A F1 Renault Team car, entirely made of fondant, on a fondant track. The cake is a chocolate fudge cake and everything is edible. I was incredibly lucky to be able to give the cake to Fernando Alonso, the winner of Singapore's first F1 race. The cake was made for Renault, to wish the team luck in the races. This particular cake is not for sale. Please contact us for similar themed enquiries.

This cake had a positively electrifying reception - the car was recognised, snatched up and eaten with great relish! A fondant car....on a fondant covered cake, makes a great gift for a car collector/enthusiast. For more → click here.

| Once again, an all edible cake - I keep emphasizing that point as I'm afraid of putting actual toys on my cakes, in case they get accidentally eaten! -with two aeroplanes "flying" through the clouds with a rainbow on one side and a smiley sun on the other with a kite "flying" in between. Lots of clouds on blue skies and a few silhouettes of birds flying make up the background of this cake. For more → click here. |

Note the monkey holding the bananas! This was done on a regular cake, not an eggfree one. The cake was a deliciously moist chocolate fudge with fudge frosting and weighed in at around 2 kgs.

| The much awaited addition to the Candybox Cake family - the Minis!! I have had frequent requests for these small fondant covered versions of the regular Candy box Cakes. Finally, I put these together for the "Food & Fashion" Fair held at Nanyang Polytechnic, Singapore, 5th-6th June. We had 10 unusual flavours of cupcakes as well, like Ebony & Ivory (the great event fave!), Strawberry & Cream (another fave) and others. Heartfelt thanks to all at the NYP event. It was a fulfilling 2 days for FoodinFinity.com. For more → click here. |

This is the "jewelled" Mothers' Day cake I made for my own mother. It was a tiny palm-sized chocolate fudge cake with fudge frosting and red fondant covering. The sides and top are covered with red-gold and silver fondant hearts and edged with gold and silver dragees. Not typical of my usual candybox cakes, but special nonetheless for my very special mother. Happy Mothers' Day! For more → click here.

A heart shaped fondant covered vanilla cake, covered in red, white, gold and silver hearts. It is embellished with gold and silver dragees. This cake was specially created with Mothers' Day in mind. The center is filled with vanilla cupcakes. This Candybox Cake is smaller than the rest in the series. This weighs in at around 1.2 kgs and would serve about 10 generous slices. A heartfelt tribute to all Mothers. For more → click here.

| I recently bought some edible lustre powder for use on cakes and bakes. By looking at the pictures of my latest cake (above) and the one before (below) it can safely be said, that I went quite wild using the gold, silver and copper colours. These shades allow for imagination to run wild in creating and decorating cakes. This golden Candybox Cake has a dried blueberry-almond base covered with buttercream and fondant. The main cake emulates a jewelled casket, filled with fondant covered cupcakes. For more → click here. |

|
| This cake started out as a Candybox Cake and evolved into a Treasure Box. The main cake was a candied orange and almond cake which was deliciously moist and orangey. The flowers are fondant cut outs which I painted with edible lustre powder.The design idea was based on the elegant formal outfits worn by Asian ladies. For more → click here. |

|
| This orange and white basket weave cake is slightly different from my usual ones. The main cake is flavoured with homemade candied orange peels and covered with a thin layer of vanilla buttercream. The truffles were replaced with little candied-orange cupcakes, decorated with fondant(sugarpaste) flowers. The orange and white weave was dusted over with orange and pearl lustre powder to give the cake a slightly pearlised sheen. Altogether, it was an easier cake to work on as the marzipan layer has been done away with. Makes for a lighter cake too! For more → click here. |

|
| Decided to do something different with the Candybox Cakes. So I painted the sides of the main cake with Koi and filled the center with rum truffles. The top edge is decorated with Chinese coins made out of sugar paste. The Koi and coins are symbols of prosperity and luck for the Chinese. The painting on the sides took a bit of time to do, but then, it was a first attempt. Gong Xi Fa Cai! For more → click here. |

These are my Candy Box Cakes! Each one lovingly created for the people in my life. This red-fondant one, my first, filled with hand-made brandy truffles, was made for a friend's wedding night! The cake itself was chocolate peanut-butter fudge flavoured. I tried to pipe rosettes with royal icing around the edges but it came out as little blobs which looked alright, so I finished it with silver dragees to complete the look. For more → click here.

| This next one was an experimental cake. It was a chocolate fudge cake, with chocolate fudge filling. I covered the sides with dark chocolate fondant (first attempt; invoked all known and unknown divinities!). The top, is covered in white-chocolate fondant and filled with Chivas Regal-flavoured truffles. The edges were lined with gold and silver dragees. Opulent? Well, I made it for my brother's birthday, so I wanted something special and masculine. For more → click here. |

| This one had my hands looking bruised for a week! Kneading the the colours into the fondant, to get the exact shade of blue, took ages! Real muscle work. Really got those triceps and biceps going. Made this chocolate (again!) fudge cake for my uncle's birthday, hence the more masculine colour scheme. The fillers this time were my first attempt at making liqueur chocolates. They were ok but tasted best when eaten soon after making. Great excuse to polish them off ASAP! For more → click here. |

| This is an orange marmalade flavoured cake. The colours were chosen as a complement to the flavour! I covered it in butter-yellow fondant and this time, my royal icing came out right! I managed to pipe rosettes around the edges which I then decorated with the dragees. The fillers were citrus-flavoured, white chocolate truffles to complement the flavour of the cake. Do note the beautiful yellow roses I have used to decorate this cake. They were made by my 11 year old daughter, using yellow fondant. For more → click here. |

|
| I tried something different with this cake. Taking fondant in two contrasting colours, I cut it into strips which I wove to resemble a basket weave pattern. This time I played around with coloured dragees. The fillers were hand-made rum truffles, standard issue! The base was an almond-flavoured cake this time, a bit of a departure from the routine chocolate fudge cake. For more → click here. |

|
| Another basket-weave patterned cake. Made it for a friend who used it for her son's birthday, which was on the next day. Again an almond-flavoured cake. I made chocolate-covered marzipan sweets for the fillers. But found it a little too sweet. This is a picture of the cake without fillers as it gives some idea of what the cake itself looks like. I guess lettering can be iced in the center instead of filling it up with truffles or chocolates. For more → click here. |

| I had such fun decorating this castle cake! Made it for my daughter's 11th birthday. I found this castle cake in Carol Deacon's "Party Cakes", a wonderful and 'friendly', cake-decorating book and changed the design alittle, to what my daughter would like. Following the clear and easy instructions in this book, I first covered the main cake in fondant. For the towers, I used gum paste which I rolled out, molded around cardboard tubes and then left them to dry overnight. Stuck all the towers to and on top of the cake using royal icing. |
|
|
I piped the trellis using green royal icing and stuck on sugar flowers and dragees of different colours. The grass is green coloured dessicated coconut and the path is coloured sugar. The towers were topped with wafer cones and edged with white chocolate buttons and coloured sugar dragees.
