Ty's 20th Birthday Cake

Ty's birthday was on December 24th and I was supposed to deliver the cake on the 23rd to my friend and pick up my fudge. Thanks to the ice storm that took our power out as I mentioned in my previous post for 38 hours I couldn't bake or cook anything. After waking up the 2nd morning without power on the 23rd we packed up everything to go to my parents. We dropped off Miss E, dropped off baking orders from Krumbs to my co-workers and friends as we made our way back into the city to see if our power was back on. Thankfully it was.

I was so happy that I was going to be able to do this cake for Ty's birthday. Unfortunately I didn't have a lot of time. Otherwise I would have spent a lot more time making the stripes more even and less wobbly looking. :( The circles covered up a bit and I love the ombre look. The 20 I cut out of card stock. Originally they were supposed to be out of fondant but I didn't have enough time to have them number harden.

This cake was a 10" 2 layer chocolate tier and an 8" 2 layer cookies and cream tier. Mr T and delivered the cake and baked goods from Krumbs on the 24th and then headed out to my parents to relax and enjoy Christmas Eve with friends and family.

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.

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...
