Daisy Daisy


In preparation for a special party this weekend I have created a pile of daisies. I had daisies in my wedding, I guess I kinda like them, they are so happy and so fresh!

These are made out of royal icing. Did you know that royal icing creations can be made in advance and kept for months in an airtight container? I love working with royal icing because it gives me the freedom to give attention to little details way before the "crunch time". When I decorate the cake tomorrow night I won't have to fuss with piping the daisies or washing up the mess, I only have to place these little lovlies on!!

Preparing To Take Flight


These cute little horse cupcake toppers have been packaged up with great care. They are about to make the journey from here in Canada to Lisa in Connecticut. I made a few extras just in case a couple don't make the trip. I enjoyed doing this long distance order. I am contemplating offering this to customers around the globe. I love working with royal icing and I have discovered I can make just about anything...

Seahorses galore!

My all time favorites.. the Octopus (octopi?)


Little ballet slippers


Initials on sticks!!

I wonder if people would like to be able to order custom royal icing toppers? Any input? I have done some cute royal icing toppers on sticks as well...maybe those would be a hot item. Hmm...something to ponder!

Gotta love Initials!

Initials never get old. I just love using them on cakes and cupcakes...actually, I use them on shirts, backpacts, etc. I like to personalize just about anything with a plain surface!

Here is some initial inspiration!

Hannah Montana

Hannah Montana is a popular request.
Here are two different treats we did for two Hannah Montana parties.


This birthday girl wanted an electric guitar cake!
I made it to match her Hannah Montana Partyware.


Strings and dials painted with silver lustre dust.




Mini cupcakes with Hannah stickers on top.

Angelic Angel Food

A new spin on angel food cake! These cupcakes has whipped cream icing and adorable fondant angels on top. They were for a baby dedication but they would be adorable little Christmas treats as well...just add a little green and red holly!


Sorry about the horrible pictures, I hope you can get the idea!






Floating on little clouds, each angel is unique!


I used butter cream for the hair, arms and wings but if I were going to make them again I would use royal icing .








Pair these with custard and fresh berries- YUM!

Teapot Cookies

Adorable Teapot cookies for a baby shower "tea". You can see the rest of the baby shower HERE. These cookies made the trip from Kelowna to California. They all made it, no breaks!!

We especially loved the tags on these.
Using the baby's name and initial turned out so cute!!
Fun cookie favor display at the shower.


Teapots and polka dots...does it get any cuter?
