Canadian Bacon

I wanted to incorporate all the things that this client loved about her life in this cake including her family and her hometown of Toronto (actually Hamilton). I love doing cakes where I get to make little tiny fondant accents. I included some close up shots of the elements.

Pottery Barn

This cake was for a bicycle loving potter who plays handball. That's a strange lot to make into a cake but I think this worked out really well. I loved how the colors came out and the client was very happy.

Ladybug Picnic

Down On The Farm

There's No Place Like Home

I did a cake for my friend's housewarming party last weekend. She wanted a fall theme so I decided to make her new house out of cake. It was fun because I got to use my new brick and siding molds. Her dog Bandit was also celebrating his 1st birthday so he got a spot on the driveway.

Ghostbusters

Happy Halloween!!

Sparkling Wine

This was the last wine cake of the week. It was a 30th birthday cake and I wanted to do something kind of girly and sparkly. I made a little brooch from dragees and icing pearls to jazz up the bow.

A Fine Vintage

This is the second of three wine cakes for this week. This is not a new concept, but I tried to make them unique and this was a birthday cake for a gentleman and I wanted to make it masculine.

Maya's Cake

This cake was designed by my friend Maya. She's about turn 7 and she has an awesome imagination. It's a pizza with her on it and a pig eating off the side.

Don't wine about it

Come and visit the letter people, come and meet the family.....

This cake was one for which I didn't have a theme or anything so I decided to do something fun with letters. This cake would be great for anyone, unless your name is sreally, really long, in which case I can make two cakes with a hyphen in between. It's hard to tell in the photo, but the cake was a pale pink with chocolate accents.
**Yes, those are toothpicks sticking out under the letters. This was taken before it was picked up and I wanted to make sure they made it home okay.

Blame Canada!

This was a Canadian themed cake for a corporate event. Each tier represents a different "area" of British Columbia with the bottom layer representing the city, the middle a snowy forest and the top is the mountain peak with a tiny ski chalet.

Al's Florida House

So, this cake was for my best girl Liz's dad Al. He and Liz's mom have a house in Florida that they stay in most of the year and thought it would be nice to immortalize it in cake for his birthday. There are lots of private jokes in this cake that I won't get into, but I hope he enjoyed it. This was honestly one of my favorite cakes to make and to look at. The elements were all super fun and I learned lots of new techniques to use in the future.

"Superheroes"

So, this cake was the second one for my friend's grandson. He wanted his favorite superheroes. Obviously, this cake was a gift and isn't for sale because of those pesky licensing issues, but it's pretty dang cute.

Paulie the Penguin

This was for my friend's grandson. He likes a penguin named Paulie so we made him this wee tiny cake just for him.

Castles Made of Sand

This was an sand castle for my friends Rob and Gwen. They got married in Mexico and wanted to recreate the beachy atmosphere for their reception here. Everything on and around this cake is edible, including the sand.

It's a nice day for a.........

....white wedding cake. It was actually an anniversary cake, but it's very much wedding appropriate. The tiers are spaced and edged with hand made white sugar roses.

Charmed, I'm sure.

I made this cake for my friend Kristi's birthday. I tried a new spin on the gift box cake by making the lid out of gumpaste.



Inside the gift box was a fondant charm bracelet. It's hard to tell here, but it was brushed with shimmery silver dust so it was fancy. The charms are all "inspired" by Disney stuff, which the birthday girl loves.


The lid was a challenge because after I put the bow on, it started to collapse a bit. I had to do some re-engineering but it all worked out.

Aloha!

This cake was for my sister and bro-in-law's 15th wedding anniversary. They love Hawaii and I love Hawaii and I wanted to make a cake about Hawaii so it all worked out for everyone. The base had a grass skirt and the surfboards were hand-painted fondant.

Bunnies in the Meadow

This is a shower cake I did based on the bedding for the nursery.
