Unusual Ceremony - Granada TV show

Granada
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.
If you are interested in getting involved then check out http://granadamedia.com.au/casting
You never know, if you get Gaycakes featured on the programme then we might even be able to do you a good deal on the cake ! Drop us a line.

Bobby Goldsmith Bake-off

Media/Events
Gaycakes went along to one of the
big events of the Sydney Gay scene yesterday - the BGF Bake-off.
Based very much on a traditional fete baking competition but with
some added glamour, the event is a light hearted way of raising
funds for the Bobby Goldsmith Foundation. There is a huge range of
entries - some are joke entries and some are taken very seriously
but overall it is a very fun event.
The Bake Off judging panel, which comprised of executive chef of Longrain restaurants in Sydney and Melbourne Martin Boetz, Channel Ten’s Ready, Steady Cook presenter Peter Everett and iconic Sydney drag queen Claire de Lune, took each entry through a gruelling testing process based on taste, presentation and degree of difficulty.
After the prizes are awarded the cakes are auctioned off to raise funds. Our entry raised $1200. As our cake was a faux cake we included a $300 voucher for a real cake within the auction package presented together with a champagne package. We left before all the cakes were auctioned but they seemed to be well on their way to reaching their $45,000 target.

40th Birthday Cake - Music Fan

We created this cake for a big music
fan based on a variation on our shooting stars theme. Piano keys
surrounded the cake on 3 sides with the birthday message to the
front. This was quite a striking cake as it was large (75 dessert
portions) and as you can see all in black & white. Happy 40th
Sarah !

Gaga comes back to Gaycakes with
this cake inspired by the opening scene of the Telephone Video.
Check out the video, it's great....and you can also see where the

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 !!!!!

Mardi Gras Dinner at the Zoo - March 2010....more press

Gaycakes has featured in a number
of places this week as the pictures from the Mardi Gras Dinner at
the Zoo event hits the press. It is very exciting to see one of
your creations appear in the papers that you read every week.
I spent the evening with the lovely Pam from ZenDiva Natural Soy & Palm Wax Candles. She made the most amazing themed candles as Bombonniere for the event. A beautiful black & white theme with kissing zebras. Whilst our cake "grabs the headlines" it is little touches like Pam's candles that added some real glamour to the tables...and unlike the cake which is long gone....I am still burning my candle and remembering the night each time I light it !
I am mentioning Pam as she put a great deal of effort into the event and showed herself to be a real supporter of the marriage equality cause (and pics of candles find it hard to compete with pictures of half naked bods at the Mardi Gras Party ; )
Here are some press snippets:

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 ?

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 ; )

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.

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.

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 !

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.

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 !

Popular wedding cake design and a very

with the overall colour scheme of the day.

Well before I get stuck in to the
regular updates I thought that I would give a quick catch-up on the
last cake I created before I started this blog as it has turned out
to be a popular design.
A delicate looking commitment cake was the aim here and I am pleased that we achieved this with a feeling of a cascading flowers with butterflies and dragonflies. The metal weaved ball on the top add a contemporary feel to the cake.
