Wagga's Demonstration day on the 6th of August 2011 went really well, I did my little Gumnut Blossom Babies. This time I made the little yellow one chocolate as my hubby thought my last one looked deathly pale!!! (Original can be seen here http://inspiredbycake.blogspot.com/2011/04/australian-natives-and-gumnut-blossom.html ) I think this version actually turned out really cute.
There were four other demonstrators on the day from Parkes, Forbes, Wagga and Orange. The Photos below are the demonstrations from these cake artists.
Jeanette MacGregor created an Australia wild flower, the Banksia (for many Australian children, Banksias are famous as the Big Bad Banksia Men in May Gibbs' Snugglepot and Cuddlepie stories. This is the same author that created the Gumnut Blossom Babies.)
Estelle Patrikios showed everyone how to make sticks, stones, driftwood, moss and fungi. All things that would come in great for fishing or garden theme cakes, plus much more if you put your imagination to work.
Sandra Davies showed how to create beautiful bejewelled cakes with bows encrusted with jewels. Many cakes over the last few years have been stripped back using less sugar flowers and overall patterns on the cakes surface giving a very simple design with a stylish classical effect.
Lastly one of the new Members of the Wagga Branch Jay Rivett showed how to create a Rose Cake inspired by the Debbie Brown version.
As always such a great day with so much information to walk away with. No matter how many of these days I have been to I always learn something really valuable.
