I made this Lady Hat Cake Topper for my Lady with a Hat birthday cake. It’s a simple but elegant hat made out of cake, covered with gum paste and decorated with fresh flowers. The hat brim should be at least 5 cm (2 inches) more in diameter than the cake you are making this […]
Brownie Santa
If you want the looks of a professional cake but you’re not looking to put in as much effort, then this Brownie Santa will give you just that. Ditch the cake layers and fillings and just bake some brownies in cake pans. Stack the brownie layers, cover them with a bit of white chocolate ganache, […]
Pull-Apart Christmas Tree Cupcake Cake
This Pull-Apart Christmas Tree Cupcake Cake is the best alternative to a traditional Christmas cake. It’s so easy to make that I guarantee you will get great results even if you are new at cake decorating. You can even get your kids to decorate it! I used mini chocolate cupcakes and a simple, 2-ingredient mascarpone […]
Savory Cake
This is the first Savory Cake I made and I had so much fun assembling and decorating it! We love smoked salmon and cream cheese so I decided to use these as the main ingredients for this savory cake. If you’re not into cakes, you can find some other delicious appetizer recipes on my website […]
Wedding Anniversary Cake – Chocolate Cake with Wild Berries Mousse & Chocolate Mousse
This is our 13th wedding anniversary cake – a delicious chocolate cake filled with chocolate ganache, chocolate mousse and wild berry mousse. The frosting is the chocolate ganache buttercream I shared with you before. Also, I sprayed the cake with a thin layer of tempered chocolate. I fell in love with the velvet texture I […]

Spider Cake
While the Ghost Cake was the kids’ favourite one, this Spider Cake was my favourite. I loved creating a cute 3D cake without having to use fondant for the details (which I almost always use for my custom 3D cakes). Also, I enjoyed covering the Spider Cake with the velvet texture made out of chocolate. […]
Ghost Cake
Out of the three Halloween cakes I made this year, this Ghost Cake received the highest number of votes from the kids – for both flavour and looks. I used a chocolate cake. However, if you don’t like this, you can use a vanilla cake or have a look at this section of my blog […]
Halloween Pumpkin Bucket Cake
This Halloween Pumpkin Bucket Cake is easy to make and is great if you don’t like working with fondant. It’s also a fun cake to make… the kids are undecided what they like more – the cake or all the goodies in the “bucket” :-)! I used vanilla cake. However, if you don’t like this, […]
