The KAT Cake

The theme was daisies!

I came up with this 3-tier beauty incorporating the theme in fresh white wired daisies as well as the wedding colour in a satin ribbon. The ribbon broke up the white with a jazz of colour. A perfect combination for "tying the knot"!

Top Tier 6" - marble with vanilla buttercream
Middle Tier 10" - chocolate with vanilla buttercream
Bottom Tier 14" - vanilla with vanilla buttercream

Mel's Bridal Shower


It was a lingerie theme, so I figured swimsuits were just "fitting"!

These cookies are great favours for a party and always a hit with the ladies!

The JENNIFER Cake




Another gorgeous chocolate fondant wedding cake. This one trimmed in fuschia satin ribbon and fuschia mini gerbera daisies. Each fresh daisy was individually wired and strategically placed.

Top Tier 6" - vanilla with vanilla buttercream
Middle Tier 10" - chocolate with chocolate mousse
Bottom Tier 14" - vanilla with white chocolate strawberry ganache and fresh strawberries.
(note: I made a smaller duplicate of the bottom tier, it tasted exactly like strawberry shortcake!)

The SARAH Cake

MY FIRST WEDDING CAKE...it was for my own wedding (hence the name). I felt as I had an unspoken obligation to make a cake for our wedding which was entirely "us". After much research and investigation, I came across a piece of fabric in my studio. At that very moment, I knew it was going to be perfect!

If a piece of fabric could have a definition, it was all about me. That's when the love affair with our wedding cake began! It was as though the ideas just came to me and I knew exactly the methods which I would use. (Of course, with some much needed help from my "cake mentor", Jean). I recreated the fine flower details on the fabric in the way of three dimensional wire flowers with silver glass beading and curly sprays.

It was the first time I would try to make fondant icing from scratch, and chocolate fondant at that. The stress of it all was incredible seeing as if it "didn't work out", we wouldn't have a wedding cake! I kept my faith close the whole time, and of course, as my husband would say, "Of course it worked out!".

Tier Flavours:
Top Tier 6" - vanilla with vanilla buttercream
Middle Tier 10" - butter pecan with vanilla buttercream
Bottom Tier 12" - vanilla with strawberry mouse buttercream

The BABY Cakes

These cakes were a surprise for a baby shower I was attending. The carriage was to replicate the carriage image on the invitation I received and the other was to work with the baby room's theme, sheep! Both were a hit and much appreciated by everyone!
