This cake is tops – triceratops! Ahhhh, okay, that’s a bad joke (even for me!), but it’s a good cake, so I hope that will balance things out! I’ve actually made several dino cakes for this family – both their two boys are totally dinosaur obsessed. When so many kids (and grown-ups, for that matter!)… Read More
You may have noticed things have been WARM in Toronto so far this summer. If you’re running out of popsicles and pining for cooler climes, take a look at this cake – Mr. Penguin on his ice floe is chilly enough that he needed his hat and scarf! Doesn’t he have the cutest little penguin butt?? (Also, I enjoy… Read More
This purse cake is stuffed – with a lobster, Coca-Cola, a peach, and a confidential file folder. Oh, and a Starbucks Chai Latte on the side! Just what we all keep in our purses, right? This was for a leaving party for a woman originally from Nova Scotia (lobster). She’s moving to Georgia (peach), worked… Read More
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
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
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
Today’s sweet and simple cake was for a girl who loves yellow. Last time, that was her only request – she wanted her cake to be yellow, so I made this cute bunting cake. This year, she’s into lions, too, so this wild little cake it was!
One of the pleasures of designing cakes is that I get to hear about all sorts of fun kids’ shows that I would otherwise know nothing about. A recent example is this cake, based on the show Peg + Cat. That’s Peg there on the side, and the blue fella dangling from the balloon is her cat. They… Read More
This baby shower cake was for a momma-to-be who is a HUGE fan of purple. I created this cake to match her owl-themed nursery, and of course I had to use lots of purple! In her tiny bundle was a sleepy wee baby owl, also purple!
