SHE BAKES

Wedding Cake Topper

Jacquie — Wed, 08 Aug 2012 02:07:53 +0000

A week after we got back from our honeymoon a very talented friend of mine offered to photograph the remaining top three (faux) layers of my wedding cake. The result was stunning. I’m blessed to have incredible friends.

Of course I made my own wedding cake, the original cake was 6 tiers, I chose to make the top layers faux and the bottom real. All the flowers are handmade gumpaste flowers by yours truly.

Cake Fight!!

My soon to be hubby and myself wanted some original engagement photos… we aren’t really the type of people to sit in a park and stare into each others eyes so we did this instead….

Oh! I made the cake! (its done in our “wedding colours”)

Enjoy!

Cake on the fly…

Jacquie — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 15:36:57 +0000

General Manager came to me at 6, just as we were starting service and told me he needed a birthday cake for a VIP party of 16 sitting at 8pm. VIP was a friend of the chef’s and apparently a contestant on Top Chef so I wasn’t allowed to use my ” in the freezer on the fly back up cake(s)” for events such as these…. so I pulled this together in an hour and a half…

Layered cake: Chocolate sponge, roasted pistachio mouse, Alba truffle, ricotta cream and salted chocolate glaze.

Sweet 16 Cake: Blink 182

Jacquie — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 15:35:33 +0000

A friend of mine from work asked me to make a cake for her little sister’s sweet 16 birthday party. She loves Blink 182 so that was the theme.

Enjoy!

Summer Peas and Berries

Jacquie — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 05:56:53 +0000

This is the dessert course I served as part of a tasting menu we did for a fellow chef. It was a summer pea cremeux, with a strawberry sorbet. I also added dollops of creme fraiche for a bit of tang and garnished with compressed strawberry slices and pea-shoot frawns.

Peachy pre-dessert

Jacquie — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 05:50:10 +0000

We had a chef friend of ours coming in for the evening to dine tonight so we put together a nice 10 course original tasting for him. This is what I served him for a pre-dessert. Its a roasted peach sorbet, sitting on a small buttermilk biscuit and I finished it with some bee pollen. It turned out really lovely.

Strombolli

Jacquie — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 03:55:21 +0000

The chef’s famous Strombolli bread., Layers of fresh white bread, cured salami, fresh mozz, basil and garlic. It was a full time job ensuring that front of house didn’t eat it all before service.

(please excuse the picture quality, iphone and kitchen lighting isn’t always pretty)
