I have a present for you!

 How the time flies! It's already the middle of July, my little girl is already 5.5 months and I haven't posted in ages. In the last post I mentioned how I made a cake for our youth bake sale/cake auction. That same day I got my first order here in Sudbury. A couple approached me and asked me to make a cake for their mother's birthday. They didn't have much of an idea of what they were looking for, so I took care of the design, hoping they would like it. It turned out to be a success. They also couldn't decide between chocolate or vanilla, so I made one layer chocolate, and one vanilla! Best of both worlds. The cake was made to look like a present. The bow was slightly tricky, I spend a lot of time placing and replacing each layer, but in the end I was pleased. :)

Spring is in the Air

I haven't been able to do much in the way of cakes since we've moved here. The past 8 weeks have been crazy anyway, due to the cutest newest addition to our lives. But this week the youth group that my husband pastor's at, held a bake sale/Cake auction. Our kitchen turned into a mini bakery, with tons of cupcakes, cookies, brownies and cakes being made. It smelt heavenly, but I feel a major sugar rush from all the taste testing. I was able to make a cake for the auction in my spare time lol IT was quite the busy week let me tell you, but I enjoyed it.
Since the weather here has been beautiful I wanted to do a spring cake. I found a few pictures on line that I really liked, so I took parts from each and made my own creation.
I made a red velvet from scratch using a different recipe then normal and it turned out really well. It had a few extra tedious steps but worth it in the end.
Hope the winners enjoyed it!!

A+

Since moving to Sudbury I haven't had much of an opportunity to make many cakes. Obviously being new to the city, not knowing many people, being pregnant and than having a baby has made it slightly difficult. We are currently renting an apt from a fabulous couple that I've had the privilege of knowing for a few years now. Back in November it was the Mrs. 50th birthday and I wanted to surprise her with a little cake. She is a ECE teacher at an elementary school. So I thought it would be cute to make a teacher themed cake. I made a red velvet cake, and decorated it with different school essentials. The apple looks more like a tomato :)

A special Reunion

At the beginning of September, my sister-in-laws old neighbor had contacted me looking for a cake. She saw the cake I made for my sister in laws shower and loved it. It was her daughters birthday, and it was a special one for them. So she wanted a special cake to celebrate. She liked the style from the shower, so I stuck to the same idea but made a few changes so that it was special to her. I used the same color pink, but put lace over top. I included her name and different flowers. I love simple and pretty designs. Here it is...
