School Books

Yesterday was our book cake workshop.   I took this opportunity to turn my books into something fun and suitable for his Kindergarten class.  

The thing I love about book cakes is that each time you do them you can achieve different looks and personalize them for the recipient. 

This will mark the end of our workshops for the summer months.    We will start back up again in September, so be sure to keep your eye out for updates.   Also you can send an  e-mail to info@smashingcakedesigns.com and request to be added to our workshop distribution list to be sure you stay up to date and don't miss out :)

Book Workshop

A book cake is the perfect cake for the end of the school year. Come out and learn how to make a small stack of books out of cake. Each participant will be able to create their own feel for the books, so we could have some books for the younger kids up to designs best suited for adults.

This is also planned for the last Sunday in June for those of you wanting to send the cakes to school for the end of the year party.

Another Great Workshop

We did a full day of workshops yesterday and what a day it was.   I must say I have some great ladies that come out to the workshops which makes the day full of laughs.   I don't know what I look forward to more, the cake making or the time to hang out with these great ladies. 

We made 2 cakes yesterday a purse and a golf bag.   I didn't do the golf bag cake as I gave my cakes to one of the ladies as she was short on baking time.   Their golf bags turned out great!   I missed getting a photo, but will try to snag one from one of them.

Here is my purse from the workshop.

Fire Helmet

This as a fun cake to make.  I have wanted to do one for sometime so it was great to finally have the opportunity.   This was for a local firefighter celebrating his 40th birthday.  

This cake is a true to size replica of the helmet.

Love of pink

This birthday girl was celebrating her 21st birthday in style.   She loves the colour pink so it was easy to bring in as much of her favorite colour as possible in this cake.

Spiderman

This weekend was my Nephews 2nd birthday.   It was just a small family gathering so I wanted to keep the cake simple but fun for him.   Like many little boys right now Spiderman is a top favorite for them so it was cute to see his face light up when the cake was presented to him.

Welcome Payton

A personalized cookie platter is a great way to send that special message.   These cookies were for the arrival of little baby Payton.   This was a great treat for the new parents and guests coming to see baby Payton.

Congratulations to her family!

Happy Mother's Day

There are so many great Mother's out there so Happy Mother's Day to all of you!

This cake was delivered today to a local retirement home for their Mother's Day celebration.  It was an honor to make this cake for a group of amazing Mother's and Grandmother's.
