Jack's Birthday

Jack loves anything to do with sharks, snakes, crocodiles and reptiles. His favourite colours are blue, red and green. In case you haven't guessed, Jack is 4 years old. Therefore, I decided to go ahead and make a shark cake for the birthday boy along with some embossed "crocodile" cookies for his loot bags.

Edible Logo

This cake was made for Connor who has now set off for Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia. The school's colours are black and gold and the cake contains the Dalhousie logo.

A New Addition

This beautiful white metal cupcake tree is the latest addition to Just Add Sugar. It can hold 40 - 70 cupcakes and is perfect for stylish gatherings and intimate weddings.

Character Cakes

When a customer came to me with two Wilton character cake pans, these are the designs I came up with for his son's and daughter's birthday cakes.

Crystal, it's your Birthday!

"It's your Birthday"

I made these vanilla cupcakes with strawberry-mint Swiss meringue buttercream for Crystal's 30th birthday. I snuck in an Eeyore just for the birthday girl.

Tie a Ribbon on it.

Imported Cupcake Wrappers

I was quite pleased to discover these beautiful cupcake wrappers from Vestli House. These high quality paper products are imported from Scandinavia and arrive in stylish little packages that display their beauty. Some of my favourite designs are "Elenor", "Madeleine" and "Hedda Purple." See them yourself at: www.vestlihouse.com

Meeting Anna Olson

Today I had the pleasure of meetting pastry chef Anna Olson while she was a guest of Cityline. I was fortunate enough to sit front row, centre! She was kind enough to sign her cookbooks for me and pose for a photo.

Spring has Sprung

These cupcakes have a spring theme. Lavender cream is hidden inside this vanilla cupcake which is topped with citrus cream cheese icing and garnished with lavender flowers.

Star Power!

This vanilla-vanilla cake was carved into the shape of a Guitar Hero guitar using the real thing as a template.

Pretty Party Cake

This pretty cake was made for Ella's baptism. This 6-inch cake atop an 8-inch cake is a modern alternative to traditional slab cakes.

Simple. Sweet.

"Thank You" Cupcakes

Nothing makes me happier than making other people happy. When you hand them a box full of cupcakes-they are absolutely surprised and thrilled. Cupcakes always manage to make people smile and that makes my day. My only complaint from customers: The cupcakes look too pretty to eat!

Edible Friendly Messages

The possibilities with cupcakes are endless. These cupcakes contain the friendly messages: "Best Wishes," "Just For You," and "Thinking of You." Messages such as "Have a Great Day" and "Happy Birthday" are other fun notes that can be added to cupcakes to make wonderful boxed gifts.

A Sight for Sore Eyes

Don't we wish it was flip flop weather? These party favors were made for a wedding shower that preceded a wedding in Cuba!

Happy Birthday Helen

This light and fluffy vanilla cake was layered with real whipped cream which was speckled with vanilla bean seeds.

 

A Cake for a Cyclist

This cake was carved to match the bicycle helmet of Jarek, my friend Rebecca's, husband. The inside of the cake consisted of layers of chocolate cake with Lindt chocolate buttercream.
