Whether you call it aubergine, plum , eggplant, or just dark purple , these shades have found their way into elegant affairs. Some would say it has been used royally as the focal color with metallics like gold being the accent and in other ways the neutral when paired with a vibrant color...
Color plays a huge role when it comes to designing the wedding cake, let alone setting the tone to the entire event. I want to share some color “cake flashbacks” to show different ways we have brought a color to the sweet life (pun intended.) First up, Coral. There’s something very happy and elegant about coral in which ...
Recently Sanaa and Fidan’s sweet table was featured on the Amy Atlas blog (the queen of dessert tables.) Back in July a designed this sweet table and cake for their reception which included a cake inspired by Sanaa’s Amsale dress and framed macarons and meringues. Enjoy!
I have something colorful to share today. Recently this cake was featured in Dubai’s VIVA wedding magazine as a collaboration with the talented wedding planner’s behind Carousel . I was asked to design a golden wedding cake for a colorful and luxe wedding spread. I look forward into sharing more details soon but for now check out the...
Last weekend I taught another Haute Couture Class at the Bonnie Gordon College of Confectionery Arts last weekend. It was such a fun group of talented cake decorators and I enjoyed sharing my couture techniques with them and look forward to seeing their future successes in such a rewarding career. I get asked a lot how long I’ve...
This past year I’ve been very fortunate to teach some lovely classes. I’ve been flown to New York for a private class here and there and also been going to Montreal for private group classes. I really love mentoring some of the most passionate cake decorators I’ve ever met. I also teach a regular Haute couture class...
I just had to blog this five tier white wedding cake. The lovely couple said their I do’s in a beautiful art deco movie theatre turned venue, The Eglinton Grand in Toronto. For the design we did pearl painted and embossed tiers with ruffle trim and fantasy fashion flowers. It’s funny when I first started decorating...
For the most part I do believe that everything on a cake should be edible. Partly because I’m a tad of a purest when it comes to baking being raised in farm country where the eggs in the christmas cookies were from my Grandma’s hens down the road and the strawberries, rhubarbs and apples in...
Okay maybe I have too much fun with the chalk board in my cake studio but I photograph most of my cakes on that wall because it has the best light to capture the cakes with windows in front and to the side of it. I recently been getting a lot of good feedback on...
I can’t believe it’s already October! I saw some leaves start to fall today and it made me think how quickly the summer came and went. I spent most of the summer focused on creating unique cakes for my lovely 2011 couples. One couple I was looking forward to making their cake was Liz and...
Last weekend I actually had a week off cakes because I went to Montreal to teach a fabulous group of cakes decorators. I got to teach a fashion inspired cake class and share my couture cake skills. It really was a stellar class and you ladies really rocked out those couture cakes! To be honest...
In the current issue of Wedluxe Magazine, you’ll find a Sea/glass inspired inspiration shoot. The shoot had some inspiration from both artisan glass and nautical colours. So for the design I did a pulled sugar (isomalt) and crystallized sugar cascading design. It’s nice to use different mediums from time to time even if it means...
Designing a cake for a couple is not just about technique and decorating but knowing how to style it to their tastes. I usually like them to describe the feel of their cake in few words, and as I’m creating every touch of their cake I literally have those few words echo in my head. For Emily and Davis those words...
You gotta love the color pairing of bright fuschia and deep purple for this wedding cake. For the design, the cake had deep purple sugar orchids and fuschia peonies to embellish the cake covered in A - symmetrical fondant ruffles. With royal icing I hand piped and painted silver these feathers with pearl accents. The flavor was...
I love using grey or really any neutral to complicate more vibrant colors and shades. For this pumpkin cake (one of my personal favorite flavors), green sugar orchids surrounded the lifted tiers with vertical grey pleats and ruffles. I wanted to create a detailed yet clean cake for Natalie (the Bride) and her wedding at the Ancastor Old...
