Apple Cupcakes

I got the recipe for these out of this month's Rachael Ray magazine. They are called 'Caramel Apple Cupcakes'. Eventhough I didn't add the caramel topping to these they were delicious! More of a muffin than a cupcake but so good! I used apples from my friends tree so the tartness of the apple was great with the sweet batter. Definately worth trying... I will post the recipe soon!!

Spiderman, Spiderman...

This took sooooo much food colouring to make the buttercream deep red and get the black accents dark enough, I definately discovered that it takes more colouring to get buttercream a dark colour than it does for fondant.
I also used a new cocoa for this chocolate cake recipe and it made the cake almost black.

Thomas the Train

I have decided that fondant rocks are my new favourite thing... they look so cool! I also really like making the trees so this cake was so much fun for me to make.

Red Velvet Love

Immediately after making these cupcakes my facebook status was: "When I die, I hope it's from eating too many red velvet cupcakes." And it could not be more true! These were soooo yummy. I love cream cheese frosting more than anything!

I struggle a bit with the true deep red colour in my red velvet, I can never believe how much food colouring it actually cakes! But this past weekend we were in Kallispell wandering through Walmart and came across RED VELVET CAKE MIX! Seriously, why are we lacking this is Canada? I find nothing wrong with a cake mix for cupcakes I make for fun, its quick and easy, and really cupcakes are alll about the frosting! Anyways, these have the craziest deep red colour.... love it! When I make a batch I will post the pics... if they last that long!



Pink Leopard Cupcakes

How awesome are these cupcake liners! I'm in love with them, and got the perfect opportunity to use them for Amariah's first birthday bash! I also made a small princess cake for her but didnt get any decent pictures... ugh!



Hello Lucia!


My wonderful friend Tiff had a baby shower for her beautiful new Lucia! Tiff is in love with anything Hello Kitty so that inspired this cake!

Orange and Pink Daisies

How fun is this? When I walked in to set up the cake the hall was beautiful! What a great colour combo. Thanks Jess for trusting your brother and letting me be a part of your day :)




Too Much Fun!

So you have to love it when the bride says... ''just bring a cake... whatever you want... go for it!''

Lance and Courtney are two of the most vibrant people you will ever meet! So an ordinary, traditional cake just would not do. I knew Courtney wanted crooked and pink... those were my guidelines. So after coming up with an idea I started to decorate and went uhhh.... no, that doesnt work. So I was there needing to come up with an idea asap! So I went back to look at the ideas I had for other cakes saved up and saw this design... so fun! It really worked well with the shape of the cake and when I dropped it off it really fit the whole fun theme of the wedding.

Congratulations and thanks for asking me to be a part of your day... it was absolutely incredible! All the best.





Viva Las Vegas!

Ok so how about a suprise birthday trip to Vegas! Seriously! Don asked me to make this cake to take to his wife at work to suprise her with a trip that day! They were staying at New York New York! When I dropped it off I added a bunch of chocolate coins on top... just to add a little something extra! Thanks and hope your trip was great!

Dark and Dramatic





This may not be the most traditional wedding cake colour but I think it looks so cool with the red and yellow flowers. The ribbons also help break it up. Very fun cake :)
