MMMMMM..... smells like SUGAR!

Is there any one thing that has the ability to mend a broken heart.... apologize....express appreciation.... commemorate milestones.... smell amazing???
YES! in a word.... FLOWERS
Although this post features the amazing art of molding and manipulating gum paste into intricate creations of nature, they still evoke similar emotions in all of us: wonder and awe...


Roses touch our romantic heart, with sentiment and tradition:



 Cascades of tropical florals or pedals leave there mark in a colorful and whimsical way:



Bunches and single floral stems create an eclectic and interesting way of incorporating several colors on the cake without it looking like a Jackson Pollock. Play with shades of your accent color as well as complimentary colors to get a well rounded and stunning composition:

Surroundings Inspire

As a BC girl and proud Vancouverite, as well as all the hype around moss and birch wood lately, I decided to feature some truly Westcoast inspired wedding cakes at the recent Lovestruck Bridal Show.
This trend of incorporating nature's inspirations will never go out of style!

My Cake in Wedding Bells Magazine!

Check this out!! My cake made it into WEDDING BELLS MAGAZINE "Canada's Prettiest Cake" segment. Here's the link to my cake - MY CAKE"This cake was designed for the little girl inside every bride who loves ruffles, glitter and all that is pretty. Intricate patterns of piping and fondant work were incorporated to pay homage to an antique time when over-embellishment was key." The cake was photographed by Kim Kayln. Check out her website AND the other cakes in the segment.

Cupcakes.

Most people will agree - nothing is cuter than cupcakes. Hence the term "cute as a cupcake", (and the pet name "cupcake"). Almost always, a cake order is accompanied by a large order of cupcakes, to match the cake. And no surprise here - they are always a hit. Whether they're red velvet with cream cheese icing, chocolate with mint chocolate chip icing, lemon, strawberry, coconut, or even just plain old vanilla, there is rarely a cupcake left over (much to the dismay of the bride). I already listed a few flavors of our cupcakes but the list goes on a and on. You name it, we'll make it. Not only are the flavor combinations endless, but the fondant topper list also goes on forever. Flowers of any description, butterflies, cats, dogs, letters, seashells, ANYTHING! Here's a few examples of our famous cupcakes.
