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!

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!

Super Mario!

Mario cake complete with cute mushrooms and Whomps:)

Hockey City

I'd say 90% of the people who live in Canada are hockey fans. It's our thing and we love playing it, watching it, what have you. Although the majority of Vancouverites are Canucks fans, there are the few who do like the Maple Leafs. With them making a comeback in the recent years, this cake is for one such fan.

Russian Bird's Milk Cake

I got a request a while back for a Russian Bird's Milk cake. I had never heard of this cake before so I had to do a bit of research on it. I found a few recipes on it and it based on the Russian Bird's milk candy which is a chocolate covered marshmallow candy. Most of the cakes called for a sponge on the bottom, topped with a marshmallow made with either condensed milk or sour cream. I chose the condensed milk version with a joconde sponge. The birthday girl also really liked mangoes and her other choice was a napolean type cake so I thought I'd combine them into one cake and give it some texture with an almond feuilletine base and fresh mangoes inside. A super shiny dark chocolate glaze on top swirled with some purple glaze and topped off with chantilly and chocolate flowers and curls made it extra special. I was worried because I had never had the cake before so I wasn't quite sure what I was aiming for or if I was doing it correctly but my worries were eased when I was told that I made all the Russians at the table proud with my cake:)

Lovebirds in Fuschia

This wonderful cake was created for my friend who had a white and fuschia wedding. The lovebirds at the top were made from gumpaste and adorned with a tiny bowtie and top hat for the groom, and lovely lace veil for the bride. Cascades of vintage buttons, flowers, and ruffles made this cake elegant but still a bit whimsical.

Baby shower!

These adorable baby cookies are part of the wonderful baby shower Georgia was hosting. They weren't sure of the gender so we decided on a neutral yellow and green. The baby bum is super cute as well!

Banana Cream Cake

This cake was for a client who's father loved Banana Cream Pies. I decided to emulate that in a cake using puff pastry as the "pie shell" crunch, some banana infused custard, and caramelized bananas. Sandwiched with chantilly cream and a moist vanilla buttermilk cake, this cake definitely is out of the box and stands out with the bright yellow chocolate decorations. I was even able to find mini bananas to decorate with. I love all things mini:)

Simply Wonderful Wedding

This recent wedding cake was especially dear to me because it was for a friend of mine. Being able to be a part of her special day was amazing and I was really happy to be able to lend a hand with the wedding cake. They wanted a nice simple design with just some fresh flowers matching her bouquet. The flavor was well suited for the wonderful summer weather; a nice lemon cake with lemon curd and raspberry jam. Light and flavorful.

Veggie Tales!

A Veggie Tales inspired cake for a 1 year old. The little peas are probably my favorite. Inside was a  vanilla buttermilk cake with vanilla buttercream, strawberry jam, and fresh strawberries.

Flowers

This small tiered cake was for a beautiful wedding that was happening on the Sunshine Coast. A simple design with pretty gum paste flowers decorating it dusted with lustre so that it would catch the light.

Ombre ruffles

This was my first ruffle cake and I'm pretty happy with the results. It was a lot of work though. First off, coloring all the hues of fondant and then frilling all the edges of the ribbons. This is a definitive princess girly cake. All the ruffles and fading pinks and purples with the pinky ivory flowers would be a fairy princess' dream come true.

Lace and Flowers

Pretty pink flowers adorning an intricately piped chocolate lace design. It fit well with the venue which was decked out in beautiful red and rose hues.
