With a recipient moving to Georgia the theme of the party was of course “Leaving On A Midnight Train To Georgia” and what better cake fits that theme than the Soul Train. We started off with a quarter sheet amaretto cake (a relatively new flavour we’ve developed that seems to be gaining in popularity) filled [...]

This cake stood at 13″ tall, that’s pretty hefty for it’s 8″ diameter even though it still wasn’t completely in proportion to perfectly match the 16oz can we were replicating. Any taller though and it would have been dying to teeter over during transportation. It was a little scary carrying this one about due to [...]

No, the zombies aren’t here yet, but this brain is definitely the tastiest I’ve come across! It’s a butter cake with raspberry jam between the layers (perfect for that gory look). We covered the cake with a base layer of black fondant and then built up the brain design on top with coils of fondant. [...]

Remember yesterday’s Wedding cake? This is the utterly awesome Groom’s cake that went with it. Red velvet with cream cheese icing he is what we’re calling a “character cake” mostly flat with some shape and relief built up, out of both cake and fondant.

I’ve written about the beginnings of hot cross buns in the past so I won’t bore you with all of that again. They are, I think, my favourite treat at this time of year. The light flavour of spices, not as bold as in the wintertime with gingerbread, but enough to give a little warmth. [...]

St Patrick’s Day is next week (17th) and time is running short to get your goodies for the celebrations. We’ve been experimenting and we’ve very happy to be able to offer these Irish Car Bomb cupcakes. Now, my idea of fun is not a drink that has to be downed before it curdles, no thank you [...]

*** UPDATE*** – moving this post back up to the top for greater King Cake awareness. *grins* +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+ It’s January again, Epiphany has passed and it’s King Cake, sorry, Mardi Gras season. *grins* Though I do tend to think if it more as King Cake season. The end of the season – Mardi Gras day [...]
