Mothers Day Contest

Every month at C & K Custom Cakes we do a draw. Each month the contest is different and so is the theme of the prize. For May we naturally did a Mothers Day theme. The winner was given a choice between 12 cupcakes or a small cake. I actually knew the winner this time and she picked a cake.

I LOVE doing fondant flowers, I am not a girly girly by any means but fondant flowers are fun and so pretty once they are done!

This cake is vanilla with vanilla butter cream icing.

Brave birthday cake

I had fun making this cake and watching the little bears come to life.

This cake is chocolate and vanilla. The only thing that is non-edible on the cake is Brave herself.
The number   is made out of white chocolate!

Cupcake Bouquets (First attempt)

It has been a long time since I have blogged, things have been very busy I am hoping to get all caught up with my blog posts including a new update and photos of Owen!!

I decided around mothers day I would give a new idea a try. They are called cupcake bouquets, now my first attempt wasn't that great and I haven't really had time to work on them.
These photo's show the basic idea on what I was trying for.

I am hoping once things slow down a bit I will have a chance to get them perfect!

Our first mom to mom sale

C & K Custom Cakes (It is a business a friend and I created) did our first mom to mom sale. It was a lot of work to get everything ready for it plus we had cake orders and a 70 mini cupcake order all for the same weekend. We were there from 7am until 3pm and we had a blast, Krista and I were so busy we hardly had time to think. We met a lot of wonderful people and had a lot of great feed back from our products.
Our sign and business cards were made by Tom and his crew at Sure Signs in Sarnia he is awesome and I wouldn't go anywhere else.

We had a lot of fun doing this event and can't wait to do the next one!!!

First communion cake

This was a very last minute cake order on an already busy weekend. It is not what I would say is my best icing work but for the short notice I think it turned out very pretty.

The cake in vanilla with vanilla buttercream and fondant flowers

Mothers Day 2013: Owen update!!

I know this is delayed, but the week before and Mothers Day itself is one of 2 "holidays" that are very hard for me.
This year I kept myself busy, was an emotional basket case as normal and got to spend BirthdayMothers Day (The Saturday before Mothers Day) with my niece Keira.
Mothers Day Richard, Keira and I went out for breakfast and then we took Keira to her moms. We had lunch with Richards dad and I spent the rest of the day puttering around the house.

I text messaged Owen's adoptive mom on Mothers Day as always, we wish each other happy Mothers Day and she gives me a quick update on Owen. He is doing awesome and is getting so big. He starts school in September and is so excited about it. He is 3.5 years old. He can count, sing his ABC's, read small words such as mom, door, dad, etc. He can print his name without help, most of his ABC's and some of his numbers. His adoptive mom says she feels bad for his teachers because he will correct you when you are wrong.
Owen has always been smart and loves to learn its amazing how much of a love for life he has. They are planning on going to Greece again this summer for a couple weeks last time he was there he was 6 months old. Time sure flies!

I will upload a picture once I have a new one.
