how do YOU get to work?

Fancy motorcycle perhaps?

Monster trucks?

Personally, I favor my submarine.

My yellow submarine.

Where we all live :)

the variety cake show

Here's a couple of cakes that were ordered for various parties, a wedding, a wedding shower...you get the idea. Nice sophisticated cakes suitable for any event really...

All three are very different as well. The first is finished in chocolate ganache. Ganache is some nice dark chocolate, melted and whisked with whip cream. You let it set up in the cooler then when you are ready to use it you whip it up.

So divine....

The second and third are both done in fondant, the first showing off some spectacular gum paste roses, the last showing off some lacy cutouts.

variations on a theme...

Same cake, same Cohen.
I got half way through the first one until it dawned on me I was doing the wrong design. Figured I would at least finish it and take a photo...
Then redo it all...
1st birthday style this time...
Sigh.
At least they are both cute!

prettiness

Just a quick blog today, must get down to Toad Hall to get something for my darling daughters birthday (5!!). Wowza. Nothing like kids growing to make you feel old...

Anyway, nice party cake, swirls, flowers, I believe it was for a wedding shower. Very sophisticated :)

critter town

I don't have much to say and you may just be here for the pretty pictures, so I'll try not to ramble on...As I was sorting through my photos to see what cakes I want to blog about, I noticed a trend among the latest couple of batches. Four (and six) (and eight) legged creatures. Seems to be a theme lately. That along with the ever-so-talented Justin Beiber...
I'll save that for another day...

happy holidays!

Here's my little family decorating our Christmas tree.

I remember a couple of years ago when Claire was just a baby, feeling as though that year should have been so special. But we were over tired, nursing a new babe, sure the events and family festivities were great, but all we wanted from Santa was sleep.
This year?
Well, I'm still asking for sleep, but now it's self-induced sleep deprivation :) This year I am so excited as the girls have grown a little and now will really be excited for Santa. That's so fun. I know they will simply squeal with delight tomorrow morning, and I couldn't ask for more for Christmas.
All the best to you, your families, loved ones and friends.With all the hustle and bustle, remember to take time to reflect, give thanks and of course, eat cake!
Merry Christmas!
