Ottawa Senators Birthday Cake
Ottawa Senators Birthday Cake for my husband's 40th! Dark chocolate cake filled and iced with chocolate ganache. Marshmallow fondant decorations. My husband is a huge Sens fan and we had the cake at a hockey tournament with my daughter's hockey team which he coaches. It's not perfect as I had to rush a bit, but the girls loved it and so did he!

First Wedding Cake / Cupcakes
This was my first wedding cake. 200 cupcakes and 6 inch topper cake. 100 almond and 100 toasted coconut, all with chocolate ganache icing and pink, white and gold pansies. Topper is toasted coconut with chocolate ganache, covered with marshmallow fondant decorations and buttercream dots. I was pleased with how it turned out, but don't know if I'll ever do another wedding. Way too stressful!!

Chocolate Orange 30Th Birthday Cake
30th birthday cake for my sister in law. The only direction I got was that she wanted chocolate. So she got dark chocolate cake spiked with cointreau, filled with chocolate/cointreau ganache, coated with chocolate buttercream and covered with chocolate marshmallow fondant. Flowers are fondant and ribbon is raffia. She loved it!

Baby Cupcakes!
Baby cupcakes made for my son's teacher's baby shower. Chocolate, chocolate chip cupcakes with vanilla buttercream and marshmallow fondant. Thanks to Discodiva for the design idea! I didn't have time to add the little hair swirls and I should have put the ears a little closer to the edges, but still cute!

Burgundy Pansies & Scrolls
This is my first paid cake job! It was for a graduation party. Dark chocolate cake with Cointreau chocolate ganache filling. Iced in vanilla buttercream and covered in marshmallow fondant, with buttercream freehand scrolls and fondant/gumpaste pansies. First time I've done freehand scroll work and I was quite nervous. It isn't perfect, but I'm very pleased with how it turned out and so was the client!

Blue & Green Wonky Cake
This was my 2nd fondant cake and 1st attempt at a wonky or topsy-turvy cake. I made it for a cake raffle at my kids' school. It wasn't quite tilted enough as I was a little afraid to go too far, but everyone loved it. I was very pleased with the colour combination and had a lot of fun making it. Dark chocolate cake on the bottom and vanilla on top. Filled and coated in vanilla buttercream and covered in MMF.

Crumb coated with vanilla buttercream and then all covered in MMF. Cut outs and pearls are coated with white pearl luster dust.
