Flower Power!

Tonight I made a birthday cake for the daughter of a lady my mom works with. She was very easy going on what she wanted. Basically, chocolate and flowers. Easy peasy! This is what I came up with:


The 10" cake is devils' food, with chocolate buttercream icing, covered in fondant. The cupcakes are chocolate, with chocolate mousse filling, buttercream icing swirl and a royal icing flower on top.

Hope the birthday girl likes it!!

Happy 7th Birthday Erica!

Finally! We celebrated Erica's birthday last weekend, and her request was for a white & black zebra striped cake with orange polka dots. She loved it! The cake was vanilla with a vanilla pudding filling, then covered in fondant. It was pretty fun to make for such a simple design.



Happy Birthday Erica!! Have fun being 7!!

Canada Day & surprise cake

First came the surprise birthday cake. Little background on this; I absolutely HATE when people get let down on their bdays. I've had it happen numerous times, so I really know how it feels to have people either a)forget your bday or b) not show up to your party. In this case it was option A. My art booth buddy next to our cart at St Vital was pretty upset last week that no one, even her family remembered her bday (except for her most recent ex) and she was pretty upset about it. So the next day (cuz I didn't have a clue until 9 that night, and it was a little late to do an ything about it) I brought her a cake to cheer her up and hopefully redeem some portion of her bday.


Then, came the Canada Day cupcakes. Basically Kevin & I pigged out on the cupcakes cuz no one else showed up. Sorry you missed it!!
