Oh, hello, deer! I made a wall-mounted deer head cake! As you do. The birthday fella is an avid hunter and outdoorsman, so his daughter requested a deer cake. Fair enough, I thought, but the ultimate hunter’s trophy is the buck’s head with a full eight-point rack. So why do a whole deer when I… Read More
I had a very exciting cake to make this week – I made the birthday cake for Canadian NBA superstar Andrew Wiggins! I’ve made jersey cakes before, but never for the person actually ON the jersey. I replicated his jersey down to the last detail, including his team logo! His team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, was… Read More
It’s February, and love is in the air. Everyone loves minions, that much we know – but what do minions love? Bananas! Now, my husband said apparently not everyone knows that minions love bananas (WHAAAAAAAT?), so here is some evidence for you. Now that we have that detail sorted, we can get back to romance,… Read More
Normally when people think of fish cakes, this isn’t the type that comes to mind. This one is even better, though – it’s cake! It was for the birthday of an avid fisherman. Apparently, it took some convincing for the guest of honour to believe that the fish was part of the cake. He thought it… Read More
I can hardly BEAR how cute this cake is! (Ahaha, punny.) If you’ve never heard of the show Masha and the Bear, you should check it out – it’s actually a kids’ cartoon from Russia, and it’s super cute. For twins Jora & Joesh, it’s apparently the best show ever. Their mom said they’re obsessed with it, so,… Read More
Did you know January is Hot Tea Month? When it’s snowing and blowing outside, there’s nothing like a hot cuppa to warm up – especially when it’s made of cake. My husband is British, so we drink a lot of tea in this house. It’s not usually like this, though! This cake was requested for a… Read More
Folks, this IS the droid you’re looking for. You’ve likely heard of a little movie that just came out called Star Wars: The Force Awakens. You know, the one currently smashing all the box office records. Well, I’ve had the chance to see it (loved it, no spoilers!), and I must say that I’m quite enamoured with… Read More
Who loves Muppets? I do! Doesn’t everyone? (At least everyone I know does!) I loved Sesame Street as a kid, so the show still holds a very fond place in my heart. Elmo was introduced a bit after my time (Grover was always my favourite!), but he’s cute all the same – and he was certainly fun to make… Read More
Do you want to build a Frozen cake? And no, I don’t mean heading down to your local DQ (though those ice cream cakes are DELICIOUS)… I mean the smash-hit Disney movie with those catchy songs that kids (of all ages) couldn’t stop singing (ever…). With Toronto’s first real touch of winter weather lately, what better time to… Read More
Everyone loves a good steak. If you’re craving something that looks meaty and but tastes sweet, this cake should hit the spot! This nice, juicy t-bone is actually a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream. It’s covered in a blend of fondant and modelling chocolate and hand-painted to give it that char-grilled look and texture. The… Read More
