. I think this one was long to do because I had to make the labels ,change the wording to suit the occasion and print them ,then cut them all , plus the cigars had so many steps and components to them . I had to make cake for the cigars , cake for the box, ganache for both , Swiss meringue cream for the filling and icing of cake , wine reduction to make chocolate red wine cigar cake pops , dip them in melted chocolate then roll them in molding chocolate I made in various batches and colours to cover cigars ,the box , the lid and then made marshmallow fondant in blue to cover the cake cardboard base. I made ashes for the lit cigars from crushed Oreo cookies and icing sugar..... looks so real ! Then to assemble everything and make it look just right. So you see the process , the multitude of various components and steps is daunting for one baker especially when she is not a professional like me . I had to figure out how to join the lid to the cake and make it stay attached once I got to our destination , it was easier to transport the cake without the lid. All in all the lines could have been cleaner between the white and brown molding chocolate on the box lid but I am happy it turned out reasonably well. The flavours were ..... the humidor box ....... cafe latte cake with coffee Swiss meringue buttercream filling, covered in chocolate ganache and white and brown molding chocolate . The cigars are made of chocolate red wine cake and chocolate ganache with red wine reduction made into a long cake pop dipped in chocolate and covered on molding chocolate leaves to make the cigar realistic. I added white molding chocolate piping to the lid when I got to the destination .
Two buddies celebrating their birthdays the same month . One reaching the top / turning 65: the other being helped up by his friend with the help of the rope telling him to climb higher , he,s got a long way to catch up ! the fellow at the top had attempted the climb on Mount Everest in reality so the theme was extra special for him . The cake is several tiers of vanilla moscato cake with cream cheese butter cream and peach compote inside the layers and cream cheese buttercream frosting the whole mountain is then covered first in brown ganache then in white for the snow . The two men are made of modeling chocolate , the cloud should have been cotton candy but that wasn’t shredding well so I used a shredded cotton ball . Then later decided to add the other candles (51) and forget about the cloud that was hiding the (65) candles . Great cake , was delicious and super fun to do , especially the expressions on the guys faces.
This was a birthday cake for two special friends, I made a 3D pond with a waterfall on rocks and koi fish, frogs , a turtle, lilly pads etc. I sculpted everything and made the water with moscato wine jelly . The base cake was red velvet with cream cheese icing and the rocks were orange cake with chocolate ganache and chocolate coating . The frogs , Lilly pads and turtle are made of chocolate and the koi fish are sculpted out of chocolate marshmallow fondant . The small pebbles in the pond are candy coated chocolate and the only thing I bought at the bulk barn . A mouthful of different tastes and sensations . The inspiration came from the Oriental symbolism for Koi fish which is good luck , abundance , courage and love.

This was a birthday cake for a friend who was leaving for a trip to Hawaii , it’s a marshmallow fondant covered cake with chocolate accents and the greeting placed in a bottle floating in the ocean so as not to mess up the serenity of the cake. The mountain was a separate cake on a cakeboard so he got to keep that one and freeze it to have it when he got back from his trip .
