Amy and Aleks


Our good friends were married in a romantic, winter wonderland setting in December. Everything was glittery and refined...a truly memorable event! This cake was designed by the beatiful bride, and her lovely daughter, with some help from me. The entire confection was covered in creamy fondant and decorated with icey blue flowers and leaves. I then brushed royal icing on the flowers to give them an icey, just snowed on appearance. The bride added white fresh flowers with seasonal greenery at the venue, but I unfortunately did not bring along my camera. Inside was lemon cake with lemon curd buttercream and chocolate and vanilla cake with alternating layers of oreos and cream buttercream and whipped chocolate ganache. Congratulations Amy and Aleks.

Autumn Wedding Cake



This was such a fun cake to make! The leaves in our area have turned lovely shades of colours, and this cake captures some of them. The rich colours of the cake, were highlighted by the reception setting. There was a huge backdrop of lovely autumn leaves! The bottom tier of this cake was chocolate cake with vanilla oreos 'n cream buttercream, the middle tier, vanilla with vanilla buttercream and the top tier was red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. It must have made for a dramatic cutting! All decorations, leaves, acorns, cording were edible.

Lindsay



This cake was made for the wedding of my husband's cousin and his beautiful bride. All they told me is they wanted brown and white and a snowflake theme. The ribbons and bows are made of chocolate fondant, and the snowflakes are actually crystal ornaments that they can use for years to come to remember this special day. Inside was chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream, vanilla cake with lemon buttercream and raspberry preserves and vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream. Congratulations Peter and Lindsay!
