Exciting news

I'm a member of CakesCanada.com and frequent the forums there on a regular basis. Every couple of months they hold a competition called Showcase where members can enter pictures of their cakes for other members to vote on. This month they extended the contest to include a draw. Nine winners will recieve 2 buckets of Satin Ice fondant and then create a Kids' Cake with their fondant to be judged for the grand prize. Well I was one of the first two winners in the draw! I'm super excited!!

... I've ordered fondant from the people sponsoring the prize for this event and when I sent my contact info to Levon at La Gaterie, he included a picture of my Chanel cake on the website. You can view the site here

New pictures will be coming next week...

I ♥ my new logo - thanks honey!

Bought some new cutters and a cupcake stand. Should recieve them in the mail soon. Can't wait!

Doing a second cake next weekend. It's a cupcake cake for an 11 year old who likes dogs and the colour purple. Should be fun! Chocolate and strawberry cupcakes with SMBC.

Recipes that I like

  • Hershey's Black Magic Cake A great moist chocolate cake recipe that isn't too sweet and easy to make
  • Chocolate Banana Cake An awesome low-fat cake recipe. If I'm making it to decorate I'll often use a different chocolate cake recipe and make 1-2 layers of the banana cake. I use a low-fat cream cheese - chocolate icing (rather than the ricotta)
  • Martha's Swiss Meringue Buttercream I love using my Pink Kitchenaid mixer to make this buttercream. It tastes amazing and I wouldn't survive without it. I add flavoring to this recipe to make different types of filling
