I just loved this cute little farm cake! The party was held at Toronto’s Riverdale Farm, so the cake was a perfect fit. The 2D scene around the lower tier featured Mr. Horse in his barn… …along with Sheep, Piggy, and a bright red bow! Miss Cow (since clearly she’s a lady cow…) topped it off… Read More
A trio of cute little animals decorates this sweet first birthday cake! Here’s Mr. Giraffe: Mr. Lion, chillin’ and danglin’ on the edge of the tier: And little Mr. Elephant (okay, maybe he’s more rotund than little…): They all have cute little tails, as well, but for some reason I didn’t think to get a shot… 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?

Yes, you heard/read correctly: a wedding cake inspired by the novel “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” by Roald Dahl. Fun, huh?? Katy and I know each other through work, and last year she was planning her wedding. She’d already arranged for me to take her photos (I also do photography as another side endeavor –… Read More
After making the wedding party cake for my brother that I posted about last time, I didn’t really do too much in terms of “fancy” cakes for a while. I still did a lot of baking (and eating!), of course, but the baking bug took a bit of a back seat for a little bit.… Read More
