Gingerbread Houses

30 Dec

A big Merry Christmas to all the MAD ABOUT CAKES fans and readers out there! This Christmas season was one of our busiest yet, our ovens are still cooling down and our elves are taking an indefinite nap, but we did have time to do a few Gingerbread Houses that are so pretty you might just want to live in them…then eat them!

Each house was of course built by hand and then decorated with intricate piping designs, fondant roof tiles and snowflakes and a healthy dose of pearl and silver cachous.

A gorgeous twist on the common Gingerbread House and a unique gift for friends and family!

Thank you for all your support and love in 2014 and can’t wait to continue baking and spreading the cake love in 2015!

Tool Box Cake

8 Sep

My brother turned 18 and wanted some fancy shmancy toolbox for his birthday. So I gave him a tool box, just not in the way he was expecting. I gave him an entirely edible tool box cake made from a delicious Gluten Free Chocolate Fudge Cake layered with delicious Peanutbutter and Jelly Frosting.

The cake was stacked and coated in a thick chocolate ganache. I then covered it in red fondant and airbrushed it to achieve that shiny metal effect. Added details such as the hand painted handles finished off the toolbox. But, no tool box is complete without tools!

final 2

Every tool, nut and bolt was handmade, airbrushed and dusted for a realistic finish and was entirely edible. Although my brother may never be able to use this toolbox, he most definitely can eat it!

The latest novelty cake creation by MAD ABOUT CAKES is a hand sculpted frog cake!

Carved from rich and mouthwatering gluten free Chocolate Fudge Cake and covered in a healthy layer of Vanilla Bean Frosting. His arms and legs were crafted by hand and an airbrush was used to achieve all of his fun details such as his brown spots and slimey appearance! He rests on a lilypad, surrounded by water and pretty hand made flowers. Everything is edible and all of him is delicious!

Car Wedding Cake

28 Feb

Talk about non-traditional wedding cakes! This bride and groom wanted to incorporate their baby into the wedding celebrations so we made their ‘Honda S2000’ into an edible centrepiece and unique wedding cake. We made the entire car edible – modelling chocolate wheels, fondant seats and car accessories, a gelatine lemonade flavoured windshield – and the rest is GF Choc Fudge cake!

To create the bridal theme, the car sits on top of sheets of light and fluffy Vanilla Bean Cake layered with Vanilla Bean Frosting. Airbrushed with a pearl sheen and decorated with a quilted pattern. And just to make sure we added ‘Just Married’ number plates and some rattling cans strung to the bumper.
