Made for my best client who continues to challenge me every time he orders.
I used about 4 or 5 cakes as examples and combined them into 1 seriously big project. I have never made anything at this grand of a scale before. It consumed my mind and my time for about 3 weeks and I had a hard time concentrating on all the other orders that I did along the way.
There's a REAL goldfish swimming around in the bowl.
the fish didn't appreciate all my hard work so wasn't really making his presence known, and stayed right near the bottom most of the time.

Henna inspired
I had an extra cake (baked in accident) and donated it to a bake sale/auction to raise money for a family in need.
I hope that whoever bought it enjoyed their reward for contributing to the fundraiser.

Cuppa Joe
A shiny 60 for a lovely lady who loves her coffee.
It s a small cake, only serving about 10 or so for a family birthday brunch.

Golden
This wedding cake was planned for the bride and groom by the brother (of the bride)
That's definitely a different way to do it.
Their design was chosen based on a wedding cake I did earlier in the year with their own color choices.

Matt's 'Gumby" truck
This one is for a friend of ours who loved this old truck of his. His girlfriend sent me several photos to get the right image for the cake.
He loved it!

Hunter's Rifle
I had some help getting this rifle to look right. A friend who also hunts brought over his real version and let me have it sit on my table for a while so I could copy it. My version was much more fragile, but at least it wasn't lethal like his is. Its edible instead.
COLOR!
I was worried when putting this cake together that it would be too bright, but was very please with the final result when I put the bow on top and it all just came together. The client was thrilled with it and that's just the icing on the cake. Pun intended.

Boba Fett
After I made the Vader/Clone Trooper cake I had lots of inquiries about other Star Wars options for cake. This is one of the orders that was spurred by that cool cake.
I had been to a Halloween party the weekend prior to making this cake and there happened to be an acquaintance dressed as Boba Fett with a helmet that I asked if I could borrow for the project. I'm so glad he chose that costume for the party. It all worked out so well.

Hockey fan's Birthday
So even with no hockey happening, people are still loyal to their favorite team.

Toopy & Binoo
I have completely lost count of how many times I have made a Toopy and Binoo cake. Sometimes if I use the exact same image, I don't even take a picture of it. This time, there is a change to the design. Even though it is just the grass they are sitting on, its still something different.
I do have an order coming up though that is going to have a completely different picture of the popular pair.

Kitty & Sparkly Butterflys
I must say that this little critter got mistaken for a skunk at least twice (that I know of). I guess its my own fault for making a black and white cat, chasing butterflies. Kind of like the Skunk named "Flower" in the Bambi movie.
Camo loving kid
There's a lot of cake in one week for this family! 3 celebrations all within 7 days. Its a good thing they have tons of friends to help them eat all the cake they order. :)
More Camo cupcakes
Well I have made these in the past and they were such a hit that the same family asked for them again. I love repeat customers!!

Poky Little Puppy
From the popular children's book. I've read this to my children so many times, I could almost picture the cover in my mind without the reference picture I was using.
Butterfly baby shower #2
A pretty design made to please so of course I was willing to make this one again.

Mini Minnie Mouse
A friend of mine was having a small birthday celebration and she had once told me how much she loves Minnie Mouse. So it was an easy decision what cake would be planned for the little party.
Agent Oso
Even though I have little ones of my own, I had no idea who Agent Oso was when I asked to make this cake. I guess every kid has their own cartoon hero.
Tiffany presents
I'd love to give credit to the original baker for this cake but its unknown so far.
The bride wanted a little more cake with out changing the design too much so I made the middle tier with an extra layer.

Bling Beauty
So much credit for this cake goes to the bride for picking out such gorgeous accents.
She brought me the bling ribbon and the flowers to use. Gorgeous!

Blue Jays themed baby shower
I think its amazing that I have been getting orders from Ontario and I am in Calgary. I thank this blog and the internet in general for my exposure. A lady in Ontario has 2 daughters who both had babies this year and this is the second baby shower cake I have made for this lovely family. The new mom is crazy about the Blue Jays and was having a bot so it just clicked to have the baseball theme to the party.

Darth Trooper
I found 2 very well made cakes online and put them together for a very lucky 5 year old.
Welcome Baby
My client sent me a picture of a cake similar to this one, but unfortunately I don't know who the original baker is.
Lufthansa in the Clouds
My first plane through the clouds cake was the inspiration for this cake. My client said her husband had always dreamed of being a Lufthansa pilot, and so we changed the design to match his favorite plane.

For Sale
So Jay's friends finally ordered him a cake for his birthday. Apparently he has a habit of buying things, changing his mind and then selling them at a loss, so this is a dig at his bad habit.
Happy Birthday to my most creative client, Jay!

Mario Cupcakes
My inspiration for these cupcakes had their photos with 20 cupcakes in it, and my client only needed 12 so we reduced the design accordingly. It still turned out quite nicely.
Baby Bump
Another first for me. I had plans to go visit family for a week but managed to fit this sweet one in before we left town. It was nice to finish the week on a good note (cake) and then have a break for a few days.
Thomas for Jack
My friend has a little 2year old. And so of course when he was asked what ha wanted on his cake he chose Thomas. What little boy wouldn't?

Captain America
This is a quick one for my nephew's birthday. He loves all superheroes and is happy to have any of them on his cake.
Parisian birthday
I love the sophisticated feel of this first birthday cake. I hope that the decor in the house matched as well. It would have been fun to pretend a little french bistro party for the lucky little girl.
