Happy Birthday Sophia!

For Sophia's 6th Birthday party, she wanted to have a beach-themed party. What a perfect way to celebrate cool November when you crave the warm summer weather.

The party was held in the Town recreation center all decked out with palm trees, hawaiian leis, picnic food like fruit and mini sandwiches, and 2 kiddie pools filled with water for the kids to swim! What fun!

And, of course, the cake...
(I can't take the design credit, Thanks to Cake Central for the inspiration)

Triple layer - Bottom is chocolate, middle layer is vanilla, top is Cherry chip cake-mix flavours.
Covered in buttercream icing and fondant.
All of the details - including those tricky palm trees! - handmade by me using fondant.

Thanks Sophia (and Sophia's Mom)! Loved how your cake turned out!

Zoie's Wedding Cake

Zoie was coming "home" to Newfoundland for a visit with her parents. Her boyfriend suggested they take the opportunity to get married. She figured, "Eh, why not? We've been together for 16 years already."

So, she called up her father and he - because he's super organized - started making all the last-minute arrangements himself.

He called us for catering and for a wedding cake.

When Zoie arrived in town, she came by The Chocolate Moose, with her older sister, to discuss her cake options. Basically she said, "I'm really easy-going. I honestly don't care what the cake looks like as long as it's pretty." And with that, she allowed her sister to choose.

She chose a traditional pillared 3-layer "old-school" cake - 16" marble cake, 12" chocolate cake, 8" vanilla top cake -with white buttercream icing and just a tiny bit of green flowers and beads added.

It was my first time making a wedding cake like this and I'm quite pleased with the outcome, despite a few flaws in technical decorating technique.

Zoie, Thanks for allowing me to make the cake for your special day! Congrats!

Wedding Cake - Petra & Monty

Thanks to Petra and Monty for allowing me the opportunity to make their beautiful Wedding Cupcake "Cake" for their July 2nd wedding at Skona House in Frenchman Cove.

I was very excited about the brown and blue colour-scheme Petra chose, as well as the hydrangeas as they are my favourite flower ever!

Details:

4-tiered stand custom made by Yours Truly (that would be me!)

75 Chocolate cupcakes topped with mint-flavoured buttercream icing and swirl-patterned fondant.

Each cupcake was topped with fondant flowers, coloured blue to match Petra's provided colour swatch, all individually punched out by hand, and centered with a silver dragee.

The topper cake was 3 layers of chocolate cake filled and topped with mint-flavoured buttercream, covered in swirl-patterned fondant and then finished off with silk hydrangeas. (We had to go with silk flowers, the flower shop told us real hydrangeas would not survive the day without wilting - personally, I think these particular "fake" flowers looked quite nice).

...and Voila!

I think it turned out beautifully!
