We had SO much fun with our two cakes this weekend! 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!!
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!
The front!
And the back of the cake!
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! :)
The Honey Do List! :P

And finally, because we got busy last weekend and couldn't update our blog, here's our cakes from a few days ago! :)
First, a fun 60th birthday cake! This was a vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream!
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.
Until next week! :). Thanks for dropping by!Be sure to check us out on facebook at www.facebook.com/sugarbirdcakery, on Twitter @sugarbirdcakery and on Pinterest at www.pinterest.com/sugarbirdcakery
