Spring Baby Shower Cake

My friend Albena asked me to make this cake for a shower that she's throwing for a friend of hers today.  She came over this evening to help me decorate.  I'm not very good with people helping me.  I'm a little particular with my work. I'm usually just happy to have someone to chat with while I am working.  Her and Miss E were actually great help in punching out the flowers and leaves while I painted on the branches with some gel food colouring.  It was awesome to be done the cake early in the evening.


Albena had sent me a picture of the cake and cupcakes she wanted me to replicate for a spring themed shower cake in red velvet.  This is an 8" two layer red velvet with cream cheese icing filling.  The baby is a girl, obviously, and her initials will be MM, hence the monogramming on the front.  Originally I wasn't going to put a border around the bottom but we had some extra cream cheese icing and Albena suggested dying it yellow and I have to agree it looked much better with this.  It also covered one of the edges that I cut the fondant too short on.

    Truly adorable Spring Baby Shower Cake! I have never seen such fantastic cake ever. My mother in law too threw an outdoor baby shower bash last week for me. She reserved one of best venues in San Francisco for this party. It was just fantabulous event.

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.

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.
