To say we're a bit behind in our blog would be an understatement. It's been a crazy few months, but we're super excited to get back into posting updates of our work, and sharing everything that we've done over the past year. This post will be a quick look into some of our favourite cakes and treats that we've finished lately. And stay tuned for a very busy spring and summer!<br />
<br />
This first cake was a super cute heart-shaped quilting cake. This was quite a difficult and time-consuming cake, but we LOVED the way it turned out. It was definitely like building and putting together a puzzle from scratch :)<br />

These next two cakes are two of our most recent tiered cakes. They're both so unique and elegant and we're always so excited to see how the final product comes together. Both of these cakes required the use of new techniques and we love any excuse to practice new and creative ways of creating the requested designs :).<br />
<br />
This first cake was a beautiful 3-tiered cake with a middle pleated tier. We added a hand-made flower to tie everything together.<br />
<br />

<br />
This second cake is a smaller 2-tiered cake using chevrons and a simple monogram. The sunflowers brought everything together and we absolutely loved how it turned out.<br />
<br />

And finally, we recently started making and selling traditional french macarons. After quite a bit of practice (macarons are sure temperamental!), we finally mastered the art and created some colourful and deliciously delicate treats :). The macarons pictured below are pistachio, salted caramel and strawberry buttercream. Yum!!<br />

Today's post features some of our recent retirement and birthday cakes. We LOVE doing these types of cakes as we're able to bring in elements of each person to truly personalize each cake. These cakes are a lot of work and take hours to complete all of the little handmade decorations but we absolutely love seeing the finished products and seeing and hearing reactions from our clients :).<br />
<br />
The first cake up is a retirement cake for a lucky guy who just bought a new truck. We recreated the truck out of cake and filled it to the brim with items that he loves. From golf clubs to guitars, spaghetti to baseball, this cake is truly a reflection of all of his favourites! We even included a garbage can full of work related items he'll no longer need :P<br />

Next up is a retirement cake for for an employee who plays bass guitar in a band. We created an almost life-size replica of his guitar in cake and included a passport and boarding pass to represent his upcoming travels. This was a HEAVY cake but we hope he was thrilled with the result! :)<br />

Last cake up is a retirement/birthday cake for a lucky lady who is about to move to Cape Breton. For this cake, we created a replica of her brand new house, a nautical lighthouse, and the Cape Breton flag. Can we come visit Jo-anne??<br />

From birthday parties to Christenings, baby showers to gender reveal parties, every cake was so much fun to make and we hope just as much fun to eat!<br />
<br />
First up are three birthday cakes. Each one is so different but we loved each and every one of them! We love doing children's birthday cakes because we can use tons of bright colours and lots of adorable little decorations.<br />
<br />
The first cake is a second birthday cake for a lucky little boy who LOVES trucks. We made his first birthday cake last year (a super cute dump truck!) so this year we went with a construction truck, filled to the brim with chocolate brownies. We also included an adorable little fondant moose, who may or may not have stolen a bite of brownie ;)<br />

The second cake was for a Cookie Monster themed first birthday party. And, of course, you can't have a cookie monster cake without fresh baked chocolate chip cookies!<br />

The third birthday cake was actually two cakes, as they were for twins! We created two first birthday doggie cakes, one for each child :). We also made some matching cupcakes, with handmade doggie fondant faces on each one. Thanks so much to <a href="http://www.jennifervansonphoto.com/" target="_blank">Jennifer van Son Photography</a> for the amazing pictures of our treats!<br />

The next cake we're featuring was for a baby shower. We decorated this confetti flavoured cake with a beautiful sky coloured fondant and then covered it with tiny fondant baby clothes, trees, flowers, and some gumpaste baby booties. This was a perfect cake for a summertime baby shower and we were thrilled with the way it turned out :)<br />

Next up was another cake for twins :). This one was a Christening cake and we absolutely loved the result. We went with a purple ombre swirl design which created an elegant and beautiful cake.<br />

Last up for this post is a gender reveal cake! These parties are becoming more and more popular. The excited mom gave us the gender and we dyed the inside of the cake and the icing either blue or pink. It's a fantastic way to surprise your friends and family with the exciting announcement!<br />

