Meet Mr. Crab! I really enjoyed making this cute baby shower cake. Plus, crab cakes are always delicious, right? Ahahaha. Okay, it’s not a crab cake, it’s a vanilla cake with white chocolate mousse. Probably a better choice for a baby shower (and definitely a fun one)! I loved little Mr. Crab – I kind… Read More
Winter this year seemed like it would last forever. Thankfully, it didn’t – and now that we’re all enjoying the warmth of a well-deserved summer, why don’t we think about some ice and snow again? Now, before you start sending me snowballs as hate mail, don’t worry, I’m certainly not missing the cold (I was one… Read More
As a counterpoint to last week’s girly cake, I now present a very manly little cake for a manly little boy! This was actually for a baptism, but could easily serve for a baby shower or birthday too (even for grown up, not so little boys with moustaches and bow ties of their own!). Here’s… Read More
Today’s pretty cake was designed for a little girl whose favourite colour is yellow – I think it fit the bill! I balanced the delicate lace-y borders with fun, multi-coloured bunting and a big, polka dot bow.
I made this cute stegosaurus birthday cake recently for a little boy who absolutely LOVES dinosaurs. I sent his mom a couple of different designs, initially – one was a cake shaped like a dino, like this one, and the other was a round cake with a little dino figure on top. The birthday boy liked… Read More
Here is the third (and final) cake I made last weekend – whew, that was a lot of cake! This cake was a special one, since it was for the combined birthdays of my wonderful godparents (love you guys!). However, I only managed to get a few quick snaps of it, since my ravenous family… Read More
Here we go: as promised, here is the second of three cakes I made last weekend! This vintage-inspired pink wedding shower cake has piped buttercream ruffles and a gumpaste peony. The top tier is smooth-iced buttercream. It’s a bit hard to see in the photos, but I dusted the flower with some edible gold lustre dust… Read More
I know it’s supposed to be Throwback Thursday today, but I had some exciting news to share instead: Cakes by Caralin just reached 200 followers! Woot woot! 🙂 To celebrate this milestone, I’m going to offer my very first “Win Free Cupcakes” contest! Up for grabs? One dozen full-size OR two dozen mini cupcakes in the… Read More
Happy Easter-was-last-week, everyone! Sorry I’m a bit late with posting my contributions to the festivities, but it was a pretty busy week – I had three cakes in one weekend (whew – posting the others soon!). Well, I hope you’re not too chocolate-bunny-ed out to enjoy one more Easter goody, because here it is!
So, I originally started this blog several years ago. Those of you who have been following me since then (thanks, guys!!) know that I sort of fell off the wagon and didn’t post anything for a while (okay, I didn’t post anything for a loooong time), but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t making tasty cakes! (To… Read More
