My Brother's Wedding

It seemed only fitting to do a "Cake Truffle" cake for my brother and now sister-in-law. Ever since I discovered these sweet little treats, they have been a big hit with these two. They would make them for all occasions, so this one seemed like a must! When I saw a picture of a cake truffle cake, while browsing wedding cakes online, I instantly emailed it to them, and they liked it as well. I tentatively said yes to do their cake, (while I was pregnant and could possibly have the baby on their big day), and secretly hoped I could do it! Our little baby boy came a month early, so I was able to work on it, with my mother. She formed all the cake truffles a few weeks in advance, and we dipped and decorated 2 days before the wedding. It all came together nicely, but I would say making the form for it to go on was the most labour intensive part of the whole project. Overall we were very pleased with the outcome and I think everyone enjoyed this sweet little treat that represented the bride and groom very well! Many blessings to a beautiful lifetime of love and serving our awesome God together!

December Birthdays

We had some family birthday celebrations this month, along with our dear Savior's birth. These consisted of a cake covered in tools for our 2 year old toolman nephew, and a pretty pink cake for our aunt. The tool cake was all made and molded out of fondant and the pink cake was a carrot cake covered in cream-cheese frosting. Much thanks goes out to my mother-in-law and sister-in-laws who lended me their hands for these projects - which have become more challenging with a newborn and toddler.

Baby Shower

I got to do a baby shower cake for my good friend. Chocolate was her choice of flavour -mmm and what pregnant girl wouldn't want a chocolate cake covered in chocolate buttercream! - ok let's be serious, what GIRL wouldn't want a chocolate cake! It was a big hit, even if it did put me into labour (just kidding). But I didn't even get the chance to see her enjoy her cake, as I did go into labour the day of her shower, and had my beautiful baby boy! Well at least there is a great story to go along with this cake! They did enjoy it.

Birthday Bouquet

Pretty pink flowers was the order fot this birthday girl. We did her up a pink and white floral cupcake bouquet. It was a great hit! I love decorating with sweets, and these cupcake bouquets are so much fun! This may even be a future order for her wedding! I hope to add new flowers to future bouquets.
