This pigeon pair were for an 80s themed birthday party, catering for 110 people. Rather than constructing a tall cake which is difficult and stressful to transport, I suggested a smaller display cake and a matching side cake 'just for cutting'. #cake #celebrationcake #birthdaycake #80stheme #ilovethe80s #instacake #cakestagram #acdn #acdnmember #sydneycakes #sydneyfood #sanssouci #carolynskifli

One of my favourite creations to date was this 80s themed birthday cake for a 50th birthday celebration. Inside was a moist chocolate sponge cake with chocolate fudge frosting layers and italian meringue buttercream icing on the outside. The cake was topped with fluoro sugar shards and a light up disco ball (thanks @kmartaus for the prop!) #cake #celebrationcake #50thbirthday #80stheme #disco #fluoro #ilovethe80s #instacake #cakestagram #cakeinspo #acdn #acdnmember #sydneyfood #sydneycakes #sanssouci #carolynskifli

Just recently we celebrated our friend's daughter's 6th birthday. Her daughter wanted a cake with LOL surprise dolls and to be decorated in pink and teal with a splash of silver. The look on her face was priceless when she saw what I came up with.... and is one of the reasons why I love baking so much #cake #birthdaycake #kidsbirthday #lolsurprise #lolsurprisecake #chocolatecake #instacake #cakestagram #cakeinspo #acdn #acdnmember #sydneyfood #sydneycakes #sanssouci #carolynskifli

It has been a bit quiet on the @carolyns_kifli front this year... at the beginning of the year I made a commitment to myself and my family to slow down a bit... so I decided not to take on so many cakes. Even by intentionally slowing down, the year has still sped by and we are almost at the end of July!!! 😨😨 Anyway, I have decided to post some of my favourite creations since the beginning of the year or they will get lost in the ether that is my phone 😂😂... starting with this cake - a white chocolate and passionfruit cake with a white chocolate buttercream for an 80th birthday celebration #cake #celebrationcake #80thbirthday #whitechocolate #passionfruit #flowers #instacake #cakestagram #cakeinspo #sydneycakes #sanssouci #carolynskifli

Playing around with leftover toffee shards and I suddenly have a new favourite way of decorating a lemon cheesecake 💛🍋 #lemon #cheesecake #homemade #handmade

Tonight was my Tafe graduation and I was so humbled and excited to also receive an award for outstanding achievement in my Retail Baking Certificate. I absolutely loved my course and I am so grateful to have learnt so much from my very experienced teachers. If anyone is considering studying baking at Tafe, I highly recommend it! Thanks also to the @australian_patisserie_academy, @frahug171 and Top of The Ridge Pies and Cakes for the very generous gift vouchers. I can't wait to use them! 🙏🙏 #tafe #study #adulteducation #alwayslearning #grateful

An 'I'm a celebrity get me out of here' themed cake for a gorgeous girl's 8th birthday a few weeks back. This was a moist chocolate cake with vanilla italian meringue buttercream, mixed chocolates, chocolate drip and sugar shards #cake #celebrationcake #kidsbirthday #imacelebritygetmeoutofhere #acdnmember #sydneycakes #sydneyfood #sanssouci #carolynskifli

Today's sweet creation was this two-tier chocolate cake with vanilla italian meringue buttercream. I experimented a bit with marbling the fondant for the plaque and I loved the way it turned out. This is the largest cake I have made to date, feeding around 140 people! I had a good workout transporting it to the venue - all 10 or so kilos of it 💪 #cake #thankyou #celebrationcake #retirement #chocolate #flowercake #marble #instacake #cakestagram #acdn #acdnmember #sydneycakes #sydneyfood #sanssouci #carolynskifli

Wishing one of the coolest little men around a very happy 6th birthday! This basketball-themed cake consisted of two tiers of chocolate sponge cake with layers of vanilla italian meringue buttercream. A few of the Darrel Lea choc orange balls may have gone missing in the decorating process... for quality control purposes, of course 😉🏀 #cake #kidsbirthdaycake #basketballcake #basketball #chocolatecake #instacake #cakestagram #kidspot #acdn #acdnmember #sydneycakes #sydneyfood #sanssouci #carolynskifli
