Sprinkle Cake

I've been wanting to try making a sprinkle cake for a while now ... our end of summer family get together was the perfect opportunity.  It was so fun!  (Sorry for the car in the background ... I just noticed that now.)

Shoes!!!

This 60th Birthday Cake was for a lady who loves chocolate and shoes.



Golf Cake

This golf themed cake was made for a 60th Birthday party.  It is a Chocolate Chip Mocha Baileys Cake filled with layers of Baileys Mousse and dark chocolate ... yummy!

Ocean Cottage Pre-Wedding Cake

This cake was for a pre-wedding party my Aunt hosted.  Since the bride and groom are sailors and the party was at their oceanfront cottage she asked me to go with a nautical/ocean theme.  The cake was inspired by two beautiful cakes, one by Jennifer Harrison at Layers Wedding Cakes and the other on Gateaux's Cake Log Blog.

Balloon Wedding Cake

I was thrilled to be asked to make my brother's Wedding Cake and even more excited when they choose this colourful balloon design.  I have seen pictures of several similar to this online so I'm not sure who to give the original credit to.  It was a combination of yummy chocolate cake with cookies and cream filling and yummy vanilla cake with salted caramel buttercream filling.





English Garden Birthday Cake

This English Garden themed Birthday cake was made for a family friend who is involved with the Philadelphia Flower Show.  I regret that I forgot to get a photo of the rose-covered lattice arch at the back of the cake, it was my favourite part.



Easter Cake

This cake is loaded with bunnies and easter eggs for our family Easter Dinner this year.  Now that there are some toddlers in the family it is fun to get cutsie with the cakes.  This one was inspired by a variety of Easter cakes I found online.


Messy Office Birthday Cake

Our birthday gift for my Brother-in-Law this year was this messy-office inspired cake, which we surprised him with at work.  He loved it so much it got paraded through the whole office so everyone could have a peak before it was cut.

Art Birthday

My cousin is an artist, so for her birthday I created a cake with an art theme.  Her paints and brushes are on the top of the cake with a half-finished canvas of one of her paintings.  On the side of the cake I recreated one of her paintings in buttercream.  She loves chocolate so this is a chocolate cake and each layer is filled with chocolate mousse on top of a thin layer of crunchy dark chocolate ... mmmm!
