A Personal Favourite

Five years ago I had the pleasure of making a cake for a wonderful couple who met in Bermuda.  It was a blue hexagonal cake covered in shells and coral.  I also made their fifth anniversary cake.  This time I was asked to make a very special wedding cake for their nice who was getting married in Cambridge.  Happily Ever After was their theme and their colour scheme pinks and ivories.  We took the `banner`effect from their invitation and created this cake which had a scrolly detail just like the invitation also.

Bridal Shower Cake - Tiffany Box

This cake comes with a cute little story of a very proud aunt who is throwing a bridal shower for her niece.  It's not for me to divulge here, but it's a touching story of love.

This carrot cake was covered in delicious vanilla bean buttercream with Tiffany blue fondant and pearls, we gave it an extra touch of bling just for good measure!

Other Cakes This Week

Gender Reveal Cake:
The mom-to-be brought us an envelope which had a sealed note from her doctor with the sex of the baby written on it.  We made a cake with the corresponding colour on the inside.  The family are gathering this weekend for a party and to find out all together if it's a boy or a girl.

Tea Pot Shower Cake

A tea party bridal shower calls for a tea pot cake!  Antiqued and hand painted then embellished with pearls and roses and a bow of course.

Antique Vision

For a 90th birthday we were asked to make something with an antique flair, pink roses and lots and lots of pearls.  

We also had to make 100 matching cupcakes in chocolate and salted caramel and vanilla and strawberry all decorated with mini roses. 

French Inspiration

This cake was chosen by Zahraa for her birthday, but this style would suit pretty much any occasion, wedding, engagement, birthday, shower anything with a dramatic or a French theme.
The stripes are hand painted with edible ink and the pearls piped on and trimmed with charms and tassels.  The charms were painted with 24kt gold which is of course edible.
Two sugar peonies and edible ivy (real ivy is poisonous and should not be put on cakes) to finish this cake.

This cake was inspired by a Lorri Hutchinson creation.

Vintage Style - Anniversary Cake

A last minute order from a distraught husband who had forgotten his and his wife's anniversary!  To add to his pain, there were guests coming for dinner to celebrate!
We were able to create this small two tiered cake for the occasion with cameos and gold numbers with sugar orchids and pearls.  The flavour of the cake was blackberry and vanilla, very yummy.

Pink Rose - Toronto

This simple little cake is on that we have done before, but this bride chose to have pink pearls and a small row of diamonds at the bottom of each tier (and her own cake topper) which made this cake a little more sparkly than usual.

Romance and Pearls - Ancaster Old Mill

A beautiful wedding cake featuring beautiful cascading pearls as well as a quilted pattern all over the cake.  Deep red hand made roses with sage green leaves provided a softness from the dark petals.

Red velvet cake.

Royal Blue - Geraldo's at La Salle Park, Burlington

Bling and pearls, beautiful for a wedding cake no?

Jewelry Cake

Another one of our very popular jewelry cakes.  This one for someone's 'Mama' celebrating her 85th birthday.  The client said "my mother has never in her life had a cake as beautiful as this!"

The cameos and other breloques that hang from the pearls all over this cake are all edible and are hand made then painted with gold.

Graduation - University of Toronto

Satin draped fabric looking fondant with the University of Toronto crest with roses, forget-me-nots and edible pearls.

For a late graduation celebration, it's never too late to celebrate a happy event or an accomplishment.

Purse Shower Cake - Liuna Station

This cake was for a bridal shower.  Sweet and girlie it was very pretty with the tiny little sugar blossoms and bows.

Blue Bow - Dundas Golf and Country Club

An elegant wedding cake for the Dundas Golf and Country Club.  This cake, a mixture of two of our 'signature cakes' was decorated with edible pearls and a cherub cameo.

Gabriella's First Communion

Gabriella is crazy about Chanel and we were asked to create a small version of a cake we did before but with the Chanel logo and 50 matching cupcakes (picture to follow).  The logo topper was completely covered in edible black glitter (which as usual doesn't show here).

Red Roses, Pearls and Lace

For Lora a layered vanilla and red velvet cake with vanilla raspberry buttercream filling.  Lace pieces were added and finished with red roses (a request from her husband in recognition of the Kentucky Derby).

For Denise - Mississauga

A feminine birthday cake for a 40th birthday.  Pearls, flowers, jewels ...what more could she want?

Beautiful Birthday Cake

Once in a while I'm lucky enough to get asked to create a cake exactly how I want to do it.

The resulting cakes are always my favourite as they reflect my taste and the way I like to create.

This cake was for a Gowlings Lawyer who wanted a cake for a fellow lawyer that they could display in the board room and that everyone would gasp with delight when they saw it....that was what I was asked for.

The cake was covered with ivory fondant and 'antiqued' with a coral pink pearl dust randomly placed so that there were different depths of colour all over the cake.

We then applied sugar pearls in random strings, with cameos, brooches, gold keys and other details being added.  All were painted with 24kt gold and are completely edible.

We finished the cake with sugar flowers in a small posy to capture some of the Victorian spirit that was part of the design which would suit the Victorian building in which it was to be admired.

Siena's Baptism Dress

This little white cake was fashioned after Siena's Baptism dress.  It was a pretty dress made from angora (top) with silk (skirt) and had pearls down the front and tied with a white silk bow at the neck.  Sort of like this cake in fact.

Oh my gosh Lynne,

Happy 18th Birthday Lyna

I'm not a big fan of last minute orders, I like to take my time and not have to watch the clock (I'd be hopeless on one of those TV challenges), but, having said that I'm a sucker for "oh but I MUST have one of your cakes by this afternoon"

This cake was ordered a couple of hours ago and I've just finished it and am about to load it into the car for the delivery.

"Pink and blingy" I was told, "and strawberry flavoured".  So here we have a strawberry cake with strawberry vanilla buttercream covered in pink fondant and decorated with a sugar bow, edible diamonds and pearls and lots and lots of sparkle.

Happy 18th birthday to Lyna!
