For Pride 2019
For my friend Alison whose twins just graduated from high school. They are 18 so there had to be 18 books! It was our first time doing a gravity defying cake. Note to self: Next time remember to cover up the hardware at the back as well as the front. Initially we forgot to put supports between the cakes so the bottom cakes got squished :(
Made for a 50th, favorite team, the Montreal Canadiens. Everything except the lights and skewers holding up the jumbotron is edible.
Cake made to celebrate the long and frustrating but ultimately successful journey of getting visa. The toast represents a joke where one unhelpful lawyer told them "you are toast!"
Made for another work potluck
Made for work, Halloween 2018
Made for my friend's son's 3.75 mid-way birthday celebration.
No more wedding cakes for “friends of friends” ever.
A friends 25th wedding anniversary. Figured a 25th shouldn’t just have one cake, it should have 25. Bad. Move. Each little cake represents a special memory.
For a friends fathers 70th, he makes acoustic guitars
Made for Halloween work potluck last year
Made for my Dad’s 70th because we bond through backgammon!
Made for my niece Bella's tenth birthday. Trying out the idea of a diorama - much more room for sugar stuff.
Made this for my Mum's birthday. The granny figurine is from a tutorial by the awesome Carlos Lischetti .
I call this my froufrou-blingbling cake. It was made for a raffle for my niece's dance group. The winner was having a birthday party for her Mum that night and had run out of time to make a cake, so it worked out perfectly. I was inspired by cakes from Faye Cayhill and Paul Bradford and this gave me a chance to try their techniques. I really liked the way the wafer paper feathers reflect in the cake board.
This was hard! Working in a new country and the humidity killed me. Note to self - don't leave edible images sitting overnight in a warm rainy climate.
Made for a school raffle. Trying out my new fishnet cake lace mat, figuring out how to make gelatin balls gold, and spending a lot of time with a hexagon cutter.
Made for a girl who always has a frangipani in her hair. First crack at oriental stringwork - more broken strings than unbroken!
Made for a friend's son, turning one and never gets tired of all things tyre.
Was inspired by a Lori Hutchinson class, so tried to make a cake based on my own wedding dress. Was a disaster. Fondant cracked, dented, air bubbles, and elephant skin. Was embarrassed to give it away. Fortunately underexposing the photo shot hides a lot of the mistakes. I learned a couple of new things though - how to paint with luster dust and that orange extract works as well as lemon extract (for when you drop the lemon extract bottle on tile floor, you know).
Made for a friend's daughter who loved the Chip and Dale western theme at Disneyland
For fun for the folks at work (because insurance is boring); same sex robots because I can't do real people (no one got the robots, they just thought I was weird); colored cakes inside, flavored (except for the green one, something about the food coloring or lime flavor caused the cake to be undercooked every single time - I went through three attempts); the last picture is dead robots - they didn't make the cut - too many limbs lost; left a trail of fondant chaos in my wake. First three tier cake!
For a friend at work who was proposing to his girlfriend. A lot of firsts for me - gelatin bubbles, cake lace, working with isomalt, using buttercream, and making a two-tiered cake. He had to transport it into the mountains, so hopefully it made it in one piece...and that she said yes!
Made for my workmates
