Pink Golfer's 70TH

Golf theme party ideas are a great way to celebrate the person who loves golf, such as my dearest parents-in-laws! Golf isn't just a sport - it's about relaxation, focus, the beautiful outdoors, and getting together with friends!

Cookies are baking MAMA’s weaknesses. This time, I was glad the taste and the presentation turned out superb. I made these golf ball cookie favors for our younger guests. Approximately 3” round shaped vanilla cookies covered with our delicious white fondant. I used the texture mat to create the texture of the golf balls.

To order, there are available in Golf ball, Foot ball, Basket ball, and Baseball.

We were travelling to Sydney from Brisbane by car. Therefore, I didn’t make a cake as planned for my father-in-law.

This beautiful cake was ordered through “Planet Cake” in Balmain. http://www.planetcake.com.au/ The flavour was chocolate mud cake which was sumptuously rich, moist layered and filled with a dark chocolate ganache.

It was truly the centre of the whole celebration.

HAPPY 70TH BIRTHDAY, DAD

Happy baking~

Race Car Birthday Cake

This is the cake I made for a co-worker’s hubby's birthday back in December 2010! She wanted something that her kids would enjoy. I gave her an idea of a car themed cake. The main criterion was "no girly colours!" I think we were successful on meeting that criterion!

It is a four inch dark chocolate cake with our super yummy dark chocolate ganache filling. Underneath the fondant decorations is a layer of the oh-so-good milk chocolate gananch.

I absolutely love the checkered border around the bottom of the cake!! It definitely takes the race car theme to a whole new level! I also did a couple checkered flags.

And now for the decorations!! Once again, all of the decorations are made out of gumpaste! The race cars were based off of a tutorial we found on Cake Journal. They ended up being super easy to make!

Happy decorating!

My Valentine's Day 2011

Valentine’s Day is a very special day for everyone in love; the day when people celebrate love, romance and affection.

This Valentine’s Day heart-shaped cake can be a very special and unique to surprise your love. Heart shapes, red, pink and white colors are the most popular for Valentine’s Day.

While my hubby doesn’t enjoy the fondant as much as most people; this was the inspiration for me this year to make a heart-shaped Valentine’s Day cake covered with combination of the strawberry puree, milk and dark chocolate to avoid the sweetness which he takes (overweight issue). The cake is “Strawberry Cake”.

I have assembled “Mr & Mrs Teddy Bears” and “Anemones” to symbolize my love to my dear hubby. He gave me an iPhone 4 for this Valentine. Thanks, love~

The more fantastic thing is that it also could be just a fantastic and very impressive heart shaped birthday cake for someone very close to your heart.

Happy decorating and of course “Happy Valentine’s Day”.

Beth xoxo

6" - $150.00 / 7" - $160.00 / 8" - $170.00 / 9" - $180.00 / 10" - $190.00

A customised 2D novelty cake for a 6" serving size is $160.00+

A customised 3D novelty cake for a 8” serving size is $350.00+

We are very conscious of what we provide to our beloved ones. We use Callebaut Belgium Chocolate, 100% Cocoa Powder (Callebaut, Hershey’s or Dutch Processed Cocoa), Free Range Eggs, Big Brand Flours (White Wings, Gluten Free if requested), Bakels fondant and the list goes on plus hours of baking and days and weeks of decorating times etc)

We provide you with free consultation and a few quotations to suit your budget but don’t compromise the deliciousness of our products. However, we are all faced with the rising costs day by day. Now we have to charge some miscellaneous costs for the order under $150 or products needed individual packaging. We thank you for your understanding and continuously support in the near future.

Terms and Conditions:

At bakingmummy, we pride ourselves on the QUALITY of our products and services. Our aim is to provide only the FRESHEST and HIGHEST quality cakes to our customers.

It is also important to remember that cakes are a perishable and delicate product. Unfortunately once we dispatch our cakes or our customers take possession of them, a number of factors relating to the care and transportation of the cakes may result in the quality being compromised or damage occurring to the cakes that are beyond our control or responsibility.

Care instructions must be followed thoroughly in order to avoid compromising the cakes quality, freshness and design. To assist in the care of your cake we will provide tips on transportation and storage. Unfortunately, with all the possible variables, it is difficult for bakingmummy to guarantee the cake quality in every case once it has left our premises.

All cakes delivered and or picked up are deemed accepted by the purchaser in all cases.

Order Information

You can contact me for a quote or ideas or to order the cupcakes or a cake by emailing me on baking-mama@hotmail.com

I try to get back to all enquires as soon as possible as I have other commitments! Each cake is priced individually as each one is unique in its own way.

With the custom made cakes, please place your order as early as you can to avoid disappointment. At least one month prior to your event would be wonderful. If you are having the matching dessert bar; then at least two months prior to the event will be great.

In regards to ordering and due to rising costs, I'm no longer able to carry the cost of ingredients until I source all ingredients before I can email you a quote. Those who have had one of my cakes know how much time and effort I put into each cakey piece of art just for you!

Please note from 2014, I now charge the delivery fee of $10-$50 plus the parking fee depending on the location.

To ensure a booking I now require a 50% deposit up front (non-refundable), before I even start the cake and to cover most ingredients especially those that will have to be ordered in. No deposit one month prior to the event means there is no secure booking. The balance needs to be paid preferably one week before the day of completion/delivery. I am quite happy to have this done by cash and PayPal. I am sorry that no more direct deposit due to the security reason.

I look forward to creating something special just for you :)
