Unusual and amazing Cakes 2.76

I have been making unusual cakes in access of 25. Coming from a german heritage, baking copious amounts of sweets is simply in my blood.

We understand how some prefer to SMS us or speak over the phone. Email is our preferred medium for the following reasons:
1) Our hands are usually sticky, sculpting cakes or shaping fondant.
2) Instructions and details can be missed, forgotten or misunderstood especially over a phone call.
3) Email allows us time to research and think over your request so that we can give you a thought-out and reliable response
4) We ALWAYS answer our emails, even if it is to say that we cannot take on your order, but we may miss your call (too long to wash our hands and then dry them and then find the phone)

Edible decorations are made by Omis' Customised Toppers a subsidury of Unusual and amazing cakes whereever possible and are made with quality edible Sugarpaste or Modelling Chocolate embelished & enhanced with food safe non toxic food colours and glitters. Some larger flowers eg Magnolia may contain wire or Toothpicks to provide additional hold. But as of 1st November all our Childrens cake toppers will be 100% edible and do not contain props such as wire, toothpicks or styrofoam. This is limited to pickup cake toppers, and cake toppers up to 12 cm in height only.


The cakes I use are Butter cakes as opposed to sponge cakes , which are normally used for cream cakes. Butter cakes are a little sweeter, richer and heavier on the tongue and stomach. The reason I use butter cakes in my 3D, Novelty and sculpture cakes is because they are denser and more tightly crumbed which makes them easier to sculpt and it holds the weight of fondant much better.

Triple Chocolate Cake< dense, dark and Moist Chocolate Cake
Buttercake
White Mudcake
Chocolate Mudcake
Caramel Mudcake
Red Velvet

Keep in mind that varieties and flavours of fillings and icings will alter and enhance the flavours and textures of cakes chosen.

Alternative Cake choices include
Carrot Cake with wallnuts and cinnamon
Fruit Cake - notice prefered - cake needs maturing for full flavour.
Gluten Free Range includes
Chocolate Mud, White Mud, Vanilla Sponge or Buttercake


Frosting (the stuff between the fondant and cake):
I use dark chocolate ganache (55% to 70% cocoa)*** for frosting as opposed to butter cream. Dark chocolate works better for our humidity, as it doesn’t cause the fondant to “sweat”.

** What is Buttercream?
Buttercream (choose from Italian Meringue Butter Cream or Traditional) is a mixture of Vegetable shortening, butter and sugar and the Meringue Buttercream it also includes eggwhites. I make my buttercream Traditional (mock cream style) or "Italian meringue" style, which is light and fluffy in texture. It is different from freshly whipped cream, which cannot hold up once taken out from the fridge.
Buttercream Flavors available are endless and include our most popular choices listed below
All fruity eg Lemon Orange Strawberry Lime Raspberry Blueberry
Traditional eg chocolate, Vanilla, Butterscotch, Almond, coconut and peppermint
Unusual flavours such as Fairy Floss , Musk Bubblegum
To exotic Malibu, Tia Maria, Creme de monthe or Rum or Butterscotch Liquer (all alcohol free on request) to almost any flavour you desire. Ask and we will do our best to oblige.
Cream Cheese (Only Kraft Philadelphia Cream Cheese used - requires addition 10% extra over the price quoted)

*** What is Ganache?
Ganache is a rich, thick chocolate filling made from melted dark chocolate and cream. I prefer to use ganache as a frosting instead of buttercream because the former holds up better in our type of humidity and weather, and it gives a cleaner and smoother finishing.

Current three most popular pairings (not in order of popularity)
1. Rainbow layers with vanilla or chocolate chip cream (there is additional 10% charge for colored cakes)
2. Triple Chocolate cake with Chocolate Chip buttercream
3. Chocolate Mudcake with white Ganache, chocolate Fondant and Marzipan
