Ok everybody, we’ve made it to the last step of making our gum paste edible roses! If you’ve been following me for the past little while, you would have first learned to make the Rose Base, then the Rose Bud, and then the Medium Rose. Today we’re moving on to the next step: the full […]
Let me tell you, making gum paste roses (which definitely requires both hands) and taking pictures of the process (alone) is not easy. Especially when the sun dips behind a cloud every few seconds, making my camera settings need to be adjusted frequently. I feel like I should win some kind of prize… Anyway, on […]
Continuing on from My Last Post, today I’m going to teach you how to make the second part of the edible rose… The rose bud! Before we get into it, however, I want to remind you: my rose tutorials have longs lists of tools and instructions, but don’t be intimidated! They aren’t that difficult, once […]
Hey everybody! Today I want to start the process of teaching you how to make a simple gum paste rose; i.e, an edible, realistic looking rose for decorating cakes. The beginning of the process is simple: the rose base. The reason I say “Simple” is because I’m going to teach you how to build the roses […]
This is my classic, go-to, easy vanilla buttercream recipe. I have used this for thousands of cupcakes and many many many (did I say many?) cakes! Rather than making this and then photographing one set of cupcakes to go with this post, I just hunted through my years of cake decorating photos to showcase a […]
I recently had the joy of making this adorable little woodland creature themed cake for a baby shower, and… I loved it. I’ve been in the mode of “Wanting to make more cake tutorials” for my blog, so I’ve taken a select few orders for cakes that fit the types of things I want to […]
Hey everyone! A little while ago, I shared some pictures of this decadent dark chocolate cake, and I sort of teased that I *might* share the recipe for that black-dark chocolate buttercream. So, today, I have decided to do it – It is soooooo amazing looking, I just had to share! The recipe is super […]
A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of making these sweet onesie cookie favours for my sister-in-law’s baby shower. The shower was “Winnie-the-Pooh” themed, and it was a gender reveal shower as well– meaning that I didn’t have a particular colour scheme to work with. So, I opted to make onesies featuring sweet little […]
I love spring, and these simple, sweet blossom cookies are just perfect for this time of year. I’ve made cookies like this as favours for bridal showers and weddings, or just as a sweet treat to welcome the season. Regardless of whether you’re serving these on a pretty plate with pastel napkins or packaged up in […]
I was asked to make these football cupcakes a few weeks ago for a friend who loves my cakes, and well, can you say no to a friend who loves your cakes? I certainly have a hard time of it, that’s for sure. And so, my little football toppers were born. When to use these […]
