Well this is a bit late in getting up, but better late than never, right?
A family of snowpeople celebrate Christmas.
This cake looked much better in person than it does in photos. You can’t see how the snow sparkled, but anyway I still like it. This was vanilla cake with white chocolate buttercream filling and frosting, and would serve around 15-20. Happy (belated) holidays everyone!
Hi Everyone!
Well it has certainly been too long since I’ve updated the site. Partly to blame is the very busy holiday season, and very busy back-to-work period. I do have many (many!) new cakes to add to the site as I get a chance. In the meantime, I have created a Facebook page. Please check it out and if you’re on Facebook, become a fan. The link is:

I am looking forward to “seeing” more of you who are regulars to the page, and being able to interact with you more easily. A Twitter account is yet to come.
Cheers!

White and Silver Wedding Cake with Roses
This is a very simple white wedding cake with silver ribbon that I made recently. The bride was providing her own roses, and as I was not present to get pictures of it…in order to show you what it may have looked like, I confess, I photoshopped on the roses.
The cake inside was vanilla with vanilla buttercream filling, and it is covered in white fondant, with silver ribbon around each tier. This cake could easily be made any colour of the rainbow, or jazzed up in any of 100 ways, simply by changing the ribbon or say, the colour of the roses:
Wedding Cake with Yellow Roses
A simple cake like this, with a topper of fresh or gumpaste flowers, is the perfect cake for the budget-conscious bride.
This cake was one of the most fun cakes to make that I’ve done so far. I loved making wee clothes and things out of fondant. There’s a lot going on on this one, but let’s give you the top view first:
Around the sides of this cake, baby’s laundry is hanging, and a few toys and things are here too including his teddy:

This was a birthday cake for a lad who loves the Calgary Flames. The puck cake is vanilla bean with vanilla bean filling, covered with fondant and with a fonant/royal icing logo on top.
