Crumbs Cake Art is well known for a wide variety of great tasting cakes, amazing cake designs and unique customer service. We take pride in our quality cakes and enjoy expressing our clients desires in the form of Cake Art.

Crumbs Cake Art joined the rest of the bridal exhibitors for the ABS Ultimate Bridal Event at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on Sat, 4th and Sun, February 2012.

It was a big 2 days meeting some really lovely people and talking about cake.

We had just a few of our Amazing Wedding Cakes on display for future Brides & Grooms to enjoy and get inspired about their Wedding Cake design for their special day.

Loads of our delicious cake samples disappeared as soon as the plate of cake hit the table, we couldn't keep up with demand. From our most favourite Kaluha Chocolate Mud Cake and our Baileys White Mud Cake which always gets the raves, we managed to pull out some of our other amazing flavours like our original Cherry Ripe Mud Cake and our NEW, exciting cake sensation, Crumbs Red Velvet Cake with lemon cream cheese frosting. With over 24 mud cakes to choose from plus special Dietry Cakes, Croquembouche, Desserts & Truffles, delightful Fruit Cakes & loads more visit our Cake Flavours to experience the true flavour of great tasting cakes with fine quality ingrediants.

When is the best time to order your Wedding Cake?

A good professional cake artist would need at least 2 to 3 months notice prior to your Wedding date.

The early the better, I say. Then you don't miss out.

To many times we have heard horror cake stories that

Brides & Grooms have experienced on their Wedding Day.

Not getting what they asked for, cake couldn't be eaten,

cake was too small not enough for all the guest, inexperience

cake decorators, quality not what they expected & so much more.

Wedding Cakes are not cheap & can lead into 1000s of dollars.

To avoid any disappointment with your cake on the most

remembered day of your life, it is best to get in touch

with an experienced cake decorator you can trust.

Feel comfortable with your cake decorator

& to limit confusion it is always best to talk directly to the

cake artist constructing your cake design.

Always taste test the cakes for quality, even if you do not like cake,

get someone to do it for you. The last thing you want is to waste

money & have your guests remembering the terrible tasting cake.

At Crumbs we provide a unique service to you. Our studio is set on

a beautiful rural property in the heart of the

Hills District in Annangrove.

Jon, owner/decorator, will discuss cake ideas & designs with you.

She will show you some amazing cake creations and you will get to

view some beautifully hand crafted cakes on display in our Studio.

Her talents will construct a sketch of your desired cake for your

Special Day plus provide you with a quote.

A variety of cake samples will be available for you to

indulge your taste buds.

 

Be sure to make an appointment with Jon to get an exclusive visit

to her Studio and discuss some totally wicked cake ideas.

Happy Wedding Cake Hunting

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.

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.
