Cake Ninja Cakes

Loved making this cake for a special 5 year old! A vanilla cake with cookies and cream mousse in the little cake and a vanilla mousse in the bigger cake.

My favorite twins 5th birthday!! I didn't post these earlier, mainly because I forgot to get pictures... as per usual!

There was a funfetti cake and a vanilla cake! I love these 2 and am so glad I have gotten the opportunity to make a few of their birthday cakes!!!

I also forgot to post the plants vs zombies cake for when my littlest little turned 5!

My biggest little turns 9 this week, he asked for a harry potter themed cake, with specific flavours.

So here is his Harry Potter cake, it is a chocolate cake with a butterscotch mousse, a layer of caramel, and some chocolate crunch pieces for the filling.

My youngest turned 5 last week. But we didn't have his birthday party until today.

Plants vs. Zombies themed cake

Confetti vanilla cake inside, with a white chocolate mousse filling and vanilla buttercream.

The zombie head is the same kind of cake and filling carved and covered in chocolate ganache and fondant

The cone is rice krispie treats covered with ganache and fondant.

Before I forget to add these photos... this is how Derek's 'simple' cake turned out... we brought the cake to a mug out and gave the cupcakes to the amazing staff brewing.

It's husband's birthday this week... he normally gets a fairly extravagant cake that he brings into work... but this year he wanted something smaller as he works with less people than he used to.

I of course will oblige him, because it's his birthday.

So here is the start... Guinness chocolate cakes and cupcakes.

Some give away macarons were made this week!

Tiramisu and creme bruleé were the flavours of the week.

A Rōblox cake for an awesome kid.

It's a vanilla cake filled with a vanilla mousse and covered with buttercream and a few fondant decorations.

The blocks are white chocolate filled with a dark chocolate ganache, Graham crackers and marshmallow fluff.

So I wasn't going to make anything during the school year ....it is just added stress... but... then I met a lovely couple who's baker had to cancel on them.... so I made their wedding cake for them.

They wanted a simple design to go on a chocolate cake with bavarian cream filling and swiss meringue butter cream.

As usual I forgot to take pictures but received some from the bride once their toppers were on the cake!

Finals start tomorrow... I needed a study break and some de-stressing so I finished the macarons... apple pie and gingerbread. They turned out pretty good.
Also I'm loving these new containers!

It's been 5 months.... after the move we hit the ground running with our new adventure...

I finally pulled out my mixer today (Finals start on Monday so I needed to bake away the stress)

Apple pie macarons are underway... not sure how they will turn out with the change in humidity... but baking in this kitchen sure is nice.

Last cake before our cross-country move!

Made for my littlest one who turns four in September, (but we thought we would celebrate here with his friends)

It's a PJ masks cake... funfetti cake on the inside and a vanilla buttercream outside.

294 macarons have been made... I had a tbsp of Almond flour left...

There are a few different flavours and the boxes are all variety packs. As I am running out of boxes so I have 3 different sizes available:

7 x boxes of 20: $35 - Sold Out
5 x Boxes of 10: $20 - Sold Out
13 x Boxes of 4: $10

Update: I only have 10 of the 4 packs left.

All boxes are already pre-made:

Flavour of macarons will vary between the boxes. There are GF boxes available.

The flavours are:
Nanaimo (not Gluten free)
Pink champagne
Dirty chai
Chai eggnog
Rasperry/mango (it's a mix of both flavours)
Pistachio
And vanilla

It's a slow process... but I'm getting low.on Almond flour!

Did you know that each batch of macarons takes approximately 2 hours to make.

Alright, we have 3 weeks left before our move... macarons will be started this week. I am hoping to run out of Almond flour by the weekend. As soon as i have boxes ready to go I will put out another message. All boxes are assorted, most will be gluten and dairy free as well.

Hubby's birthday was yesterday... so of course I brought cake into his work today.

We have a scratch poster for family movies that we've been watching with the kids... his cake is inspired by that poster and the movies we've watched as a family.

Each tier is a different flavour.

The popcorn is a vanilla mousse and the container is a Guinness chocolate cake with a cream cheese buttercream filling, salted caramel and pretzels are also in each layer of filling.

The smaller film reel is a coffee cake filled with coffee cake crumble and a cinnamon cream cheese buttercream.

The larger film reel is a snickerdoodle cake with salted caramel and cinnamon cream cheese buttercream.

And the other cake I've neglected posting.

L had an early 8th birthday, he doesn't make friends super easy because he is shy.... until he is comfortable, and then he talks non-stop. So with us moving across the country soon we thought it would be good to celebrate early with the friends he has made.

He requested a chocolate, vanilla and caramel cake. I didn't let him choose the design this time. His birthday was a video game theme... so I picked his 2 favorite games and made a cake.

A birthday cake from last week that I forgot to post!

Funfetti and cheetah print inside and a cheetah print outside for a wonderfully wild child 7 year old!

