Pink Lady Bug 1st Birthday Cake

 

There is nothing more satisfying than having a cake turn out exactly as I wanted it to.

With that said I love, love, love how this cake turned out! I was asked to make a Pink Lady Bug Cake for a friends daughters first birthday.

 

The cake is an 8" vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream filling and covered in pure white buttercream.

 

All accents are made from fondant

 



 

 

 I can't even decide which part of this cake is my favorite. I think everything from the bow, to the curls to the lady bugs!

 

I hope the birthday girl has a wonderful first birthday!!

Double Chocolate Cake - Extremely Chocolaty Birthday Cake YUM

It was my husbands 29th Birthday yesterday and he has become a cake monster the past few months. So the kids and I decided to make him an extremely chocolaty  birthday cake. I mean this thing was a chocolate cake filled with the best chocolate filling, covered in chocolate buttercream and smothered in hand curled milk and white chocolate. This cake is a chocolate lovers delight!

AND can I just say it was delicious...I must admit it went very well with my morning coffee HAHA

 

 

Blue Jays Cupcakes for a 30th Birthday

Who doesn't love a good baseball game...or a good baseball team for that matter!!
I was asked to make some cupcakes for a 30th birthday with the Toronto Blue Jays as the theme
These cupcakes were very fun to make!  All cupcakes are chocolate with vanilla icing. All fondant decorations are edible.

 

All of the logo's were hand cut and hand painted...it took me a few times to get them right lol AND I have NEVER been good at drawing Maple leafs...ever!

Flying Unicorn Cake - Pegasus Cake

I love that I get to be apart of friends and family's birthdays year after year. Seeing kids faces when they see their cake is the BEST part of doing this.

Last year I made a horse themed cake for Addison's birthday. This year she graduated to flying unicorns otherwise known as a Pegasus.

It was also requested that the inside of the cake be rainbow. Rainbows and flying unicorns kind of go hand in hand in my opinion and I have been wanting to try doing a rainbow cake in one pan for awhile.
I could have baked each colour individually but that seemed very time consuming lol. One day I WILL do a total rainbow cake but for our purposes doing it all in one pan seemed to fit the bill

All the beautiful colours before they made it into the pan

 

Rainbow caked baked and torted...didn't turn out too bad

Cake is covered in fondant. The Pegasus'  were hand cut which took some time and just about all of my patience lol.

The bottom of the cake is hand painted to make it look like a meadow with flower accents.

 

Top of the cake reminds me of a riding medal :)

 

Hope you had a great birthday Addison!!

2013 Charger Cake Car

I was asked to make a small birthday cake for a family friend awhile ago. He owns a 2013 Charger so I based the design from that :)
6" lemon cake with strawberry filling, car is made from rice krispies and covered in fondant. Best part is it is 100% edible!!

The Lorax Cake

This cake was VERY last minute but I L.O.V.E the way it turned out!! What kid...or adult for that matter, doesn't like The Lorax?? So when I was asked to make a cake with The Lorax theme I was very excited!!

 

The 8" cake is my homemade rainbow chip recipe with chocolate filling. Every decoration on this cake was hand cut except the cloud. Other than that I cut every piece by hand and hand painted the details on.

 

 

The Lorax figurine was very fun to make. He is 100% made from fondant and 100% edible!

 

 

The name was hand cut as well....I was going for the Dr. Seuss feel so I thought red with the black trim out work best.

 

 The bear is also fondant as are the Truffula trees.

 

 The Truffula tress on the top of the cake are actually cake pops which I thought was so cool and worked so well with this theme!

 

 

Doesn't this just make you want to go watch The Lorax now...'Let it grow, let it grow, like it did so long ago...'
