Liz and Shane's Wedding Cake

This was a very special cake to do for Miss E's godmother, my childhood friend, and neighbour that we traveled to Vancouver to do. And celebrate. We are staying at the most amazing Airbnb with a dream kitchen. I swear the island alone is as big as my kitchen! I brought some supplies with me and was able to buy all the ingredients needed at a Bulk Barn that I was able to find. I did need to borrow a hand mixer from the owner's parents next door but everything else was already in the kitchen for me to use.

Mr T and I did go on a hunt for a cake stand and finally found one at Winners thankfully! Nothing like a little stress the day before the wedding. But it was worth it for what we were able to find which was exactly what I was envisioning. Ironically, I have three of these cake stands at home.

The bride and groom requested a naked chocolate cake. They sent over the Mr & Mrs cake topper and I added the greenery from the leftover table decorations. It's always a special treat to get to see the couple cut into the cake and share in the celebration!

Congratulations Liz & Shane!

Cake: 9" 3-layer chocolate cake with German chocolate cake filling covered in vanilla buttercream.

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.