Yes, it's been a LONG time since our last post. We couldn't believe how busy we've been the past few months. The summer flew by and then all of a sudden it was Christmas! The good news is that we now have dozens of cakes, cookies and cupcakes to feature on our upcoming blog posts :).<br />
<br />
To start things off, we decided to feature the wedding cakes that we worked on this past summer. We've included one we had already posted in early summer, but thought we should include it again here for those of you who may have missed it.<br />
<br />
First up we have a elegant single-tiered wedding cake. The bride went with a vintage theme to her wedding, so the cake was designed to match, with a beautiful ruffled design and a single pink peony. We absolutely loved the simplicity and elegance of this lemon flavoured cake.<br />
<br />

Next up was a super fun Margaritaville-themed cake! This cake was so much fun and PERFECT for a casual summer wedding taking place beside a lake. We loved the bright and crazy colours and we had a blast designing all of the little decorations to surround the water-coloured fondant. This cake was also lemon flavoured, which proved to be very popular for our weddings this summer!<br />

<br />
We did several three-tiered wedding cakes this summer, the first one being this gorgeous blue ombre petal cake which we posted early in the summer. Just because we loved it so much, here it is again! :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Next up was a tropical three-tiered cake, complete with handmade orchids which perfectly matched the wedding couple's orchid centrepieces. We love the contrast of the bright pink and blues in the flowers to the minty green of the ribbon. And the silver pearls on each tier brought just a touch of sparkle to the already glowing cake :)<br />
<br />

<br />
Finally, our last wedding cake was another three-tiered square cake. This cake was a simple and elegant cake, with the ultimate glamour saved for the cake topper: two handmade jewelled peacocks to match the sparkly ribbon surrounding each tier. We were thrilled with how the peacocks turned out and love the cascading tail draping down the back of the cake :)<br />

Thanks for stopping by everyone!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728318008356878612.post-86760732700410739502013-07-13T13:26:00.000-07:002013-07-13T13:26:42.750-07:00Little Bit of Everything!So it looks like we've been slacking with our blog posts again! We must be into the busy wedding and party season :). We've had a VERY busy few weeks with some super fun (and delicious) results! First, we'll start with all of the fun party cakes that we've been making recently.<br />
<br />
First up, Bubble Guppies! Now we have to admit, before this order, we had absolutely no clue who or what the Bubble Guppies were. Luckily after doing some research, we were excited to find out that they were super cute ocean characters. We couldn't wait to get started making all of the fun characters and decorations to go with this theme! For this party we made Bubble Guppies cake pops, cupcakes and of course, a cake! We made this lucky two-year old's first birthday cake a year ago and couldn't believe that it had been a year already! We hope she liked her special birthday treats and can't wait for her third birthday! :)<br />

Next up was a retirement cake for a local fireman. Anyone who's seen our past cakes knows how much we love doing cakes shaped like trucks, and this was no exception! We try to make all of our cakes different. So even though we've done several fire truck cakes in the past, we're constantly switching up the design of the truck to make every one unique :). Enjoy your retirement Jim!<br />

Keeping with the theme of transportation, our next cake was a GO train cake! For all of you fellow Torontonians, you'll know exactly what we're talking about. For everyone else, think commuter train :). This cake was for a lucky guy who just recently became a licensed train operator. This design was a first for us but we loved how it turned out! Congratulations Brad!<br />

<br />
Next up, baby shower cookies! We've made these onesie cookies several times now, but we always come up with new colours, patterns, designs and decorations to make them 'new'. These are quickly becoming a favourite amongst our clients and we love making them!<br />

Our second last cake was a 50th birthday cake for a fitness buff! You all know how much we love theme cakes, so we had a ton of fun thinking of all of the different things you would find in a gym and recreating them in gumpaste. From dumbbells to medicine balls, water bottles to treadmills, we think we captured the fitness theme pretty good! :). Happy Birthday Sam!<br />

And last but most definitely not least, we finished off with a wedding cake! We LOVED how this cake turned out. It's classic and simple and perfect for a summertime wedding. We made flowers of different shapes and colours and put them all together on this beautiful 2-tiered cake. The weather was perfect for this wedding and we hope the happy couple had an absolutely perfect day :)<br />

