Hello Sweetie

As popular as Hello Kitty is, this is surprisingly my first ever project themed around this cutesy little cat. Birthday girl's party momma contacted me asking to make an ombre cake and matching Kitty cookies. I was so very excited, seeing as the very talented ladies planning this party always design the most beautiful sweet tables. 

I made this little girl's baby shower cake, as well as her 1st birthday cake, and now, the big two! It's quite possibly my favourite part of what I do! I get to be a part of all the big moments in this little lady's life, from even before she was actually born!

Ivory and Gold

I'm sorry! I have probably been the worst blogger to ever exist. It's been forever since my last post, and it's not for lack of cakes to write about! I have been caking non stop, and it's been wonderful! A whole lot of big things are happening this year, it's all so very exciting! I took part in my very first bridal show in January (pictures to come), my new website is up (www.winkle.ca) and a whole lot more exciting stuff to follow! But first, here are a few pictures from my last two weddings of 2013. 

The first is from a wedding that was held at the beautiful Windsor. Such an elegant location required an equally elegant cake! The bride wanted to surprise her hubby to be with a soccer ball somehow incorporated into the cake. The bottom tier was also inspired by her wedding dress. I'm loving the ruffle rose, and the trend hasn't died down just yet! I still have two more for 2014 weddings with ruffle roses! So pretty! 

So, I had to beautify a soccer ball, include inspirations from the bride's dress, and make the sure the whole thing wasn't a hot mess, and would fit into the elegant setting of Le Windsor. Challenge accepted!

My last wedding of 2013 was a December wedding held at Auberge St-Gabriel. I was asked to create a vintage lace inspired sweet table, filled with cookies, macarons, cupcakes, and at the centre of it all, another ivory and gold cake. We brought in a ton of props, from candle sticks, jewelry boxes, and even little perfume bottles to tie it all together!
