25.01.2022 Happy New Year, Cake Lovers So I made this here collage... and sadly I realised there are so many cakes I didn't post and/or get pics of this past year. There's probably a resolution in there somewhere... (I think it was last year's too!). Anyway! Some professional highlights for me; saw 2 of my cakes on the local news (both for welcoming new airlines to Cairns Airport) and my carousel cake, that I'd always wanted to make, won champion of show at the Cairns Show, as judged... by Greg Cleary. Thanks for the continued support, I really look forward to discussing (and creating!) your special occasion cakes for 2018!!
24.01.2022 Hi All! I am pretty excited (as I was this time last year) to share this little girl's very special birthday cake! This Mum has exceptional taste. Two tiers of delicious vanilla cakes filled with silky smooth Swiss meringue butter cream frosting, coated with chocolate ganache and finished with my homemade marshmallow fondant. The beautiful cake design was inspired by the fabulous work of theCakeWorks. Love the lemon, lime and pink colours together.... A very sweet way to start 2018.
23.01.2022 Hello Cake Lovers! Not gonna lie - this was a DOOZY. The hardest-to-make topper I have ever made. This kind of structure couldn't be done with fondant - and so this is polymer clay, folks. A precious, personalised keepsake that will last forever. ... Yes I DO make toppers for individual sale! And I can post anywhere. Please email me to discuss; the price for these are as individual as the features on the bride and groom. [email protected]
23.01.2022 Hi All! A funky slideshow for something different! This birthday Mum reeeeally wants an Audi R8... no matter how unsuitable it may be for the block up in the tablelands! It was my pleasure to make one for her in cake instead. ... Red velvet cake, vanilla swiss meringue butter cream frosting, chocolate ganache and delicious homemade marshmallow 'Samoa Orange' fondant. Hope you had a fabulous 50th birthday party, Kylie!
22.01.2022 This was possibly the best looking party I have ever seen! The cake and cake pops looked like they had truly come home. Thanks so much for the post Anna you are always a delight and happy birthday for Friday!
21.01.2022 E M M A - Emma! This cake flew up to Weipa for a very lucky little girl's birthday party. (Much to my own 2 year old's dismay - she wanted to sit and look at this forever!)... Pink-tinted white chocolate ganache finish with marshmallow fondant stripes and bows. #cairnscakes #emmawiggle #emmawigglecake
21.01.2022 Hi Cake Lovers! I know I haven’t posted much this year, lots has happened for my little family in the past 6 months. The mojo is coming back though. Especially with this news that I’m really excited to share with you - I have been nominated for the Brides Choice Awards by Tropical North Queensland Weddings! ...

It is also an opportunity to nominate and vote for the other services that helped to make your special day. If you were happy with our service I’m sure we would all really love and appreciate your vote! Voting closes this Friday 29th June. Thank you!
20.01.2022 Hi folks. Some more Rapunzel cake spam - I mean angles. Just love making cakes with a difference!
19.01.2022 Hello! Yes, long time between posts for me. Still cake-making in the background but I have had to slow down a bit, with lots of life-stuff going on. Including a toddler who doesn't understand WHY it's not her birthday and WHY she can't eat all the cake. Still! I have some cool cakes banked up to share and I'll start with this one. A John Deere tractor cake with edible sugar cane crop for a very special 21st birthday. The tractor needed to serve 100 party-goers so it was a biggun! (Coffee mug in collage pic to show proportions). The wheels were also fully edible; made with rice-krispie-treats and modelling chocolate. The sugar cane was made with wafer paper.
19.01.2022 Hi Cake Lovers! Another white chocolate ganache covered number cake - this one for the boys. My first fondant Henry the Octopus! And I gotta say - Henry your outfit is a doozy. Making plaid with fondant... is just not fair. Started getting the hang of it by the last leg.
18.01.2022 Hi All! Man oh man - I been bizzay! Check out this McNuggets cake - it's so fun haha! Cake - chocolate cake, vanilla Swiss meringue butter cream frosting, chocolate ganache coating and homemade marshmallow fondant finish.... McNuggets - rice krispie treats covered with modelling chocolate. (and then airbrushed). I also completely designed and printed the custom keepsake laminated tray liner (which you can't really see as there appears to be a massive cake covering it) and the edible images - the first ever printed on my new printer. Which I Have made some pretty cool-themed cakes already this year! And have lots of enquiries for more to get through (sorry it's taking me a momentous amount of time to respond to an email - I literally cannot keep up at the mo!). Check you later!
