Making Cake Decorating Easy

Crumbs Cake Art have Custom Made Cake Cutting Angles to make

it easier for cake decorators to measure and level their cakes

every single time.

These angles set a standard level/height for your cakes.
Jon Perkins, owner of Crumbs Cake Art, demonstrates how easy

it is to use these cutting angles.

Funky Bridal Cottage Wedding Cake

We had a bit of fun with this wedding cake,
as we do with all our cake creations.

Jon's attention to detail is truelly awesome.The pebble footpath leading up to the funky little Cottage, which was made to be kept, just makes the cake that bit more amazing.

The 3 tiered wedding cake was filled with a variety of Crumbs! delicious mud cakes, then covered & decorated using sugar fondant.

Now with our NEW sensational tasting coloured cakes, this cake would look great with a purple coloured mud cake inside. Just imagine cutting thru your wedding cake to reveal something truely amazing, which smells and tastes great too.

Crumbs! will not let you down when it comes to your cake. Special events are 'special'. They should be celebrated and enjoyed. It takes a lot of time and effort plus money to make a special event awesome. Let Crumbs! Cake Art help you create something truely amazing for your guests to talk about for years to come.

Hen's Cake Decorating Party - Having Fun with Fondant

Our Cake Decorating Workshops cater

for special event Parties, Bridal Showers,

Team Building or just having fun with friends.

12th November 2011 -

Melanie is getting married.

She wanted to do something different

with her girlfriends for her Bridal Shower (Hen's Party).

After searching the Internet & enquiring to a few cake decorators,

Crumbs! offered her an affordable afternoon of fun.

The group of 11 girls enjoyed creating edible flowerpots,

made with sugar icing, filled with cake,

topped with ganache and beautifully decorated with flowers.

They learnt to create edible sugar flowers (African Violets) & leaves 

from one of the best cake decorators in Sydney, Jon Perkins.

The girls arrived at our peaceful & tranquil studio set

on 5 acres in the Hills District, Sydney.

A delightful afternoon tea was provided

plus all materials & equipment.
(more photos available on facebook)

 

Big Thank you to Elle for organising this funtastic

event for your special friend, Melanie.

Wishing Melanie the best of luck for the future.

Hope you had a great Wedding Day.

Look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Cheers the Crumbs! Cake Art team

Sculpt, Create & inspire your imagination ;o)

This cake is simply to DIVE for!

Big Congratulations to the beautiful couple,

Kylie & Abe.

Jon can't help herself when it comes to creating a cake with that

WOW effect.

This amazing cake creation was sculpted from our

Crumbsdelicious mud cake and sugar icing.

It was crafted on a board measuring a massive size of 30in x 21in.

Jon's attention to details is absolutely amazing.

The Scuba Diver Groom is made from cake and the Mermaid Bride is

made out of sugar fondant. The faces have been moulded and hand

crafted using sugar icing. They are sitting on a treasure chest crafted

from a styro block covered with coloured sugar fondant.

The treasure chest is sitting on some rocks in the ocean.

It was touch & go there for a bit on Saturday 8th October with the weather being very wet & humid. All fingers were crossed for the cake to make it to Sydney Harbour Wharf.

The wedding reception was held on the Majestic 2.

The Bride travelled in a closed horse drawn cartridge to St Marys Cathedral. After the formalities the Bride & Groom left the Church in an open horse drawn cartridge to ride the streets of Sydney & head to the Wharf where they boarded the Majestic 2.

Reports concluded that the cake was Awesome and stayed in tacked until the cake cutting, where the Bride & Groom plus all their guests were amazed by the work of art & enjoyed the delicious cake inside.

Interesting - The Groom decided before the big day that he did not want to keep the sculptured scuba diver, resembling him, & wanted it made out of cake. When he saw the amazing creation he decided he wanted to keep it. Unfortunately, 'cause it was made from cake it was unable to be kept.

Simply one of the best cakes eva!!!

You can always rely on Crumbs!
for the best cake creation for your
special occasion.
