My second ever wedding cake was featured at a reception at the Botanical gardens at U.B.C. Pretty heady locale wouldn't you say. As always I was a nervous wreck getting the cake there and there were some small issues but, as you can see, the final result was a success. The cake was a lemon cake with buttercream icing and filling, topped with raspberries and blueberries.
My wife's Nana just turned 99. Such a milestone deserves a nice cake. I thought she would love a crocheted cake. Cake is alternating levels of chocolate and vanilla cake with buttercream icing.
Another pirate theme for Larry the Cake Guy, only this time its cupcakes. Two dozen cupcakes, half chocolate, half vanilla with fondant pirate faces for a boy's 6th birthday.
A cake for a friend's son's birthday. She cracked me up because she said it was supposed to be a Stanley Cup cake ....but something went horribly, horribly wrong. If you're from the Vancouver area or follow hockey at all you will know what she means. Cake is chocolate fudge with raspberry filling
The real bonus to having a husband that's a cake decorator is that you know your birthday cake will always be memorable. Needless to say, my wife is a coffee fanatic. This is a butter pecan cake with mocha buttercream icing. In the big Starbuck's mug the "coffee" is chocolate fondant. The small cups are butter pecan cupcakes wrapped in fondant with mocha buttercream "coffee", fondant flowers and buttercream vines. All the "whip cream" is buttercream icing.
Arrrrrrrrr, gather round ye scurvy dogs and feast your eyes on me birthday cake! (sorry I couldn't resist). What better for a little boy's 6th birthday than a pirate theme?
