Circles

We had the pleasure over the weekend of creating the wedding cake and custom invitations/stationery for the lovely Aleisha McCormack; comedian and reporter from Channel 10's The Circle!
Aleisha and Richard got married at the historic Boyd Baker House near Bacchus Marsh in Victoria - a fantastic 1960's architecturally-designed home nestled amongst the dense Aussie bushland.







Aleisha approached us late in 2011 to assist in creating the details for her big day. The brief was simple - use the amazing house and its surrounds as inspiration for a clean and simple design!

Aleisha hand-sewed the fabric bunting and napkins and her mate Kath from Frank Food and Me also made some extra delicious looking sweets for the dessert table. If you've been following Aleisha's wedding journey on The Circle, you'd know that she is a huge fan of incorporating DIY elements in weddings and everything came together perfectly on the day.






The 60's mod-look interior inspired the 'circles' cake design, with the addition of a statement bloom and yellow ombre effect giving it a contemporary twist. The stationery suite featured watercolour lettering along with a hand-sketched illustration of the Boyd Baker house. These techniques were also applied to the place cards, seating chart, table menus, favour boxes and the dessert buffet sign.



 It's a rare treat to chat with the bride and groom before their ceremony so it was wonderful to experience their reactions to the reception set-up and to meet face to face! Congratulations guys, thanks for letting us be a part of  the "Leish Rich wedding team" and for being such relaxed and hilariously funny clients!

Mother's Day at our place + a book giveaway!

We wanted to treat our Mums over the weekend by doing what we love most: baking,
crafting and styling up a little Mother's Day brunch!


































































































We made some delicious tea cakes from the new book by celebrity cake maker Peggy Porschen; Boutique Baking! Peggy's new offering is a collection of recipes and decorating techniques for desserts served in her gorgeous pink London-based Cake Parlour (swoon!). We made the neopolitan bundt cake and the pink Victoria sponge... not a crumb left in sight!




























We love Peggy's new book so much that we had to share by giving a copy away to one lucky reader!  Simply leave us a comment below, even just pop in to say g'day, and we'll announce a random winner on the 22nd May 2012. Competition is open to Aussie and international readers. Good luck!

Recent work and some Cake Ink. news!

We've neglected our blog a little lately as we've been super busy, but we're back and ready to start the New Year with the promise of some exciting new projects!

Firstly, we'd love to introduce you to the newest (& cutest) member of the Cake Ink. family; Samone's little boy Lewis!




Lewis was born on November 24th 2011, and was a teeny 6 pound 5, but is growing super fast! We can't wait to teach him to bake cupcakes haha!! but we are enjoying his baby sweetness for now, and he is keeping Samone super busy!

We're also busily working on the details for Janelle's destination wedding later in the year so we'll be sure to share the progress along the way!


In the meantime, some recent Cake Ink. projects:
