Black & White still a popular cake trend for 2010 here in Sydney

black-white-engagement-cake

black-white-wedding-cakebinoculars

Black and White cakes have remained popular if the start to 2010 is anything to go by. Any why not, they are classic in looks. This is an engagement cake but it could just as easily suit a wedding cake or tie in with a minimalist wedding theme. Just think back to all those fantastic Art Deco images and that scene in My Fair Lady where they are all dressed in black & white. Just beautiful design classics !

Bun-in-the-oven-cupcakes

Unusually themed cupcakes aren't seen a great deal on our travels but every now and then someone brings you an idea that is so much fun that you can't wait to make it.

These cupcakes were for three friends who have "nickname" roles for each other. One is the sperm, one is the egg and one is the oven. We loved making these and from the pics and email that we received after the event, the recipients had a great deal of fun too.

Just discovered free event invites online....

Not all events are big affairs. Sometimes you just want a small celebration, without too much fuss, but none the less a classy affair. We have recently discovered the joy of www.pingg.com here at Gaycakes and it is a great way to add a bit of glamour to you event invites....rather than those boring old texts or emails. High quality invitation templates for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, christenings, valentines day etc. etc.

It is free, Facebook, Twitter, email and SMS friendly too. You can add pictures, website links, gift registries.....the list continues.

It will even chase up those people who don't RSVP automatically. What more could you want !

One downside, you need to pay US$5 to keep the invite ad free, but I guess if it does all of the above then that isn't bad.

Gaycakes is in no way affiliated to Pingg and receives no payment for having a link on this website. We just thought you might like it, as we do !

Cupcakes have arrived !

The growing trend of Cupcakes has arrived at Gaycakes at last. After developing our range of delicious flavours we are now ready to unleash them on the world. At the moment our orders have a minimum of 36, they are aimed at the alternative to a large cake rather than as a little snack, but as demand grows we hope to review this.

Do you need to be gay to buy a cake from GayCakes ?

Do you need to be Gay to buy a cake from Gaycakes ?

This is one of the latest discussions on twitter about us. Very tongue in cheek posting but for the avoidance of doubt the answer is NO NO NO !!!!

We love being part of the gay community here in Sydney but we are not here to exclude anyone. We hope that we bring something very different to the cake making community and we try for ideas that are a bit removed from the conventional. Having said that we just love some of the beautiful traditional cakes out there.

So guys...if you like what you see drop us a line. We love everyone !


Summer has arrived at last in Sydney

Summer in Sydney and a birthday cake to help a beach fan to celebrate his birthday. Lots of fun this one and little touches making it personal to the person whose birthday it was (like their favourite towel). Taking the time to get the detail right always makes a real difference.

Patriot

An Irish themed cake for a couple, both 28 although one into fashion and the other into sport was today's order. I loved the cake just as an Irish flag...looked really realistic. It went down really well and their friend who put on their do said that it was the highlight of the BBQ. It's great when people get the credit for doing something nice for their friends but it is also great when they pass the comments back to us. Thanks Ed !

Can I have super powers please ?

Gay cakes sponsored the best dressed couple prize at the 2009 Dykes on Bikes Black & White Ball

The winner decided to buy her Grandson his 4th Birthday cake...with a Batman theme.

Dad picked up the cake saying "I am not sure what I am going to give him for his birthday, he has asked for Super Powers ! ".

Somehow I am not sure that the cake, as nice as it is, will be a great substitute for the ability to fly !

Do you get a prize for 10 years ?

Who say's gay relationships don't last very long ?

A simple cake design was needed here to capture the "seriousness" of the event but also make it fun. A glitter ball was chosen as the theme to represent the fact that the couple had met in a gay club. They wanted a square looking cake but the design could easily be adapted to a round cake.

Big debate was had on whether the cake should have the red hearts left on top...so they weren't stuck on the end. In the end they were left on : )

Twins 40th

Inspiration for a cake design can come from anywhere.

This cake, to celebrate the 40th Birthday of twins, was based on a card that was sent by one to the other. The card just had a yellow monkey staring out at you and for some reason made them both laugh ! Having a pair of little monkeys on the card certainly took them back to when they were little tear-aways ! Putting their arms around each other was done to symbolise how close they still are.

The cake was cut at Uluru at dawn on their birthday with a glass of champagne.

Paper anniversary

Celebrating a first year anniversary for a gay couple was the brief on this cake. It was bought by the friend of a couple who had got married in France last year and were unable to include most of their friends in the celebration, so decided to hold an event to mark their first anniversary. Year one is a paper anniversary and so we were asked if we could have the couple standing up in the middle of a piece of paper....which in the end was pretty hard to convey. it looked like material !

So we came up with the idea of having them ride an origami swan. Origami swans are pretty recognisable as being made of paper and making the icing look like paper was a bit of a challenge (all that you can see is made of sugar) but the hardest thing about making the cake was not seeing the reaction of the people the cake was for.

A Puppy celebration

Our dog is our family

Dogs are family for many many people ! And a new puppy is very hard to resist. This cake I think successfully captures the cheekiness of a little puppy and was an instant hit with my niece and nephew in the UK who wanted one posted to them. I am not sure he would look quite so content after 24 hours on a plane though !

Two mummies !

Some children are lucky enough to have two mums or two dads and with any family there is great excitement around the new arrival. Not everyone wants to hold a christening but some sort of celebration is usually held to welcome the new baby into the family.

What more could you want, a new baby, a welcoming family, and a great piece of chocolate cake to make the day complete !

Dragging up

Sydney Drag Queens are an institution and famous the world over. I have travelled quite a bit and I have never come across such a strong drag culture. It certainly adds some colour to the scene. This cake was designed to capture some of the fun and over the top-ness of drag. It is modelled on a US drag star...but I am more than happy to create one based on a home grown star. Ladies ????

This cake is great in that it can be adapted to suit the inner performer in anyone !

Strange request ?

Gay cakes prides itself on being happy to illustrate the colourful ways in which the gay community celebrates life.

One of the more colourful sights that you can see at the Sydney Mardi Gras parade are the guys dressed in leather. Bit of an acquired taste for some, but for others very very sexy ! This cake was designed to try and capture that. Great fun to make and always gets a reaction when people see the picture. Most have a little smile !
