Navy and White Wedding Cake

My cousin got married last year and she asked if I would be able to make their wedding cake. She sent me a couple pictures before deciding on this one. It was the first wedding cake I have made that wasn't all white. It nice to do something a little different. Simple and elegant.

It is a little hard to tell from the pictures, but the tiers are navy blue with little edible beads.

The cake was also supposed to have a few real white roses stuck in it. Unfortunately, the florist had the wedding date mixed up and didn't have any of the flowers ready. They really had to hustle to get the bouquets put together for the bridal party! The flowers did arrive, however not in time for me to get them into the cake.

It turned out well even without the flowers!

First Communion and Confirmation Cake

My son celebrated his First Communion and Confirmation last year. Such an occasion definitely requires a cake!

This is my favourite way to quickly decorate a cake - especially for this cross cake pan which has so many edges. It is easy, doesn't take any time at all and looks awesome!

Paw Patrol Birthday Cakes

These cake were for twin girls last year. Their favourite show was Paw Patrol - much like very other toddler!! Kids just can't resist those cute puppies. My daughter just saw these pictures and now she is determined to have a Paw Patrol birthday cake! We will see how many more times she changes her mind before then!

I didn't want to make them exactly the same, so I reversed the colours and chose different puppies to make.

Marshall turned out a little better then Zuma, but I was happy with the end result!

Those streamers in the background were still up from my son's birthday party, which was weeks before. He didn't want them taken down! I haven't put his cake up yet, but will soon!

Make Up Cake

This was a fun cake to make. Bright colours and very girly! It was for my husband's niece. I was able to make all the pieces ahead of time so putting it together didn't take very long.

As you can see there is a 7 lying beside the cake. It got stuck in once the cake was delivered. I didn't actually make it to the birthday party - instead left the delivery and set up to my very capable husband. I just didn't get a picture of it completely finished!

The Master Sword Birthday Cake

My husband is a Zelda fanatic. I finally gave in and made him a Zelda cake in the form of the Master Sword for his birthday last year. I guess there are only so many fishing cakes I can make! I don't quite get what the Master Sword is, but from what I understand it is an accomplishment to earn/find/unlock? it from the rock it is apparently stuck in. And Link needs it. I know that.

It didn't quite turn out as good as I had hoped. The purple faded out of the fondant - this has happened to me before and I don't understand why. And it also looks a little lumpy, the fondant probably could have been put on a little thicker, but at the end of the day a Zelda cake is a Zelda cake and I don't hear anyone complaining!

Millennium Falcon Birthday Cake

Camron always has great ideas for birthday cakes! For his birthday last year he wanted this Millennium Falcon cake that has a LEGO feel. It was the first Star Wars cake I ever made. I'm a Star Wars fan so I was excited to make it for him!

Silver and White Wedding Cake

This cake goes back to last year - A friend of my sister's asked me if I would be able to make her wedding cake. I was a little uncertain about it because she wanted these specific flowers on it, which I had never made before. I'm more of a royal icing flower gal, and not so much into fondant/gum paste flowers. Fortunately Wilton makes a kit for a very similar flower and I was able to make them (not without a little stress!).

As I type this I remember decorating this cake - it was getting to be the middle of the night and I was so tired, putting those silver balls on the cake one at a time with tweezers. My husband helped me with them too. We worked mostly in silence except for sound of my music and the sound of those little balls bouncing off the table onto the floor. The next morning when I swept the floor the dust pan was half full of them! They are hard to hold onto with tweezers!

I assembled the cake at the hotel where the reception was being held, very carefully putting on those little silver balls around the base of the tiers. My husband helped me deliver it so he was there help me again!

There is something about this cake that I really like, and I'm not actually sure what it is. Maybe it is the flowers since they are out of my norm, or maybe it is the million little silver balls that give it so much sparkle.

It was a rainy day, but the hall was beautifully decorated, the cake assembled and the bride was happy so I would say it was a success!

Doc McStuffins Birthday Cake

So, it's been a while! I haven't done much crafting in the last year, but I have made a few cakes and I'm behind in posting them. I'll try to get caught up!

This is a cake I made for my daughters birthday. She wanted a Doc McStuffins cake so we went on Pinterest and she picked one out. I changed it a little bit to my liking and instead of making a Doc McStuffins I ordered her off Amazon.

I especially like the Lambie, the sheep!