But that's what our last couple of weeks has been like, a little bit of everything! It's been a crazy few days and we LOVED it! Our most recent cakes are some of our favourites that we've ever made. And we think it's fair to say that wedding and Summer party season has officially started!<br />
<br />
Speaking of summer, first up was a cake PERFECT for the sunny, hot, bbqing, party weather. The birthday boy is a huge fan of Corona beer, so when his wife was planning his party, she knew that the cake HAD to incorporate details of his favourite beer. We were allowed to get super creative with this cake so we decided on a fondant covered ice bucket carrot cake, complete with sugar Corona bottles, and lots of adorable edible sugar limes, ice cubes, beer caps and of course, a bottle opener! We were so happy with how this cake turned out and were thrilled that clients loved it as much as we did :)<br />
<br />

<br />
Next up, we switched gears from beer...to wine! We love making wine cakes because we're able to incorporate so many classic details such as grapes, vines, corks, etc. This cake is reminiscent of trips to Italy and France and we hope it brought a big smile to the lucky birthday client's face :)<br />
<br />
We started with our yummy vanilla bean cake, filled with fluffy vanilla buttercream and covered this in woodgrain fondant panels. We then created bunches of sugar grapes, curly cues, leaves, corks and a corkscrew. We loved the colours we chose, which gave the cake a gorgeous vintage feel. Another favourite!<br />

<br />
Because the cake above was for a birthday party for twins, there of course needed to be two cakes! For the second cake, we went with a golf theme. We decided on a golf bag design to go with out delicious carrot cake with pecan praline filling and cream cheese icing. And of course, we had to finish the cake off with sugar golf balls and tees! We hope the twins enjoyed their birthdays, and we hope there were some hungry party guests to get through all this cake! :)<br />

<br />
And last but definitely not least, was the first of our many summer wedding cakes! The happy bride and groom decided on our delicious vanilla bean cake with a blueberry buttercream icing. Perfect for their blue-coloured winery wedding!<br />
<br />
We went with a 4-tiered round cake and covered all of the layers with classic white fondant. Then it was petal time! We made 1000 petals for this cake (!) and then got to work cascading them down the tiers in a gorgeous ombre design. Since this cake was going on a two hour journey to get to the venue, we made sure every petal was as secure as possible! Thanks goodness for royal icing! We finished the cake off with a shimmery pearl sheen which made the whole cake shine. The result was an elegant and dramatic wedding cake that fit in perfectly with the decor. Bring on the rest of the summer weddings, we're ready! :)<br />

It's so much fun getting to incorporate our own twist on to the theme of the party. And when that theme is Tinkerbell, we get to bring out the super bright colours, glitter, and of course...magic!<br />
<br />
We had so much fun with this first party. It was for a first birthday party. The proud mom chose cupcakes for the occasion which meant we got to come up with all kinds of fun designs! For Tinkerbell we of course had to tie in the mischievous little fairy herself. We also created some sparkly magic wands, dainty little flowers and butterflies, glittery stars and of course, her cute little pom-pommed shoes! We started with our lemon cupcakes and chocolate cupcakes and covered them all in our deliciously sweet vanilla buttercream, tinted in all of Tinkerbell's favourite colours. Then we added on all of our magical little decorations and voila! Tinkerbell cupcakes ready for the birthday girl!<br />

Our next party was a baby shower. The gender was a surprise so the colours for the shower were of course, pink and blue! The family decided on cake pops for the shower favours so we got to work making 3 dozen baby shaped pops. We went with half chocolate and half vanilla. Each cake pop was dipped in white chocolate and then decorated half with pink soothers and adorable little bonnets for the girls, and the other half with blue soothers for the boys! And we finished all of them off with some cute little hair curls :).<br />
<br />
Once they were all dry and ready to go, we packaged them up in clear bags and tied them off with some pink and blue ribbon. The perfect little baby shower treat!<br />

And last but definitely not least, another baby shower! We went with our super cute monkey's and onesies again, but this time went with a yellow theme. We also added some adorable designs to the onesies with some polka-dots and stripes to tie in some greens, browns and ivories. We love these cookies and think they make a perfect shower favour!<br />

From a moustache themed baby shower, to a Croods themed birthday party, our latest four projects have kept us very busy, and we loved it!<br />
<br />
First up was a weekend of birthday cakes. The lucky birthday girl was actually having TWO parties and therefore, got two cakes! First, to go with the party plan of viewing the new movie 'The Croods', we created a cake in the spirit of the movie. We started with our yummy chocolate cake with chocolate fudge buttercream, covered it in fondant and then created all of the fun characters from the movie. We then covered the cake in some fondant and rice krispie square caves and finished the cake off with some colourful plants. We hope the Croods, and the birthday girl, loved the cake as much as we did!<br />
<br />

