Volleyball Get-together


This was a cake made for a volleyball "5 year" reunion and celebrating certain milestones in a couple of their coaches' lives.
It is always interesting working with the ball cake, but it usually turns out the way I like it.
I was happy with the fondant of this cake. The base cake was a chocolate cake, while the ball was a rainbow chip. I hope they enjoyed the party!

Cake truffle tree!

Cake truffles! I love doing these cakes! I had an order for a cake truffle cake which was for a bridal shower. She ordered 60 cake truffles, which I did not think would fit on the form that I had purchased... I guess I was wrong! I could have fit around 100 on there!
These were strawberry, chocolate and vanilla cake truffles. Sweet little bit sized cakes, to just pop in your mouth. I don't know if it gets any better!

T-I-double G - rrrrrr!

I love Tigger, and he was my favourite "Winnie the Pooh" character.
"The wonderful thing about Tiggers is Tiggers a wonderful thing....." We sing this song around our house lots!
One of our friend's son was turning 2 and she requested a Tigger cake. It was a lot of fun to do, as usual. We just did a vanilla cake, but covered it in a fondant Tigger.

April flowers bring May showers??

This is the way that it has seemed... well in our April and May anyways.
April was a month of cupcake flower bouquets, and May has been pretty rainy so far. But with the rain comes beautiful growth!
Enough of the rambling, on to the cakes!
I had 2 cupcake bouquet orders back to back. The first one was for a bridal shower in baby blues and yellow. The second one was for a baby dedication. We also provided party favours for them, which were oreo truffle pops... one of my personal favourites! After I did a few of these, my sister-in-laws were home for the weekend and I couldn't help myself but experiment with some flavours for them. We did peanut butter oreo truffles (the favourite among the girls), chocolate oreo truffles and then regular oreo truffles. All were so rich and yummy, but I think the peanut butter ones, "take the cake"!
