Specialty Water Lily and Bow Cake
This Specialty Cake was ordered by a customer from Germany for her mother who is living in Kelowna. Since the daughter could not be here for her mom’s birthday she surprised her with a special cake.
It was lemon cake with raspberry fruit and lemon custard filling and lemon buttercream icing. The cake was then covered in white and yellow marbleized fondant and decorated with a big yellow gum paste bow and water lilies and golden hearts.

Specialty Tool Cake
For the occasion of my dad’s 50th birthday I created this two-tiered cake with tool decorations. I wanted to add a personal touch to the cake and as he is a carpenter the idea for tool-shaped fondant cutouts came.
The top tier is almond sour cream cake with apricot fruit filling, the bottom a chocolate fudge cake with raspberry and lemon filling. The whole cake is iced in cream cheese buttercream and covered in fondant.
The dark and light blue stripes and pearl border match the decoration for the party.

My sister had a chance to shoot a few pictures of my dad with the cake and I am very proud to be able to share them here.

A very helpful tool for polka dot designs or other fondant projects using circles is this round cutter set

The birthday girl’s mom sent this lovely note afterwards:
I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful, precious cake! It was a real hit and we were more than pleased. You did a wonderful job and it tasted like heaven. Thank you for helping make our daughter’s first birthday an unforgettable one.
And she also included some really great, professional looking pictures of the cake as well.
