Princess Cake for Catherine

This cake was fun to make. I was given a picture to replicate and thankfully the link had a great how to tutorial.

I don't know how I got this effect with my camera on my iPhone. It was not intentional but I like how the picture turned out.

The bottom tier was 8" chocolate with chocolate fudge filling. The top tier was 6" cookies and cream with buttercream filling. I wanted the pink bows to be a darker pink but I could not find my dye and I knew I had a bottle somewhere. Of course I found it as I was cleaning up. Grr! Mr T and I delivered cake to Vaughan only to realise I had forgotten a key element of the cake.

I can't believe I forgot to add Happy Birthday and the 8. I forgot to make them, not just forgot to add them. I felt so bad. I offered up to bring the rest back tomorrow. I was freaking out inside because I am getting ready for the big wedding cake for tomorrow and had everything timed out. Fortunately on our way home I got a call saying that we could drop it off at her parents' which is about 15 minutes from our place. Phew! Mr. T could do that on his own and get a trip to a 7-Eleven at the same for a Slurpee. I made the banner and the 8 as soon as I got home.

The birthday girl loved it. Yay!

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
