be clever with their placement, and enable the child to have them to play with forever afterwards, than to spend hours and $$$$ worth of time making intricate figures out of sugar. I actually had to watch this movie the night before decorating to understand it properly and make it work for Ahmed w...ho would definitely have known if I did not know the back story! Research! Milk chocolate cake and milk chocolate Ermine Buttercream, milk chocolate ganache walls beneath the fondant, just as he wanted . Happy 6th Birthday Ahmed!

08.01.2022 BANANA!!!! I do feel for the 3-8 year olds having birthdays right now - so hard for them to understand that on this one day of the year, that they so look forward to, they arent allowed to share their joy at growing one whole year older, in the presence of their special friends and families. So if I can raise a smile and help to make some memories, to mark the occasion, I think that is an essential service, dont you? My last minion cake was actually the very first paid cake that I ever did! Way back in 2015! A LOT has happened since then .

07.01.2022 A velvety beauty for Marni and David x I have now made the wedding cakes for three girls in this family - plus a bridal shower, and quite a few birthday cakes and Share Cakes - I am so grateful to the greater Hyland family for their support of my small business! Again, my most popular flavour lemon white chocolate mud and lemon curd with vanilla Italian meringue buttercream for the base tier and Soft Vanilla Caramel Latte layered with oozy homemade salted espresso caramel sau...ce swirled through silky Italian meringue buttercream for the top tier. Due to having three wedding cakes to deliver on this particular Saturday, I employed my dear Dad @brod53 to carefully deliver Marni and Davids cake - my very first employee! He packed it so carefully in his car and drove like he was transporting the Queen But he wouldnt accept any more than a hug and a kiss as payment . (Looking forward to when we are allowed to hug you again Dad!). The sad thing for me is not being able to see the amazing set up by @chestnutandfleece at the venue! The beautiful Janita @beautifulflowersandgifts providing stunning rich coloured blooms for the wedding and for the cake - always love a quick chat and a laugh with you Janita, and you are so careful to choose the sweetest flowers for me #tasmaniancaker #cakesofinstagram #seminakedcake #tasmanianwedding #twotierweddingcake #velvettones #italianmeringuebuttercream #espressocaramelsauce #lemoncurd #whitechocolatemudcake #postponedontcancel See more
07.01.2022 I really find it hard to be restrained when presented with tonnes of beautiful flowers for a cake (VERY obvious in my next cake post!) - they just all deserve to be there and all make my cakes look so superb! I blame Frances @floraldesigntasmania for making it so hard for me ! However I think I managed it with this wedding beauty for Peta and Jackson! It may appear simple, but there is so much to consider when building a cake, such as density, temperature, food safety, amo...unt of filling, softness of fillings, how a cake will transport, choosing the best drip design, how to chill a cake for the best drip, what ratio of chocolate to cream will give the best drip, weather forecast, structural considerations, safety of flowers inserted into the cake - for a few! My cakes are deceptive - they can look thrown together in a couple of hours but there is so much more to it, I assure you! Peta and Jackson asked for a succulent lime-zest infused coconut cake with thick, smooth, blueberry filling and coconut IMBC for the top tier and my ever popular lemon-zest infused white chocolate mud with lemon curd and vanilla IMBC in the base. Structure and temperature were essential to ensure all of this lusciousness did not ooze out of the cake due to the weight on top of each layer! The gorgeous venue @seagrasslongpoint with a stunning outlook onto the Derwent was beautifully set up by Judy and her team and Frances and echoed a real gentleness of the couple that all of us felt .

05.01.2022 Wow, 16 Chelsea Clare Share Cakes done in the nick of time (or maybe a 2am finish Saturday morning but whos timing?). Standard favourites and a few challenges to liven up the conversation! See my previous Share Cake post for description of flavours! I will be offering 8 Share Cakes on Saturday 14th September, thinking about Pumpkin Spice , CookiesnCream and maybe some Royal Elderflower and Lemon . . . what flavours would you like to see me try out in my Share Cakes? #tasmaniancaker #chelseaclaresharecakes #eightflavourcakes #cakecoma #cakesofinstagram #caketasting
05.01.2022 Velvet colours are my absolute favourite and they pair so well with gold. A small but decadent two tier white ganache cake for May and Matt, with a bit of texture to the base tier for some added interest. Janita @beautifulflowersandgifts knew just what I wanted for this cake even more that I did! Lemon curd/ white chocolate top tier and fudgy dark chocolate mud, dark chocolate ganache and homemade thick raspberry coulis for the base tier. I was so pleased with variety of col...ours the @sweetsticksau #edibleartpaints provided for me to blend the colour at the base. You can water these down with rose spirit as much as you like to create a beautiful watercolour effect - looking forward to playing more with these on white ganache . This reception was at the top of a long, steep, bumpy gravel driveway which gave me a few little panics, but oh the view at the top! High above Clifton Beach, you could see for miles! #tasmaniancaker #cakesofinstagram #smoothganachecake #velvettonedweddingcake #sharpedges #postponedontcancel See more
02.01.2022 One of the bits you dont see . . . So much research and planning goes into every cake - how will it stand safely? Llama vs alpaca? How do their ears sit? How do they hold their heads? Will I use fondant or modelling chocolate? How thick should the cake slices be to get the right size? How much yumminess can I put between the layers before it squished out? So many questions before reaching the kitchen! #cakeplanning #llamacakes #tasmaniancaker #drawingisnotmystrongsuit #cakesofinatagram
