Happy Cake-o-ween!

My son asked if I would make some cupcakes for his preschool class for Halloween. I made a nice even 2 dozen so that his teachers could have some too, but it didn't leave leftovers for us at home. Which, of course, my husband saw as a problem. Despite my house being completely and utterly disatrous becuase of our upcoming move this weekend, I decided to be the good wife and make an extra dozen. Or two. Okay, it was three. But who's counting? Halloween is all about sugar comsumption anyway, right?

A Tribute to Favourites

One of my favourite recipes comes from my Mom. Everybody loves this recipe. My first time I made it for my husband he said he fell even more in love with me. Mom would bake these every autumn, which was her favourite season. So I made these in honour of her favourite season, my hubby's favourite dessert, and one of my favourite people, my mom.

A Birthday Request

My Grandmother-in-law asked me if I would make her birthday cake this year and she had a special request. Her favourite cake is Black Forest Cake so I decided to give it a go. I had never done one before but it was really fun to do! (Also, the leftover whipping cream and cherries went well with crepes for breakfast the next morning!)

An INCREDIBLE Birthday!

My son just turned two, and he was very insistent upon having an "Incredibles" Birthday party. He has an obsession with the movie and he had his little heart set on this cake!

Whooo's turning 2!

A friend of mine has a daughter who is celebrating her 2nd birthday this month, so she asked me to do a cake and some cupcakes. This little one has a thing for owls so this is what they asked for.  My friend is also a very talented photographer and she took these photos. Check her out at http://www.shannonwight.ca/