<br />
For the second birthday cake, the theme was the birthday girl's favourite Disney princess...Belle! We created a skirt made out of lemon cake, covered it in bright yellow fondant and then formed the bodice, head and details. And voila! Belle! We placed her on top of our delicious lemon cake with lemon buttercream and covered it in the same bright yellow fondant. We finished the cake off with the classic red roses from the movie and we were so happy with the way it turned out!<br />

<br />
Next up...cupcakes! (It was a busy weekend!). We received a request for baby shower cupcakes, but this wasn't your typical blue or pink baby shower. The theme was moustaches...for a baby boy of course! We LOVED the originality of this idea and it allowed us to have so much fun creating these cupcakes! We made our classic chocolate cupcakes with chocolate fudge buttercream, and vanilla bean cupcakes with vanilla buttercream. Then we created some light blue scalloped shapes and topped them with some light brown gumpaste moustaches. We thought they were absolutely adorable and we hope the soon-to-be new mom thought so too :)<br />

<br />
And last but certainly not least, we had the pleasure of creating an absolutely adorable cake for a little girl's first Communion. We started with our chocolate cake and filled it with a super yummy chocolate hazelnut buttercream. We then covered the cake in some classic white fondant and covered it with tiny white flowers and some candy pearls. We then created a gumpaste figurine to go on top, complete with a tiny rosary. We finished the cake off with an elegant banner and painted the letters in edible gold. We hope you liked it Alexandra! :)<br />

We took a bit of break while we were undergoing some kitchen renovations, but we've been back at it for a couple of weeks and are excited to share our latest creations! :)<br />
<br />
First up...a fruit basket! But not just any fruit basket of course. This one was made of a cake basket and hand formed fruits! We love detailed cakes because we can let our creativity go crazy, which is what we did creating all of the fun little pieces of fruit on this cake. The cake was a vanilla bean cake with lemon custard and fresh blueberry filling. It was covered in vanilla bean buttercream in the basket weave pattern. We were so happy with the finished product and hope the birthday girl was as well! :)<br />

Next up...Easter!! We had orders for cupcakes and cookies over the holiday weekend. For the cupcakes, we went with three different flavours: carrot, vanilla and banana. Yummy and fresh, perfect for Easter dessert!<br />

And this one was pure elegance and glamour :). The couple was going with a black and white theme, complete with glittery, sparkly rhinestone accents. So of course we had to make the cupcakes match as perfectly as possible :).<br />
<br />
We started with the top of the cupcake tower, which was a small cake for the ceremonial cake cutting. The flavour choice for this was chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream. A favourite for the groom! We went with a classic white fondant, and then stenciled on a black damask pattern out of icing. We used a black ribbon and some gorgeous rhinestones and finished it off with some black and white flowers on top. Very classy :)<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then it was on to the cupcakes! The couple chose three different flavours for their treats. First up was our famous banana cupcakes with a delicious fudgy chocolate buttercream. Next up was our classic red velvet and cream cheese, and last but certainly not least, our lemon cupcakes with lemon buttercream.</div>

Then it was off to the reception to set up the display. We decided to add in some hand-made sugar calla lilies to match the brides bouquet. We also decided to decorate the cupcake stand with a matching black ribbon complete with rhinestone accents. We LOVED how it tied the whole display together. We were thrilled with the finished product and hope the bride and groom were as well! :)<br />

