This cake was made for my daughter's 1st birthday.  I had never made children's cakes before, but now that I have children of my own, I am enjoying adding this to my repertoire.  Her name is Annabella, and wasn't about to tower 9 blocks on top of one another, so I wrote A-N-N-A one side and B-E-L-L-A on the other.  With my first baby, I didn't let her have any sweets until the day of her first birthday.  She quite enjoyed this.  I don't feel badly feeding her cake because I use all natural products in my cake and buttercream and don't overload it with sugar. I am not, however, so fussy with baby #2.  This cake is great for baby showers or 1st birthdays! 

Grey Cup 2008

Although I know very little about football, I do know the CFL football is different from that of the NFL and the Grey Cup presents the perfect opportunity to make cupcakes!   I can always find a reason : ) The picture doesn't do justice to the cupcakes - I need to work on my photography skills.  These were chocolate cake with Espresso (and Kahlua) Buttercream - not for the kids.  Perfect or Grey Cup parties!  

Business has been pretty hectic, as you can see by the number of posts.  I plan to keep my customers and friends better updated from now on.  As much as I love what I do, I was really looking forward to some down time.  I wanted this time to spend with my family & friends, but also update my website, photos, products etc. as well as introduce new products, to improve my business.   My goal is to be the best wedding cake designer in Winnipeg and be featured in local magazines and paper.  Until my last baby (yet to be "produced") is 1 year old, I will try to stay as low key as possible, since I want to be a Mom as much as a cake designer.

I prepared this cupcake tower for a baby christening and it was a lot of fun.  My favorite color combo is pink & brown (as you can see), so I really enjoyed this one.

Halloween cupcakes for the kids and the bigger kids!
