It encourages me even more to push myself beyond my limits, and gives me a great sense of pride that there are more younger people rising up to start their own business. It was so great to work on this cake for a young man who has his own housing business. And only at the age of 25, I say that's success!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The sister ordered the cake from me and requested a figure model made out to be like him, in his normal everyday work clothes. Perfect! And then the cake should resemble a house, naturally. So this cake was so much fun to work on! </span><br />

you ever heard that song from Toni Braxton called "Spanish Guitar?" It
is so beautiful, and the guitar in that song is so soothing. That's when
I fell in love with this melodious sound. This was my first guitar cake
and I am very pleased with it. A lovely wifey ordered it as a surprise
for her husband who loves playing his guitar so I mimicked the guitar he
plays at home. Enjoy listening to some of this instrument today :)</span></span></div>

is a Hello Kitty cake I made for a friend of mine. It was presented
actually at her own wedding, but she was kind enough to remember her
little sister's birthday and requested a personalized cake for her. How
incredibly sweet! This was my first time making Hello Kitty, and it was
fully inspired by Lesley from <a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=209649385723036&extragetparams=%7B%22group_id%22%3A0%7D" href="https://www.facebook.com/theroyalbakery?group_id=0">Royal Bakery</a>.

And this will be a special blog post, because it is for a special couple very dear to my heart. I had the absolute honour and privilege of making my baby brother's wedding cake. <span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption">They
are such a special and unique couple, and this cake truly reflects the
elegance of their union together. </span></span></div>

<div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
<span class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" id="fbPhotoSnowliftCaption" tabindex="0"><span class="hasCaption">This is a 4 tiered wedding cake, hand
made gumpaste calla lilies cascading down, and hand made robot bride and
groom toppers. When they first met, Danny & Sara were the "wingmen"
for their friends who were hooking up, and so they ended up doing the
robot together on the dance floor. And from then on started a beautiful
relationship. </span></span></div>

She is my longest friend, and one of my truest friends ever. Over the past 17 years of our friendship, you can only imagine what we have been through together. Lots of ups and downs, but memories to last a lifetime. I am so glad I have her by my side after all these years. So it was an honour and privilege to make a special cake for her birthday.<br />
<br />
Ruby, is slightly delusional though. Somewhere along the years she had this misconception that she was a princess. Wherever we go, somehow she got her way into doing what she wanted to do. I don't even know why or how she gets away with it, she just does. She takes forever to get ready. I mean, we should have learned this by now, but when she says she'll be ready in 15 minutes, why are we arriving at her house in 15 minutes knowing she is going to make us wait another 15 to 30 minutes while she gets ready? I don't know! But we still do it. Why does Tanya always need to peel the shell off the shrimp before Ruby can eat it? Can't she do it herself? Yet we still never argue. Because it's Ruby. And Ruby is a princess.<br />
<br />
I really wanted to give the Chevron pattern a go. It's such a unique pattern, and I saw a tutorial from MyCakeSchool.com which I wanted to try. As time consuming as I knew it would be, I figured, why not for Ruby. I really enjoyed that tutorial, but boy was that a lot of work! Getting these lines to match up with the other is not an easy task but when it's on the cake, it's just gorgeous! I needed something for the top tier and already knew what it would be. I chose to do a silhouette of a princess, crown and all. Nothing less would do for her.<br />
<br />
And do top it off, I added a beautiful open peony flower.<br />
<br />

<br />
It turned out just beautifully!! And perfect for one of my besties. It made her so happy which made all that hard work worth it. She is a gem :)<br />
<br />
Here we are. Ruby I love you to death, I feel like we're married to each other. For better or worse is what I always remind myself with you lol! Even tho sometimes I really would like to take my head and bang in against a wall after a long conversation with you, I still wouldn't change it for the world. You're a great woman and mother and I love you so much.<br />

They come, serve a purpose whether good or bad, and then they leave. I've had so many of those come and go in my life. You learn something new through each new friendship you make. Valuable lessons for sure. However I believe there are some friends God has placed in our lives to last a lifetime. This girl is one of them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This post is dedicated to Tanya. She and I met when we were 15 years old in high school. Grade 9 History to be exact! We connected right away. And throughout the years we've had so many ups and downs, but nothing big enough to separate us. Our friendship has only grown with each new day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So, I got to thinking what to make as her birthday cake. I already knew it had to be chocolate. This girl is a chocolate nut. Sorry, DARK chocolate nut. Can't give her anything else. So I whipped up my ultra moist chocolate cake and frosted it with my rich creamy chocolate frosting. HEAVEN!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Another first for this cake is the Damask stencil. Ok so I was pacing up and down my kitchen for at least 10 minutes before actually putting this stencil on. I was totally freaking out because, I was putting black on white! One mistake and there will be a stain for sure, and I wasn't about to present her a cake with any stain. Finally I mustered the courage to approach my cake with spatula in one hand, stencil in the other and said "Let's do this."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I think I nearly cried when I saw the finished look.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-egHWPJg1jPE/UH2-t_SauUI/AAAAAAAAArA/Rk5FfRauiVQ/s1600/191446_464648133579572_1219051104_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-egHWPJg1jPE/UH2-t_SauUI/AAAAAAAAArA/Rk5FfRauiVQ/s320/191446_464648133579572_1219051104_o.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The damask design is my favourite pattern (hence why it's in my logo). I had to do something unique and special for this girl. Stuck with her for life! So I won't hear the end of it if it sucked lol!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I made the blue dahlia out of gumpaste. Super easy to do! I hope to do a tutorial on that very soon :)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happy Birthday Tanya. Thanks for being so awesome and putting up with all the lovely nonsense I throw your way. <3</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here we are, she's on the right. Isn't she gorg? Love you girl xoxo</span><br />

