Beatles Birthday Cake!

Once again, my dad's Birthday rolled around but this time, I knew exactly what I wanted to do for his special cake!

I've already made motorcycle, barbecue and magic themed creations for his Birthdays and Father's Day. This time, I would tackle another one of my dad's interests - The Beatles!

Here was his Yellow Submarine Birthday cake!







He absolutely loved his Beatles cake! Not to mention it was cookies'n'cream cake with cookies'n'cream frosting! YUM!

I'm slowly running out of ideas now that I've made 4 special (cup)cake designs! It's a good thing Birthdays only come once a year! :P

Engagement Sugar Cookies!

I can't even tell you how long I've been waiting for the opportunity to branch out into sugar cookies!!

When my mom's friend's niece got engaged (hard to follow, I know!), she wanted to send something sweet to the newly engaged couple to help celebrate such a special occasion! She wasn't sure what exactly she wanted to send, so that's when I seized the opportunity and suggested sugar cookies! Once she gave me the green light, I went crazy with ideas!

Here's the final product!





I had SO much fun putting these adorable cookies together, especially all of the little details (the best part!)!

My mom's friend absolutely loved them when she saw them, and I'm sure the happy couple did too!

Finally, a time for sugar cookies!! :)

Pretty, Pretty Cuppies!

I was asked to make some cupcakes in honour of TWO 50th Birthdays - a husband and a wife!

Such a special occasion calls for equally special cupcakes!

Here they are!







These batch of beauties became an instant fave of mine! Classy and understated - perfect for any special celebration!

Hello Kitty Cupcakes!

When I was asked to make Hello Kitty cupcakes for a little girl's 5th Birthday, I was both excited and nervous! I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for a Hello Kitty order to come along, but at the same time, her little precious face is so simple, yet so easy to mess up! If her features aren't just right, she will NOT be Hello Kitty anymore!!

Here's my rendition of HK in cupcake form!







Silver lined cupcakes topped with light pink frosting, sprinkled with bright pink sugar and topped with Hello Kitty faces made the perfect sweet treat for a little girls' big day!

I was so happy that the faces turned out well and I was even happier with how adorable these cupcakes looked once they were all put together!

Another cake success! :)

Scrabble Cake and Boxers Cake!

When a Scrabble fanatic sells boxers for a living, THESE are the cakes he receives in honour of his Birthday!





Both cakes were a blast to make, although you can imagine how time consuming the Scrabble cake was!

All in all, there's no better (or funnier!) way to celebrate a boxer-selling-Scrabble-addict's birthday!!

Purple Stripes and Flower Cake!

Lately I've been super busy at work and so I haven't really had time for any cake orders.

With my boyfriend's grandmother's Birthday coming up, I knew I wanted to get back into the swing of things and make something beautiful for their family to enjoy on the special day!

Here it is!





I covered the cake in white fondant and instead of cutting out purple stripes, I indented the stripes onto the actual fondant (with horizontal stripes IN the stripes!), and brushed them with purple powder. I topped the cake off with a beautiful matching purple flower, and finished it with a gold rope and bow!

Everyone loved the cake!! Besides looking good, the cake also tasted good! Chocolate cake with cookies 'n' cream frosting - what's NOT to love??

Neuro Cupcakes: Ante Up!

After the success of the neurology cupcakes I made for my boyfriend and his friends, the word just doesn't stop spreading about these delish little treats!

Another doctor in the hospital asked me to make a dozen cupcakes for her husband, who happens to be a neurosurgeon! So I took the initial neuro cupcakes and upped the ante by adding brains and the surgical necessities - scrubs and a mask!

Here they are!



These adorable and scrumptious cuppies were such a hit! Well really, what's not to love??

...well I guess eating a brain...

70's Stoner Cake!

This next cake was definitely an interesting one...

I was asked to make a marijuana/joint themed cake! At first I was taken aback, but after some thought, I was up for a quirky challenge such as this one!

