Hunter Valley Wedding Cake

There's nothing quite like ...

an elegant white wedding cake!
I really do love making all different styles and colours of cakes but for romance I think it is hard to beat a beautiful white wedding cake. I finished the above cake this morning for a lovely couple who are getting married through the week at Jenolan Caves. The two tiered cake is finished with a white lustre, piping base and starglazer lillies.
Congratulations Lee and Ami we wish you every happiness in your lives together.

Jenolan Caves Wedding Cake

Zokoko

I recently stumbled across beautiful quality dark chocolate. Zokoko (named after the goddess of chocolate) is a pure indulgence for the lover of fine chocolate. With a beautiful range of Easter products available, including 80g bunnies for only $10 and a set of 3 chocolate chicks for $12, I highly recommend dropping into their Emu Planis store or visiting their stand at the SMH growers market Pyrmont.

Simply stunning wedding cake

So I am without a camera at the moment but one of the cakes we made this week was just too lovely to miss a photo op. A big thank you to Alison for dropping in especially to photograph this cake.

Black continues to be a popular wedding colour and the use of black ribbon on such a simple and elegant cake is striking and sophisticated. I love arranging flowers with a variety of styles and sizes as you can see in this photo below. It adds more depth and beauty to the arrangement.

Hopefully my camera will be back this week so that I can start uploading other recent cakes that I haven't gotten around to sharing.

Wedding Cake Manly

Back into it!

Hi Everyone
I hope your January has been fun and restful. Mine certainly has. I have come back to work revived and ready to rock 2010. It seems a lot of my clients agree and are booking in the most gorgeous cakes.
I have just met with the most lovely couple and am reminded again at how delightful my work is.
Just the one wedding cake this week. The bride requested some last minute changes that changed the cake quite a bit but it looks lovely and quite cheerful I think with all that red!
I have had a couple of gingerbread orders and if I repeat a design I don't ever worry about posting it here. Below are an incredibly cute bride and groom couple that went out last week to Adelaide. So cute!

I also wanted to say a big thank you to the lovely readers of my blog for both reading and to those that write to me. I thought I might bravely put out the option that if you would like a topic covered just to email me and let me know. It could be cake decorating based, design based or even events planning based - we'll see how we go :)

Have a wonderful week.

Til next time, Belinda

Updates at last!

It has been a while since I've had a chance to update photos on my blog and keep in touch. So here we go.....
A simply stunning 4 tier black and white wedding cake.
Pretty in pink - gorgeous cake and cupcakes for a 21st.

Anyone that has spent any time with me lately would know that chocolate brown and green is my favourier colour combination at the moment. I think these cupcakes are just stunning!

Last year I had the pleasure of making a wedding cake for Sonia and Allan. Allan apparently loved the cake so much that Sonia decided to surprise him with this comical cake for his 40th birthday.

What 5 year old boy wouldn't love this cake?

More gorgeous black and white themed weddings.The artwork on this cake was a replica of the gorgeous etching on the wedding invitations.

A fun engagement cake.

A stylish engagement cake - complete with my favourite colour combo at the moment.

This pretty wedding cake was designed around these cute love birds that had been a gift for the bride and groom on their engagement.

On a personal note it has been wonderful and a true privilge to make all of the gorgeous cakes, cupcakes and gingerbread orders over the past 12 months. I have been blessed with a fabulous team and would like to say a huge thank you to Alison for your incredible talent and creative inspiration. To Rebecca for being patient and an absolute wiz in the office. And to Olivia, Petra and Liesel for all of your fabulous work with "all of that gingerbread".

I hope all of those reading have had a fabulous Christmas and may 2010 be full of hope, blessings and love for both you and your families. I hope you have the chance to take a much needed break - I sure am!

Til next year,

Belinda

From the Heart

One of the wonderful components of Edible Creations is our Gingerbread Fundraisers that have been a great success this year for many schools, preschools and organisations. I wanted to make a way to use these wonderful cookies to raise money for a cause that I felt passionately about.

The Penrith Valley Fund was the cause that I ended up choosing as it is a way for money raised in our area to go directly to charities working in this area.

I recently attended the launch of The Fund and was literally moved to tears as I learnt about the homeless that live in our city and the plans the Fund has in supporting and helping to restore people that are caught in this predicament. Sure there will always be people that choose to be homeless but many of those on the streets or living out of cars are not there by choice. Sadly many are single mums and children, the mentally ill, people that have fallen on extreme financial hardship with no family to help them out and of course there are those that have fled homes that were not as safe as the homes that we were fortunate enough to be rasied in.

The money raised from the sale of the Gingerbread Trees will go towards supporting the following charities this Christmas: The Penrith Soup Kitchen, Barnardos and Fusion (specifically families in crisis).

Gingerbread Cookies can be purchased in boxes of 20 cookies and each box costs a total of $40 (or $2 per cookie). 25% of all sales will go directly to the Fund. The cookies make fabulous gifts, christmas platters, tree decorations and would look gorgeous tied to each gift you place under the tree this year.

Of course we would also be more than happy to have others that are passionate about the cause on-sell the gingerbread to their freinds, relatives and colleagues.

Please email me on belinda@ediblecreations.com.au or call 02 4754 1044 for more details.

Til next time,

Belinda
