Alyson's 6th Birthday

An order was placed for a client's 6 year old daughter, for a celebration in her school.  Two separate themes were requested, one for the girls (Disney Princesses), and one for the boys (Ben10).  I didn't have much idea about Ben10 prior to this, but now I know all about the little boy who can turn into monsters via his watch.  Sorry, Omnitrix. Haha.  It was a good learning process and I think I have to make a guilty admission: toppers for girls are just so much more interesting and colorful than those for boys!

Happy Birthday Princess Alyson, hope you have a blast!

Cake Pops

An order for a special little Princess..  I have to say though, hats off to those who are pros at cake pops. They really do take so much time!  I can see why kids love them though.  Cake on a lollipop, covered in chocolate. Even adults would be hard pressed to reject them :-)

Strawberry Shortcake and Blueberry Muffin Toppers

My neighbour ordered two toppers from me and decided she wanted them to be from the "Strawberry Shortcake" series.  They were to be given as gifts to a set of twin girls.  So here's my attempt at Strawberry Shortcake and Blueberry Muffin.  After I finished the toppers, we put the whole thing together and she was very happy with the end product (so was I!).  

Here's Strawberry Shortcake

And her friend, Blueberry Muffin

Here's what they look like perched on cupcakes

Blueberry likes her seat!

Here's the end product, all boxed up and ribboned

Ready to go!

Jasmine's Birthday Cupcakes

An urgent order was placed for Jasmine's birthday celebration.  Client specifically requested for birds and flowers in pastel colours.  As the birthday girl is also pregnant, some eggs in nests are added.  Notice the little jasmines scattered around the cakes :-)

Lemon Meringue Tarts

Made some lemon meringue tarts today with my new blowtorch and was well pleased with the results!  Unlike the normal lemon tarts with a lemon filling that has to be baked and is hard, my little tart cases were filled with home made lemon curd.  Really complements the sweetness of the meringue and my little boy totally loved it. Yummy!
