It’s been a while since I’ve posted but celebrations have continued during this time. It’s been extra difficult to find decor during this pandemic, so it’s been completely rewarding to be able to design it myself.
Below you will find our Christmas in July party decor. This year’s theme was “It’s Christmas, let’s flamingle!”
Mom also turned 70 recently and what better theme than the 70s.
Keep on creating!
Aarya was turning 7 and during the COVID19 pandemic it was hard for her to find decor that fit the theme, so I made her some toppers to go on her cake!
And here’s a picture of how she used them in her cake! So easy and so great because you can place them anywhere you want. No fuss, no muss!
Happy birthday Aaraya!
Keep baking!
The first cake of 2020 was a fun one.
Who wouldn’t want a cake that had donuts, sprinkles and chocolate drip? Inside was a sprinkle vanilla cake too! Top everything off with a gold glitter topper and this cake is perfect for anyone.
Keep baking!
This hot pink drip cake was made for a special lady turning 60. Inside was a vanilla sponge cake with vanilla buttercream and fresh strawberries. White chocolate was used as the drip and then hand painted gold for an extra pop of colour. Macarons and sugar flowers adorn the cake. As well as the gold glitter topper.
Dehvan turned 5 and loves Power Rangers Dino Charge. This year I couldn’t make his cake so my client asked for cookies on sticks so that she could put them in the cake herself as decor.
It was a lot harder than I thought to make sugar cookies on sticks that didn’t fall off! But I did it! All the cookies were decorated with royal icing.
Dehvan also wanted a glittery cake topper like his sister had for her birthday so I made something to match that was more “boyish”.
Keep creating!
I’ve had the pleasure of making several invitations and decor for Valentina. This year she was having a pizza cooking party for her birthday and needed an invitation to match.
Here’s what I came up with:
Can’t wait to see what next year’s theme will be!

Way back in the olden days of Grade 7 or 8 we read The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. This book quickly became one of my favorite books. Add to this the amazing movie with all stars such as Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, Matt Dillon, Patrick Swayze, Ralph Macchio and Emilio Estevez and it’s hard to not fall in love.
My client is equally obsessed with this movie, so when it came around to finding a theme for her birthday, naturally, it was a no-brainer. The only issue…there’s no decor out there for The Outsiders. I accepted the challenge.
My client was very specific about what she wanted. She wanted logo and signs of the specific locations in the book. The only problem was some of these locations didn’t really exist in real life and the movie only showed basic random buildings.
The DX sign was actually the easiest sign because it actually exists. This is the gas station where one of the boys worked so I simply took the logo and turned it into a decor piece.
The movie came in handy for this next piece. The Nightly Double was the drive in theater the boys used to go to. I took a still from the movie and added a general “drive in” feel logo to the top.
The next signs were a bit trickier. In the book Buck’s Bar is actually not a bar at all but just Buck’s home. In the book it states that there is a neon sign in the bar so that’s where I took my inspiration from.
While The Dingo (the diner) is mentioned in the book, no actual picture of the outside of the diner shows up in the movie. You only see the building part where the cars park. So I used my imagination and came up with a sign that I thought a diner would have in the 60s. Why did I put est. 1967? That’s the year the book was written.
Finally, no party is complete without a cake topper. Of course the cake topper had to be a picture of all the boys and the famous line, Stay Gold. It’s a hard world out there and things change before you even notice. Take time to look at the sunrise and the sunset because “nothing golden can stay.”
Honestly, this was probably one of my favorite orders. I got to use my imagination and come up with customized decor you couldn’t find anywhere else. This put my creative juices to the test and I loved every minute of it!

Gianluca turned 2 and loves hippos! So I made him a little sprinkle cake with a handmade fondant hippo on top. A few fondant balloons and the #2 were the finishing touches for the cake. The cake was vanilla with strawberry buttercream inside.
This year for my birthday I decided to so a sloth theme. Sloths are my spirit animal; not because they are lazy but because they remind us there’s no need to rush around in the world. They remind us to take a moment and enjoy every inch of the world around us.
I couldn’t get or find the decor I was looking for so I decided to make my own. It’s always fun seeing everything come together.
And of course, I couldn’t forget the matching sloth cupcakes!
Much love to all!
Keep on baking!
Every year I make my god daughter’s birthday cake. Every year I know it will be a challenge. This year was no different!
Her theme this year was Stranger Things, based on a show on Netflix right now. Had I heard of it? Yes. Did I know anything about what I could do for a cake? Nope. So…. I asked my god daughter to design me her cake the way she would like it and I went off her design. I made a few small changes for aesthetic. Did I try to watch the show? Yes, I watched five episodes. Do I care for this show? Nope. LOL
She also needed some cupcakes to go along with the cake. She told me what toppers to make. We ended up with the lights, the logo, a saying, a skateboard, a walkie talkie and of course, the waffles.
Happy birthday to such a sweet girl. I can’t believe you are 12 already!!! I can’t wait to see what crazy idea you have for your teen years!
Keep on baking!
Two weeks, two cakes with macarons! This Sweet 16 cake had a bit of a twist with meringue kisses and stars. The cake was a lemon cake with raspberry buttercream filling all covered in a sky blue buttercream with hints of pink and white buttercream to create a watercolor effect.
Simple and sweet.
Happy baking!
Sometimes when you get asked to make the same themed cake (this year it’s Unicorns), the designs can become dated and repetitive.
Luckily, I have the best clients who always challenge me. I’m not really into figure modelling so when my client asked if I could make a unicorn cake with a modeled unicorn on top, I was a bit scared. BUT… I knew that I could do it.
And so was born Miss Unicorn. It did take a few tries to get her arms and legs just right and her head wanted to keep drooping forward, but nothing a toothpick and a few days of drying couldn’t fix. A few cute flowers in her hair to hold back her mane and she was ready for the party.
Miss Unicorn needed a cake of course so I made her a vanilla cake surrounded in strawberry buttercream. Inside was a strawberry rhubarb jam filling. YUMMY!!!
I love the way the strawberries make lines through the buttercream and look all artistic. I added some clouds and OF COURSE a rainbow. I did look at the end of the rainbow, no pot of gold unfortunately, maybe next time! LOL.
Happy 5th birthday little Aarya. I hope you and Miss Unicorn have a fun filled day.
