Catching up!

It's been a couple of months since I posted new cake photos so today I decided to play catch up and include a few celebration cakes that I created before the hot summer weather arrived. Lots of fun designs, delicious flavours and special occasions!!

 It was a candy lover's dream come true for Madison's birthday! This two-tiered cake combined fun, bright colours, real candy and sugarpaste lollipops in a festive design for a special celebration.

This Hollywood-inspired birthday cake was all sparkle and shimmer, including a 2D movie camera, clapboard and theatre marquee featuring the birthday girl's name. A red carpet, silver stars topper and film strip border added the final touches.

An elegant baptism cake, complete with quilting, sugar flowers, butterflies, a sugarpaste cross and pearls, marked this special occasion. Inside was a delicious tropical coconut cake with layers of pineapple curd and pineapple buttercream.

I had a lot of fun creating this vintage record player, covered in delicious chocolate fondant with edible details made from sugarpaste. There was even more chocolate inside - rich chocolate cake with layers of milk chocolate buttercream!

It was Star Wars and superheros all wrapped up in one for Ben's 5th birthday cake. Superhero logos surrounded the sides of the cake while edible, hand-detailed 2D versions of Yoda and R2D2 adorned the top.

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.

Guitar cake

This acoustic guitar-themed cake is completely edible, including the sugarpaste guitar, sheet music and musical staff.

Spell-binding birthday cake

A special birthday cake for twins! This Wizards of Waverly Place book of spells is entirely edible, including the hand-drawn logo and wands. Vanilla cake is layered with chocolate cream cheese buttercream in this magical confection.
