I already know I'm gonna be snacking constantly over this holiday period, what about you? 😂

Just trying to ride the waves life is throwing at me today, so I'm posting this bad boy up in light of the occasion. 😅

Feeling like an oreo mcflurry but also trying to save. 🥺

So now I'm trying to curb the cravings by looking at all my photos of oreo cakes. 😅

Racing towards five!

Number cakes are so cute - I just can't make it for myself because I'm avoiding how old I really am. 🤪

🦕🦖 Funny that they have the exact emojis to represent the two dinos at the top of this cake. Just missing a triceratops! 🦕🦖

So our Internet just decided to stop working all the way until yesterday (when they finally got someone to come over and fix it after laughing at our situation 😭).

It's been a bit of a crazily stressful time, so thank you all for waiting patiently, especially for all those of you who are waiting on an invoice. 😅

Here's to hopefully only jolly things going forward - at least until the most magical time of the year! 🎄🎉

Flakes are still probably one of my favourite chocolates. 🤤

Fondant accents on the buttercream cake so you can just peel off the fondant if you don't like the taste of it. ☺

One of our cuties that went out today!

I quite like these fully intact sheet cakes. Gets the perks of a classic number cake design but doesn't have all the extra space cut off... Which means more cake for everyone! 😄

Chocolate sails are fun to make cause they all just end up coming out differently yet somehow always perfect. ☺

Handpainted Sally and patchwork designs on buttercream! 🥰 I had to pop the cake in the fridge every so often so that the buttercream would stay firm while I painted. It was definitely a lot harder than painting on fondant (which I've been testing in order to provide you guys even more options on possible decorations).

I followed Sheree from tutorial where she paints on her lovely fondant cakes!

I took so many photos of the cake only to realize that my reflection was visible on the "50" in over half of them. 🤦‍♀️

The mini oreos are just so cute! BUT, I find that the big oreos are way easier to crush apart when making my cookies and cream buttercream. So I guess I don't have a favourite. 🤔

Love it when you just click with a customer and can talk and joke around with them about the most random things!

Peep this cake that one of those said customers ordered! They traveled around 7 hours down South by car and made it in tip top condition!! (I was stressed the whole time until I was photos of their celebration 😂 Buttercream is delicate!!!)

P.s. This is a full bouquet on the two tier which took me a million years to wrap all the stems. 😅

Absolutely adorable two tier here! 😍 Honestly love that I get to reminisce about books and characters that I grew up with when I get orders like this one. 🙌

Mini engagement cake with rustic roses and gooey ganache. 🥰

It's actually quite sad knowing so many people who've had to cancel or postpone their weddings and other big celebrations throughout the course of these lockdowns, but the silver lining is having intimate bubble celebrations in the meantime!

So I bought a new craft knife to cut out the silhouette detailing for this cake and it made my life so much easier being able to glide right through the fondant than doing it with the knife I used to use.

It also glided right through my silicone mat though. 😅🙈 Do I have to avoid that section of the mat when rolling out fondant in the future? Yes. But was it fun cutting the silhouette out with a heavy hand? Also yes.

So it's funny how this works, but I never heard of Blippi until I got this cute cake order. BUT, right as I started planning for what the cake would look like, my youngest found Blippi and decided he really liked him cause he talks about dinosaurs, fossils and excavators. 😅

Have you guys heard of this show and what do you guys think about it?

I thought I still had the biggest sweet tooth, but turns out I can't devour the big lollipops in one sitting anymore. 🙃 I am now the person who puts it in a cup and in the fridge until I next remember it...

Guess I gotta pass the baton to the next generation like this kiddo who turned 9!

Airbrushed stenciling for a nice soft powdery look! I find that I really like the technique cause some people are very sensitive to traditional food colouring (especially the colour red it seems!), so this method reduces the need for it.

I received lovely constructive criticism that this isn't for everyone though, so I've worked on other methods to apply stenciling for those who want to achieve patterns but also want a different look!

Also want to take this opportunity to point out that I am really fortunate to have people who care enough to help me get better as a caker - it really means a lot to me and I'm excited to get even better! 💕

These two twins were side cakes to a blue beaut that I'll pop on here soon 🥰

Gooey ganache things 😍🤤

I know I typically just make buttercream cakes but I'm trying to perfect my ganache so I can have clean and sharp edges for those who don't like buttercream. ❤

The ratios for different types of chocolate to cream are all different though and I find I need a slight bit more chocolate when it's hot?? The more you know. 🤷‍♀️
