Angelina

I had another small cake order for Parkwood manor on Friday night. Angelina and Chris wanted cupcakes with a ivory and chocolate theme. I love making these cupcakes with the little flowers...they are so cute.

Halie's pattern

This cake was for Halie and Paul (a very fun couple) who were married yesterday and had their reception at the Ajax Convention Centre (gorgeous). Halie really wanted the cake to incorporate part of the design from their wedding invitations. I am so happy with how the pattern turned out. I had to cut and paste it together, but you can hardly tell. This cake was really fun to bake. I love when couples are creative with their flavour choice. They chose a chocolate cake with a layer of dark chocolate ganache and two layers of raspberry buttercream...delicious!!! for the top and bottom tier and a vanilla cake with a layer of merangue and two layers of lemon cream....also delicious with a really nice texture combination. Paul is a trained pastry chef and loved both cakes at the cake tasting, but I am curious to hear what their guests thought.

Nesa's Orchids

What can I say about this cake. I never knew that there were so many varieties of Orchids, but I have to say I think these are my new fav's. I really enjoyed meeting with Nesa and Mahmoud. Their wedding was held at Parkwood Manor in Oshawa. This was my first time back there in about 10 years. I drive by it all the time, but havn't gone in. It was absolutely gorgeous. They had beautiful weather...one of the few saturdays that havn't had rain this summer. I love the look of this cake. I think 4 tiers are the way to go...they are just so much more dramatic. Nesa really wanted to have a large cake, but didn't need that many servings. I suggested adding a few "fake tiers" and voila....another lovely cake was born. I was really happy with the draping on this cake. I showed my parents a picture of it yesterday, and they both agree that this style of cake is their favourite.....maybe I will have to surprise them with one for their next big anniversary :)

Lovely Lillies

I love how this cake turned out. This cake was for a bride named Angela. Her friend was supposed to do make it for her, but she had to return to England for a family emergency. I delivered this cake to the new Ajax Convention Centre...wow...very nice inside. If you are judging by decore alone, then I would highly recommend them. I was able to say hi to Angela and her husband while I was setting up the cake. She looked beautiful and was just beaming. I love delivering the cake, especially when I can catch a glimpse of the bride :) I am really happy with how this pic came out. I guess my camera does work sometimes. Don't the Star Gazer Lillies look gorgeous.

Ever After

The theme for this wedding was "...And they lived Happily Ever After." The reception was held at Lakeride Golf Course. I had never been there before, but I was really impressed with the location. It was very nice. I have been wanting to do a cake like this for a long time. I love how it looks like the cake is floating on the roses :) I am really annoyed with my camera though. I must have taken over 20 pics of the cake and most of them turned out fuzzy, even though they looked fine when I checked them on the camera.

Surf N' Sand Cake

I had a really fun wedding cake last week. A friend of the bride (bride lives in B.C) contacted me about doing a wedding cake. The wedding was being held in Collingwood and the bride and groom had a beach theme. She was pretty specific with the look of the cake. She didn't want the traditional beach theme cake with white sea shells etc. As you can see, this cake was anything but typical. The colour of the cake was the colour of beautiful glass starfish that were being used as part of the decoration. The surf board on top of the cake was also a specific request. I was really happy with how the cake turned out. It was different not to deal with the bride and groom, and not to deliver the cake myself, but I was told that "that the cake was a great success! Everyone loved the look of it and absolutely loved the taste! The bride and groom were thrilled!"

Gerbera Daisies

I love Gerbera Daisies...so I was very excited when I had a wedding with pink Gerbera Daisies and pink and brown as the colour. Immediately this is the cake that I pictured in my head. The bride and groom were married in Cardston, AB earlier in April. The cake I made was for a recption held in Bowmanville for the friends and family of the bride that couldn't make the trip out west. I was really happy with how it turned out :)
