Congratulations John and Karen

Weddings, Weddings!  I think that because they are usually simple, but bigger they are some of my favourite "gigs" to do.  Planned well in Advance and such a happy time of life there is always so much FUN in the preparation that goes into it!  John and Karens wedding was no exception.  Karen had some great little wedding planners to help her along and make some decisions.  They are also great friends for life!  But the details came together.  Black with silver and "Rose City Kids" Green accents (RCK being a local children's ministry that she participates in).  Loved the choices and was excited to piece together.  Karen has so many favourite flavours that we had to do them all.  From tastes of Lemon, Red Velvet, Chocolate, Coffee and of course Vanilla the palette was sure to be satisfied!  
Congratulations John and Karen! Your a beautiful couple inside and out! 


Happy Birthday Jack!

Jack was turning one and his mom wanted a cake he would LOVE!  Like many little dudes his age Thomas the Train is one of the FIRST things they just cant get enough of.  So we needed a cake that would be a) practical (Pull away Cupcakes) and b) boasted the Theme of his Favourite Character!

I haven't even made Thomas on such a big scale before, so getting as many little details in as possible was a lot of fun! Enjoy a look at what we came up with! I hope Jack enjoyed and that the day was a great celebration!




Bride To Be

I cant count on all my fingers and toes how often I say "I always love a new challenge".  So it applies this post as well.  I would suspect that as long as I am doing cakes/cupcakes or just alive even, I will have a new challenge ahead.  People: Particularly a Bride on this cake; Not as easy as you think.  I bought a tutorial, spent some time searching the web and then just "Went For It".  I have to admit I have seen MUCH better people done by many amazing sugar artists,  but for my first, I was some what satisfied on how she turned out.  Again, far from perfect, but at least recognizable! She, along with her gifts circled a 3 layer Red Velvet & Cream Cheese Cake.   As always fun was had! I have began to learn the new skill of ppl and will continue to work on it.  Thank you to the Brides Mother in Law for this cool request! I hope it was enjoyed the shower was a hit!
