It’s time to talk about my birthday cake for this year! Even though this year was a big birthday number for me (that shall not be named, how dare you), I actually needed to keep my cake relatively quick and simple instead of going all out. For the first time that I can remember, Thanksgiving […]

I may have had a bit of an influence on my niece when it came to her birthday cake selection this year. To be fair, we did talk about a few other options, including a Lemon Meringue Mega Cake, so that shows you right there I was trying to be unbiased (I hate citrus desserts!). […]

Does this cake look familiar? My niece’s request for her birthday cake this year was awfully similar to last year, with one exception: WINGS. Did you know a Unicorn with wings was called an Alicorn?

Do you remember the book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? I totally remember reading this as a kid, and it still holds up today, because it’s one of my friend Francis Levi’s favourite books! Francis’ mom, my friend Nicole, asked me to make a Brown Bear cake for his 2nd birthday party […]

My little niece Rebecca is getting so big and turned 5 at the end of December! For her birthday cake this year, she asked for a Unicorn Cake for her birthday party with her friends {*tear*}. I still think of her as the baby of the bunch (she’s the youngest cousin), so it was kind […]

My favourite thing to bake lately has been cute little 6″ birthday cakes. This is no doubt due to the endless cake decorating videos I’ve been watching on Instagram (faves: @chelsweets, @whippedcakeco, @bakingwithblondie, @karleeskupcakes). Making mini versions has been a great way to practice a few specific things (i.e. using a bench scraper to get smooth […]

When my nephew started telling me that he wanted Krabby Patty Cupcakes for his birthday this year, I had no idea what he was talking about. I looked to my brother for guidance and his explanation started with “Well, you know how Spongebob is a fry cook?” and the answer to that was a resounding no, as […]
