Fun with Themes!

You all know how much we LOVE themed cakes (and cookies, and cupcakes) so the last few weeks have been a blast! 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!

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!


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!


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 :)



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! :)


We'll be taking a bit of break this upcoming weekend but look for another blog post shortly with some upcoming cupcakes and cake pops!

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...
