Old Macdonald...Had a Farm Cake

Another cute farm themed cake for a lucky boy's birthday. Pigs, cows, and ducks adorn this chocolate cake filled with salted caramel buttercream! Yum! The barn lifts off as an individual cake for the birthday boy as well to make it all the more special!

Every Kid likes Lego

This adorable Lego head cake was for a child's 7th birthday. Lemon sponge with vanilla buttercream, it brings out the kid in all of us:)

Beer and Soccer for a Cake

A Chelsea soccer fan who loves his Bud Light got a good birthday wish with this vanilla cake layered with a delicious matcha buttercream!

Peony Cake

This pretty cake was for a twin sister birthday. Purple being their favourite color, I decided on a marbled background with ethereal looking peonies and azaleas. One for each of them to keep.

Happy Valentines day!

Cinnamon and vanilla shortbread cookies with a heartfelt message on it:

 The classic chocolate dipped strawberry, this time in a dark 70% chocolate:

Mini cupcakes for your sweetheart:

And all the packaging:

It's a Circus out there!

This colourful cake was for a one-year old's birthday. Cute circus theme with the bottom tier being a lemon sponge with raspberry jam and vanilla buttercream, and the top tier being red velvet.

Banana Peanut and Chocolate

This domed entremet consists of a peanut butter chocolate mousse encasing caramelized bananas, banana sponge, and peanut feuilletine. I decorated it with candied peanuts, banana chips, and butter toasted banana bread.

Mango Gianduja Entremet

This was a cake recipe I tried from the Bachour book. The recipes turned out great! I ended up doubling the recipe for the gianduja mousse though. The base is a dacquoise (I omitted the chocolate), gianduja mousse, a hazelnut praline layer, and mango cremeux. Mango fluid gel to dot the top and chocolate plaques to decorate!

Minions!

Those Despicable Me Minions have been quite popular this year with everyone collecting the toys and now  cakes! Two birthday, two minions, one with a banana, and the other with a personal sized birthday cake!
