The bottom tier is completely covered in handmade sugar flowers. Yep, those are all edible! We kept the rest of the cake relatively simple, with simple dots, and hand piped strings of pearls, with gold ribbon accents.

Flower Garden
It's been so long! Life has been crazy, and so has work. We're in full fledged wedding season at the shop, with 7 or 8 wedding cakes every weekend, in addition to our usual 20 or so cakes. So much for summer being relaxing hey? This cake is from this last weekend, and it turned out pretty darn good. A little much for my personal taste, but beautiful nonetheless. Enjoy!
Cake!
I mentioned before that I was working on something that I was really excited about. Well here it is! I had to opportunity to work on cakes that will be used in an advertisement in a national wedding magazine. A daunting task, but a challenge that I was definitely up to. It will be in the fall/winter issue, so our color palate was on the darker side. A little bit disappointing because pastels are my favourite colors to work with. Nonetheless I'm really proud of how they turned out. All the cakes were inspired by different fabrics, from the ruffles, to the lace design (which took 3 hours to do. 3 hours, for one tier!), to the flower rosettes and buttons. So without further adieu...
These beautiful pictures were taken by the lovely Monica Chapman, who is an amazing photographer, and total sweetheart! It's times like these when I'm proud to say that I'm a cake decorator!

Mustache
Sometimes it's sad how long it takes me to post things. This I made this cake for my brother's 13th birthday, which was end of March... Better late than never right? It's also sad that cakes for my family are usually cakes that get done in the last 10 minutes of the day, when I've already worked 12 hours and have no creativity or brain power left. That's the case with this little cake, but I think it still turned out pretty cute. Justin and I have a running inside joke with mustaches, and their growing popularity over the past year, so I thought it only appropriate to put some on his birthday cake!
I can't believe you're 13 already Justin! Love you lots and lots!

Tuesdays...
This is how I feel about work this week. This is pretty much the only cake I feel like decorating. I've got a bad case of the Tuesdays....

Miss Daisy
This little cutie is my niece Daisy. Isn't she a doll? Well she just turned two, and I took the opportunity to combine all my favorite things. Pink, ruffles, sparkle, polka dots and bows. Allll on one cake! Luckily Daisy is a girl after my own heart and likes all those things too!
The birthday girl blowing out the candles.
And this is the face you get when you take a bite of her ice cream without asking. Too cute!
I love you Daisy girl!
