Happy 50th Birthday!
I made this pretty, rustic birthday cake this weekend. It was a great chance to try out some new rose petal cutters I got – I definitely approve, and I can’t wait to use them again soon!

A Super Superhero Cake
I made this “super” cake for a very special eight-year-old. Spiderman, Batman and Superman – the big three are here! The logos are hand painted, and, like the rest of the cake (of course!), fully edible. There is one little post holding up the 3D eight, but otherwise, you can chow down on all of… Read More
Chai Latte Rustic Wedding Cake
I made this lovely rustic wedding cake this weekend. The couple was debating between lemon or chai for the flavour, but knew they wanted a rustic style. After tasting some samples, the chai won out, so the end result was this chai latte cake with a complementary chai buttercream. The spices in the icing gave… Read More
A Dino-riffic Birthday!
I made a cake this weekend for the 2nd birthday of my very dear friend’s son. He’s a big fan of the show Dinosaur Train (which I hadn’t even heard of since I don’t have kids of my own!), so we modelled this cake after the two main characters on the show. I baked and filled… Read More
Birthday Book Cake
This is a pretty special cake today – as such, I’ve indulged with a few more photos than usual, so I hope you’ll enjoy them – after all, isn’t cake all about indulgence? (Wait, what am I talking about? Cake is essential, not an indulgence. Let’s all remember that.) 🙂 This cake is for the… Read More
Happy Valentine’s Day with Strawberry Ombre Rosettes!
Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Whether you’ve got a valentine to snuggle up to today or not, cake is always a good thing to snuggle. …Well, maybe don’t actually snuggle it – that sounds sticky. But it’s certainly a good thing to eat! I tried out my pretty new cake stand for the first time today,… Read More
Pink Bear Baby Shower Cake
Here’s a baby shower cake I did back in the fall (I’m trying to post more regularly this year!). The client initially wanted little booties on top, but after they saw the little bears on my blog from some other baby shower cakes I did, they decided to go for a bear too! That made… Read More
Perfectly Purple Ombre Petals
In continuing the theme of buttercream cakes, here is another I did recently! This technique is called petal effect, and the term for the graduated colour is “ombre”. Sounds fancy, huh? 🙂 What do you think? Do you prefer this petal effect, or the piped rosette cake I posted last week? They were both fun… Read More
A Sweet Rosette Birthday
I made this pretty rosette cake for a recent birthday. The piped buttercream rosettes were actually quite quick to do, but I love how they turned out. So did the birthday girl, actually – so much so that her mom ordered another exactly the same a week later! (Not that you need an excuse to… Read More
A Pretty Birthday Cake
Today’s cake is a simple, pretty birthday cake. Birthday girl Jelissa’s favourite colours are lavender, pink and green, so I created this cake to check all the boxes!