The result was this hippie-esque cake:







From hints of tie-dye to 70's-inspired happy faces and peace signs, this cake was fit for any ganja queen!

And just to let you know, the decorations on top are NOT telling of the ingredients used to make this cake! (Red Velvet all the way!!)

Baptism Cupcakes!

I made these adorable teddy bear and initial cupcakes for a baby boy's baptism!







The silver teddy bears and gold initials looked great with the dusted blue plaques!

The perfect delicious treat to help celebrate such a special occasion! :)

Workout Cake!

When I was asked to make a workout cake, I knew exactly what to do! Since I made a workout cake last summer, I knew right away what this cake needed to look like!

Here it is!








Everyone, including the birthday boy, looooved the cake!! It was the perfect treat for a special celebration!

Knitting Cupcakes!

After the success of the knitting cake and cupcakes at the yarn store's anniversary party, one of their customers wanted a new set of knitting cuppies to share with her friends at a knitting get together!

Here they are!







The ladies looooved the cupcakes!! Really, what's not to love?!

The perfect addition to any knitting party!

Big Red Flower Cake!

Coming up with an idea AND hiding it from my mom can be pretty tricky! But when her birthday rolled around, I wanted to make something really beautiful, something that POPPED! It took a few days of her avoiding the kitchen, but in the end, I was able to surprise her (with the design, that is!)!

Here it is!!







She absolutely LOVED her birthday cake!! It was the perfect cake to help celebrate! :)

25th Anniversary Cake!

When I was asked to make a 25th wedding anniversary cake, I knew one thing for sure, we'd HAVE to have some silver elements! When they told me they wanted the other colours to be blue and brown, I was very excited! I knew it would look great! Mix in a flower and some different motifs, and you've got yourself one impressive celebration cake!







Now you're ready to celebrate!

40th Anniversary Cake!

I LOVE doing anniversary cakes! To be able to play a small role in something so special means a lot to me! And this anniversary cake was no exception!

We did a black and white striped cake, with 4 red roses on top - each one representing a decade of marriage. And of course, the traditional 40th wedding anniversary gift is a ruby, so we had to go with red (not to mention it looked awesome!)!

Here it is!





And here it is at the party, looking great and matching beautifully (and with slicing equipment nearby!)!



The cake was a success and everyone loved it - which may in fact make me happier than the anniversary couple themselves! :)

Spiderman Cake!

When I was asked to make a Spiderman cake for a 6 year old boy, I was super excited!! I haven't really done that many cakes for boys and when I do, it's usually sports! So I was happy to be able to try something new and different!

Here it is!







I put Spiderman's face on top, with buildings all around, and a 6 in front!!

Everyone loved the cake, especially the birthday boy, which of course, is the most important part! :)

Knitting Cake!

My mom is an avid knitter and when her favourite yarn store was having their 1st year anniversary, they knew they wanted something sweet to help celebrate!

What better way than with a cake?

I made this cake and a dozen matching cupcakes to resemble the store's logo











The cake and cupcakes were a huge success!!

Shirt & Tie Cake!

What do you get when you mix a custom cake with a co-worker who a) ALWAYS wears a tie, b) loves the Habs and c) is leaving for a new job?

Answer:



No farewell is complete without a yummy cake and this thoughtful and specially designed cake was the perfect send-off!

Christmas in June Cake!

At the end of every school year, my friend's mom and her co-workers have a themed luncheon. Last year was the picnic theme! This year's theme? Christmas in June!







We have a summery blue sky and grass, a santa sun, palm tree with Christmas lights, and of course presents!

That's what EVERY Christmas should look like! :P

Rose Cake!

Family birthday's are always extra special to me! I love being able to give the gift of cake to help celebrate!

With our cousin's birthday coming up, it was the perfect occasion to get creative and have some cake fun!





I had so much fun making the flowers! And the best part of all is that the Birthday girl (and all of the party guests too!) absolutely LOVED the cake!

Another success! :)
