Cake Endeavours

 My cousin Ben turned 30, this year and his amazing girlfriend organized a number of surprises for him during this quarantine.  I offered to make a cake; she recommended a carrot cake cake, which is a family favourite. I found this cool silhouette that totally reminded me of Ben and cut it out on my Cricut machine to use as the cake topper.  We dropped it off to their apartment as a surprise. Ben got a kick out of the topper. 

 I'm so glad we were able to see Joy and celebrate her birthday with her during the small window between lock downs! So glad the cousins got to see each other.  Joy requested a rainbow cake and for it to be chocolate. This was a 3 layer chocolate 6" cake enjoyed by all.  Even leftovers to take home. 

 Mr T's dad turned 75 and we were so heartbroken that we couldn't celebrate together, but we did surprise him with a birthday cake.  A smaller one than usual, but he didn't have to share, well, only with Mr T's mom, if he chose to.  Ha!  Of course, it was chocolate cake with chocolate filling. I found this quirky sign to print off, laminate and add to the front of the cake.   At least we were able to have a short visit from our car to wish him a Happy Birthday!  

 We surprised Ilene with this sweet 6" cake for her birthday as I knew being in lockdown that she needed a special pick me up.   For the balloons I dug out my paper punches to punch them out and added them to some floral wire.
