I only used half of the sugar suggested though, figuring the drinks would have enough sugar in them to compensate. Freeze in ice cube trays. I saved … [Read more...]

How many Tuesday's in a row do you think I can feature a birthday cake???? I think I'll stop at three! Sunday was our Baby Boy's First Birthday Party!!!! OMG how did he get so old already!!??

Our friend Taylor is a teenager already, and I was happy to make her a 13th birthday cake for her party. Taylor asked for a cherry chip cake, so the cake is a two layer 9 inch round cherry chip cake with pink buttercream icing. I used red and pink smarties to sprinkle over the top and kit kat bars to round the outside. I used 9 kit kat bars, but one more would … [Read more...]

I was honoured and delighted to have the opportunity to make my buddy Nicholas his 8th Birthday cake! The Birthday Boy is a Star Wars fan, and so a Star Wars birthday cake he must get!

I tinted the outer buttercream icing black using gel food colouring and used some mint extract, because I know Nick likes mint. The lettering and white circles are … [Read more...]
