My whole life I have adored a lemon poppy seed cake.
I was never able to duplicate my Moms lemon poppy seed chiffon cake:(
This one is not a chiffon but it is so delicious!
I made it for some friends and used a rosette bundt pan.
My mouth is watering just thinking about it!!
My first ever fondant Tierra!
I was sooooo worried that it would not dry in time for delivery!
It did though:) And it held together!
So cute with yellow and pink roses and even a little pair of ballet slippers:)
Love it!
I decided to take a few last minute cookie orders for Valentines Day. I understand “last minute” – I do a lot of things that way!
A work in progress
My neighbour is pregnant with twins!! AH! lol:)
Every so often I make something for her to enjoy.
Nothing fancy – just something fun!
I was also contacted to make up some flower cupcake toppers for a baby shower. They turned out great!
I am pretty happy with these! If I were a 6 year old boy and got these for my birthday my head would explode!!
In the New Year my Husband, Deven, decided that he was no,longer going to eat wheat or dairy. He has been doing some reading on how these products can effect asthma, and being an asthmatic he though he would give it a go!
So – when it came to what to make him for a birthday cake I was a little unsure of what to do. Baking without dairy is a no brainer! Super easy! But I have not had the best track record with gluten free baking. Admittedly, I have not really ever put 100% into it but I have never had much of a reason to. Surprisingly it was much easier then I thought it would be.
I made a toasted almond, orange and coconut cake. It was delicious, moist and much enjoyed!
Happy Birthday honey!
XO
My Mom asked me to make her birthday cake for her this year.
Now usually and traditionally my Mom makes cake for EVERYONE and the cake she always makes is her famous chocolate oat cake.
It is delicious!
Always moist, lusciously dense, and loved by everyone who tries it. When she asked me to make it for her I told her that we should try something new.
We always have chocolate oat cake…. this year I wanted her to branch out a bit.
So – I gave her 2 options… an orange cake with a dark chocolate truffle icing OR an Italian caramel coconut cake.
She chose the later.
OH MY!
This cake was SO rich and SO sweet. Finishing one piece was a chore!!
It was very good but I doubt I will make it again just due to the sweetness factor.
The cake was the centre of much laughter that night.
Maybe next year I will stick with the chocolate oat cake:)
XOXO Momma!
Oh Minnie – how you are loved!
Minnie Mouse is such a fun theme for a little girls birthday party:)
This cake was done for a first birthday – with a little smash cake to match!
The Minnie on the larger cake was done by hand…an edible image transfer – my first one:)
This cake was done to match the bridal party colours.
Lilies drape the cake with the stamen matching the dresses – aqua!
WOWIE! September has been a busy month so far – and it’s not over yet!
With 3 orders still to come I thought I would share some of the cake creations that have been completed so far this month.
It has been so much fun (and a lot of hard work) getting these cakes on the go!
Keep checking back for more posts…..got some more good ones coming up:)
