These proud parents-to-be decorated their nursery with owls for the arrival of their little girl, so I designed this baby shower cake to match! It was a surprise for mom, since dad sent me a picture of the nursery in secret. It fun to surprise her! Congratulations again, you two – soon to be you… Read More
Congratulations to Carolyn and Dave! Here is a look at their fall-themed wedding cake. This was my first big cake with a buttercream finish (no fondant!), so the smoothing took some time, but I think it turned out well. Dark chocolate cake, white chocolate mousse filling, white chocolate buttercream frosting. Gumpaste leaves.
I made this baby shower cake for one of my wonderful colleagues. The timing of the shower was pretty impeccable (or very last-minute!), since she started going into labour later that day! She welcomed a beautiful, healthy little girl. A few years ago, I made this blue teddy bear cake for the birth of her… Read More
This weekend, the son of one of my very best friends turned one! My friend found this cake online and asked if I could help her replicate it for the party – I said of course I would! My friend make the cake, I made the piggies, and we assembled it together (after sending her… Read More
For her 90th birthday, her family wanted to celebrate the thing that was most important to her – her family. Her granddaughter contacted me to make a cake that captured this theme, so I thought a family tree would be a classic way to do that!
Everyone loves birds… Especially angry ones! This birthday cake was for a good friend. I hope it made him happy instead of angry!
This is the second “book cake” I’ve made, and I’m really having fun with them! (The first was a replica of Breaking Dawn from the Twilight series.) I created this book replica cake for the launch of The High Road, the second novel by Toronto author Terry Fallis. My fiancé used to work with Terry, so I was… Read More
Hi everyone, Sorry for the hiatus on cake posting – it’s been a busy time for me recently! Today’s post is a “Get Well Soon” cake. John is an avid mountain biker, but he took an unfortunate tumble and smashed his leg in three places. Ouch! Well, what better way to make someone feel better… Read More
Well, I think they’re cute, at least – and you’ve got to admit that the title is great alliteration, either way. 🙂 I’m still playing catch up on all the cakes I made before I started this blog, so today is a two-cake old/new combo post. Both are car cakes, so I thought it made… Read More
My partner is a British man, so I have been conditioned over the years to call the sport with the black and white ball you kick with your feet “FOOTBALL”. “American football” is the name of the grunty, tight-pants-big-shoulders, ball-that-you-throw-and-carry-and-kick-now-and-then sport. Okay, I really just call them both football. I don’t discriminate. Okay, and sometimes I… Read More
