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?

My Little Pony Pull Apart Cupcake Cake

For this "cake" I made two dozen vanilla cupcakes and arranged them on the cake board in the shape of the rainbow and clouds.  To make sure the cupcakes didn't move I added a dab of icing on the bottom of each cupcake. It's not that often that I get to dye icing, or six different colours at once.  You can get a really good bicep workout, Miss E was kind enough to lend her figurines as models for the picture.  The clouds piped out perfectly.  The rainbow was a little more difficult.  Next time I would put a base coat on the cupcakes to help keep the top coat more level and easier to pipe over.

Carrot Cake for July Birthdays

To celebrate my dad and brother's birthdays this year we went up to my parents' trailer to have a campfire dinner; hotdogs over the fire with a side of corn on the cob.  So good! To finish off the celebration I made one of the family favourites, carrot cake with cream cheese icing.    This was a 3 layer six inch cake with lots of cream cheese icing.  Hopefully, it was enough for Geoff this time.  

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.
