Birdcage Veil Inspired Cake for a Fashionista

A birdcage veil inspired cake design set a ultimate statement style for my fashionista sister in law.
A hard structured tulle was artfully held in place with a handcrafted sugar flower.

Some freeflow sugar flower petals to accentuate the dramatic silhouette.

Welcome to Scones n Whatever

Hi there,

My name is Kim, thank you for stopping by!

This blog is a compilation of all my cakes creation for the last 3 years.

7 years ago, my best friend, Joanne, passed away. It was a tragic loss to me. She was a great baker and her famous lemon cake was dearly missed by her parents. Her sister, Jessica, handed me her kitchen aid mixer on one condition: continue to bake her famous Lemon Cake! On her 4th anniversary of her passing on, I decided to pay a tribute to her by creating a 2-tier cake with an angel figurine on top. That was when I started pouring through books and websites on cake decorating; there was no turning back!

I was a bridal designer for 12 years and currently a stay at home mum. Cake decorating allows me to continue my journey of creativity. I am so fascinated by the art of sugar craft, especially sugar flowers. I will continue to update this blog from time to time, stay tuned!!!

Ruffles with handcrafted sugar ballet shoes

Inspired by the ballerina's fluffy tulle, this cake is covered with rows of fondant frill in the shape of rosette ruffles.  Three tender strawberry layers make this cake tall enough to show off the rosette frill effect.

 

Ballet shoes was crafted out of sugar and it was left to dry many days in order to achieve that natural arch.

 



Cake flavour was strawberry cake with strawberry swiss meringue buttercream.

Circus Tent Cake

This cake was done for my grand nephew which was celebrating his Big 3!!!
The little guy requested a circus cake with giraffe and this was what I came up with.



Little giraffe was a little too lonely so I have made an elephant and seal to join in the party!

 

 

It was a happy day for Kyler surrounded with family, yummy food and lots of  present.

 

 

 

 

Kids were so fascinated with the handcrafted sugar animals.

 



 



Cake flavour was chocolate sponge cake with chocolate ganache, passion fruit swiss meringue buttercream and caramelised banana.

Flower Power Inspired Cake

Colourful and organic flowers reminiscent of 1960's flower power era.
To date, this is one of my favourite piece.  The cake design was inspired by floral print of Flower Power era. 

Love the free flow of the colourful pastel petals around the cake!
