My daughter Dina loves to bake… gee, I wonder who she took after? She loves to incorporate fresh fruit to her desserts, and in this cake she uses it for decorating and filling. You can choose to make vanilla or chocolate cake, or even strawberry flavoured. You can use a cake mix or make a homemade cake batter, whichever you prefer. …
My cakes and cupcakes
Sleeping Beauty Inspired Cake
Continuing our Disney series with this Sleeping Beauty inspired cake my daughter Dina made for her sister!
We all remember the part when Maryweather and Flora are fighting over the colour of the dress, in the cottage and at the end of the movie! Pink! Blue! I personally love the pink ever since I was a kid! How about you?…
Beauty and The Beast Rose Cake and Belle’s Dress Cupcakes
My daughter Dina had the idea that we should do a Disney themed post and she picked Beauty and The Beast for our first post! We came up with the dress cupcakes and she came up with the cake! …
Watercolour Wedding Cake
I just love summer weddings, especially outdoor ones! I was married in the summer, but didn’t get an outdoor wedding so I thought for our anniversary which happened to be yesterday we would re-create our wedding day! It was so much fun! The kids got involved with the decorating, mom got busy with her flowers…it was a fun day! …
Grade 12 Grad Get Together with Childhood Friends
The time has come, it just happened so fast! I know you would think we as parents had all this time to prepare for this moment, but in actuality it hit us hard, as if time just passed and we don’t know how it happened! …
Tropical Pool Fun Cake
Strawberry Topped Cakes
Sharing some recent cakes that I made, of course just for inspiration! Two of them were chocolate cakes with chocolate buttercream and one was vanilla with whipped cream combined with a little buttercream just for some texture. …
Snow Flake and S’mores Cupcakes
My daughter is having a Heritage day Party in class today, and she volunteered cupcakes! I was happy to hear that, I wasn’t really in the mood to make baklava or anything that took a lot of time or effort. I was happy about the cupcakes, because unlike making traditional foods or treats, you can be creative and design it in any way you want! …
Wedding Cake with Fresh Fruits
I made this cake for a small wedding yesterday! My inspiration was the berries. Instead of making the same old flowers and roses, I decided on fresh summer berries….after all it is summer time! I only wish I had my hands on some red currants… unfortunately they don’t come in Ontario until mid July, that is where the cherries came in to play. …
Math Cupcakes
A friend of mine asked me to make some ‘math’ cupcakes for a surprise party she was having for her math loving friend! She requested what she wanted on them, good thing too cause I wouldn’t know where to start!
In High School I had a math teacher who made me understand and look at numbers in a different way, I was no longer scared of them…..I actually began to love math!
I now know why that is, its because he loved math! He understood it and wanted everyone to understand, he had a passion and you can tell by the way he taught!
I may have made these cupcakes for her, but I dedicate these cupcakes to all the math teachers out there! The ones that encourage their students, and help them understand and fall in love with math!
