More BGF Bake-off coverage


Bake-Off goodies raised over $30k
Local News, By Matt Akersten, 8th June, 2010
The Bobby Goldsmith Foundation says it looks to have raised between $30,000-$35,000 at Sunday’s annual Bake-Off auction.
There were fewer cakes on show than last year, but the turnout for the auction day and quality of the baking and icing was as outstanding as ever, many of the day’s attendees agreed.
Carlos Heng’s picnic-basket laden with a colourful collection of melting moments took out the coveted ‘Best in Show’ award along with the Best Fete Baking prize, while an extravagant Lady-Gaga inspired entry by Glen Lewis (Miss 3D) won Best Cake in the Professional category.
Drag diva Joyce Maynge’s sweet Carrot, Pecan and Thong Delight won Best Tasting Cake, while a ‘Sex in the City’-themed entry by Stefan Bear won Best Decorated Cake. A stunning Goodbye Mitzi Macintosh cake also impressed the judges and later sold for $1,500.
Evelyn Perusco’s Good Old-Fashioned Nutter won Best Tart, Susan Ougham’s Scotch Marmalade was judged the Best Preserve, and the Best Non-Edible Cake featured a winged and black bikini’ed icing Fallen Angel by Dean Morrison.

Cake in a birdcage

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 ?

Rain rain go away !!!

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

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 !

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.

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 !

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 !

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 !

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 !