I need music in my life, at all times of the day and during the many different things I do. And it's been this way for as long as I can remember. Maybe this is due to the forced piano lessons my mom would drag me to every week. However through my learning to play the piano, I really began to appreciate music. I listen to music at work everywhere. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was so pleased to be able to make this cake for another girl who is just into music as I am. For her, her love was the piano. And really, I just love the beautiful melodies a piano makes. I really enjoyed making this cake for her, I made sure I captured the art of the instrument as best as I could.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />Not only was this my first piano inspired cake, it was also my first topsy turvy cake! Was I nervous? Heck yeah! But after watching too many youtube videos and reading all about to construct this cake, I was ready for the challenge. And boy was I ever happy! It turned out great, and it was stable. It met all the check points!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And for her Sweet 16th, I added them as her topper, kinda sorta shaped as musical notes.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Happy Birthday Deborah! </span><br />

honoured to play a small role in celebrating her first year as a non-teen! Yep,
the big 2-0! So she ordered cupcakes from me first for a small get together with
her girlfriends. Her favourite, red velvet with cream cheese frosting.
Seriously, who hasn't marked this cake down as their favourite? And I added a “20”
topper to each, all bedazzled! Love the way it turned out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Her boyfriend ordered this cake from me, too cute right?? I
know! Love when a man orders for his lady. He requested something special for
her 20<sup>th</sup>, and asked to include 20 flowers to this cake. So this is a
different spin on your traditional zebra striped cake, with flowers surrounding
her name. It looks quite lovely, and she deserves nothing less. </span><br />

Honestly, I didn't think this day would come THIS fast! But the days are zooming by and it's happening. My little brother is getting married *tear*.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I couldn't be more happy for him. He is a wonderful man who has his head on straight. He is seriously one of a kind so I know the girl he chose for him would have to be equally as good or better (but I didn't think she'd actually BE better you know)?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I was wrong.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />I love Sara. This girl is already part of our family and I couldn't be more happy for the BOTH of them. They truly fit each other like two pieces of a puzzle. They fit perfectly together. Why am I tearing up writing this? Gah! But seriously, isn't she a beauty? This is her on her bridal shower day, after the gifts were opened. Her bridesmaids had the greatest idea of collecting all the tissue paper from the gifts, stringing them together and making a cute skirt for her. She is lovely!</span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Moving on. I had the honour of making her bridal shower cake. They are simple, but their taste is exquisite. She wanted cherry blossoms but let me have free reign on the actual design (which I love by the way) I'm glad she trusted me! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After I had finished making this cake, it just didn't seem complete to me. Something was missing and I was trying to figure out what it was. And then it came to me, I added the two blue love birds to the cake, which matched the birds on their wedding invitation. Right away I fell in love! I was really pleased with the way it turned out.</span><br />

So we all know that zebra print is so in, in fashion, wallpaper, and in cakes! We've seen hundreds of zebra print designs all over the web, and I too have made a few myself. But the cool request about this particular order was, she wanted zebra print INSIDE the cake. WHAT? I know! I was like, that is so totally awesome! After a quick search on achieving that, I excitedly called her back letting her know this can be done! I was so excited to get started :D</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />The outside of the cake was the black and white zebra print with a beautiful bow to match and some bling. But I knew the real 'wow' factor would be when the guest cut inside the cake. I asked for her to please send me pictures once they do!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And I don't regret it one bit! This was a money shot and I'm glad I took it. Look how gorgeous those stripes turned out?

That's like, unheard of these days. My grandparents are truly a one of a kind couple though. I am not surprised that they have lasted this long. They were made for each other, and their love truly does grow more and more with each passing day. They still wake up early in the morning every single day and pray together. My heart just sinks into my chest thinking about how pure they are. We had family fly in from all over to surprise them for their anniversary. It was a beautiful celebration, and one I am so glad to have been a part of. I gave a special speech letting them know how much we as grandchildren appreciated them in our lives.<br />
<br />
This was a simple two tiered cake, lilac with white accents, topped with a beautiful sugar peony flower.<br />

All year I have been making tons of cakes for birthdays, baptisms, baby showers, etc., and had yet to make a wedding cake, until now! Had my first order to make a wedding cake, and it was far from simple! This was a 5 tier wedding cake! Needless to say, my nerves were racing! You just never know what to expect with these sort of things, and it being my first time I didn't know what hurdles I would have to face. Oh, there were hurdles! But with every one of them was a solution and the end result is one that I am proud of. The couple who ordered this cake were actually renewing their vows. They've been married for years and have children and grandchildren, but after lots of ups and downs in their marriage they decided to recommit their love to God and to the world. Honestly, that is so romantic!<div>
<br />The bottom two tiers of this cake were real cake. Vanilla on the bottom, and chocolate above. The rest of the tiers were fake per the couples request, and decked out with real roses. Royal icing was used for the piping on each tier except for the middle tier, which received a beautiful grid pattern accented with pearls. </div>
<div>
<br />All in all, best experience I've had so far, and looking forward to many many more!</div>

With Cars being the theme of his birthday, I wanted to create something fun for him. The cars are actually toys, because what kid wouldn't want to just snatch those cars up and play with them? I thought it best to buy the toys instead of modelling them for this cake. He was just thrilled to see his cake.</span><br />
