Alana Over May long weekend was Theresa’s birthday! Our friend Katherine hosted a surprise dinner for her, because Theresa is always super on-top of other people’s birthdays and has the best ideas when it comes to that sort of stuff. I was disappointed I couldn’t be there (I had already made other commitments), but I … More Chocolate Raspberry Birthday Cake
Alana A couple weeks ago was my friend Brad’s 30th birthday. He’s gay, so Theresa suggested making a cake of a more phallic persuasion… If you know what I mean…. Normally I don’t think I would bake a penis cake, but I was pretty okay with our game plan. Partly because it suits Brad, partly … More Chocolate Chip Birthday Cake
PRETTY, PRETTY PRINCESS CINDERELLA BIRTHDAY CAKE Roopa My friend was making a Cinderella themed birthday cake for his daughter’s birthday and I got to help out! We used this cake recipe (minus the chocolate chips) and this icing recipe, and swapped some of the vanilla for lemon. We got it baked and decorated in about 4 hours, … More Cinderella Cake
Roopa I wanted to try and make a healthy cake that was low in sugar, so I adapted a recipe for a sweet potato cake. The recipe was very similar to some brownies I had tried in the past that turned out really well. I felt that the cake turned out quite well – it was … More Gluten Free Vegan Sweet Potato Cake
Alana Last month it was Katherine’s birthday, so Theresa and I made her a surprise birthday cake! The kind of cake was easy to decide, because it is a well known fact that Katherine loves red velvet! Theresa and I had a bake day before meeting up with Katherine at the Tea Girl for a … More Red Velvet Birthday Cake with Cinammon Cream Cheese Frosting
Alana It was my good friend Stephen’s birthday a couple weekends ago, and his wonderful girlfriend (Ashlea) asked if either me or my friend Theresa could bake a birthday cake. Unfortunately Theresa was out of town, so this was a solo cake adventure. Ashlea had no requests/suggestions for the kind of cake she thought Stephen … More Chocolate Whiskey Birthday Cake
Roopa Tomorrow is my last day working at the Lego store this summer, so I decided to make a Lego brick shaped cake for the occasion. I made a vanilla cake with a white chocolate buttercream icing so I could food colour it pretty easily. I made a 9"X13" cake and cut it in half … More Lego Cake
Roopa My good friends Marcus and Michelle got engaged this month, so obviously a cake was in order. They both LOVE Nutella so it needed that, but I also wanted to incorporate M&Ms (their names both start with M, so M and M…hahaha I’m so clever…). Since it was for an engagement, I also wanted … More Nutella Engagement Cake
Roopa It was my friend Sandy’s son’s 5th birthday this weekend, and she asked if I could make a birthday cake for the occasion. Like any 5 year old, he cycles through interests pretty quickly, but the final consensus was an Angry Birds cake. I watched a video of a playable cake a few years … More Playable Angry Birds Cake
Alana As mentioned in Roopa’s post about the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Sandwich Cookies, this past weekend has been one of celebration, because today is my birthday! My birthday however, is not the only one that required celebrating! Friday was my mother’s birthday, so I decided to make her (but also kind of myself) a … More Peanut Butter Chocolate Birthday Cake
