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.

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!!
