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
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
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
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!

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
I admit it – I’ve read all four books of the Twilight series and I loved them. So, I was quite excited when I was asked to make a cake replica of Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final book, for a fan’s birthday. The cake was a surprise from her boyfriend, so I really hope… Read More
