What year is it?

I cannot believe how much time has past since I first started this Journey back in 2010. So much has happened in that time. My husband and I have since made 2 major moves across Ontario. From Amherstburg to Sudbury and finally landing in Fergus Ontario. We've also had three yes 3 little babies. I may have mentioned my oldest in a few of my posts and believe it or not she is two weeks into junior kindergarten! There have been many months and years of stress and uncertainty but we are now starting to really settle and put down some roots. 
Now that things are starting to feel a little back to normal I am ready to start baking again! If mainly to just help feed my sugar cravings! 
The blog will soon get a fresh look as well! So please subscribe to keep in the loop and know I will be back soon!

A new venture

Hey there! Thanks so much for following this blog and my journey through cake decorating. Since moving to Sudbury and being a mom, the cake making has slowed a little. While I have been making little cakes here and there, it has been mainly for friends and family. I will post a few pictures of cakes made recently.
Stay tuned for more cakes! :)

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 :)
