This was a cake made for an 11 year old boy whose favourite computer game is Skylanders. This is one of the characters from the game, the Eruptor. It's the first cake I've made using an internal structure as the bones for the cake. The arms and legs were made using rice krispies.

This cake was made for my sister-in-law's 60th birthday. The design was borrowed from Peecheekeeno who made this cake for a wedding in 2010. I loved it at first sight and wanted the challenge. Tried some new techniques for the first time. Thanks for looking.

Totally edible. Got the idea from a porcelain wall hanging and wanted to see what I could come up with. Made using 50/50 gumpaste and fondant. Thanks for looking.
A few firsts on this cake. Not all of them successful. I tried marbling fondant, my first figure, and I tried a topsy/turvy cake. Humidity caused a lot of problems, so I had to improvise quite a bit. But, my friend, who had requested the cake for her son absolutely loved it. The idea was to have her son, who is a goalie sitting on a glacier. He's a great fan of the LA Kings, thus the crown. I couldn't fit the goalies net on the top so had to put it on the side. Then, of course, a glacier needs a polar bear, my first animal figure. And, of course, the Canadian maple leaf as we're from the Great White North! Her son, who is 19, was very surprised and absolutely loved the cake as well. I learned a lot from this cake, and was pleased they enjoyed it. The cake was a decadent chocolate, chocolate chip with vanilla buttercream.
My eldest brother was turning 60 on January 1st, so I wanted to do something special for his party. I borrowed this idea from one of Collette Peters' books. I didn't have all of the equipment needed so I changed a few things. It was the first time I made such a large cake, so it was a learning experience for me. I was pretty happy about the way it turned out. The bottom layer was a dummy, and the top 3 layers were different kinds of cake.
A friend wanted me to create a cake for her 1 year old boy's birthday with circles on it. I made a small one for her to take to a professional photographer where the little one would literally smash the cake and get right into it with his hands. A larger similar one was made for the family gathering. Both were rainbow cakes - multiple coloured layers of batter.
My young niece told me she wanted a ballerina cake. This is the end result.
My young niece's birthday cake. My first attempt at a small wacky cake. Pink and orange are her favourite colors.
This was a birthday cake for a 13 year old in the spring. I had just purchased the giant cupcake mold and wanted to try it.
My second attempt at a sculpted cake.
Small bouquet of 3 different coloured orchids.
A rose bouquet.
A bride wanted to taste test some of my favourite recipies for her wedding cake so I decided to take advantage of the situation, and offered to make 3 cakes which would also showcase my talents. This first one was made out of Red Velvet with vanilla buttercream and fondant. I made a gumpaste rose bouquet with small butterflies then tied it into the cake using butterflies on the sides of the cake, and a small cake topper.
I recently took a night course on getting to know your new Digital SLR camera - yes, you really are smarter than it is. We decided to have a little party on our last day, so I took advantage of the opportunity to test my skills. First time I made a 3D cake, using my own camera as my model. Took some time and a lot of patience, but the positive comments from my classmates made it well worth the effort.
For an outdoor wedding. Couple loves nature. Gumpaste bouquets reflect the bridal bouquet flowers. Bride has a special relationship with dragonflies. Wanted an elegant but outdoorsy cake.
