Spring 2009 Cake Tasting

I have finally set a date for my Spring 2009 Cake tasting. Thanks to those of you who have been waiting patiently for the details.

Please don't forget to call and book an appointment. I will be meeting with individual couples to allow them to sample my work and have a chance to discuss their wedding cake. I will be offering samples of my most popular cakes as well as a one or two cakes with a twist.

Pretty in Pink

This is cake that I made for a Bridal Show at the end of October. I had been wanting to do an all pink wedding cake for some time, so I decided the bridal show was the perfect opportunity. This picture isn't great as I took it with my less than great digital camera, but I still love how it looks. I made pink gumpaste roses and gumpaste fabric to match the fondant. I was really happy with the overall look of the cake. It was simple and elegant...exactly what a pale pink cake should be!

It has been a busy few months. I was just checking through some photos and realized that I have completely forgotten to post a bunch of cakes I have done recently.

This winter wonderland was for a wedding held in a beautiful golf course in Lindsay. I was really excited when the bride said she wanted a snowflake wedding cake as my first wedding cake was a snowflake cake. I am much happier with how this one turned out:)

I am really happy with how my take on the "cherry blossom" cake turned out. I am not sure who the original designer is, but I love all versions of it. The bride requested a small cake with cupcakes on the bottom. I loved the elegance of the simple cake stand with the cupcakes surrounding the cake. It looked very lovely. I almost had a disaster while delivering the cake. I was less than 1 minute away from the reception hall when I took a corner a little too sharply and almost toppled the cake. There was a little mark on the back of the cake (luckily) that I was able to smooth out when I got there!! My heart was beating so fast. I will definitely be avoiding another close call.

The pink Calla Lilly cake was for another small wedding at the end of November. The bride and groom live out West, so the groom's mum was making the plans. Yvonne from the Apple Blossom Flower shop in Orono refered me. It was short notice but I was more than happy to help out.
