Women's Post Fashion Show

I have been so busy preparing for all my Halloween desserts this week, however I recieved an opportunity I could not turn down. I was asked to help cater a fashion show hosted by Women's Post on behalf of the Women of Baycrest. The show took place on Thursday October, 28 and was at the Capitol Event Theatre on Younge St downtown.

I created around 300 cake lollipops in three different flavours; chocolate, vanilla and carrot. The overwhelming response I recieved from them was amazing and greatly appreciated. I was so shocked that I ran out of my product in less than 2 hours (before the show actually began!)

This is my logo that was displayed as a sponsor on the website.

This is the set up I had that night!

I met a lot of great people last night who gave me a million compliments, so thank you once again.

50th anniversary cake

I was asked to make a cake for a 50th wedding anniversary this weekend. The customer gave me creative freedom on the cake design but seeing how it was such an important milestone, I chose to go the classy route.

I created four sugar roses painted with edible 10 kt gold and gold leaves to match. The cakes flavours were chocolate with vanilla buttercream, and vanilla with vanilla buttercream.

IRON CUPCAKE: Toronto (Halloween)

Today I competed in my first ever cupcake competition. It was called Iron Cupcake and put on by a cupcake shop downtown called "For The Love of Cake." I was not sure what to expect, seeing as how this was my first competition ever, so I went the simple, yet classic route and created a pumpkin cupcake with cream cheese frosting.

We were able to set up a display showcasing our inspiration with a large version of our "mini cupcakes." I decided on a fall theme, to showcase the pumpkin flavour, while others focused more on the Halloween aspect.

These are my cupcakes for the display, with an orange fondant pumpkin.

I was amongst some amazing competition when it came to the display aspect of the competition...Here are some pictures of the fierce competitors.

Baby Shower Cupcakes

I received an order for baby shower cupcakes for a baby boy. We decided on using a "tiffany blue" colour pallette, so the design came out to be blue gerbera daisies with white centres on both the regular and mini sized cupcakes.

Three "special" cupcakes were also created for the top tier of the cupcake tower. Two were baby shower inspired with a baby bottle and bib, and the third was a yellow sunflower for a guest celebrating their birthday.

The flavours were vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream.

New and Exciting Information!

My apologies for not posting anything recently, I have been extremely busy with school and trying to promote the company further, however this month I have some exciting projects I will be sharing with you.

So stay tuned because this month I have a bratz cake, baby shower cupcakes, a full halloween dessert bar, and I entered a cupcake competition this coming weekend.

I should have some pictures posted throughout the week showcasing some of the projects I have lined up this week.
