Cake Catch Up!

It's cake time! Last post we shared the cookies that we've worked on the past few months, now it's time for lots and lots of cakes! We've definitely been keeping busy with all kinds pretty, funny, cute and of course, yummy cakes! Here's a sample of some of the projects we've been working on...

First up, a colourful cupcake tower and elegant mini cake, complete with some adorable penguins! This was for a fall wedding and we loved all of the fun colours and flavours that went into this display.



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!


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!

First up, a super cute camouflage themed first birthday cake.



Next, a Gotham City inspired Batman cake!


This was a fun one. A beer keg and soccer ball cake!


And finally, an 80's themed cake! We had so much fun coming up with ideas for this one!


Stay tuned for a festive Christmas post coming up, full of cupcakes, cookies and of course...cakes!

Tinkerbell and Baby Showers!

We've said it before, but we LOVE making treats for children's parties! 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! 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! Our ...

Retirements and Birthdays!

Happy Sunday everyone! 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 :). 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 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 represen...

Playing Catch-up!

Yikes! 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! 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 :) 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 :). This first cake was a beau...
