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:

2) SX issue 478 - news section
3) SX issue 478 Scene pictures
4) SSO issue 1012

Kerryn Phelps and her wife Jackie
cut our cake on the night and there were some great press pics
taken. Click link below.
Kerryn and Jackie are real advocates for Same-Sex marriage and so this was a real honour.

With its Gay Wedding theme the
Mardi Gras Dinner at the Zoo fundraising event for marriage
equality was great fun last night. Gaycakes was the proud sponsor
of the cake and we had a lot of fun (and sweat) making it and it
certainly seemed to please everyone who attended. Set around the
same-sex wedding of two Rhinos everyone seemed to have a different
favourite animal on the cake. Mine was the Lion !!!
Taronga Zoo with its city views of Sydney was such a fantastic venue. I certainly envy anyone who has an event at such a beautiful spot.
Here are a few snaps that I took...professional shots should follow shortly.

Fair Day 2010 Report

Who was that Gay Cake company at
Fair Day ???
We'll after what felt like months of preparation, Fair Day 2010 is over ! We had a very long and tiring day but it was so much fun and it was great to get some real face to face interaction with people on what we do. People wondered what made a gay cake, and then realised when they came into the stall. One little girl asked "why are they so good" to be told by her Mum "it's because they are gay darling". We had people taking pictures, bloggers preparing their entries, but most of all people just enjoying the fun of the cake designs. Lady Gaga was a big hit, as was the Pink Australia Flag. The Angel cake managed to survive the heat and her wings didn't melt in the sun. The 'Birds in Love' cakes drew people in as they loved seeing a cake in a cage.
Special thanks to Sue, Nora, Anthony and Trevor for coming along and helping both physically and mentally and for "salesman of the day' Andrew who I couldn't have done all this without his support.
See you in 2011. Competition winner to be announced on 31st March 2010.
