My cousin's daughter is absolutely in love with all things Sesame Street.  In particular - Elmo.  So for her 1st Birthday, I made her a Sesame Street cake complete with figurine toppers of Cookie Monster, Elmo, and the birthday girl in her birthday party outfit!  All figurines were sculpted out of modelling chocolate.  The top tier was a Classic Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Buttercream (her big brother's favourite!).  The bottom tier was a Classic Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Buttercream and Mascarpone Buttercream.  Since the birthday girl is allergic to eggs, I made her some egg-less cupcakes with egg-less buttercream as well. Happy 1st

A friend of mine recently shared the good news that her son had gotten engaged!  She wanted to surprise the lovely couple with an engagement cake this Thanksgiving weekend and asked if I could make it in a Hindu inspired design.  I decided to make a single tier version of the Henna-Mehndi cake from last year.  The Henna design was painted free-hand on the cake with cocoa butter.  The cake had alternating layers of Classic Vanilla Cake and Classic Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Buttercream. Congratulations Eric & Amber!

My friend's daughter loves Bert & Ernie from Sesame Street.  So, for her first birthday, I made her a pretty yellow and pink cake with Bert & Ernie figurines.  I also made a little figurine of the birthday girl in her beautiful yellow ruffle romper birthday outfit!  All figurines are sculpted out of modeling chocolate.  The cake is a Classic Chocolate cake with Vanilla Buttercream. Happy Birthday Olivia!

Since my niece's birthdays are a month apart, this year, it was decided that they would have a joint birthday party.  Having a joint birthday party doesn't mean you have to share your cake too though!  I decided to make 2 separate cakes for the girls so that they would have something of their own for the day. My nieces love My Little Pony.  Leah loves all the Princess Ponies, while Norah's favourite is Pinkie Pie.  I went with Princess Celestia for Leah's cake and Pinkie Pie for Norah.  Both ponies are sculpted out of modeling chocolate.  Leah's cake is a Classic Chocolate

  I was asked to make a small wedding cake for this weekend.  The bride wanted to incorporate design details from previous cakes into one design.  She absolutely loved the elephants from the Henna-Mehndi cake except she wanted to omit the Indian theme, have them painted a blush metallic, and have their initals on each elephant.  She also loved the painted roses design but wanted the colours to be more muted so that it looked like a water colour painting. The elephants were sculpted out of polymer clay so that they can last as a keepsake.  The cake flavour was a Classic Chocolate

Elliott's daycare has two wonderful ladies who look after the children.  Today is one of their birthdays and so I decided to make a cake for her.  It's the least I can do as a Thank You for looking after Elliott 5 days a week!  The fantasy flower on the cake was originally supposed to be a Magnolia, but I ended up adding more petals because I thought it looked a little sparse.  The cake is a Classic Chocolate Cake with Blackberry buttercream. Happy Birthday Dyann!
