The Katrina Cake

A dear friend married her sweetheart and I was lucky enough to design her cake, Carte Blanche. It was an outdoor wedding at her family cottage therefore the Homage to Cottage which this cake became. They are both artful people and I knew I could do something a little out of the ordinary for them.

Enter 'The Katrina Cake'.

Cottage Blue with Summer Orange flowers, whimsical trees and a single monarch butterfly which Trina and I used to go hunting for when we were little girls.

Flavours:
Bottom tier: Chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream
Top tier: Vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream

The Melissa Cake


Such a simple yet gorgeous cake! One of my favourites, for sure.

I loved working with this bride and groom! The bride is a long-time friend who is very crafty and creative. Their wedding conveyed their whimsical style. My first "out-of'-town" cake took me 3.5 hours to Peterborough, ON.

I incorporated the design from the RSVP card into the piped Juniper Green royal icing on the cake with a few leaves to tie in the wedding invitation design. The purple ribbon adds in their accent colour nicely. A perfect harmony of the wedding colours and graphic design! The fluted silver cup is a family heirloom which is usually a cake topper, we decided to change things up a bit!


Top, middle and bottom tiers: Marble cake with vanilla buttercream

A School of Fish

Margaritaville

Well, I had a bit of extra dough and icing and so I whipped these cookies up for my hubby's colleagues. These margaritas wouldn't be complete without a salted rim (well actually it was sugar....it looked like salt though)!
