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:

Mardi Gras Dinner at the Zoo...more

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.

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 ?

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

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.

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 ?
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 !

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 !
