Cake Impersonation

Every once in a while, a couple will come into our shop wanting a non-traditional wedding cake. Caroline and Cameron are such a fun couple! They brought me a photo of a cake made by one of my favourite cake designers, Elisa Strauss, and asked if I could do something similar for their wedding. Typically, my answer would be no to recreating some one else's work of art, but these two were too cute to say no to...and I love nothing more than a totally wonky wedding cake. They called it their "cake impersonating a cake".

Here it is in all it's yummy glory!

And as a surprise, Caroline had us create a groom's cake for Cameron.

Congratulations to the lovely couple!

Sweets and Treats and Lots of Fun

As promised...photos of Kenna's first Birthday! I'm just gonna let the photos do most of the talking.

The fun invitations made by Pink Polka Design (photo from Jenelle's Blog). Jenelle also made all the signs for the games, the big poster for the entry way and the dessert table tags!

The Dessert Table (we had mini donuts, peanuts, cotton candy, chocolate mustaches, cupcakes, elephant sugar cookies, salt water taffy) On a side table we had a popcorn machine, cotton candy machine & old fashioned sodas.

Party Favours (Dumbo books for Kenna's friends and photo cards of Kenna with a mustach for all)!

Pick-a-Duck
Kenna's 2 year old cutie-pie cousin Izzy was later on found swimming in the pick-a-duck!

Kissing Booth guessing game

Petting Zoo...I didn't get my baby elephants or miniature ponies, but we got all sorts of fun little creatures!


Fat Franks...the bill was something like 59 smokies, 61 hotdogs, 30 hamburgers, 20 cheeseburgers, 5 bacon cheeseburgers and a partidge and pear flippin tree consumed by our guests...who also ate BBQ and Filipino food served up by Ken's parents! CRAZY!!!


It's not a party until the bouncy deflates on the children attending the party...so many kids that day...waaay too many and only 1 cried...

She partied all afternoon...

...and got all tuckered out.

How do we top this for next year? WE JUST DON'T. Kenna gets a little birthday party at home with pancit, pizza and cake (if she will actually eat it)! Thanks for reading!
