Four Celebrations and a Wedding

Birthday cakes for men always pose a problem, we want to make them exciting and creative, but sometimes it`s not as easy as it sounds!  This time we were asked to make a country/guitar themed cake for an out door birthday party.  We came up with this guitar cake which we are told was a huge hit at the party. 

For an intimate wedding often not very much cake is required but it's still fun to have a cake that fulfills all the criteria for an elegant and stylish wedding cake that fits in with the theme of the day.  This bride chose blush and gold for this timeless cake and we added the couples initials "S" and a little pink heart which appeared on their wedding invitation. 

We don't often make cakes with a Disney theme (for copyright reasons which we have blogged about in the past).  What we are allowed to do is to take ready made copyrighted items and put them onto a matching cake.  Above is an example of that.  Dressed up with dots and bows, this makes such a cute cake for a little girl or even a grown up princess!

A hand painted cake for Mother's Day.  Imagine this Mom's surprise when she walked in to our tea room on Mother's Day to find this cake waiting for her along with a delicious high tea.

Miniature cakes are often ideal for a small celebration of less than 4 people, or something at the last minute when there isn't time to order a fully custom designed cake.  This little cake was made for a little boys first birthday when he was going to be dressed as a strawberry for a photo shoot because his favourite food is strawberries!

Pink and Purple Week

This week we had lots of pink and purple cakes, oh so pretty looking around and seeing them all in a group.  Here are just a few of this weeks cakes:

Big purple bow for a birthday cake,  topped off with a big sparkly brooch.

Here`s one for a little girl who likes Minnie.  A first birthday is always a big deal so lots of friends and a pretty cake is always every little girls dream. 

And here is the cake, and Sophia, in all it`s glory!

Confirmation cake at Marquis Gardens Ancaster in pink and gold with tiny blossoms.  This was served with 50 matching cupcakes with pink icing and gold `cherries`on top to finish the look.  Oh so pretty!

Tinkerbell Birthday Cake

We are not allowed to make licensed character cakes, but if you are familiar with our work you will know that we do often incorporate ready made licensed figurines into our cakes.  Here is a great example of that. 

We hand painted the cake with vines and rosebuds, then we added twinkle to Tinkerbell's wings as well ass assorted sugar flowers and glittered butterflies.

Congratulations On Your Graduation!

With a black and pink colour scheme a donkey and a graduation cap, here is what we came up with!

This fun and striking cake was well received!

Eyore by Louise Howling

"Thank you. Lynne for the lovely Eyore Graduation cake!   Our daughter Chelsea was so thrilled and loved it so much.  It was admired by all and it was the "talk" of the afternoon.  It also tasted as good as it looked!  Thank you for your attention to detail and for creating yet another unique masterpiece!

I will forward a picture of Chelsea standing alongside it...she is wearing a matching black and pink polka-dotted dress to match the bow on the cake!

Thank you again!

Carole and Tony"

Jasmine Themed Birthday Cake

Sometimes we have such a lot of fun with a theme and have the enormous pleasure of meeting the person for whom the cake was designed such as in this case.  

Giselle was turning four and at the last minute a Jasmine cake was ordered for her.  Giselle came for the collection all dressed up in her Jasmine costume, much to our delight.

Although the car was double parked outside we quickly opened the box and hoisted "Jasmine" onto the nearest chair so that we could show her next to her lovely cake.

Snow White

This Snow White cake was made for Dierdra who celebrated her 3rd birthday this week.

Dierdra loves anything Snow White and as licensing laws prevent us from using unofficial Disney characters, we put the 'real thing' onto this little birthday cake.
