Gumpaste Figures for a baby shower!

I love doing any baking for baby showers! Whether it is cupcakes or cake pops! I just recently bought these baby shower themed moulds. Thought I would play with them see what happens, then low and behold I have a cupcake order this weekend for a baby shower! I will post more pics when I am fully done the order but here is three of the moulds!  The sleeping baby will be the only one at the top of the tier and then I will be doing pink and blue of the rattles and ABC blocks as well as booties and a duck and  baby bottle to sit on top of the cupcakes! I will be again posting more pics this week!

1st Birthday Pops!

So my little niece has her 1st birthday so I was asked to make some cake pops. The color scheme was pink and purple. I did some swirls, used some sanding sugar to get some sparkle. I uses gumpaste for the #1's. The cake was a funfetttie with rainbow chip icing!. Here is a pick!

Halloween Cake Pops

So yes it is that time to start getting the house smelling like fall baking, and decorating everything to get the spooky Halloween feel! I love Halloween, seeing all the houses done up and the kids having so much fun dressing up and going trick or treating. I thought I would do a variety of cake pops as one of my classes that I will be teaching at For Cake's Sake will be a fall/Halloween theme. I started with the ghosts, and did Jack from my favourite show A Nightmare Before Xmas in case some of you do not recognize the character.

I am waiting for a huge colored chocolate order in a couple days and then I will be doing some pumpkins, mummy's, ghouls and maybe a witch if I have enough time with all my orders. So I will post a pick of what I have done to date and stay tuned for more! Don't forget to get your Halloween orders and Christmas orders in the sooner the better!!!

Beach Themed Cake Pops!

So last little bit of summer before all the kiddies go back to school. I know for some moms thank the lord right! I thought since the weather here has been a little off the last couple days I would make some summer pops to bring the sun back! I used a Cinnibon cake with vanilla frosting. I used graham cracker  crumbs for the sand and bought these cute little guys on top at my local cake place For Cake's Sake in Abbotsford!!! I hope you like them and hope they bring the sun back!!!!! I will be working on baby shower cupcakes and baby shower cake pops and of course the best ever Halloween pops!!!!!! Happy baking!

Swirl/Marble Cake Pops

I have been seeing a lot of cake pops lately that are swirled or marbled if you will. Love the the look so I thought I would give it a go! There are 2 methods one where you mix two colors with each other and the other where you dip the main color and then with a spoon take the other colors and get it messy and tap it until they naturally swirl around. I did it the last way and so far so good. I thought for sure it would be difficult but it really wasn't that bad! I have some pics that I did of chocolate and peanut butter swirls. Enjoy!!!!

On another note I am trying may hardest to keep this updated but I have a lot going on wiht being pregnant and mom and my big girl job!!! So I hope you to be more on the ball with more thing to bring you!

Back from holidays! Ready for some more orders!

So I am back from a very much needed holiday. We didn't go anywhere crazy just to Vernon to visit the parents but it is so nice there!!!! Also I am feeling much better out of my first trimester and the major sickness, feeling yucky and dead tired is slowly escaping me. Before I went on holidays I did my biggest oder for a wedding of 130! It was for a repeat customer who wanted cupcake cake balls as Thank You gifts for her guest. I will post a pic here as well. When I got back I also indulged in making Turtle bars sooooo yummy as well I will post pics and the recipe shortly!!! Glad to be back to baking!!!! 5 more months then no more real job and focus on my baking wooohooo!!!!!! Thanks to everyone for your support!!!!
