Waybuloo and Ni Hao Kai Lan Cakes

I had the opportunity to make 2 cakes for a double birthday party for 2 2-year-olds. A Waybuloo and a Ni Hao Kai Lan cake. It's amazing how time just flew right by. I made baby Izzy's 1 year old birthday cake last year and it felt like it was just yesterday! She had a Winnie the Pooh Honey Pot Cake last time and this time she wanted a Kai Lan cake. Just Kai Lan, no one else. When I heard I was to make a Waybuloo cake, I had no idea who Waybuloo were! I had to google!




Graduation Cake

This cake was for a 2010 graduate from Delta Seaquam High School

Pink Bow Present Cake

Customer wanted to re-order this same cake that she had at work for her girlfriend's birthday. The original cake was made by me as well. Only this time the cake was squared.

Lemon Yellow Wedding Cupcake Tower

These yummy lemon yellow cupcakes were the sequel to my Mayan-themed Wedding Shower Cake. Mother of the bride wanted some silver sparkles on them to kick them up a notch. I decided to throw in some fondant daisies with silver dragees to add a touch of elegance too. Very fun indeed.


Present Cake - 2nd time around

I made this cake a few months back and one of the party goer was also my client. This time she ordered the same cake but in square. I'm quite happy how to bow turned out this time though.

Prep Work for Vancouver's 1st Cupcake Challenge

Well, now that the challenge is over, I finally have time to sit down and post some of my prep pictures. I made 2 shirts, a total of 800 cupcakes, 4 4-gallon tubs of buttercream, and a decorated cake for door prize for this event, ribboned my cupcake stand and labeled my 50 cupcakes boxes. It was exhausting and fulfilling at the same time. I was up a total of 35 hours and my poor oven was on for close to 20 hours! I think at 1 point it was gonna die on me! LOL
