Builder Cake
This cake was made for a 2nd birthday for a little boy who loves trucks, tractors, diggers and dump trucks. The cake is chocolate covered in a special blend of chocolate buttercream and a chocolate whipped icing. The road is buttercream as is the border of green around the cake. The boulders/rocks are modeling chocolate and the leaves on the border are made from fondant.

Toy Story Cake
This is a cake for my son's 3rd birthday. He LOVES the Toy Story movies so that was our theme. The cake is chocolate and the icing is buttercream. The stars, lettering, cow spots and fence are all made with modeling chocolate which I made using chocolate wafers. The figurines aren't edible but the bed is. I made that using Rice Crispies for the base and I covered it with modeling chocolate.

Outdoorsy Wedding Cake
I was asked to make a cake for a party for a bride and groom who were married in Kamloops BC. The couple has family in Eastern Canada who were unable to go to the wedding. The bottom layer is chocolate, the top tier is carrot. All covered with buttercream icing. The mountains, trees and clouds are all modelling chocolate (handmade by me) and the figures are Sculpey also made by me. They were married on August 21, 2010 so I put the date on the marshmallows. The groom was married in a kilt so I incorporated that into the theme.

Ottawa Senators Hockey Cake
I thought I'd take it old school with the design since there are a lot of cakes out there with the "centurian figure". It's a 2 layer chocolate cake with a buttercream and cherry filling in between, covered in buttercream icing (all from scratch including the always difficult black icing - argh!!) The SENS lettering is also hand mixed black marshmallow fondant and of course the mini Stanley Cup for all you dreamers out there!!

Golf Cake
I made this cake for my dad's birthday. He's a huge golf fan! The cake and cupcakes are chocolate. The cupcakes are iced with milk chocolate icing and topped with marshmallow fondant accents. The cake is dirty iced with whipped buttercream and topped with marshmallow fondant. It is also decorated with buttercream icing. I've wanted to try an argyle pattern for a while so this seemed like a great cake to try it on. I wasn't 100% happy but then I guess sometimes we just never are. I would make more effort next time to map out the exact placement of the squares and I would also roll them out thinner.

Tinkerbell Doll Cake
My daughter loves Tinkerbell. For her 4th Birthday she asked for a Tinkerbell doll cake. Of course I searched high and low for a tinkebell doll and couldn't find one. In te end I used a Cinderella Barble instead. The cake itself is vanilla. I used 2 different cake pans for the shape of the dress. Actually the top layer was a glass pyrex bowl. I iced the whoe cake using green tinted buttercream icing and the star tip. It was my first atempt at a doll cake.
