This baby shower cake is bow central! But really, what screams baby girl more than pretty pink bows? And lots of them! These teeny tiny bows are my new favourite accent. They're ridiculously cute! Also, how beautiful is the name Abigael! Love, love, love everything about this cake!
There's nothing I love more than making cakes that look like food. Okay, maybe it's a close second after cakes shaped like zombies, but seriously! The illusion of a cake looking so much like something else, and then tasting like chocolate heaven is so deceivingly delightful! I love it!
So you know I was super excited about making a cake shaped like an orange! And the Tropicana orange from the juice boxes no less. I was asked to make it chocolate orange flavoured, and completely vegan. Yay! A challenge! I can't even put into words how much fun I had with this little one!
Enjoy!
I had a grapefruit lying around, so obviously I had to take a picture of it with my cake :)
Sports themed cakes are always the number one go-to for guys' birthday cakes. Or maybe I just know a lot of sporty people? Whatever it is, I've made so many soccer balls, basketballs, footballs, jerseys, you name it! They can get a bit repetitive after a while, but the fun part is always the team logo. And there's almost always a really fun team logo. But my question is, where do these logos come from!? I've replicated logos with babies, animals, and now, with what look like two prehistoric hammers...
This yummy hockey jersey was a chocolate cake with mascarpone filling. Soooo good!
This weekend, I had a very last minute wedding. By last minute, I mean I met with the bride and groom a week before their big day! Eek! Luckily, I was available to make them their cake, and I was able to make a sweet couple very happy. :)
They were having a fairly small wedding, so they didn't need anything too big, but the bride wanted it to be as tall as possible. She wanted a traditional pillared cake, which usually isn't my cup of tea... but my brides get what my brides want! I put my own little spin on the picture she came to me with, and I have to say, I ended up liking it way more than I expected. Instead of the usual piped detail, I mimicked the same look using fondant pearls and fondant swags, all topped with some orchid bouquets.
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm about to introduce you to the cutest foreign cartoon ever! It's Brazilian, it's in portuguese, its so insanely adorable, and it's almost hypnotizing!
No wonder it's so darn loved by the kiddos over there, right!? Apparently it's a very popular birthday party theme as well. Now if that video wasn't adorable enough, here is it in cake for a little girl's first birthday!
Wait, wait, there's more! Matching cupcakes, of course!
The party mama also sent me this picture of their setup. Is she talented, or what!? I love seeing creative sweet tables like these, especially when my cakes are right in the middle of all this deliciousness!
Happy Canada Day lovelies! Summer has officially taken over, and it's been really difficult to find time to blog. I thought this would be the perfect cake to get me back in the rhythm of things! ...
Ba dum tsss! Haha, lame, I know! I try...
A few weeks ago, I was asked to reproduce a snare drum in cake for Michael's 17th birthday, topped with two drumsticks. What guy wouldn't love this cake!? I know it's July, but while making this cake, I couldn't help but sing Little Drummer Boy the entire time. Pa rum pam pam pam! I hope I got it stuck in your heads too now ;) Enjoy!
I'm obsessed with coral. (After periwinkle, of course!) Anything I buy lately is coral. Nail polish, clothes, even my toothbrush is coral! If it's any shade of pink, orange, and anything in between, I have to have it. It's time I seek professional help... Needless to say, I'm dying for someone to order a coral cake... hint hint! Unfortunately, it hasn't happened just yet, but I have been able to play around with my next color obsession - teal/turquoise/seafoam. Pair it with coral, and you've got a winning combination!
How amazing is this coral and seafoam combination!?
A couple of months ago, I was asked to pair Tiffany blue and gray in some mini treats, which was an amazing combo! This time, I was asked to pair turquoise with gold, along with a bold contrasting colour. Keep these beautiful colour trends coming lovelies!
