Jamaican Rum Shack

This was a last minute cake order that I received this week.   The customer went on a trip to Jamaica recently with some friends and is getting together with them for dinner tonight.   So to bring back the memories of Jamaica what is better then a Jamaican inspired cake for dessert......okay, while maybe some Jamaican Rum would have also been appreciated.    So I came up with making this Jamaican Rum Shack for them.

Sorry I have been absent for awhile.   We were without internet for some time so I wasn't able to upload photos onto this site.
 
This one was for a 40th birthday party.  The whole cake is edible.

I will post a photo soon of another cake that was made in February.   I am going to offer a workshop on the cake, so will post a photo with the workshop info.....so stay tuned.

Goodies for school parties

The kitchen was full of chocolate today.   Lots of chocolate lollipops are ready to be handed out in school on Valentines Day. 

Looking for something different to send with your kids?   Punch a hole in your valentines card and put them through the ribbon on these lollipops for the kids to hand out this year.  

A few more Valentines treats

While being snowed in the other day, I decided to make the best out of it and bake some fun treats.   

These mini cupcakes are chocolate with cream cheese icing and a fondant heart. 

 

Do you remember those little heart candies with all the sayings on them?  I have seen a few cakes done up like the candies and just had to make one myself.    Why not personalize your own cake?  Add a fun message, someones name or maybe a Valentines proposal.

Zoo Themed First Birthday Cake

This cake was for a little guy turning 1.   His Mom requested a Zoo themed cake, then gave me full freedom to come up with a design.     I have been wanting to attempted another gift box cake for some time now so I thought this would be a perfect 1st birthday cake that also let me play with some techniques.  

Happy 1st Birthday Calum!
