Sunny Girl Cakes

February is often referred to as the month of LOVE with valentines day coming around fast.

This week I was asked to make an Anniversary cake for a good friend of mine who has been married for 32 years. He surprised his wife with this gorgeous cake.

This is a different style than I usually do. White Chocolate shards. Yumm! White chocolate mud cake filled with white chocolate ganache and finished with White chocolate shards. Topped with sugar paste roses.

I loved how it turned out :) Skye

This weekend Weddings at Tiffany's opened its doors to the Sunshine Coast for all to see. Yesterday (Saturday 12th Jan) the coast turned on a stunning summer day with the temperature soaring above 30 degrees. Inside the gorgeous air conditioned chapel and reception area it was cool and lovely with breath taking views of the Glasshouse Mountains.

We at Sunny Girl Cakes loved showcasing our of cakes and enjoyed speaking to lots of couples about their upcoming wedding. Couples were offered samples of our delicious cakes and chatted about ideas and different designs. We took two display cakes which Karen from Karen Buckle Photography was generous enough to photography while she was there.

This cake is a sugar paste finished design with a hand made sugar peony. The lace drape is also made from sugar paste and the gorgeous pink ribbon picks up the soft colour of the wedding theme without being overbearing.

Our second cake was a more retro look with hand made bunting and sugar paste details to match the bunting. This type of style could be carried through from invitations to the cake to really personalise your wedding.

Hope you like our designs and if you would like to see more or speak to Skye, don't hesitate to call or email and we will be at the Sunshine Coast Bridal Showcase at Novotel Twin Waters Sunday 20th January if you would like to pop in and say hi.

Angie and Gavin were married at Noosa Waterfront Restaurant and Bar on Friday 4th January.

Their cake was a stunning three tiers of cherry ripe mud cake finished with rich chocolate ganache and covered in white sugar paste icing.

Hand made sugar roses topped the cake and the brooch added a real touch of glamour to the bow.

You can find this cake featured on the The Brides Tree a fabulous inspiration web site as our first cake of 2013.

Well 2012 is almost done and we have had a fantastic year.

So many cakes went out from the Sunny Girl Cakes kitchen I though it would be nice to have a look back at some of our favourites. (Im trying to pick three from each month .. ohh its not easy)

Back in January 2012 what better to serve up on Australia day than a good old Aussie thong for a young girl called Summer. And a beach themed cupcake tower for a wedding at Sunshine Beach and Rose's 21st cake with all its black and white glamour and height.

In February it was Sammy's gorgeous 21st cake topped with a giant cupcake. We created a gorgeous black and white ruffle cake display for a photo shoot and Jess and Ben were married at Lily's at Twin Waters their cake was topped with personalised figures made from sugar.

In March we had Max's 4th Birthday cake - Lightning McQueen, a darling cute christening cake for a little boy and girl Oscar and Sophia and Isabella's princess cake. What a pleasure these cakes where to create. Loved the sweet details.

In April we had Easter! This picture of our Easter cupcakes has been pinned and repinned on Pinterest which is exciting for us. Rochelle and Cameron were married at Weddings at Tiffany's and Dale's wife surprised him with this Essendon Football Jumper for his 30th Birthday.

In May we created what has turned out to be our most popular wedding cake it has been recreated three times since. It was Shara's wedding cake with cascading dusted pink roses. Then Scarlett and Dan were married at My Place in Coolum and her felt flowers were replicated on the cake from sugar. Kelly turned 40 a small celebration warranted a personalised cake.. She loved it.

June brought the cold weather but that didn't stop the cakes. Some baby shower cakes to start with for Michelle who was getting ready to pop. Then Jess married Wade on a very wet day on the Sunshine Coast but their cake was stunning. All in white fondant wrapped cake based on a design by Cake That. June also meant the exciting time of the Sunshine Coast Bridal Showcase. This meant I could come up with four new display cakes! the red ruffle design is one of them.

July .. So many cakes to choose from in July... One of my absolute favourite cakes is Mindy and John's wedding cake , Layers of blue fondant wrapped around three tiers of cake with a fade into white. A very dear friend of mine Maree celebrated her birthday and to thank her for all he hard work she does taking photos and helping me out at expo's I did her a cake for her birthday. July is also the birth month of both my children so of course their cake has to feature here. A little less pretty than the others but still worth, Darth Vadar head.. That bled when we cut it! ohh so awful.

In August just some of the beauties we created were Shaye and Jay's wedding cake who celebrated at Palmwoods. A very cool Spiderman cake and cookies for Oscar and some awesome Simpsons cupcakes for Dylan.

Also in August I was a finalist in the Young Sunshine Coast Business Woman of the Year Awards, which was nice to be apart of.

September.. was a very busy month. One of the cakes that bought as a lot of excitement here at Sunny Girl Cakes was the giant strawberry for the opening of the Real Food Festival. It was a fun cake to make and was exciting to meet the Mayor of the Sunshine Coast. We also created many wedding cakes during September including this gorgeous pink and white wedding cake for Kristy topped with hand made sugar frangipanis.

October was a busy month for weddings. To choose just three is very tough. I was just loving the fresh flowers of Michelle's cake the lillies were stunning and the Orchids that topped Jacqui's cupcake tower are amazing. Amy's ruffle cake was gorgeous at the Weddings at Tiffany's location in Maleny.

November started with romantic sugar roses for Susanne and Paul's wedding cake. Lara and Tim were married at Montegos Kawana Island and their cup cakes were Red Velvet with cream cheese icing which is to die for. The gorgeous fresh flowers continued with Chloe and Dylan's wedding cake topped with these amazing flowers. I have to mention that also in November we made 720 cupcakes for Youi insurance's 4th birthday.

December brings more weddings but then of course the excitement of Christmas.
Samantha and Trent were married at the Turf Club Caloundra and chose this Love cake design. These sweet pink cupcakes were for a special celebration and of course some Christmas cakes to finish off the year.

There were so many cakes I couldn't feature them all. I would like to thank everyone that ordered a cake from me especially those who trusted me to make their wedding cake. I loved every one of them.

Thank you to everyone that has followed my year of cakes, gave feedback, and shared my page or told someone about my cakes. Its been an amazing year and I cannot wait for what is to come in 2013.

Cheers Skye

This gorgeous cake was organised by Laura's cousin Carly and the groom Matt because Laura didn't know she was getting married. A 40th birthday party turn surprise wedding was the party today. What a gorgeous suprise for a husband to organsie for his bride. Wishing you lots of love Laura and Matt. x
