I made this cake for a farewell party at a company. The guest of honour is a big fan of cheese, in all its forms. They’d considered just serving big wheels of actual cheese, but since everyone also loves cake, we came up with this idea – a cake that LOOKS like cheese! The top tier… Read More
Okay, I’ve been sitting on this one a little while (not the actual cake – that would be sticky. And bad for business. I guarantee that all my cakes are non-sat-on). Now, however, I am happy to present you with one of my favourite recent cakes – an iPhone cake! This cake was ordered by… Read More
Winter this year seemed like it would last forever. Thankfully, it didn’t – and now that we’re all enjoying the warmth of a well-deserved summer, why don’t we think about some ice and snow again? Now, before you start sending me snowballs as hate mail, don’t worry, I’m certainly not missing the cold (I was one… Read More

Happy Easter-was-last-week, everyone! Sorry I’m a bit late with posting my contributions to the festivities, but it was a pretty busy week – I had three cakes in one weekend (whew – posting the others soon!).

But it’s certainly a good thing to eat! I tried out my pretty new cake stand for the first time today,… Read More
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
I didn’t make any New Year’s Resolutions this year. Who wants to resolve to lose weight when there’s still all that Christmas chocolate around to be eaten? Not me!! Anyway, I did make a couple of February resolutions, one of which was to take better photos of my cakes. You’d think that since I do… Read More
