Carpentry Tools

This was a rush-order cake I made for my  neighbour who specializes in carpentry.

Covered in marbled fondant to represent plank and topped with edible hammer and screw drivers made from RKT.

Sweet 16 Birthday Cake

3 tiered double chocolate cake filled with chocolate mousse for a 16th birthday party. It was a black, red, and white affair and the cake captured the essence of the event. Mini hand-made roses and a large bow adorned the cake. We used our  Essence Deluxe Ice rolled fondant to cover the cake and make all the decorative elements.

A couple of cakes we made this week

Sharing pictures of a couple of cakes we made this week - bagpipe cake

and one in the shape of the Toronto FC scarf. Enjoy!

Elmo and Friends Birthday Cake

This is the Elmo Cake we made for Olive's 2nd birthday. Olive celebrates her birthday on Halloween and that is why Elmo is holding a pumpkin. Elmo is flanked by 2 friends - Cookie Monster and Ernie, both edible.

BMW Car Cake

We got a call for this cake from Down Under--as in Australia for delivery to Oakville, Ontario. Rich dark chocolate cake filled with buttercream and covered in black rolled fondant.
Taking photographs of black cars is challenging!

3-Tiered Wedding Cake

Once again, we are proud to share this great feedback with you. These pictures were sent to us by Jen and Dave, a couple whose wedding cake we made in July.

Their cake was a classic vanilla cake filled with champagne buttercream and frosted with our Essence Deluxe rolled fondant.

Thank you Jen and David for sharing these pictures with us.

Ladies Shoe Cake

The shoe box is a lemon and vanilla cake, and the shoe is chocolate. Aaarh, the shoe.
We almost packed it in on the shoe. Guess how  many times we made this shoe - once, twice? Nope! Nine times!!!!  We made the shoe nine times before we finally got one that did not break.

Anyway, we are glad that we got something decent to present to the client, who was ectastic, by the way.

Gift Box Cake

We got a call from a US-based company to make a cake to say 'Thank You' to an employee in the GTA for doing a great job.
When the call came, there was no specific design discussed. All the client asked for was a 3-layer chocolate. Here is what we made.

Sports Shoe Cake

We had a lot of fun making this cake. It is a classic vanilla cake filled with buttercream. YUM!!

The shoe cake started life as a big sheet cake that was filled, carved, and crumb-coated with buttercream.

The stitches and other details were added to the cake after it was covered in Essence Deluxe Ice rolled fondant.

65th Birthday Cake

We got a request for this cake from a client based in the US with strong family ties here in Brampton.

She requested an elegant cake for her mom's 65th birthday party. She sent a few pictures that inspired her and we came up with this design using some elements from those pictures.

Cake was a light vanilla cake filled with strawberry cream and fresh strawberries.

The client sent us a note to tell us how delighted she was with the cake.

Soccer ball Cake

This is the soccer ball shaped cake we made for a 1 year old.

We used the sports ball pan, and covered the cake in our Essence Deluxe Ice Rolled Fondant.

The black pentagons were cut out of black fondant while the hexagons were marked directly on the cake. Next time a similar order comes in, I shall have my camera ready to capture different stages. Until then, stay tuned.

Wedding Mini Cake Tower

Could not resist sharing this with you. We made this mini cake tower for a June bride, and today, this beautiful picture and a thank you note arrived in the mail from her.

The mini cakes were a mix of both chocolate and vanilla cakes filled with our signature buttercream, and frosted with the Essence Deluxe Ice rolled fondant. The 6 inch topper was a special diet cake because the bride has a few food allergies.

A big thank you to the couple for sharing this picture of them cutting their wedding cake with us.

Elmo Birthday Cake

We made this cake for a cute little guy who just turned one.

We used two 10 inch round cakes for the bottom; and for elmo, we carved  three 5 inch round cakes. The eyes were marshmallows.

When the cake was delivered, both Mom and Dad, and Lukas were very excited to see it.

Lukas immediately recognized his favourite TV character, and bounced and crawled toward the cake. That was gratifying!

Watch out for a soccer ball cake for another 1 year old.
