Tiny C-cakes for a tiny birthday princess

 These are mini red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese icing and glittery flowers. Made for a birthday party for a small princess :) She had a tangled theme for her party.

For these princess cakes (and future flower endeavors) I bought a flower making kit. These were made using the blossom cut & press set. Then I painted them with food paste and water and painted on some edible shimmer :)

Red Velvet Trial 2



 So this was the second time I tried making red velvet cake. It turned out SO much better than the first time. They were so moist and tastey! With a little cream cheese icing on top! DE-LISH!

I still don't think I fully understand red velvet cake. But they were pretty good, I must say :) I am very happy with the way they turned out. Very pleased with the recipe :)


                                              All lined up. Like an army of tiny c-cakes!

Baby Shower! It's a !!!....




It's a BOY!!!  Hehehe, baby showers are always so fun. This is only the second baby shower that I've caked for. I researched what others have done for baby showers and made these lil guys. <3


They were a LOT of fun to make! and so super cute.



They were for a special lady in the pharmacy who is expecting :) I hope she liked them and I wish her nothing but the best with her new bundle of joy :)

Love bites :)



 ahah I think that the title of this post pretty well sums it all up.
They're cute, they look like love, and they were made with love <3
Ergo: Love bites ;)




These were made as an initial experiment with cake pops sans sticks. I ended up giving some to my dad when we met for dinner, and I gave one to the best lady I know <3 A Miss G. Milling.

Fancy pops and Lindt cookies



I had an order for 1 dozen white chocolate and 1 dozen milk chocolate pops along with some Lindt chocolate cookies! :) I thought these pops looked very fancy <3 and later found  out they were for a party! I used some bags I originally purchased for Valentines day, contributing to the fancy. :) haha

 I had hit a bit of a road block for photographing cookies here. In comparison to pops and C-cakes,  most cookies are kind of boring to look at.  They were yummy though, despite the lack of photos. ahah

Specialty Pop






 BEEP BEEP!

Somebody asked me if I could make a cake pop shaped like a VW beetle. And I thought...H'oh my god are you serious?!?! ahah And then I asked her what colour? I accepted the challenge. :)

I told her I would try it out, and see what happens :)

While this beetle cake pop took quite some time, I am SO happy with the outcome! Since it was only a first try there are some things that I would do differently in future. For instance, I tried to shape a space for the tires while the chocolate was still wet..it did not go well. On one side it got a little rough. All in all not a bad experiment. :D



hehe, this is my favorite  part! :D






I'm such a dork!  ;)

Rainbow pops with a side of C-cakes..for kids!

 I <3 Cake pops!! They are seriously my new absolute favorite things to make. There are SO many possibilities!!

Packaged pops all in a row

I was asked for 3 dozen cake pops for a bowling alley function in Bancroft. Rainbow pops! Kids are fun, and kids are certainly colourful! :) AND this way they got to chose their favorite colour to enjoy. (Also I <3 rainbows aha)

Basketball pops!


I was asked if I could make cake pops for a basketball tournament. Of course instantly basketball pops come to mind :)

It took me a little while to really wrap my head around how the lines fit on the balls, but got it eventually :) I painted the lines on using food colouring paste mixed with water. It was a lot of fun and exciting to see them all lined up :)




Wrapped and ready to be delivered. Delivery is always my favorite part. I love to see the smiles!!! I was told they were a huge hit with the kids :)

**On a side note** I was asked about peanut allergies (it has come up before) and so I did some research. The candy melts that I use and most other candy melts are all made in factories where peanuts may come into contact with the product. I read some forums about peanut free melts and they typically say that there are SOME candy wafers that are peanut free but only in white and brown. Not really colourful. I also read that you can add colour to the chocolate when its melted, but in my experience when adding anything to tempered chocolate you run a high risk of it seizing :( I'm going to keep looking around for  peanut free products and keep you posted.

Better than chocolate chip cookies!

 LINDT chocolate cookies!!!! No further explanation needed I suppose . .. :)
