TV Australia have contacted us looking for couples who are holding
unique wedding/commitment events during July/August. I think that a
gay/lesbian commitment ceremony fits the bill on that front.

Looking for a bright birthday
cake ?
This one for an 18th birthday might be what you are after. Covered in stilettos, this cake reminded us of Sex and the City....lots of shoes on it. Great workout to get the icing that bright a colour too. Who said that cake decorating doesn't build up your muscles !!!!!

Unusual serving
suggestion ???
Well we got there....after quite a few moments of head scratching - the cake is in the birdcage. This one isn't going to be served so we kept the cage fully intact. A real cake in this situation would have meant us taking the bottom off the cage.
Can you work out how we did it ?

Gaycakes latest creation was for
two lovely girls in love who had their commitment ceremony
yesterday. I think that it was one of Sydney wettest days on
record. Surely the dams are full by now ??? I got absolutely soaked
delivering their cake but after lots of prep....the cake made it to
their boat in perfect condition (phew). I am sure that the rain
didn't dampen the love that they both share ; )
Black & White still a popular cake trend for 2010 here in Sydney
24/01/10 10:34 Categories:
Cakes
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 !

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 !

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 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.

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 !

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 !

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 !

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 !

What do you call a Gay Wedding ?

Gay Wedding, Commitment
Ceremony, Civil Union...what do you call it ?
I guess until they formalise the whole situation around gay unions all of the above will apply. The great thing is that when two people decide to commit to each other all that is forgotten and a lovely day is usually had by all. Creating a cake that often becomes the focal point at such an occasion is such a great thing to do and the reaction you get gives you such job satisfaction.
This cake was created to symbolise the gentleness between a couple when they are in love. I love the holding hands !

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 !

Popular wedding cake design and a very

with the overall colour scheme of the day.