I think we've all grown up with this fabulous show, and in honour of a certain little two year old's birthday party, what better way to celebrate than with some familiar characters!<br />
<br />
Charlotte LOVES Elmo so he was top on her list for her birthday party. We decided to bring in a few more fun and colourful characters as well! In fact, this order was all about fun and colour! We had so much fun playing around with the character's faces, making sure they were just right and recognizable as the characters we all love!<br />
<br />
Because this was a cupcake order, we got to be extra creative since there were so many individual little cakes to play with. We started with regular size cupcakes and dressed these guys up as the main attractions, then added in some super colourful mini cupcakes for those that just wanted a quick bite :).<br />
<br />
First up was of course, the star player...Elmo. We started with some big eyes, a happy fondant mouth and his big round orange nose. We covered the cupcakes in piped frosting and put them all together!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIZk_xk57G71DLnPFw_EgoVk_co7bG-vNyFvAlk1ENmew7usXQNALNjvUc5cLXl1uceGO3Ud3gGuSDLeUAYWjRmxlgWoX6NgILcD_9hTwfvDwKX3hfqOvz-36tarhU23tSNHKoGiFVR4Br/s1600/sesame3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIZk_xk57G71DLnPFw_EgoVk_co7bG-vNyFvAlk1ENmew7usXQNALNjvUc5cLXl1uceGO3Ud3gGuSDLeUAYWjRmxlgWoX6NgILcD_9hTwfvDwKX3hfqOvz-36tarhU23tSNHKoGiFVR4Br/s640/sesame3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Next up was everybody's favourite garbage can dwelling grouch...Oscar! We went with a furry piping tip for him, added on the nose and mouth, and voila! He looks pretty happy for a grouch to us! :P<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Z_Dp9jXzqvGvSyiSOg41I5szZYTAoPMYIUjnflXSUtQOvtMenXZTj0W0d7tN1SMM3HbHw8g6FTtQRcOXXNlGbJO7CG3wDJ88PuDq94UI29cdcXDC2CdHKnqrJyQ8A2Qh-FUOZdW1QjSr/s1600/sesame4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="496" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4Z_Dp9jXzqvGvSyiSOg41I5szZYTAoPMYIUjnflXSUtQOvtMenXZTj0W0d7tN1SMM3HbHw8g6FTtQRcOXXNlGbJO7CG3wDJ88PuDq94UI29cdcXDC2CdHKnqrJyQ8A2Qh-FUOZdW1QjSr/s640/sesame4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Then it was Big Bird's turn!! He was a bit more difficult than the others because of his marshmallow beak, but he turned out super cute and colourful and who wouldn't love an extra marshmallowy treat on top of their cupcake :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And last but not least, one of the happiest monsters there is...Cookie Monster! We added on his googly eyes, some blue icing fur and of course, a cookie! He was a favourite and almost too cute to eat!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh5AYFcMUI2t4JIF8Fn3U_ATZ2RfTwofMOzbsVACEvPejf0rBOL7VUKfPl2vgRP81u76I4faBiYItoZNzbnF6mF0wgxNd_unPIETK-FItdUCOOXSnvkEHtR6NM-_uWRNEmWZEDQIuZHKBp/s1600/sesame5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh5AYFcMUI2t4JIF8Fn3U_ATZ2RfTwofMOzbsVACEvPejf0rBOL7VUKfPl2vgRP81u76I4faBiYItoZNzbnF6mF0wgxNd_unPIETK-FItdUCOOXSnvkEHtR6NM-_uWRNEmWZEDQIuZHKBp/s640/sesame5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Finally we created the bright and fun mini cupcakes to go along with these silly creatures.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Which is fine with us since there's usually extras for us to snack on afterwards... ;)<br />
<br />
First up was an order for some Christmas themed cupcakes for an annual Christmas party. We decided to do red velvet cupcakes with our delicious cream cheese icing. To go with the Christmas theme, we added a festive red stripe to the icing and topped them all off with some holly leaves and berries. We were thrilled with the way they turned out and can't wait to use this striped decorating technique on other themes throughout the year!<br />

Next up were some 50th birthday cupcakes. These were our famous carrot cake recipe with cream cheese icing and we decided on a gold theme to go with the holiday season! We made some gold ball lined stars with '50' on them, and finished off the decorations with some different sized gold dragees on top of the icing. We also made some mini cupcakes for a quick little bite :) We think they turned out glamorous and elegant and perfectly fitting for a 50th birthday bash!<br />

Next up was another fall wedding cake. For this cake, the bride decided to go in a different direction and chose a slab cake for her reception. This was a delicious carrot cake covered in cream cheese icing, a beautiful quote and some festive autumn edible leaves. Definitely a great alternative to the traditional tiered cake!</div>

