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!

Busy Week, Lots of Cakes!

This cake was for a little girl celebrating her birthday at a pottery painting studio.  The client chose a painting themed cake and we were happy that at the last minute we were able to help.

Two cakes fit for a princesses first birthday.  The top cake, two tiered with a tiara was for the guests to eat and the birthday girl had a royal cake all to herself.

This cake was made for a client who completely designed her own cake for this happy couple's ninth anniversary celebration.

A horse riding birthday party for Sophia so we put a little prancing pony on her cake!

A shabby chic wedding cake trio, such soft, pretty blush pink offset with gold hand painted filigree.

30th birthday celebration for Ashley, topped off with a blue crown keepsake.

Tiny wedding cakes are always fun to do, this one was no exception.  Hand painted vines complimented the pale pink sugar roses and off white fondant to make a very soft, summery wedding cake.

Birthdays

A giant cupcake to wish Sarah a happy birthday.  The client chose a pink velvet cake with a blackberry buttercream for the top.  We finished the cake with little sugar flowers and one great big cherry on top!

Stephanie, the birthday girl, loves shabby chic, lots of pink and girly things and of course flowers.  We designed this pretty pink cake with a garden feel to match the garden party that she was having with her friends.  Of course a pale pink vanilla cake inside with a raspberry buttercream made this cake as delicious as it was pretty.

A Few Cakes From This Week

A sweet sixteen cake all in pink and grey for this very special occasion!

A little birthday cake with a big blue bow.

For a travel themed wedding shower we made these two antique hat boxes with travel stamps all over it and finished with gold painted details to add shine and interest to this lovely cake.

Ah, for a body building enthusiast what do you make?  A cake with weights on the top and names of muscles to develop all the way around.  Even body builders eat cake son their birthday don't they Brian?

Needlework

This cake was made for a client whose wife is a seamstress and dress designer.  He wanated something that reflected the colours and texture of fabric that his wife works with every day and loves so much.  We made this two tiered cake with fabric (made of sugar of course) textured like lace.  We added stitching, zippers and buttons which told a story as you went around the cake.  We topped it all of with frangipini flowers which are the birthday girl's favourite flowers.

Starry Night - VanGogh Did It First

First of all there was this "Starry Night" cake that was taken from a VanGogh painting especially for someone who loves VanGogh.  It was a tough assignment but we are rather proud of the end result.
