What A Life!

This cake was designed as a 75th birthday cake for a very accomplished gentleman.

Business man, musician, author, sportsman, Sicilian, opera lover, teacher and so much more, this cake celebrates the life of a great man.

The cake looks fairly small here doesn't it?  In real life, it was HUGE.

Sweet Cherries - Ancaster Old Mill

A very unusual wedding cake celebrating the season and the beautiful cherries that are coming into our stores here in Ontario.  This cake was covered in almond paste/marzipan which is tastier than fondant but gives a beautiful golden finish.

All the cherries were also made of marzipan and were hand painted.

Watercolour Apples For Rhoda Katz

Rhoda Katz is a local watercolour artist and celebrating her birthday this weekend.  Her husband came in with a tiny slide of one of her paintings as inspiration for this little cake.  He wanted apples on the cake with some flowers, something like a still life.

After the cake left I Googled Rhoda Katz and found this painting of hers (not the same one as the slide I saw) and now I know why he wanted apples.
