Happy Birthday Mrs. Parker Adams

This little creation was made for a Wonderful Teacher, Mrs. Parker Adams. A Grade 2 educator at Islamia College.

The grade 2B learners planned to throw a birthday surprise for their teacher. the planners were all girls of course. Ameerah my 7yr old politely asked........'mommy can you make just one cupcake for my teacher. I know you busy, but just one cupcake for the candle mommy?'......while I was huffing and puffing away to complete yet another order.

12:15 pm and finally, the order was complete. Now to whip up the one cupcake. NO WAY!

It was 12:30 in the evening, I was tired, the kitchen looked like a ship wreck and I have to face my 8-5 day job in the morning.

There was just no way...................... that I could do just one cupcake for my daughters teacher, when I spend endless sleepless nights creating 4 layer, 3 tier cakes for others.

Not only was the request so sweet and the planning of these little ladies, was just too precious. I decided to create this cake, for an absolutely wonderful , sparkling person, who is loved by all the students in her class.

Under the Sea

FUN I tell You!

Good Golly Ms. Dolly

Ms. Molly made a dolly who looked oh so yummy,
And the kids were excited with a rumbling tummy

They took her off and stroked her head,
wishing she was a real little dolly instead.

The rascals took one bite and said 'for goodness sake'...
'give us a bit more than just one cupcake!'

I so enjoy this............:)

The Princess is here

....'She's here!...The cake is here!'....yelled little voices as I carried my creation to the party destination. It was as if she was a figure of high status, with all eyes on her from the parking lot, to the balcony.

Gosh, even I felt like royalty.

She might not have been the well-known Barbie doll,some of us had back in our youth, but she was just as petite and graceful.

Little Miss Perfect

I went through so many 'do it yourself' websites and video clips on how to create a sugarpast fairy but nothing caught my attention. So I decided to create one all on my own, without any examples or samples from the net.

After much rolling and shaping I finally managed to create a figurine that resembles a perfect, well-mannered fairy.

I am so proud of her.............in my eyes, she's PERFECT!!

Unfortunately I was not home when the client's driver came to collect the order (busy slaving away at my day job), but soon received a call and I could sense the delight in her voice..........she was making her way home,and had not seen the cupcakes yet.She received a call from her mom to confirm that the cakes have arrived and they look stunning!!

Obviously I couldn't stop smiling...............

My favourite part of it all................making my customers happy :)

King of my Castle

I have no idea who this little Ms. Minnie is, but she's holding one of my creations.

This was my first attempt at creating a castle...............not bad hey!!
Not too sure if that pretty smile is for the camera or the fact that she's holding 'Razmataz Original' in her hand..................it's probably for the camera................

A little castle for a pretty princess.

Star Light

Star Light, Star Bright
The first star I see tonight
I wish I may..........well actually I might,
eat these cupcakes all tonight
bite...after bite...after bite....

Clowning Around

Don't you just love clowns?

Bright, colourful and balls of fun, but I think I need to work on his lips though.

He looks like he's in need of a bit of lip balm.............lol..............but he's still precious.

With every creation, there is a lesson learnt..............

'Practise makes Perfect'...

Don't cut that Cake!!

Someone had a lot of faith in me and tasked me with creating a wedding cake.

But not just any wedding cake....................it had to be a show piece, that would be positioned in the cente of the reception venue.

Obviously my nerves were shot to the roof but remained calm and positive and reassured myself that I could do it.

After many e-mails, discussions and sketches, I came up with this. A 3 tier Chocolate mousse cake, covered with white sugarpaste, bordered with white satin ribbon, decorated with hand-made sugarpaste roses and circular diamante shapes and to top it all off an exquisite diamante broach in the centre of the satin bow.

The wedding was in Stellenbosch, it was hot, it's a mousse cake, it's white.................AAAAAHHHH!!!!!

But thank goodness we arrived in one piece, I had ample time to tier my cake and do last minute touch-ups.

And Vuala!!....................I was completely chuffed and for the client, well it was love at first sight.

But I cannot take all the credit. I could never have pulled this off without the love, support and assistance of my wonderful husband. He was right by my side, passing on the roses and making sure that the cake was positioned perfectly, before we made our way home................

One piece of advise though.............Chocolate mousse and white sugarpaste are not the best of frie

nds. I cried tears of irritation, as I tried my best to keep the mousse from smudging onto the sugarpaste.

Another lesson learnt :)

Back Again

Hi there!!

I've finally managed to set time aside to update my blog. It's been a wild ride but enjoyed every thrill.

Being a wife and mother to now 3 daughters......YES 3..........I had my third princess in April of 2009...not forgetting that I'm an Accounts Clerk during the day....it's not always easy to enjoy my hobby. Having to juggle all these balls and still try to keep one hand free.............It's hectic work, but I managed to practise my passion, with the limited time available in my day.

someone once asked me..........'WHERE DO I FIND THE TIME???.........well, that's easy, when homework is done, tummies are full, faces are cleaned, tucked in bed and Hubby's sipping his cup of coffee, I get to sit back and have some me time with a piece of dough and various colours to shade it with. My head would hit the pillow at.....mmmmmmmm....about 1:00am in the morning........

So where are the pics to prove it??........Well someone suggested that I utilize Facebook as an advertising tool. It's working, but all they do is comment. Comments are good but place some orders already!!
I've discovered that majority of my customers actually came to know about RazMaTaz, thru my BLOG!

So, when homework is done,
tummies are full,
faces are cleaned,
tucked in bed
Hubby's sipping his cup of coffee,
My sugarpaste is moulded
Order is complete......................EXHALE!!................I can update my blog...........

I hope you enjoy the rest of my creations......................

Ahoy Me Mate

I made these cupcakes (on the eve of the party...HECTIC!!) for a 9 year old. Though he's a huge Ben 10 fanatic, like all other kiddies his age, he certainly enjoyed his pirates, even the little ladies that was present.

The sad part though was watching the little munchkins bite away this creations in 30 seconds FLAT!!
