Sunshine Coast Bridal Showcase

Today I am excited to be at the Sunshine Coast Bridal Showcase.

Now talking about wedding cakes... here are some delicious cakes that we have made recently.

I am more than happy to talk through any cake ideas for your wedding day. We would love to work with you to create not only a beautiful cake, but a delicious one too.

Chocolate

How have we managed for so long without a post about chocolate?


Like so many others, I love chocolate. Did you know I worked at the Lindt Chocolate Cafe in Sydney for many years before moving to Eumundi? It was a fantastic place to work and learn about the wonderful art of chocolate.

At Fiona's Fancies I love using Lindt chocolate, and we get to show it off in a huge number of delicious treats including...
 
 Lindt chocolate mud cakes,


a rich chocolate cheesecake,

 and a range of very special birthday cakes.

Introducing some of our suppliers

We have specifically chosen our suppliers to ensure the highest quality in our products. We would like to introduce you to some...

We use and sell Elephant Ridge Coffee in store. It is a farmer direct company that is Australian owned, plus we think the coffee tastes delicious.


Our milk and cream comes from the local Maleny Dairies. We love to use their products because they are wonderfully creamy and full flavoured, perfect to make our vanilla seed custard for the vanilla slices, shown above.


  
We love using Gympie Farm's fresh goats cheese in our quiches and spinach, pumpkin & goats cheese rolls. Camille's French style cheeses are sold just across the road at the Eumundi markets.

Just about all our products use eggs, we always use free range eggs supplied by Suncoast Wholesale Eggs.

A selection of seasonal tarts,

 chocolate brownies

or a friand with orange glaze.

Birthdays, birthdays, birthdays

2011 - what a busy year

2011 has been a fantastic year for us. We have been so busy creating cakes that we have managed to neglect our blog. Over the next couple of days I will get the chance to upload a number of the cakes and pastries we made this year.

Let's start with weddings... We love the chance to create a unique cake for your wedding day.
