Purple Paws

Another $20 for the SPCA ! 


Vanilla cupcakes. With purple, blue and equipped with kitty paws! So appropriate! The person who ordered them got them for his girlfriend- when I asked what she liked to get ideas for the cupcakes he responded int he most adorable guy way possible ! His response was ..."She likes cats! .. And purple! ... And Blue.... I'm not helping at all am I?..."
I told him I would work with that... And I think I did pretty good!

Cabin/ Curling hobby Birthday cake

Finally got the video of my Uncle's cake edited!! ... It's really bad haha



Between being in my grandmother's kitchen, having no tripod or turn table and my mother stopping the recording at the end- this was a fun adventure





Disney Inspired Tropical Cake

A birthday cake for an old friend of mine! I had the honor of doing her wedding cake 6 years ago and now I am making her kids birthday cakes as they grow!

2 tiered tropical birthday cake. Lemon cake with a Disney flare. 

And also another $75 for the SPCA!


The tropical vibe was really set off by the water and the cinnamon sticks to represent a wooden fence along the base of the cake.

My Uncles 60th Birthday Celebration

I had the honor last month to do the cake for my Uncle's 60th Birthday party!

It was a lemon 2 tiered cake with all of his hobbies rolled into 1.
Side 1 was his camp (although it kinda looks like an outhouse...) topped with a woods scene to get the feel.

 Next up is his home! The Acadian flag represents where he's lived all his life... And he also makes flag poles in his spare time :)

Lastly the final side represents his hobbies... Curling! Done with fondant curling stones and all.

I was by far the youngest person at this party by 30 years but it was a great time for everyone!
The money my aunt gave me for the cake immediately was put in the pot for the SPCA!

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.
