Sugarbird Sweets and Cakery

Talk about a mish-mash title for this post! 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! 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 :) Next up, we switched gears from beer...to...

This was definitely one of our favourite cakes that we've done so far. We received an order for a 60th anniversary cake and what could be more perfect for an anniversary than a bottle of champagne! We started with our delicious carrot cake with cream cheese icing and sculpted the box, and then the bottle out of cake. We then created some wood sides for the box out of fondant, giving it an authentic wood grain look :). We airbrushed the bottle with edible colour to give it a realistic shiny glass look. We created a label for the bottle, some straw for the box and of course, some sugar champagne glasses (complete with some edible diamonds...it is the diamond anniversary after all!). The finishing touch, and our favourite part, a big bunch of fondant grapes resting against the box. We're so happy with the way this cake came together and hope the happy couple was just as thrilled :) Make sure to check us out on Facebook! www.facebook.com/sugarbirdcakery
