Tried my hand at making homemade marshmallows last week, and they turned out fabulous! They're also KETO!

Last week I was contacted by a previous client from years ago, asking if I was still doing custom cakes and if I had time for a rush order.

It was already a super busy week, but I rarely turn down work- especially custom requests for people who literally can't find what they need in stores (or if they do, its overpriced garbage)!

So I said YES, and got to baking!

This here is a 12" round doubled layered Gluten-free Vegan chocolate fudge cake.
Layered with "orange creamsicle" frosting and citrus marmalade, coated in a dark chocolate cream cheese frosting.
Yes, all Vegan, and NO seed oils!
A homemade clear caramel to top it all off and the guests were super happy!

So grateful to be entrusted with this edible element of the birthday celebration 🎂 🎈 🎉

I made my mom's birthday cake and usually for both my parent's birthdays I make them Black Forest cake because it's their fave.
But this year my mom had a different craving, throwing different flavours at me, this is what I came up with!
3 layers of Tahitian Vanillabean spongecake layered with homemade lemon curd, topped with homemade raspberry compôte, and covered with cream cheese frosting & white chocolate curls.
Some little white chocolate caramel squares and pink sugar to decorate 💕
This is a 10" cake and easilly weighed 5lbs!

The first Strawberry Shortcake of the season, and it sure was a hit!
I received a last minute Birthday cake order from one of my lovely regulars, and of course I was happy to accommodate.

10" round 2 layers of Tahitian Vanillabean spongecake filled with a center of homemade organic Strawberry compôte and a Chantilly cream topping in the "naked cake" style. A nice pile of Callebaut white chocolate curls, and fresh cut strawberries glazed with a little simple syrup to keep them shiny and fresh til the party 🎂

I had some cake scraps and leftover ingredients, so I made a cute little trifle cup for my bestie ☺️

Oh ya know... just making cupcakes in a hotel room in NYC on a random Sunday morning! 😆

Kinda kidding?
Actually, my beau and I traveled to NYC to surprise his big brother for his 50th birthday, and there was a secondary party on the Sunday.
I baked the cupcakes in his family's kitchen Saturday but then they needed to use their kitchen Sunday morning, so I borrowed their mixer and a few spatulas and brought it to our hotel room to make all the buttercreams and Chantilly cream from there, and decorated them all in-room!

Cocktail cupcakes for this beautiful birthday celebration, that everyone enjoyed!

🍊 Orange cupcakes w/ Fireball liquor pipettes, vanillabean frosting, choco-poki, orange candy slice
🍒 Cherry funfetti cupcakes w/ Amaretto pipettes, cocoa frosting, maraschino cherry, rainbow confetti and my favourite (and hard to find!) pink lustre dust 💖
🍫 Dark chocolate cupcakes w/ Baileys pipettes, salted caramel frosting, caramel popcorn & milk pearls
🥥 Tropical Coconut cupcakes w/ Malibu pipettes, pineapple frosting, shredded coconut & chocolate-dipped dehydrated pineapple slice
🍓Gluten-free Strawberry cupcakes w/ Chantilly cream, freeze- dried strawberries, white chocolate curls & my handmade blend of my favourite edible pearls & dusting sugars in a beautiful colour trio 😍
