Red, White and Black 50th Birthday Cake

Karen's mom asked me to make this cake several weeks ago.  She has never had one of my cakes but went on my mom's word and her "brag book" on her iPhone.  My mom has a picture of every cake I've done in an album on her phone.  Thanks mom! :)

Browsing through the pictures, Janice's Birthday Cake caught her eye.  She really liked this cake and wanted pretty much the same theme.  The only change was to add a camera on the top instead of a shopping bag.



This was a 10" two layer Perfect Chocolate Cake with the PCC icing as the filling.


When I went to print off my pictures for my silhouette shoes I couldn't find them.  Mr T was still sleeping and I didn't think it was enough of an emergency to wake him up to help find these pictures buried deep in some folder on the computer.  Instead, I went in search of some new ones.  Sometimes I can get pretty caught up in searching for the perfect image to trace out and end up wasting too much time.  For once I was able to get what I needed in a few minutes.


Mr T and Miss E set off to deliver this cake while I started on my next.  Unfortunately, Mr T and I apparently had a miss-communication on which Tim Horton's parking lot he was to meet up with Karen's mom.  I told him that he was to meet at the Whitby Brock Tim Horton's.  This is where we do most of our pick ups and drop offs with eastenders.  He heard that he was to meet at the Pickering Brock Tim Horton's.  Only one drop off has been done there!

Who really knows which Brock exit is which and in which town off the 401 anyway?

80th Birthday Cake and Cupcakes

For this 80th birthday I was asked to make 6" cake and 8 dozen cupcakes.  I was told that the birthday girl liked flowers so that's what I went with for the decorating. I absolutely love how this cake turned out.  It was a two layer 6" cookies n' cream (this time I didn't forget any ingredients!) cake.  I covered it in pale blue fondant, with soft pink and white flowers.  I made a large three layer rose the night before with some leaves so they would have enough time to dry out.  For "80", I cut out two of each number out so I could hide the cocktail stick between the two layers.  I had just enough of the soft pink ribbon to go around the bottom of the cake to finish it off. Now, for the cupcakes I did raspberry cupcake with raspberry mascarpone icing, lemon cupcake with lemon cream cheese icing, caramel cupcake with salted caramel icing topped with caramel sauce and cookies n' cream cupcake with buttercream icing.  Two dozen of each went t...

Ty's Milwaukee Tool Box Cake

Clover never ceases to amaze me in what challenge she dreams up for me to do for her son's birthday cake.  This year was no disappointment!  The baking was the easy part for this cake!  The cake was technically a 3 tiered cake that was about 9" x 10".  The tiers were separated with a half inch black cake board cut down to size.  The bottom was chocolate, then vanilla and then cookies and cream.  All were covered in vanilla butter cream before being covered in red fondant. Thankfully Mr T's cousin Amanda was over visiting for the weekend and ended up helping me a lot with the cake.  She built the handle for me using cardboard and electrical tape.  She also told me that it was customary to have stickers on your toolbox so I printed off some plumber related ones and laminated them.  We even got the cake done early and delivered.  Woohoo! Can't wait for next year's challenge!  That's a joke. P.S. Now in my Instagram and ...

60th Jack Daniels Birthday Cake

 These types of cakes are so much fun to do.  Over the top goodness!  Especially, when the original plan  was to use airplane size bottles of Jack Daniel's instead of one 300mL bottle.  When Mr T went to the LCBO he was told that they longer sell them, at least as this location, due to high theft.  The next smallest size available was the 300mL bottle; though I doubt the birthday boy was disappointed! This was a 3 layer chocolate 8" cake with Bailey's buttercream topped off with Hershey pieces, mini chocolate chip cookies, Ferrero Rocher and Whoppers sitting on top of the chocolate ganache.
