25.01.2022 Phoebe's choice for her 11th birthday - Happy birthday, Phoebe! #elegantslice #birthdaycakescanberra #canberracakedesign #canberracakemakers

24.01.2022 This RAAF crest was made last year, to celebrate the RAAF’s 99th birthday...... then COVID-19 struck and everything was cancelled. The crest was stored in an airtight container and kept in a dark cupboard and it survived perfectly. Today it will sit on top of the centenary birthday cake. #elegantslice #raafcentenary #caketopperscanberra #canberracakedesign... #canberracakemakers #raafcrest #alledible #sugarart See more

23.01.2022 Group shot - 3 of this weeks cakes. This was a stressful week due to the amount of humidity in the air. All of the decoration for these cakes was made well in advance. Prep work is essential when making custom cakes for a couple of reasons - firstly, having all decoration ready to go means that all I have to do during the week is bake, ganache and ice the cakes then assemble all the icing pieces when the cakes are ready (one of the reasons I always recommend clients book thei...r cakes early - with plenty of notice I can accommodate more cakes in a week because the work load is spread over several weeks) Secondly, all those flowers, mosaic tiles, cranes etc. need time to set before they go on their cakes, the humidity this week meant that a lot of my prep work was starting to soften - the air conditioner worked overtime this week and luckily everything firmed up once the rain had passed! #elegantslice #bespokecakescanberra #madetoordercakescanberra #canberracakededign #canberracakemakers

19.01.2022 Good afternoon friends, clients, followers and anyone who just loves cake. In light of the governments restrictions on indoor gatherings of more than 100 people due to the COVID-19 outbreak I have had multiple cancellations or postponements of upcoming cakes. These are crazy times and we are all uncertain what the future holds, but we all need to adhere to the advice the government has offered. If we follow the new rules the impact on all of us will likely be less than it has... been on other countries around the world. I feel so bad for anyone who has had to put their party on hold but understand completely the reasons for doing so - I’m in contact with some pretty upset brides-to-be at the moment, devastated that an invisible bug has spoiled their big day I’m finding it pretty difficult to source ingredients too - with all the unnecessary panic buying, small businesses like Elegant Slice can’t easily get what’s needed to create cakes. I am still open for business, but have received very few enquiries as people’s focus turns from planning parties to ‘let’s just take it one day at a time’ When all of this has passed, and it will, I’ll still be here to create your cakes, so don’t worry that you’ve had to postpone - you’re doing the right thing. While it’s bad for my business, it’s not just about me, many other businesses are in the same boat and we just need to stick together and get through this. Stay safe, look out for each other and I’ll be more than happy to make your ‘f***-you, COVID-19’ cake, or any other, when we’re able to party again! All the best, Julian

12.01.2022 I love my job! I know I’ve said this many times before but it doesn’t feel like work. When I receive something like this, it just ‘puts the icing on the cake’(cringe, sorry ) Big Trev’s cake will be posted this evening, after he has seen it.

12.01.2022 Many happy returns, Big Trev! The brief for this one was fishing, Holden and 'Miss Pip', the dog - Alana again gave me pretty much free reign over the design for her Dad's cake. #elegantslice #birthdaycakescanberra #fishingcake #holdencake #canberracakedesign #canberracakemakers #bespokecakescanberra

11.01.2022 Happy 80th birthday to a the RAAF Chaplains Department! This was from a few weeks back when the Chaplains had a small gathering to celebrate 80 years.

07.01.2022 Good evening all. Here is an update regarding what has.......or more accurately, has NOT been happening at Elegant Slice since COVID-19 appeared, forced us into lockdown and disrupted all our lives. When lockdown was introduced and gatherings outside the usual members of our households were banned, thousands of businesses were negatively impacted - this was particularly felt in the travel and hospitality industries......for obvious reasons. My business dried up completely, ov...ernight - no parties, no cake! Since restrictions started to ease I have been receiving enquiries for cakes again, slowly at first, but now picking up quite significantly week by week. Many people who had cakes booked in with me had to postpone their events and now, with parties able to go ahead, many are requesting their cakes. With new requests coming in all the time I am super busy once again, but as a one-man-band, can only do so much. Obviously, all postponed cakes take priority and I will try my best to honour your new date, though that can't be guaranteed. As soon as you know the new date for your event, please contact me so I can make preparations. Prospective clients too, please get in early, as it can be difficult to fit cakes into my schedule, last minute..........but with some forward planning, no one need miss out. I hope you are all doing well despite the virus pretty much derailing 2020!!!! Here's looking forward to a brighter future, parties.........and CAKE...........but sensibly, let's not forget how many lives have been disrupted this year, so ease back into things and be cauctious and stay safe. Kind regards, Julian
