A "passed out" Wedding Cake




This is my third wedding cake , second this month. The bride specifically requested the fondant figures of a passed out bride and groom. The wine bottles are plastic but everything else is edible. Cake is red velvet with raspberry filling on the top and bottom levels and chocolate filling on the middle level.

Louis Vuitton, the sequel.


Last week, as you know if you follow this blog,  I did a Louis Vuitton cake for my daughter's 19th birthday. In less than a week it brought me this cake. A different color scheme and a purse added but otherwise the same cake. I actually tried to say no to this cake as I was working on a wedding cake this week, but some ladies can be very persistent.

A Louis Vuitton Birthday.


For my daughter's 19th birthday. This is probably the only way she will be able to say that her Dad ever gave her anything Louis Vuitton for her birthday. Cake is lemon with a lemon zest whipped cream filling.

Princess cake #2


This is my second request for the princess pillow cake, and I think I improved on it some this time. Let me know what you think. Everything is edible except the tiara.

Wedding Cake #2



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.

99th Birthday Crochet Cake

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.

Pirate Cupcakes

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.
