Bridal Shower

I made this cake for a co-worker who was having a bridal shower for a friend.  The cake was supposed to be completely covered in roses, but with the heat of the past week I just couldn't get it to work on the sides, so I improvised.  I added silver and lime green dragees to match the cupcakes I made to go with the cake.


The cake is 2 layer 10" chocolate cake with peanut butter icing for the filling.  The peanut butter icing is really good! The icing is butter cream coloured to watermelon pink.


I also made 3 dozen cupcakes, 1/2 were Oreo and 1/2 were red velvet with cream cheese icing.  I love the cupcake liners that I bought from Flour Confections in pink and lime green.

Another co-worker needed some cupcakes last minute so I was able to get two dozen from the extra batter from these cupcakes and the cakes I made for the wedding cake that I put up in my next post.

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.

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...

Dentist Cake

One of Mr. T's coworkers asked me to do this cake for her sister that had graduated to be a dentist.  She asked that it has a dentist theme with money on it. This was a 6" chocolate cake covered in vanilla buttercream.  You can tell how humid the day was with the shine on the lettering.  The tooth, toothbrush and bills were made from fondant.
