Happy Valentine's Day!

Make sure you share something sweet with your Valentine on the 14th!

Would a rose by any other name smell as sweet?

A gentle drizzle of handmade chocolate red rose petals make a simple white fondant wedding cake into a centerpiece that exudes love. Inside the love continues with midnight chocolate cake and vanilla bean buttercream.

Flour Confections make Metro News

Be sure to pick up a copy of today's Metro News - or click here to view the article. I was recently interviewed for an article regarding wedding cake planning.

Too much of a good thing?

This has got to be one of my favourite pictures! I LOVE receiving pictures of people enjoying my creations, but this one "takes the cake" (pun intended!)

This cake was made for a stagette for a wild bunch of ladies - the theme: Senoritas & Margaritas. So what would be more appropriate than a GIANT margarita?! Standing almost 10" high, this lime scented cake with Tequila sugar splash and fresh lime curd buttercream was a hit with the bride to be! Complete with a sugar rimmed glass and white chocolate lime slice.

The 8th New Wonder

It's another year for Flour Confections - and we start off with a big event cake!

The Bank of Montreal InvestorLine contacted me to create an event cake for the launch of their new campaign - The 8th New Wonder https://www.bmoinvestorline.com/8newwonders/Default.html?WT.ac=RSPPromo2008EN01022008

The theme is the new 7 wonders of the world - so I created a 4 tier cake with a hand painted embossed map of the world and edible "postcards" of each of the new 7 wonders of the world. The top of the cake featured an all edible BMO logo.

Taking the plunge

This cake was really fun to make - for a really fun couple!

Glenna & Andy knew EXACTLY what they wanted for their wedding cake! They wanted a ski hill - and that's what they got - complete with a mogul run!!!

This 4-tier spice cake with hot buttered rum buttercream was finished in fondant and royal icing "snow". The tiers were offset so that it would be more like a ski hill and it was adorned with entirely edible trees and a sign.

Dan of Life in a Flash Photography provided me with some great pictures of the cake - thanks Dan!

Congratulations Glenna & Andy!

First comes love, then comes marriage .....

Wow - it's been a while since I posted! Sorry about that...finishing up the busy season, jumping right into the holiday season - it's hard to keep up!

I made Chris & Shelley's wedding cake back in the fall of 2004 - that was my first paid wedding cake and what launched me into my full-time business.

Chris & Shelley now have a son - so they wanted a special cake to help celebrate their special event.
We decided to go with something a bit different - we made a 3D edible recreation of the outfit Cohen would be wearing that day - right down to the tag! The booties are also edible and we finished it off with matching cookie favours for the guests.
