A Sweet Thank-you and the start of the Campaign!

A little treat for my coworkers courtesy of our GM Karen Evans!! Everyone gets to benefit from her generosity (as this was something she personally purchased for the office) This will also begin my National cupcake day campaign for the SPCA, instead of signing up for the actual campaign this year I will be donating the money I collect from cake orders directly to the Nova Scotia SPCA! Off in the pot is $90! Stay tuned for more!

The original plan was to have a big wedding style snowman cake however the budget didn't exactly allow for such luxury! So we switched gears and went with a nice big slab cake bug enough to feed all 90 of us! (But still equipped with snowmen)

 

Inside we sported vanilla cake with vanilla icing. Some green icing to show the brand at it's best and some candy to really pop the flavor!

 

Goodies included marshmallows, mint chocolates, and chocolate rosebuds.. There was no complaints from anyone!

Raspberry Cake

A piece I am quite fond of. There's a story behind this raspberry birthday cake. The beloved birthday girl was born in a raspberry field! She was so eager to arrive there was no time to waste to get to a hospital. So every year on her birthday they celebrate with a raspberry cake.

I was so honored to be able to make this. It feels to be a very important tradition in the client's family. So I put a twist on the favorite and made the cake into a little basket! Chocolate cake on the inside with raspberry jam and fresh raspberries between the layers. Surrounded with wafers and held together with a little bow.

This is.. Most definitely one of my favorite creations.

Wedding Cupcakes

I had the opportunity to pipe hundreds of cupcakes for my friends wedding! It was a wonderful experience to be a part of and it was one of the first times I had the chance to film the decorating process.

Being my first time I never thought to angle my phone the landscape way.... However a lesson I learned immediately haha

Combo of Vanilla, Chocolate and a cake for cutting.

Rainbow Birthday Cake

I wanted my mother's birthday cake to be special this year- to add to the special party that we threw for her!
It was a wild success overall! Although my video camera stopped working we got some good shots to remember the day.


It started off with a surprise private state with all the family that could be pulled in! A couple coudn't participate due to bad timing (of being pregnant or recently having a concussion) but it was great to have everyone in the room! Even if you couldn't skate!

I for one hadn't skated in.... 15 odd years? Maybe longer? Surprisingly I help up strong! Didn't fall once ;)

The evening continued with more food then you could ever imagine and this cake. 3 tiers chocolate on the bottom tier and vanilla for the top. Equipped with rainbow sprinkles and fondant roses. I originally wanted a flamingo topper however the pink bird was a solid choice.

It was an amazing day of fun and family- I was thrilled that it went so well. Started the plans in August- for the party beginning of December. A lot threatened to stop the excitement but we got through it all and had an amazing day!!

New Years Resolutions 2017

And yes they are all cliches this year.

De clutter
Be healthy
Feel like I never work another day in my life

I set them up on the chalkboard to remind me what I'm working towards


The de-cluttering has actually been a little fun! I feel like I've given myself the OK to purge and it's so nice opening drawers and going into rooms once they've been cleaned. It's a very stress relieving sight.


Behold my bathroom drawer! Once a place of mystery and junk, now it's possible to see everything! I reduced the makeup collection by quite a bit as well, as I've gotten older I've realized the basics are plenty... Plus half of it was expired anyways!

Memories came through while purging the bathroom, and I couldn't bring myself to throwing out my hair accessories from past proms, so these can be found in a keepsake box now.


Being healthy I know I will have more of a challenge with- working 8 years in a grocery store I took for granted how easy it was to pick up groceries on the fly. Nowadays it's more of a challenge to keep the house stocked of all the good things that make healthy eating so enjoyable- but I got this. Just a little grocery commitment is all we need!

Lastly... The hardest one.... Full disclosure I know I have a great job and I am certainly grateful for it- however I've always dreamed of a life where I can make it by doing what I love- and with the internet I know it could actually be possible! I am looking forward to continuing to work towards it even though I know the odds are thin. There's no chance if you don't try though!

Cheers to 2017 and new hopes and dreams!
