Good Morning!

Well I was thrilled to wake up this morning and visit my favorite cake decorating website Cake Central to find my beach themed cake was sitting in the 4th spot for most favorite cakes of the day.  

I am often in awe of the top cakes on this board as they are absolutely stunning, so having one of my cakes make the board (for the second time) is a HUGE pat on the back.  

Yes, I took a picture of my computer screen.

Beach Cake

This cake is for a 50th Birthday Party.   The theme of the party is elegant beach theme.   The customer send me a inspiration board of pictures that they were as a guideline for decor.   This was perfect!  I was able to truly understand the feel of the party and design the cake accordingly.

This cake would also be perfect for a beach wedding.  

 

Happy Anniversary

It's hard to believe that a year ago my little brother got married.   I made the wedding cake for them and found it only fitting to make a small anniversary cake for them as well.   

Happy Anniversary!

A nice cold one.

I have been wanting to make a beer bucket cake for a long time now.    This is a small cake so I only used 2 bottles for this one. 

Bottles, labels and ice is edible and placed on top of a delicious chocolate cake.  

Tee Time

What a fitting cake for a retirement party.   Hopefully Don can get out and enjoy lots of tee times now without having the daily grind of work.   

Golf bag is covered with chocolate fondant and textured to look like leather.  

First Birthday

A little girl celebrated her first birthday this weekend.   Young kids just love the show In The Night Garden, so this was the perfect cake to celebrate such a large milestone.

Happy Birthday!

Silver Anniversary

Celebrating a silver wedding anniversary is a pretty big milestone.   I was thrilled to make this cake for this amazing couple as they celebrate 25 years of marriage today with their family.  

Spaghetti Cake Decorating workshop

Since I have been on a food theme lately we are going to continue that for the month of September and make a cake that resembles a bowl of spaghetti with meatballs.      This is a fun cake to take with you to a pot luck dinner and see how many times it gets moved off the dessert table.    I have also made this cake for an Italian friend, and he was in awe when he seen it.  

Workshops will be $25 per person. Once workshop payment is received you will be sent a supply list and instructions for baking your product at home. E-mail payments will be accepted at info@smashingcakedesigns.com or send an e-mail to us for other options.

You will receive the icing tip as part of your workshop fee so you can recreate this dessert again at home.

This workshop will be running on Thursday September 23rd in the morning from 10:00am - 12:00pm as well as an evening class from 7:30pm – 9:30pm, in Barrie.

Please sign up via e-mail by Monday September 20, 2010 and feel free to pass the workshop details onto your friends.

Horseshoe Tournament

This cake is for a customer that hosts an annual horseshoe tournament.   She thought it would be fun to surprise everyone with a custom cake this year.  
The weather this weekend isn't looking the greatest so hopefully they don't get rained out and still can have their tournament.   If not they can all enjoy some cake indoors :)  

Halloween Cake Pops

I made some sample Halloween Cake Pops the other day.    The kids love these things!  

I am thinking this might be what we do this year for the October Workshop, so keep an eye out for details to come later.