As the wedding season winded down, the birthday season picked up! We had SO much fun coming up with ideas for these playful cakes. Many hours were spent building all of the fun details on all of the cakes, mostly because we kept coming up with more and more things we wanted to put on top! Here's a few of our themed birthday cakes that have kept us so busy the last few months!</div>

Time for Some Cookies!It's been a busy few months! So busy that we've REALLY been slacking on our blog! We have lots to update but we'll try not to pack it all into one post :)<br />
<br />
Today we think we'll start with cookies! We've had lots of cookie orders the last few weeks and had so much fun baking and icing all kinds of super cute sugar cookies.<br />
<br />
First up were some pretty teal and white cookies. These were a donation for a silent auction and because we had some leftover dough, we made some wintery mittens and Christmas ornaments as well!<br />

And last but not least were some bridal party cookies! These were made to give out to the bride's friends and family, to ask them to be in her wedding party! We thought this was a super cute and original way to ask the big question, and we loved how the dresses turned out. There was even a blue bow-tied dress for the soon to be bridesman ;)<br />

As we've mentioned, we looove making themed cakes, so we were in heaven with our projects the past few days! Both cakes below were lemon cakes with one layer of lemon curd and one layer of lemon buttercream. Think lemon meringue pie in cake form! Yum!!<br />
<br />
First up was a beach themed cake. The lucky recipients were being surprised with a big trip to celebrate their anniversary! So what better way to announce the generous gift then with a cake full of edible seashells, sandcastles, a lighthouse and some yummy sand! The whole cake is totally edible and we're in love with the pretty summery colour scheme! The sign on the front of the cake is a replica of the town's welcome sign. We hope the happy couple enjoys their cake, and their big trip!<br />
<br />

Next up was a retirement cake! Since this cake was for the patriarch of our Sugarbird family, we were pretty prepared for what he would enjoy during his retirement years! We started with a suitcase to celebrate his love of travel and to celebrate an upcoming trip. Next we added a camera to go with his love of photography and a set of bagpipes as he's become quite the piper in the past few years! And of course, we had to add the 'Honey Do' list. Which somehow has ended up in an edible garbage can ;). The camera and bagpipes are both made out of rice krispie treats and all of the other little details were made out of fondant/gumpaste. We were SO happy with the finished product, and even though it took a bit of convincing for him to cut into it, we're happy to say it tasted delicious as well! :)<br />

And last but not least, a small wedding cake with some pretty gumpaste flowers on top and an elegant damask style stencil design :). For this one the couple went with a carrot cake with cream cheese icing.</div>

Any excuse to be able to make fun little characters/decorations/creatures works for us. And we'll be the first to admit, sometimes it's too easy to get carried away making item after item to go on the cakes! There's just so many ideas that come out once we start creating things to go with the theme! This week there were two themed cakes on the books. One was a super fun handy-man/bicycle themed birthday cake, and the second was an outdoorsy/fishing retirement cake.<br />
<br />
First up was the birthday cake. We were told that the birthday boy was a handyman who loved cycling. So many directions to go in! We decided on a workbench shaped cake, complete with all the tools one would need to work on, what else, a bicycle! And of course, what workshop would be complete without a gumpaste box of band-aids!<br />

Next up was the retirement cake! We were told that the lucky retiree enjoyed the outdoors, nature and fishing. Luckily so do we! We took inspiration from numerous camping trips in the past and created some super cute trees, rocks, a fire pit, a tent, a pond, a fishing pole and of course, a happy little fish! This cake was done without fondant, so it's just covered in lots and lots of delicious cream cheese icing! Underneath is, of course, red velvet cake!<br />

Thanks for stopping by!! :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728318008356878612.post-83114321766966198812012-08-28T05:58:00.002-07:002012-08-28T05:58:37.815-07:00Busy, Busy, Busy!!I think the title sums up our weekend pretty well! lol. It was another double wedding weekend in the Sugarbird kitchen, which meant a few late nights but some very rewarding final products!!<br />
<br />
First up was classic 3-tiered wedding cake. This bride went a unique route however and decided to go with a pretty pink and elegant black colour palette. A pink wedding cake was a first for us but we LOVED how it turned out! After creating the bridal shower cake in the same style a couple of months ago, the bride loved it so much that she asked us to do her wedding cake using the same inspiration. We've include the bridal shower cake pic again to see how one style and colour scheme can inspire two different cakes :)<br />
<br />
First, the wedding cake!<br />
<br />

