Peppa Pig Cake

This is the cake I made for Jacob, who's turning 3! He loves Peppa Pig. Might I mention he is so cute!! Once again it is the same chocolate mud cake with chocolate ganache. If you read my previous blogs, you will notice I use this recipe alot! It's my most popular flavor so far. This cake was challenging but at the same time fun!

Table Tennis Cake

This was a birthday cake I made for my brother in law. He plays table tennis!! Bet you couldn't guess that one!

It was made and ordered very last minute, but I think I did OK considering the amount of notice and equipment I had. It's the same chocolate mud cake that I used for the Despicable Me 2 Minion Cake but this time with chocolate butter cream. I don't know which I like better! They are both just as delicious! 

Despicable Me 2 Minion Birthday Cake

I was recently approached to make a cake for a surprise 21st party. The lucky birthday boy was obsessed with Despicable Me at the time so what better cake to make than a Minion cake!! This was my first ever "commission" so I was super excited but also very nervous it would go wrong. Word of advice to those of you who would want to try this at home....DON'T.. nah just kidding! Just plan plan plan!! I overly underestimated the time it would take to make this cake. Whatever you are thinking...try tripling that time (that's because I'm super slow so maybe only double the time for yourself).

I made a chocolate mud cake that was super moist and filled it with whipped chocolate ganache. Yummmm!! The cake itself was pretty easy to make, just 3 layers of round cake and carving a curved top. For me, the hardest challenge was rolling the fondant out big enough to cover the entire cake. Since it was an awkward shape I had to use 2 layers of fondant because the first layer split and didn't go on as smoothly as planned. I also made a miniature version of the cake for the Minion - Haha! A cake within a cake! I call it cakeception! Once the cake was covered the rest was history!

Baby Eric's baptism cake

Congratulations to our newest edition in the family. Baby Eric had his baptism and now I'm officially a mother of the spiritual kind.

I made my nephew a red velvet cake filled with cream cheese and covered with chocolate ganache. Yummy!

With the left over cake cuts I made mini round cake bites dipped in ganache and covered with cream cheese icing. It's a simpler version of cake pops when u don't have the time and it's so easy and great for people who only want a bite size taste of my little sweet creation.

Chocolate Castle

Ever dreamed of living in a castle and eating all the chocolate you want? Who hasn't, right? What about a castle made from chocolate? The best of both worlds! 

I've decided to post this up as my first Little Sweet Creation. It is a castle built from ground up with chocolate! I made this as part of the patisserie course I started 6 months ago. We spent a full day melting,  piping, casting, cutting and molding chocolate into a castle. It was literally a finger licking good day! It even has its own Fairytale! Once upon a time...ok I won't go there but I'm sure you have your own story to tell.
