Wedding Celebration

The lone male in our team at work is getting married next month in Macedonia.  So his boss and coworker organised a surprise get together for the floor. Tom is a BIG fan of my Oreo cupcakes so the flavour for both tiers was Oreo cookies and cream.  The flowers were to match the decorations.

I LOVE how this cake turned out.  It's so sweet.  I cut out a bunch of flowers in two different sizes and placed them randomly around.  Though I've mentioned that the humidity is killer on fondant, I will say it does make it a much easier and more efficient process for adding decorations.  I don't need to dot the backs of the flowers with water, they stick on their own.

Tom was very surprised by everything.  He thought he could get out quietly but our floor loves any excuse for a celebration! 


We have a new kitten that thinks she's a dog; she'll eat anything.  I've never had to worry with our older cat, Jade, when baking she's never gone near it.  Willow on the other hand I caught running off with a flower and half eaten by the time I got to her.

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...

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.

WWE Birthday Cake

 To decorate this cake I covered it in vanilla buttercream.  The sides I covered in black fondant. To hide the uneven edge of the fondant I added a red border around the top.  For the corners of the ring I used red bubble tea straws I had on hand wrapper with some DMC black floss and topped with black fondant.  Happy Birthday I cut out with fondant.  The WWE logo I printed off and backed it with a laminated piece of red card stock.  Tommy was cut out using my Cricut machine. Cake: 10" chocolate layer and vanilla layer with vanilla pudding filling.
