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
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!

That’s Peg there on the side, and the blue fella dangling from the balloon is her cat. They… Read More
Vrroooom – today’s cake is a sweet but simple race car cake, for a very sweet four-year-old. I love the red and blue colour combo. I think it really punches it up!
Today’s cake is a cute woodland scene, with a furry Mr. Fox and his friend the Owl. I’d been wanting to try a tree stump cake for a while, so I was thrilled to get this request! It was fun playing with the textures to get the cut side and the bark looking just right.… Read More
Today’s cake was for the first birthday of a very special little monkey. …Okay, it wasn’t actually for a monkey, it was for a human child (in case you were concerned), but since she was born her parents have called her their little monkey. For her first birthday party, then, they thought it fitting to… Read More
What is it about these crazy little minions that everyone just loves? Well, they’re cute, silly, fun-loving and ever so slightly ridiculous, so what’s not to love? If the new Minions movie opening today is any indication, they’ve long outgrown their humble Despicable Me past to shine brightly on their own! Today’s cake was for a… Read More
Go Habs go! As a proud Toronto resident and a long-suffering Leafs fan, I’m just happy to see Canadian teams in the playoffs. At the moment, I’m glad to see the Canadiens! As I write this post, I’ve got the Montreal-Tampa Bay Game 1 on in the background, and they just tied it up. Woot!… Read More
