Cakes I Love!!!

This is my new Wednesday feature.

As a lot of people know, I love cakes and baking. I think I could quite happily have nothing but wedding cakes and cupcakes at my wedding!

Now I’m going to pick a company that does wedding cakes, minicakes and cupcakes and link them here with some pictures.

Enjoy. Try not to drool on your keyboard too much.

This week is Planet Cake!  Their galleries are a feast for the eyes, and they have a blog you can follow too!

Not A Cupcake!?!??!

There seems to be a little confusion out there- never mind stunned indignation when quoted a price for these divine little cakes!

These are not cupcakes as such, and whilst they do look exquisitely divine in a tower for a wedding, they will cost you easily TWICE the price of a cupcake because they’re quite literally mini cakes! They are soooo much more work than a cupcake, so don’t be surprised when you are given an estimate of R40 to R50 per mini cake.

Janine’s Cake Creations

In November, Chanty approached me with a request to bake the two hundred cupcakes she wanted for her picnic themed wedding… The following picture was what she wanted!

I was DYING to do it for her, but I just couldn’t take the time off my “normal” job to do them properly- and I was terrified I’d screw them up for her if I tried to handle such a big order for such an important day!
So I phoned a couple of my contacts and one of them referred me to Janine’s Cake Creations.

Here’s Janine’s feedback:

I baked the cake and 200 cuppies on friday evening, iced and decorated them, then delivered them on saturday morning around 10am, I have attached a picture of the finished cake for you to see, unfortunately I didnt take pictures of during the decorating process as I simply didnt have the time.

I met Chanty’s mom on Saturday and she was very happy with the cake and cup cakes etc..
She said it was beautiful.

So I am happy if they are happy!



I do hope Chanty was happy! I won’t hear from her till she gets back from her honeymoon- but I think it looks fabulous!
