A little more wedding

2012-02-08T01:17:00.000-08:00

We had a great day at the Sunshine Coast Wedding Expo. It was lovely to meet so many people, we hope they enjoyed their sample box.

Just a few more recent wedding cakes, while we are on the topic...

A lovely tall rich fruit cake soaked in plenty of French brandy, decorated with white fondant icing and a fresh flower arrangement.

A three tiered wedding cake with layers of moist carrot cake and delicious lemon tea cake, all iced in a fresh citrus cream cheese icing.

A three tiered Lindt chocolate mud cake with white smooth icing decorated with an abundance of sugar butterflies, matching the wedding's theme.

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

2012-01-07T17:28:00.000-08:00

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.

Have you been in for a cup of coffee and a treat lately?

2012-01-04T00:09:00.000-08:00

If you haven't found us yet, we are located at the Eumundi Shoping Village, just under the stairs.

We have been serving some delicious things to have with a coffee.

A selection of seasonal tarts,

chocolate brownies

or a friand with orange glaze.

Birthdays, birthdays, birthdays

2012-01-03T21:11:00.000-08:00

We have had a lot of fun making customised birthday cakes this year, in lots of different flavours and styles. We hope they have helped celebrate a fun birthday.

2011 - what a busy year

2012-01-03T14:38:00.000-08:00

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.

A tiered, Lindt white chocolate mud cake surrounded by white chocolate shards and fresh flowers.

An elegant tower of individual square mud cakes with a white chocolate ganache and white chocolate surround, with a themed ribbon detail.
