Friends, if I ever design a rollercoaster, don’t ride it. However, should I design a cake with a rollercoaster on it, feel free to eat it.

Baked for the sole purpose of taking pictures of it (frosting those styrofoam cakes seems odd and taboo to me)

What You Missed
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on 03 23rd, 2009| icon3No Comments »

Okay, aside from not actually updating this site in a while, sometime over the holiday, the server deleted some of the last few posts. Here’s what you missed (or rather what was deleted):

  • CupcakeCamp.ca launched! It was awesome.
  • I wished you Happy Holidays
  • I posted a recipe for a Pastry Lasagna - I will likely post it again (God bless the Facebook RSS feed - who knew Facebook would actually serve some sort of purpose?)
  • I bitched about self-rising flour and provided how to make your own (will also re-post since it’s pretty useful)

What I failed to update you guys on:

  • CUPCAKECAMP TORONTO! January 25 was an exhausting, chaotic, yet amazing day. Met some GREAT people and learned quite a bit on how to make the next one better. Looking forward to it. Here’s the play-by-play!
  • I made Watchmen Cookies - I’ll post pics later

That’s all me these few months, baking-wise. I’ll do my best to keep on top on my baking shenanigans.

Out.

As my second baking pet peeve (a part from my lack of blogging), I hate when frosting warms in your hand as you’re piping and thus losing its pipeable consistency. I was using the leaf tip once and after a few minutes, it started looking like a random blobby strip on my cupcakes. Le sigh…

Disclaimer: Not altogether pleased with how Grover or the sign turned out. And Big Bird’s eyes should be smaller… Okay, I’ll stop now…

My First Wedding Cake
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on 04 9th, 2008| icon3No Comments »

This past weekend I was honoured to be recommended by a friend to make someone’s wedding cake. This is my first big gig and I gotta tell ya… I was nervous big time! But the final product was to my liking. Very amateur but I was later told the bride and groom LOVED it — and that all makes it worth it…

A Proper Introduction
Posted by admin in Uncategorized on 01 8th, 2008| icon3No Comments »

Welcome to one of many baking blogs out there! I, in no way, ever claim to be a professional. Hell, half the time I’m just experimenting with flavours, tastes and decorations but then again, aren’t we all?
