Here’s hoping this young Sharks fan will have a great birthday.

I have never felt the need to try and see my future in cards, palm reading or alike, but I do like the colours and textures they use in their clothes and fabrics.
This is my September McGooU homework.

Fight Like A Girl - When I saw the title of this sugar collaboration, it transported me back 20 years to when I used to be an amateur boxer, and I knew who I wanted to represent in sugar form - the fabulous Laila Ali. Back in the day I was the only girl in a club in a very male dominated sport. I even competed at the Irish Nationals, and was the runner-up. At that time, Laila was pushing boundaries in women's boxing and she was the best in the sport. What she was doing was inspiring and had a profound impact on me. These days I live back in Australia, and no longer spend 17 hours a week training, instead cookie decorating is my passion.
This is a sugar cookie that has been hand painted using Vivid gel colours.

Toadstool cookie sticks.

Just because I wanted to make a toadstool.

Are either of these teams going to be in the grand finals? Cookies hand painted with gel colours on royal icing. Cookie cutter from .

Father’s Day is next weekend (in Australia and New Zealand), is everyone ready? I have made some shoes to represent a father and his daughter, and another set to represent a father and his son. Hope you like them.

My sunflower cookie was made with dimensional Royal Icing then hand painted. There is just something about sunflowers that makes me smile.

I just want to let people know that I am very happy to be one of the NSW Ambassadors for ACADA.
ACADA runs the International Cake Show Australia, but there is more to being a member than just taking part in a cake show.
Please feel free to get in touch with me if you have any questions or comments regarding ACADA membership.

Cookies decorated with dimensional royal icing and hand painting (just because I didn’t want to run my airbrush). I love learning new ways to play with royal. This was made with a tutorial.

Hand painted Bacardi Gold and Rum Sour cookies. Just in time for Father’s Day (in Australia and New Zealand). Really had to trust the process in painting these cookies with the fantastic .bakes tutorial. I am fascinated by how much the use of light and shadow changes the perspective.

These bright cartoon designs are my August homework for McGooU.

02/08/2024

Looking forward to watching Physie Interclubs 2024. A chance to win a medal and eat one too.

Under the Sea hand painted cookie platter. I love the way that it all works together with a limited colour palette.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles but this time it is cake. It is a Chocolate Mud Cake with raspberry Swiss Meringue Buttercream. So this is the first time I have ever made swiss meringue buttercream. For someone that makes cookies it was a challenge leaving me with icing from my head to my toes (I know it shouldn’t be that hard). The TMNT cake was made using a tutorial which was great to do.

When you just feel like making butterflies.

Thinking about the agricultural shows that will roll around soon enough and the effects of no longer having a gall bladder. I will no longer get to eat the cheese dog or the Dagwood dog (Pluto pup or corn dog depending on where you are from), but instead I can have corn on a stick if it isn’t dripping with butter or sauce, and a plain side salad. I will no longer get to enjoy Dutch pancakes or churros or even a funnel cake (if I ever saw one), and instead I may just have to get myself a coffee instead.
This fried food feat is my July homework for McGooU.

03/07/2024

Fishing cookies. I loved making these, and guess what … I get to run a workshop at The Cake Decorators Guild of NSW - Newcastle Branch on the 20th July where we will flood cookies, make royal icing transfers and paint. So looking forward to it.
Cookie cutters are from and

Seahorse dressed and ready to party.
I’ve had a photo of a seahorse sitting on my iPad under inspirations for a while, so I decided to make it. I love the way I have been able to blend the colours together to give it that watercolour feeling.

I’m so thankful to be recognised and nominated for my work with cookie decorating.

At school I was so bad at art that I stopped doing it as soon as I could. I have decided to push myself into areas that scare me, and a big scary area is faces. This is my first portrait cookie (a lucie bakes tutorial). I think it is important to share because we only improve by getting out of our comfort zone. While there are bits that annoy me with it, I am also quite impressed with what I have managed to make. Hopefully with a bit of practice I can improve on my light and shadows.

I’m so over winter and ready for spring. As much as I tend to make larger cookies, getting details in a mini makes me happy. #flowercookies🌸 #flowercookies #daffodilcookies #minicookies #dimensionalroyalicing #royalicingcookies #royalicingcookiesaustralia #royalicingcookiersaustralia #handpaintedcookies #centralcoastcookies #centralcoastnsw

Here are my assembled cookies that were made for the International Cake Show Australia. My little dragon was the largest 3D I have created so far. He was made from 50 cookies, and picked up 3rd place with a silver certificate. #3dcookies #3dgingerbread #dragoncookies #contouredcookies #internationalcakeshow #internationalcakeshowaustralia2024 #royalicingcookies #royalicingcookiesaustralia #gingerbreadcookies #centralcoastcookies #centralcoastnsw

I wanted to share some of my favourite work from the past year after receiving the fabulous news of picking up nominations for the Royal Iced Cookie Artist of the Year and the Cookie Artist of the Year. As much as I love Royal Iced cookies, I also enjoy making fondant cookies occasionally (that said I don't own any embossers or debossers). If you would like to vote for me (to vote you must live in Australia, New Zealand or Papua New Guinea). https://www.acada.com.au/2024-voting-form-australasian-cookie-artist-of-the-year-award.html https://www.acada.com.au/2024-voting-form-royal-iced-artist-of-the-year-award.html A big thank you to ACADA and all the sponsors of these awards. #3dcookies #royalicingcookiersaustralia #royalicingcookies #fondantcookies #fondantcookiesaustralia #decoratedcookies #sugarcookies #gingerbreadcookies #centralcoastcookies #centralcoastnsw

Time to start the new year and get back to Physie. This is a 3D interactive cookie made as part of my February McGooU homework. Love the way it moves. #bjpphysie #woywoyrecphysie #dancecookies #mcgoou #mcgoouhomework #3dcookies #interactivecookies #royalicingcookiersaustralia #royalicingcookies #sugarcookies #sugarcookiesaustralia #centralcoastcookies #centralcoastnsw

I hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas. I only made a few Christmas cookies this year, I hope you like them. #christmascookies #sugarcookies #royalicingcookies #royalicingcookiesaustralia #christmas2023 #christmas2023cookies #centralcoastcookies #centralcoastnsw

I’ve done it. This is my Jellyfish Automaton. With the exception of 2 cake pop sticks it is all edible. Gingerbread, hand painted rice paper and isomalt. I always thought you could make an automaton from Gingerbread and have been thinking about this for over a year. With a lot of trial and error (and my husband’s input) it works. #gingerbread #3dgingerbread #automata #automatoncookie #jellyfishcookies #jellyfishautomaton #movingcookies #royalicingcookiesaustralia #royalicingcookies #handpaintedricepaper #centralcoastcookies #centralcoastnsw

Driving north to QLD with cookies in the car to take to @internationalcakeshowaustralia I hope the weather improves. #drivingintherain #cookiesonboard #fondantcookiesaustralia #royalicingcookiesaustralia
