Well Im excited!

So many exciting things are happening! I am one of those people though that worry if I tell too many people about all the exciting things, then I will scare all those exciting things away! So...I have to pace myself. yuk.

These last few weeks I have been working on so many designs and ideas towards my new website. It is going to be pretty. We had a big photo shoot on sunday which is the first step towards "the new and exciting things" and while I would love to just show you ALL THE PHOTOS again im pacing myself until the new website is up and we can all sit back and enjoy it all together.  So as a little sneak peek of what we got up to, here are a couple of photos... just to keep you going.

 All awesome photos ( so not these ones were taken  by the amazing Samara Clifford )

Lets all practise our patience squeals.

Wedding Pretty

I am severely suffering from a lack of Internet in our new house. Not sure what hurts me the most... not having it there, or how much I rely on using it! 

Here's some pretty picture's to get us through the chaos....

A classic pretty made for http://tommycollinsevents.com/ (just the best caterers ever!)

My Dream Kitchen

Recently I got to work on a shoot, held at the most magical setting. The shoot was done outside but we were lucky enough to be able to have a tour through the house. They were so welcoming, making us coffee and bringing out mugs of sweet potato soup. After that huge heatwave through Melbourne, it was like winter was already here and we were freezing! I must however show you her kitchen. She said it had taken her around 20 years. I hope my kitchen looks this good in 20 years!

I better get collecting!

Miss Ladybird Cakes @ Merchants Guild Cafe

I am so so very proud to announce Miss Ladybird cakes are now being served at Merchants Guild cafe in Bentleigh east, Melbourne.

Merchants Guild is a clean, earthy and industrial style cafe, serving great brekkies and beautiful coffee, with a special blend made for them by Omar and the Marvellous Bird.  Merchants Guild is also the production area for Prana Chai. So at the back of the cafe are huge sacks of cinnamon, star anise, and the whole cafe has that beautiful distinct smell of spices and honey in the air. It is purely delicious!

I am so excited to be involved and have designed and produced a range of cakes for them. Most importantly a Spiced Pear chai buttercake. The pears have been poached in the Prana chai tea for 3 days creating beautiful caramel coloured pears, in a honey soaked buttercake. NOM.

 

For those of you in  Melbourne I thoroughly suggest you pop down and check these boys out! Vinney, Mario and Paul  doing what they do best!

how fun are these little guys!!!

I think a few of you will be fairly happy to know, my famour brownies have made a glorious come back!

250 Edible Golf balls

Yup. 250 Golf balls. I made 250 edible golf balls. I will never ever look at golf balls the same again! These where made from  White modelling chocolate, filled with dark chocolate, salted caramel, and toasted hazelnut. Dimples and all.

Yikes!

Happy New Year/ Valentines day!

Yeah okay I know I'm a tad late. Better late than never I say!

Summer always means holidays and swimming and spending time with family, and well I'm quite bothered to say that I have done none of those! Yikes! have seen the family a tiny bit, havent been swimming, although aside from lying in a spa its never really been my thing, and holidays? pfffft! But not all is doom and gloom, Ive been working my little butt off on some awesome projects! Lots of wonderful things in the pipeline for this year and hopefully I will find more time to share it with you, it is all very exciting!

How cute is this little guy from christmas... My new mini cake stands are the cutest!!

On a more personal note... I made my very first Skirt...With a zip! And I've worn it all day and it is still intact...I'm fairly chuffed if you hadn't figured that out already!

Personal WIN! Just dont look too closely to the stitching!

Well I hope everybody has started their new year off well, happy and healthy!

Jane and Dean

I recently got to pop over to New Zealand to make a wedding cake for my little brother dean and his bride Jane. There's nothing better than making a cake for someone you love. Jane was such a beautiful bride. Unfortunately I do not have a photo of them on the day... I decided to leave that to the experts! But here's some pics of their cake instead:

How beautiful is that venue and colour scheme! It all just came together wonderfully!

I cannot welcome Jane into our family enough and I look forward to the future!

Love MLB xx
