4. Chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream icing

5. Vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream

6. Red velvet

7. Chocolate cake with mint buttercream

This is a cake i've been wanting to make for a while and i was super excited to make it and so happy with the way it turned out :) I was lucky to have the opportunity to make it for a cake walk fundraiser at my work place.

Green Cedar Cake

A three tier wedding cake consisting of a chocolate cake filled with vanilla buttercream, vanilla cake with raspberry buttercream & a chocolate cake filled with strawberry buttercream.

I was so excited when I envisioned this wood cake stand/board. I got one made, and I think it ties the cedar on the cake and the green satin ribbon together beautifully.

Congratulations to the newlywed's! :)

P.S - i didn't notice how off the green ribbon was until i was putting it in the car. It was fixed for the wedding :)

Happy Birthday to ME!!

I had a lot of people ask, and joke, if I had made my own cake for my birthday. I didn't. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have had time after making the helmet, bridal shower cake and 60 cupcakes over the weekend. What I did get though is an ice cream cake. I actually asked for a different cake which my family was unable to find, but now that I think about it, I can't remember the last time I didn't have an ice cream cake on my birthday. So I'm glad the tradition stuck. So here I am, with my cake, my handsome husband in the background, and my dad's hand, coming to shove my face into the cake. Luckily I know him too well and saw it coming so was able to jump away in time :)

What comes after cake.....PRESENTS!!

P.S my parents are re-painting the house, so don't mind the drywall.

And here it is!!! My very own Kitchen Aid Mixer!! It's so pretty :) This machine is going to save me ssssoo much time. Too bad I wasn't born 3 days earlier, it would have come in handy making the 2 cakes and 60 cupcakes I did over the weekend. But, it's here now and I couldn't be any happier :)

Bridal Shower Cake and Cupcakes

Hatbox Cake!! This has probably been one of my favorite cakes to make thus far. It was a lot of work, but i LOVED the end result. Everything you see is edible, even the hand made flowers and pearl necklace (to tie into the bridal shower theme "Pretty in Pearls") This is a chocolate cake with raspberry buttercream.

and 60 cupcakes to go with the cake. Chocolate and vanilla cupcakes with buttercream topped with various flowers. The shower was lots of fun and I wish soon to be Mr and Mrs. a life full of happiness :)

Fox Racing Helmet cake

This cake was probably one of the toughest cakes I've made so far. It was a little tricky at times, but I was pleased with the end result. I hope the birthday boy love it :)

New Icing! Peanut Butter Buttercream

Now that I'm starting to feel more comfortable with my decorating skills, I'm going to start experimenting with different recipes. My first adventure; Peanut Butter Buttercream. I made my first batch for a potluck at work the other day, and put it on top of chocolate cupcakes. Everyone at work loved them! I LOVED them! Who doesn't love the combination of peanut butter and chocolate :) I will definitely be using this as a filling and icing more often.

Pink Wedding Cake

I had my final cake class last week, it was bitter sweet. Its nice to have Tuesday and Wednesdays free now, but I miss learning, my classmates and my teacher. Our class was always full of fun and laughs :)
Our final project was a big one, a 2 or 3 tier stacked fondant covered cake. I decided to do a wedding cake with over 25 white, pink and red handmade fondant roses and a beautiful pink ribbon.

Present Cake

Another cake class project. A pretty present cake with marble ribbons topped with a bow.

Basket of Flowers

This was my final cake project for course #2. A buttercream cake with beautiful royal icing flowers.

Elders Celebration Cake

This was my first time covering cake with fondant! I decided to take a risk and donate a cake for our Elders Celebration Cake. My vision was to have bear prints and bears all over the cake. I think it turned out pretty great. The bottom is a chocolate cake with chocolate filling, and the top tier is a vanilla cake with vanilla filling.

Happy Birthday - Mr. Bean Cake

I would have never thought that i would get a request for a Mr. Bean themed cake, but i did and boy was it fun to make! I used to watch the show, and watched an episode to get inspired. I forgot how funny he was! I hope this 14 year old loved his Mr. Bean birthday cake.

Happy Birthday Grandpa!!

My grandpa loves to play poker, so my dad asked me to make him a poker themed cake. This is what i came up with. I was pretty happy with it as it was my first time working with fondant.

Relay for Life Cupcake fundraiser

In an effort to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society - Relay for Life that i am participating in June 4, 2010, i decided to make cupcakes with the Canadian Cancer Society trademark flower the daffodil and the breast cancer ribbon. I e-mailed everyone in my office asking if people would be interested in donating money for these cupcakes and i received an overwhelming response and ended up making 8 dozen cupcakes. I raised $130 for my team "Choosing to Smile 2" !!!! Thank you everyone at Xyolhemeylh that donated!!
