Cake Endeavours

For this wedding I made 10 dozen cupcakes all topped with the same white buttercream icing.   I tested out my new acrylic cupcake stand that came with lights to take the picture adding the labels for each flavour.  My other cupcake stand is getting a little ratty.  Hopefully, this one will wear better! Cupcakes: Vanilla, Chocolate and Cookies & Cream with buttercream icing

Sweet, simple, classic cake for my neighbour's birthday.  I did the cake topper on my Cricut. Cake: 6" 2-layer carrot cake with cream cheese icing.

This wolf theme cake was a fun one to do!  The icing is supposed to look like the night sky and in person, the dark blue didn't look green like it did in the photo. Imagine it more like a night sky...or think of it as water covered in greenery...  For the decorations I cut out silhouettes of different wolves and trees and printed off the moon and the face of a wolf.  The rocks around the base are edible chocolate from Bulk Barn.  Warning, they do not taste all that great but do make for excellent decoration. Bottom cake: 8" 2-layer strawberry with strawberry filling covered in buttercream icing Top cake: 6" 2-layer cookies & cream with buttercream icing

An old coworker of mine asked me to make this cake for a new coworker of hers who was getting married.  I made a similar cake many moons ago for our coworker, who was getting married.  I was so happy that she asked me to do another one.  It's been a very long time since I brought a cake into work!     It's also been a very long time since I cut out so many flowers for a cake.  The decorations were all daisies so I used my medium and small cutters and lost count on how many daisies I ended up with on the cake.   Cake: 6" 3-layer lemon cake with cream cheese icing covered in fondant.

Making a cake for my dad is always easy.  He is not picky, he loves his desserts.  But I know he loves cheesecake and chocolate.   I made the cheesecake in my Instant Pot using this  recipe .  It's very easy and fool proof.  I decorated it with various chocolate goodies from the Bulk Barn. Cake: 7" Triple Chocolate Cheesecake

Celebrating my good friend Suzanne with our Friday night group!  Carrot cake is her favourite so of course that's what she was getting.  I was happy to get to use one my cake stands instead of a cakeboard but it is harder to decorate around it than I remembered!  Suzanne is an amazing artist so I tried to make the icing look like a swirl of colour! Cake: 6" 3-layer carrot cake with cream cheese icing

This is one of my favourite cakes to make.  And this was a big one!  The cake toper was done using my Cricut machine and cardstock. I used a stabalized whipped cream icing for the filling so it's not as sweet as my regular buttercream icing.  I also added extra Oreo cookies chunks between the layers. Cake: 10" 2-layer cookies and cream cake with whipped cream icing
