Back from Vegas.....what happens at Cake Camp....

Recently I had the opportunity to travel to HOT Las Vegas to attend Cake Camp....it was a 3 day event with some of the best sugar artists in the world that offered hands on classes......SIGN ME UP.....Vegas and Cake - really what could be better !!!!!

I had the opportunity to take classes from Nicholas Lodge, Toba Garrett, Ruth Rickey and Bronwen Weber......I had so much fun with my fellow sugar friends and you can bet that I will be returning in 2009 for the next one !!!!

Here are some pictures of me with my favorite sugar artists and the projects that I made while I was there....and yes I took them home with me on the plane and they all made it home !!!!

Pam and Edward.....again....

I love this couple.....

I was on vacation last week (more of that to come later !!!) and while I was away I received a beautiful thank you letter from Pam and Edward - they were the couple I did the pink peony cake for ..... along with there thank you letter they sent a picture of them cutting the cake. Again, Thanks Pam and Edward for letting me be part of your special day !!

Hello Karey,

I'm glad we were able to catch you at our reception ...it was great seeing you again!

You have been so great during our wedding planning and we are very happy and fully satisfied with the final product. The wedding cake you created for our special day was very elegant and delicious!! You designed it beautifully with the pearls, peonies and crystals. The cake table was also nicely arranged with the rose petals and ribbons on the cake knife set. It was perfect!!!

Attached is a photo taken by a friend at the wedding. Unfortunately, our photos from our photographer isn't ready yet. But I think this one should suffice. We will forward you a copy when we get it.

Many thanks,

Pamela & Edward

Melanies Baby Shower

This is the second baby shower cake I had the pleasure of doing last weekend.......this one was very special to me......here's the story......

about a month ago I won tickets on a local radio station to the Much Music Video Awards, along with that came special VIP status and a meet and greet to meet the NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK.....anyone who knows me KNOWS that as a teenage girl, these 5 guys were my LIFE.....

anyway......when I went with my good friend Kathy, we met the other winners and it was the coolest thing ever....we clicked right away and had the greatest night EVER....we hung out, met the New Kids, met Hedley and had one heck of a time....it was like we had been friends for years......

One of the girls, Melanie, is expecting her first baby in September, not only was I invited to the shower but had the honour of doing the cake........I had the best time ever and these girls are the best bunch of people anyone could ask for !!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats Melanie, and if you need anything, let me know !!!

Oh....one more thing......Melanie knows she is having a boy and is gonna name him Nolan......just like my 2nd boy...his name is Nolan.......HEY...we were meant to be friends!!!!!!

Goodbye Tummy......Hello Mommy......

I had the pleasure of doing a couple of baby shower cakes this past weekend.....this in the first one, and I must say that I LOVE it.....the lady who ordered the cake, wanted the "Goodbye Tummy, Hello Mommy" saying on the cake with (2) figures, a pregnant lady and then a lady with her baby.....after that the design was up to me !!!

I wasn't here when she picked it up, but my hubby told me she loved it !!!

Supervisors Award.....

In my spare time I am a cake decorating instructor at Michaels Craft Store n Whitby, Richmond Hill and Markham......on July 12th all of the Ontario instructors had the pleasure of gathering for our annual instructor meeting where we get the inside scoop on new products and other goings on. The highlight of the meeting is the annual awards ceremony, where instructors are recognized for their accomplishments such as number of students taught and special supervisors awards. This year I knew I was getting my 100 and 250 students taught pins and recognition......what I did not know was that I was chosen my as the Supervisors Choice award for one on the best instructors in Canada.....I received beautiful bouquet of flowers, a plaque and a booklet to choose a spectacular gift.....I have chose a beautiful necklace....when I receive it I will let ya know.....I just want to say thanks to Tracey, the Wilton supervisor for Canada, for choosing me !!!!!!!

By the sea..........

By the beautiful sea....that is where the bride I had the pleasure of doing a wedding cake for on July 12 got married. In March, Alexandra got married on the beach and on July 12th had a beautiful reception to celebrate with her family and friends. We carried the beach theme into the cake, and made her and her groom a cupcake tower complete with a seashell wedding cake with brown sugar sand and cupcakes with chocolate shells on top of each one.

I hope you had a fantastic reception and I can't wait to see more pictures of you and your hubby !!!

Congratulations Pam and Edward !!!

This weekend was a little slow for me only 1 cake order.....but thats okay....it was for an amazing couple Pam and Edward. They booked with me in the winter months and their day had finally come - I traveled to La Toscana Banquet hall in Vaughan - and what a gorgeous facility it is!!!! For this wedding, cake was the actual desert so I delivered 275 pieces of cake for all their guest to enjoy. Pam's flowers of choice were peonies so when I got their the florist had left me the flowers to go on the cake - I also took the liberty of finding some other decor there that I could dress the table up with. As I was setting up I heard someone call my name - it was Pam - she had come in to see all the going ons and came over to me ans thanked me - it was so nice - I don't ever get to see the brides in person so this was great - and my goodness was she ever STUNNING - her gown, her hair everything........

Thanks Pam and Edward for letting me be a part of your special day and I can't wait to see that picture of you guys with your cake you promised me !!!!