Next, the bridal shower cake we created that inspired the above design :)<br />

<br />
Then it was time for another wedding! This time the bride went the cupcake route and decided on red velvet with cream cheese icing, and banana with chocolate icing. We also created a mini cake for the top of the cupcake tower with a huge purple flower in full bloom. Pics of the display all put together on are on the way! But in the meantime, here are some of the delicious cupcakes with their yummy swirls of frosting.<br />
<br />
First is red velvet...<br />

First up, a 3-tiered flowery summer wedding cake. This bride chose three different flavours for her cake. The bottom tier was our classic vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream. Perfect for a warm summer day! The middle tier was our super popular red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. And the top tier (a special choice chosen just for the bride's father) was yummy chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream.<br />
<br />
After we got all three tiers baked, frosted and covered in a white fondant, it was on to the flowers :). For this cake the bride chose a royal blue and a baby blue for her colours. We made gerber daisies in several different sizes ready to go on the cake. Just like with all of our cakes, we sit and stare at the cake, trying out different placements for the flowers, moving things around, staring some more until we finally find a design we like, lol. We loved the finished product however! And after a bit of a stressful Saturday afternoon cottage-traffic drive to the reception, the cake was set up and ready to go :). Congrats to the happy couple!<br />

<br />
Next up was a last minute birthday cake! We decided on our delicious banana cake with cream cheese icing (not to mention one of our personal favourites when we're making cakes for our family and friends ;) ). We didn't have much to go on with this cake. In fact I think we just had "she likes orange and jewelry", lol. Luckily we love being able to put our own personal touches on cakes, so we decided on a peachy coloured cake with some elegant sugar lace, edible jewelry and some shiny rhinestone ribbon. The client was thrilled with the result, and so were we!<br />

Last, but most certainly not least, because we missed updating our blog last week, here are some wedding cupcakes that we created for some close friends. The happy couple chose lemon cupcakes with vanilla buttercream. We also added a delicious limoncello syrup to the cupcakes to make them extra moist and to give an extra kick of lemon flavour. <br />

Thanks for stopping by! :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728318008356878612.post-49117294079882703022012-08-13T15:11:00.001-07:002012-09-09T17:39:25.157-07:00Sugar Shoes and Jewelry!We had a super fun weekend full of all things sugar!! We were lucky enough to take an Edible Shoes and Jewelry course this past weekend at the fantastic specialty cake store, Flour Confections, put on by the amazingly talented Chuck and Wayne from Swank Cake Design. Not only did we come home with some super cute sugar shoes and edible jewelry, but we met some fantastic people and are now full of potential ideas that we want to test out!<br />
<br />
First up in the morning was the sugar jewelry. We created several pieces and then let our creativity flow, decorating them with gold, silver, dragees, glitter, etc! Looking at each piece, we can see exactly how we could incorporate them into potential cakes. We LOVED the way they turned out!<br />

<br />
Next up was the sugar shoes!! We learned how to create stunning black and silver stilettos that are not only beautiful, but are also totally life-size! How pretty would these be as part of a shoebox cake! Again, the creativity has already started flowing and we can't wait to try out the endless other possible shoe designs that we can make! From closed toe, wrap around, strappy, and the classic peep toe, we're going to have TONS of fun with these... :). We're guessing we're not going to be the only ones wishing we could wear these out on the town!<br />

As we start into August and the start of another busy wedding month, we thought we'd share a few more of our past wedding cakes that we loved.<br />
<br />
First up was a beautiful white and gold wedding cake with a pair of sentimental gold bells for the wedding couple. This was one of our favourite cakes to make and we love the simple elegance of the finished product :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Next up is a classic black and white, 4-tiered cake that we made for an old hollywood-themed wedding. Sometimes simpler really is better for certain themes and this is a great example of how minimal decorations can still create a gorgeous wedding cake!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And finally, because summer was such a big baby shower season as well, here's an example of just one of the many baby shower cakes we created :). And not just one baby, but twins! We've also included some adorable little onesie cookies that we created for a baby announcement :). What better way to announce a new baby than with baked goods!<br />

We've had a good holiday the past few weeks, but we're definitely excited to get back into the kitchen and get ready for a wedding-filled August!!<br />
<br />

