Cakes

So I've always said "I don't do cakes, I'm a cupcake girl", but lately I have been making a lot of cakes because of my new business Sweet Table. Now by no means do I think I'm a great cake decorator, I don't use fondant and don't know if I ever will but I really like working a pastry bag over larger surfaces.

I wanted to share with you a couple of my latest creations. Most are red velvet cakes and my new favourite butter cake recipe from Sprinkle Bakes.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter and Passover everyone! Today I wanted to share with you some of the pictures from the shoot that was featured in Amy Atlas. If you haven't baked something for the holiday maybe some of these pictures will give you some inspiration.

My business SweetTable.ca was one of Amy Atlas's featured blogs yesterday. Please go over and take a look at the post and let me know what you think.

Here are a couple of screen shots of the post.

We are so excited that we were posted on such a great site!

Spring Sweet Table

Wow! It's been a month since I last posted. I bet you thought I had abandoned the blog. Well no fret folks, it's just been a busy month with moving and starting a new volunteer gig two nights a week and starting SweetTable.ca.

I finally baked in my new place which was pretty exciting, I have a lot more room to move around and to store things. For this sweet table, I made homemade marshmallows, Oreo truffles, cupcakes and a green ombre rose cake. They all turned out great and I can't wait to make some more marshmallows; I think it takes a bit to get them to turn out just right.

The pictures from the sweet table aren't back from the photographer yet, but until then here are some shots from my iPhone.

We'll put some more photos up later!

St. Patrick's Day is fast approaching

Green Minty Milk Shake from Scrumdilly-do!

There are so many goodies that I want to make for St. Patrick's Day.  I can't decide, green cake balls, Irish Car Bomb cupcakes, Leprechaun shakes, etc.  So I decided to do a little round up of pictures to help me make up my mind.

All of the pictures are from my contacts in Flickr.
