First Communion weekend

Two very pretty but very different cakes were part of recent First Communion celebrations. The first is similar to a design I did in the past. The three-tiered pink and white cake features edible blossoms, butterflies and sugar pearls and is topped with a crystal and silk butterfly topper. Flavour is vanilla sprinkle with vanilla buttercream filling.

The next First Communion cake is also three tiered in bright pink and lime green with glittering white butterflies and blossoms as accents. A dazzling letter B and silk butterflies decorate the top of the cake and a decorative edible cross sits on the middle tier. A sugarpaste model of the First Communion girl includes her white dress, tiara and veil. Flavours are chocolate cake with cookies and cream buttercream filling, and raspberry ruffle cake.

Legend of Zelda cake

This cake was a family affair! My two sons helped to model the Zelda-themed details for a special birthday cake for a friend. Since I know nothing about the Zelda game, I needed all the help I could get!

The top tier is marbled fondant surrounded by Grecian pillars, sage medallions and features the master sword as the topper. Flavour is chocolate cake with peanut butter cup buttercream filling. The ocean-influenced bottom tier features an edible Link, bombs, ocarina, boomerang and pearls. Flavour is vanilla cake with caramel buttercream and a caramel drizzle between each layer.

Yee haw! Carter is 1!

This fun 1st birthday cake combines great colours and a fun theme! Carter's cowboy cake includes a decorative sugarpaste topper featuring a cowboy hat, sheriff's badge, rope, bolo and bandana. Inside is lemon cake with raspberry buttercream filling.

Ringette celebration!

Based on a basketball-themed cake design, this slab-style cake celebrates a great ringette season with the team  jersey, including edible hand-drawn logo, ring and a spray of stars.