Some special sugar cookies and treats for L's teachers. We've never known a school year without COVID and I am constantly amazed by every teacher the L has had. They never seem to be frazzled, even while trying to keep kids calm and teach in a pandemic.

This is true for all of the teachers we have had from kindergarten through grade 2. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for the amazing job you are doing! 🍎

last 4 cakes until we move are coming up!! 2 this week and 2 in July.

Cookies for teachers are happening this week.

And stay tuned for assorted macaron boxes!

It's that time of year again!!

I absolutely love doing cakes for kids.... but even more than that I love photos of kids enjoying their cake! With permission from the parents I sometimes get to post the photos.

Happy Birthday Grady!! You are the Big ONE now!

I absolutely loved making this fishing themed cake. The smash cake was funfetti and the bottom tier that was for everyone else was vanilla cake with butterscotch mousse and 2 chocolate crunch layers. All covered in blue buttercream icing. With some fondant decorations.

A hockey team end of year party!

The hockey rink is a funfetti cake filled with a white chocolate mousse (dyed yellow) and the team logo cake is a chocolate cake with a chocolate mousse (dyed black)

And then 59 sugar cookies with the team logo, hockey nets, skates and personalized jerseys.

A chocolate Guinness cake with bailey's buttercream filling and frosting. Topped with a dark chocolate ganache.

2 new kinds of macarons

Triple chocolate and bailey's hot chocolate!

I'm so lucky to be able to try new cake flavours for some of my favorite people.

Due to some food sensitivities I get to experiment and expand my recipie selections.

This cake is a vegan and Gluten Free marble cake, with a vegan marshmallow buttercream, covered in a vegan chocolate ganache and homemade fondant for decorating.

St. Patrick's day macaron's.

Yes, it's a month early... but D is going away for work and requested st. Paddy's day flavored macarons.

So I created an Irish whiskey macaron. Filled with a coffee and whiskey buttercream. Made with Crown Royal vanilla whiskey and

And

A Guinness macaron. (I usually make this flavour in cake form, so it's a spin off of his favorite cake) it's got a layer of salted caramel, a circle of whipped Guinness chocolate ganache, then filled with a Guinness flavored cream cheese buttercream and crushed up pretzels.

A pool party themed, rainbow sprinkle vanilla cake with a vanilla mousse filling and 2 dozen pool party themed rainbow sugar cookies!

A naked nanamio bar cake with nanamio macarons!

Okay so I made 2 orders of macarons when I got home as belated Christmas presents for L's teachers (at his request) as well as some lemon/blueberry and nanaimo macarons for a friend and I forgot to get pictures.

I'm getting back into the swing of things, here are some pink champagne macarons for an order tomorrow.

Back home and already full for orders into March. Stay tuned for some awesome cakes and cookies!!!

Completed this retirement cake for a friends husband late last night.

The top and bottom layer flavour was inspired by an au caramel treat. With a chocolate cake base, then filled with vanilla pastry cream and caramel.

The center layer is also a chocolate cake base that is filled with cream cheese icing, caramel and crushed up pretzels.

Everything is covered in butter cream and then again in homemade fondant.

I've missed getting some photos up but here are some cookies and macarons done for a birthday celebration!

The macarons are pink champagne flavoured.

A perfectly simple rainbow cake for this awesome 6 year old!!!

Special thanks to shauna for the photos. Because i forgot to take some.

Its a vanilla cake with a vanilla mousse filling. And yes the whole time I was making it i was reciting ROY G BIV...

There was also 2 dozen rainbow themed sugar cookies that i missed taking a photo of as well... Silly me.

Okay so here is the tattoo inspired cake and cookies for the best husband in the world.

This guy would move mountains for me if I let him, he not only supports all of my dreams, he is right by my side cheering me on.

This isn't as elaborate looking as a few of the other cakes I've done for him... But it was just as time consuming with all the painting.

Happy Birthday my King... I hope you enjoy your tiramisu flavoured cake.

Husband turns 36 tomorrow. Here is the rough drawings (i'm really getting better at drawing) for his tattoo inspired cake... Based off of his actual tattoos... Pictures of the cake and cookies will be posted as soon as its done.

Its a good thing I took some time off of work this week. Graduation cookies and cake.. Plus thank you gifts for teachers are happening en mass!! (Photos are from last year... Stay tuned for this years!!)

How do you say thank you to the people who navigated through such a rough year on the fly, maintaining a smile and a positive outlook... All so your kids wouldn't be so afraid of the world..... Regardless of how exhausted i'm sure they were??? With some cookies and a gift card for some much deserve wine!

Teachers do so much and are often the forgotten heroes in our lives. This year they created distance learning lesson plans on the fly and helped bolster our kids, quarantine after quarantine.... And oh so much more!!! From the daycare teachers (yes, they are teachers), to the homeschool teachers to the university level professors doing everything you can to pass on knowledge, please know that you are appreciated and applauded.
