Did you know January is Hot Tea Month? When it’s snowing and blowing outside, there’s nothing like a hot cuppa to warm up – especially when it’s made of cake. My husband is British, so we drink a lot of tea in this house. It’s not usually like this, though! This cake was requested for a… Read More
Everyone loves a good steak. If you’re craving something that looks meaty and but tastes sweet, this cake should hit the spot! This nice, juicy t-bone is actually a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream. It’s covered in a blend of fondant and modelling chocolate and hand-painted to give it that char-grilled look and texture. The… Read More
One of the pleasures of designing cakes is that I get to hear about all sorts of fun kids’ shows that I would otherwise know nothing about. A recent example is this cake, based on the show Peg + Cat. That’s Peg there on the side, and the blue fella dangling from the balloon is her cat. They… Read More
Meet Fido. Fido is a unicorn. Fido is a cake. Fido is a super awesome unicorn cake! He’s very happy to be an edible unicorn. You can tell by his toothy grin. Like all unicorns, he is made of sunshine and magic (and cake – lots of cake). And, also like all unicorns, he poops… Read More
Go Habs go! As a proud Toronto resident and a long-suffering Leafs fan, I’m just happy to see Canadian teams in the playoffs. At the moment, I’m glad to see the Canadiens! As I write this post, I’ve got the Montreal-Tampa Bay Game 1 on in the background, and they just tied it up. Woot!… Read More
No princes or princesses here; these cupcakes were for a different sort of Royal birthday! Yep, that’s right – you probably recognized Arbie, the mascot of Royal Bank! I think he’s the tallest single cupcake topper I’ve ever made, but he was just too fine a fellow to fit into a smaller size. The other cupcake… Read More
It’s a bit of a strange title for a blog post, I know, but I just wasn’t sure what else to call this cake! Whatever you call it, it was quite the cake, for quite the wonderful retiree. I was told that the guest of honour has some awesome plans for her retirement. Among these, she… Read More
I made this cake for a farewell party at a company. The guest of honour is a big fan of cheese, in all its forms. They’d considered just serving big wheels of actual cheese, but since everyone also loves cake, we came up with this idea – a cake that LOOKS like cheese! The top tier… Read More
Happy New Year, everyone! It’s been a while since I posted, but I’ve certainly been busy (both with making cakes and with the general holiday chaos!). Now that things have returned to normal (whatever that is…), I thought I’d get back to sharing my tasty treats with you. Today’s share is this cute fox cake… Read More
As the snow starts to fly and holiday lights start to twinkle, I thought I would share a special cake with all of you. It’s a braaaaaaaain! Um…what? Wrong holiday, you say? Don’t worry, I know Halloween is over. But this wasn’t a Halloween cake, this was for an eight-year-old girl’s birthday party. Every little girl dreams… Read More
