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
