Castle Cake

I did this cake for my daughters fifth birthday. Wow! This cake was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I knew it would take time, but it was very time consuming. The humidity also did not help. Let's just say a few tears were shed...especially when half of it fell on the floor! I did manage to rescue it and she never noticed. This was a vanilla cake witha strawberry buttercream filling. It was covered in fondant and decorated with more fondant flowers and edible sparkles. Happy Birthday Nicole!

Bug Cake

I just recently made this cake for my daughter's third birthday. She really likes bugs and animals lately, so I wanted to incorporate that theme. My sister made the little blue ant and I made the other two. This cake took a fair bit of time to make, but I thought the end product was worth it. It was a vanilla cake with a strawberry butter cream filling. All the decorations were either made out of fondant or gum paste. Happy Birthday Emily!!!

Frisian Flag Cake

This cake was done for a friend of mine whose father turned 70. He comes from Holland, and the province of Friesland. He loves all memorabilia having to do with Friesland so this cake was perfect for him. This was a vanilla cake with berry filling and buttercream icing.

30th Anniversary

This cake was done for a local landscaping business that celebrated their 30th anniversary! This was a vanilla cake with vanilla filling. It was iced in vanilla butter cream icing. The flowers were made out of royal icing.

Chocolate and Strawberries

This cake was for my aunt's 50th birthday. This was a chocolate cake with oreo cream cheese filling. It was iced with chocolate buttercream and chocolate ganache. Then I topped it off with chocolate dipped strawberries! Yum!!!

Baseball Cake

This cake was for my uncle's 50th birthday. This was the first time I made a cake in this shape, and I think it turned out well. (Gotta love your good ole Pyrex bowl!)This was a butter pecan cake with standard buttercream filling and it was also iced in buttercream.

Brown and White Wedding

So this is probably my favourite cake so far. This was for my cousin's wedding and it took a lot of work but was a lot of fun. Every tier but the top one was fake. It was covered in white and chocolate brown fondant. I thought it turned out really well! Congratulations Jon and Candace!

So, I'm back...

Well, I guess it has been a little while since I posted last. I have been doing a few cakes here and there, but after baby number three in November, things have slowed down a little. I hope to catch up with my posting now and I have some more cakes coming up in the near future. So I am back!!

Funky Brown and Pink Wedding Shower Cake

This is a cake that I did for my cousins wedding shower. Her sister also was a great assitant to me with this cake. It was a chocolate cake with a white chocolate rasberry filling. It was then covered in fondant. This cake was pretty labour intensive, but still a lot of fun to do! I would not recommend doing this filling again, it did not taste very good. But you only know if you try it right??

Little Mermaid

This cake was for my oldest daughter's birthday. She is really into The Little Mermaid right now, so this is what she got! This was a vanilla cake with berry filling. Ariel was star tipped onto the cake. I was not entirely pleased with the final results but Nicole loved it, so really that is all that counts!
