Sugar high

Wow, last night was great! We tasted about 13 different icing flavours and had to guess what each one was. I thought I would be pretty good at that game (icing and flavours being a particular passion of mine said the overweight baker!) but I was terrible!!! So many different flavours and the electric blue colour of the icing certainly threw me. The upshot is that I think I got two out of thirteen! Some tasted great, think butterscotch and almond, and some were truly heinous! Well to me anyway! Apple? ick, Pistachio? Another big ick! But a truly interesting experience reminding us that just because something might sound tasty, until you actually eat it you have no clue!
Thanks Lynne for that informative night!

Halloween


Last weekend being Halloween, I had an order for Harry Potter's sorting hat. The little girl's class was studying Harry Potter in English class and to cap it off they had a Harry Potter themed party! School is way cooler now than when I went!

First birthdays everywhere!




My nephew Andrew turned one last weekend and my sister-in-law asked for a sheet cake with a couple of his favourite things. Sophie and the remote control! Andrew got his first taste of birthday cake and we've discovered he has a huge sweet tooth! Happy birthday Chuckie!
Last weekend I picked up a last minute order for a first birthday in Mississauga. Design credit for the number one and the stars goes to the London Cake Company in the U.K. This was recreated from a picture on their web-site. Hopefully Ethan had a great first birthday!
