Fall Bridal Shower

For a bridal shower with a fall theme and colours gold, brown, ivory and green.  We used a large chocolate bow and some cheerful sunflowers to kick off a very autumnal look.

Swirls and Whirls

Another baby shower cake, this time in chocolate brown with Tiffany blue swirls and a white orchid.

Retro Birthday

A client called and said "I want a chocolate cake, all chocolate, nothing but chocolate for tomorrow.  I don't care about the design, it's for a guy and write Happy Birthday Clinton on the top".

Not knowing anything about Clinton, not even his age nor interests, we decided to create a retro cake, like one of those that you find in supermarket fridges as a sort of tribute to a black forest.  Inside, everything was chocolate!

First Birthday

A cute little chocolate and pink first birthday cake.  All chocolate and chocolate fudge inside with lots of pink bling.....so girly for this little girls party.

Drum Cake

"Johnny O" is a drummer and upon hitting the bit 5-0 his wife ordered a drum cake to mark the occasion.

A banana and chocolate chip cake was filled with buttercream and made to look like a drum with the silver details being hand painted and a hand painted matching nacre finish on the body of the drum to match his real drum.

The drumsticks on the top were made entirely from modelling chocolate that was mixed to look like wood.

It's such fun working with cake!

A Small Wedding

My first Monday wedding!  Who knew?

The colour scheme was Tiffany blue and brown and the bride and groom didn't want the traditional fall theme, but thought it would be nice to have some maple leaves on the cake.  We added tone on tone maple leaves then dusted the whole cake with pearl dust.  

A large open rose, made of chocolate of course, adorned the side of this pretty two tiered cake.

Chocolate, Chocolate

We've decided to make our cupcakes bigger AND better!  The nicest part about it is, they are the same price!

Today we baked rich chocolate fudge cake topped with a white chocolate buttercream and white chocolate chips.

What Does The Kitchen Smell of Today?

We have lots of lovely things to tempt our clients with this week, starting with Chocolate covered cake truffles.  What are these?  Well, they are luscious cake mixed with buttercream and fruits, spices or other flavourings then enrobed in chocolate.  Yum!

Today's truffles were raspberry covered in dark chocolate and caramel pecan, also covered in dark chocolate.

Our truffles are $1.00 each and can be boxed if you wish to give them as a gift.

We also toasted almonds ready for tomorrow's surprise a traditional English Christmas treat that everyone has heard of but almost no one knows what it is.

We baked vanilla butter cakes today, mmmm, it's warm and smells good in here!

Chocoalate Boxes - Water Street Cooker, Burlington

This all chocolate cake was the bride's dream and what the bride wants, is what the bride gets!

The chocolate fudge cake was filled with rich chocolate ganache and covered with more ganache and finally chocolate fondant and tied with a chocolate ribbon.  All the little gold pearls were hand painted with 24kt gold and the bow brushed with a gold pearl finish to make it shine.  All the quilting effect is done by hand with painstaking attention to detail.

The Triplets - Hamilton Golf and Country Club

And finally, the cake for the triplets!

One of the most exciting and challenging cakes of late has been this cake for triplets.  Two girls and a boy with completely different hobbies.

The boy loves playing golf, hence he's holding a golf club and there is sand, earth, mud, water, grass and rocks all around them with tiny stray balls here and there.

The one girl loves anything designer and is wearing Juicy, Lulu Lemon, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany and Chanel!  Everything for today's fashionista!

The second sister loves playing soccer and has a soccer ball with a gold cup.  She's also wearing her team uniform and number.

The whole cake is chocolate, with a chocolate ganache filling and chocolate fondant which has been quilted like a Chanel purse.

Vive la difference!

Golf Cake

It's relatively difficult to make cakes for men!  So, when they have an interest such as golf, it's nice to be able to go to town.

This cake was ALL chocolate, chocolate cake, chocolate ganache with chocolate fondant.  The 'earth' on the top was crushed oreo cookies and the bronze banner was made of modelling chocolate as was the golf ball perched on the chocolate tee.

What's not to like?

Chocolate Roses - Geraldos at La Salle Park, Burlington

Take yummy to the extreme and have your flowers made of chocolate!

This simple yet eye catching design was full of fun and colour and very tasteful (pardon the pun).

Purple and Silver Wedding - The School House

Brian and Carissa originally ordered a birthday cake for their son from us, but since they were also shortly getting married they contacted us about having their wedding cake made for a very small ceremony that was to take place before they flew off to the Caribbean for their destination wedding.

Carissa chose purple accents for her wedding, but had no real theme or style in mind.  Because the wedding reception was in our School House, we designed a cake that had an "old world" theme, with a certain retro elegance.  

The cake was red velvet and vanilla and the white fondant covering was dotted with Swiss dots which were painted with real silver dust and a row of purple lace was added along with the big floppy purple bow.

The flowers at the base of the cake were made from chocolate.

The bride was extatic, the whole room was decorated with white and purple and it was a beautiful sunny day.  Congratulations to you both!

Bermuda Blue Wedding Cake - Ancaster Old Mill

When Rick and Judy first came to see me, they had very specific ideas about the theme and colour for their wedding cake.  Bermuda blue was their colour and shells and roses was the chosen theme.

Since a square cake (their initial idea) yields so many cake portions (their guest list wasn't that big) I suggested that they use a hexagonal cake pan, giving the yield of a round cake, but the angles of a square cake.  They loved the idea.

The shells were made of chocolate whilst the roses, orchids and blossoms ere made from sugar.  The flowers were dusted with colour and the shells dusted with iridescent shades of pink and blue tones.

After the wedding Rick wrote:

"Lynne,

Judy and I have returned from our fabulous Honeymoon and I wanted to let you know that the cake was absolutely the most beautiful edible art I have ever seen!

Our family and friends were impressed by not only the detail and workmanship, but by the great taste!  Thank you for making a special contribution to our big day. We will

cherish the photos of the cake forever.  AND, we still have the top section to enjoy during a summer Bar-B-Q.  A number of our guests have children with weddings in the future and

they are now aware of you, your work and your website.est wishes,

Rick"

Bird Spotters - At Home Wedding

This wedding cake was designed for some very 'outdoorsy' bird spotters who shared their passion for birds.

The bride requested that the cake looked like wood, so we used a marbled effect fondant and added daisies to continue the outdoor theme.

I made a chocolate birds nest and nestled inside were two robins.

This cake was all chocolate!

Pink and Chocolate - Art Gallery of Hamilton

These hand made roses were pearlised with pearl dust before being arranged on this white polka dot cake with brown ribbon trim.

The light airy setting of the Hamilton Art Gallery was perfect for the colours this bride chose for her decorations.

Hand made three colour chocolate leaves on a caramel and old gold stippled cake. This design evokes the warm caramel and chocolate flavours so welcome in the autumn months.