For our customers, we ALWAYS bake everything from scratch, but for home cooking, we LOVE trying out different versions of the classic cake mix cupcake. Today we tried one that we just had to share with everyone. It doesn't get much easier than this!! You wouldn't believe how moist the cream soda makes the cake. You really need to try it to believe it!<br />
<br />
Chocolate Cream Soda Cupcakes (or cake!) with Cookies and Cream Chocolate Frosting<br />
<br />
1 pkg chocolate fudge cake mix (plus all required ingredients to prepare cake)<br />
1 can cream soda<br />
1 cup sugar<br />
1 cup water<br />
1 can prepared chocolate frosting<br />
5 oreos, finely crushed<br />
24 full oreos<br />
<br />
Prepare chocolate cake mix according to directions. However, substitute cream soda for any water that the recipe calls for. Bake cake or cupcakes according to baking times on box. This recipe works best with jumbo cupcakes.<br />
<br />
In a saucepan, whisk sugar and water together until sugar is completely saturated. Without stirring, bring mixture just to a boil, then remove from heat. Let cool completely. Pour leftover cream soda into syrup. You can use as much or as little as you want depending on your tastes. This step is totally optional depending on how much of a cream soda taste you want.<br />
<br />
Brush syrup on top of cake/cupcakes. You can poke holes in cake with toothpicks to allow the syrup to soak into the cake.<br />
<br />
To prepare frosting, empty can of icing into a bowl. Add crushed oreos and blend on high until icing has whipped up. Pipe frosting onto cupcakes in whatever style you prefer. Top each cupcake with an oreo and enjoy!!<br />

Which meant we got to have fun with pretty pastels and cute little decorations :)<br />
<br />
First up was a Christening cake. The cake of choice was our most popular flavour, red velvet with cream cheese icing. For this cake with went with a 2-tiered damask style stenciled cake and were so happy with the way it turned out! We went with pretty pinks for the colours and finished it off with a message for the baby girl :)<br />
<br />

<br />
Next up was a baby shower cake! We had lots of fun with this cake making it twinkle and shine like the night sky :). Again we started with our red velvet cake with cream cheese icing. Then we covered it in sky blue fondant and added on some pretty stars and soft fluffy clouds. Next up was a tiny fondant baby, fast asleep under a cozy blue baby quilt. To finish off the cake, we made the stars glitter and sparkle! We loved the finished product and hope the soon-to-be-mommy loved it as well :)<br />

Finally, because we didn't get the blog updated last weekend, here are our previous two projects :). First up was a gorgeous and elegant purple bridal shower cake, complete with edible lace and beautiful ivory flowers.<br />

And last but not least, a super bright and cheerful 60th birthday cake. We went with a present shape with edible ribbon and chose fun summery colours for the birthday girl :).<br />

Oh My!It was another busy weekend at Sugarbird! Wedding season is in full swing and we were excited to to not only be making the wedding couple's cake pop favours, but also their cupcake wedding display! First stop, cake pops!<br />
<br />
These little guys are small, but actually take quite a bit of preparation. The end product is a perfect delicious little ball of cake on a stick! We started by creating a whole bunch of these little cake bites (205 to be exact!), then got to work dipping them in chocolate and covering them in decorations. We went with pink and white to match the wedding colour scheme.<br />

After they were all dipped, it was wrapping time! Every cake pop was wrapped in an individual bag and tied with a ribbon. Luckily for us we enlisted some help to give us a hand with the wrapping process! Then it was off to the reception where they were placed on each person's plate :)<br />

But it didn't end there! Also on the menu were 100 cupcakes, plus a small cake for the official cake cutting. The bride and groom chose apple cinnamon with maple cream cheese, vanilla with buttercream and banana with cream cheese icing for their cupcake flavours. And seeing as these are three of my favourite flavours, and we just happened to have leftovers, I wasn't complaining whatsoever ;)<br />
<br />
Again, we went with the pink and white colour scheme. After baking all of the cupcakes and covering with icing and decorations, they were ready to be packaged up and transported to the reception :)<br />

Finally it was time to set everything up! We organized all of the cupcakes on the gorgeous front table, and put our small cake on top, finishing it with a beautiful peony to complete the display. The finished product was a truly elegant pink and white cupcake tower and a fabulous alternative to a traditional wedding cake.<br />