17.01.2022 Another repeat customer. This lovely lady has purchased a beautiful cake for her sister and this one was for her Mum. I hope I can make her own milestone cake one day! (Make sure sis has my details Kiki!) Fresh blooms from Kerrie at I Do Flowers FNQ and I Do Weddings FNQ.
16.01.2022 I love making cakes for this family - they give me a theme and I create! (It's more rare than it sounds!) This is their fourth, delicious cake. Flamingos are great birds for cakes amiright! ... Am always looking forward to this family's next birthday!
16.01.2022 Hmm I wonder if there are any Cowboys supporters around these parts... My first ever footy cake! Chocolate cake, vanilla swiss meringue butter cream frosting, chocolate ganache and homemade marshmallow fondant finish. And edible images made by me also! *this still excites me to say as my edible printer is still my newest toy ... #cairnscakes #cakeartist #cowboyscake #footballcake
16.01.2022 My 2 year old was so excited when she saw this cake! Had to do a close up of her sweet little face - will post the whole cake in a bit. #cairnscakes #cakeartist #caketopper #emmawigglecake
14.01.2022 Hi hi! Needed to add the pics to my page so here's another post of this Audi R8 made for Kylie.
14.01.2022 Hi Cake Lovers Shortbread sand and wafer paper coconut tree fronds = perfect cake for a beach-themed 50th birthday celebration at The Surf Club in Palm Cove! Even more tropical on the inside - a delicious mango cake with fresh mango chunks, mango swiss meringue butter cream frosting and a drizzling of mango curd. Fresh and YUM!
13.01.2022 Hi All! Aussies - hope you're all enjoying our Australia Day long weekend This sweet Skye cake has been carved from a scratch-made chocolate sheet cake, filled with vanilla Swiss meringue butter cream and finished with tinted white chocolate ganache and homemade marshmallow fondant decos. Fondant Skye also handmade by me.... Homemade because it's YUMMIER! Swiss meringue butter cream because it's YUMMIER! No preservatives, no packet cake mix, no packet fondant.
11.01.2022 Hi hi! So y'know what? I LOVE Tangled! It's one of my favourites (very underrated and overshadowed I feel - not mentioning any names [ELSA])... and I have been wanting to make a Rapunzel cake for years and years! The hair portion of this cake is truffle mix (like big cake pops) covered with modelling chocolate. All good n yummy. ... Cake was chocolate with vanilla Swiss meringue butter cream, chocolate ganache and finished with homemade marshmallow fondant. Rapunzel was painstakingly hand cut piece by piece and her dress looks really gorgeous if I do say so myself... shame really that there is so much dang hair in the way! #cairnscakes #cakeartist #rapunzelcake #tangledcake
08.01.2022 I loved making this cake Lots of techniques were used in creating this Tinkerbell teapot house, involving 3D cake structure, rkt log, modelling chocolate mushies, royal icing moss, handpainting and figure making to name a few. Didn't want to hand this one over! ... #cairnscakes #3dcake #tinkerbellcake #teapotcake #birthdaycakecairns
06.01.2022 Hi All! Creeping out of the woodwork for a Harry Potter cake. Coz I love it! This mandrake baby cake was made for an expecting mum (yes, a hardcore HP fan) so we cuted it up a bit. ... The pot is chocolate cake with Swiss meringue butter cream frosting filling (and chocolate bickies dirt) and the baby was made from rkt and modeling chocolate.
05.01.2022 This 21st Key cake was a monster! So big I had my cake-husband (he just loves it when I call him that) make a custom board to hold it. This was an exact replica (even in size) of the actual key that was carved for this young man's milestone birthday. What was carved in wood was made with cake and fondant. More kgs of chocolate cake than I even know - certainly didn't fit on my scales!... I really enjoyed this challenge. And very happy to hear it was a highlight on the night.
