Pink milk & cookies
It has been quite a year this year! Not only have we said farewell to our oldest son as he ventures out of the nest to embrace his future, but our darling youngest baby has just turned two! Not a big deal to a lot of people I guess, but when you have been pregnant and birthing babies for almost twenty years, this is a milestone indeed! Not so much having a two year old, but having a two year old and not being pregnant with the next one!!!! This is a first for Mama Bear.
21st Birthday cakes
These lovely cakes were made for a special lady whose son was turning 21. After tasting my delicious chocolate pumpkin cake with peanut butter frosting, she was adamant that this was the cake for her son. I put white chocolate ganache on the cake and then buttercream icing. I topped the cake with a hand made ribbon garland.
High tea Luncheon

I decided to throw common sense to the wind and host myself a tea party!!!

Shabby pink & mint Baby Shower
What could be sweeter than planning a gorgeous shabby baby shower for a dear little girl called Imogen? I was delighted to have the opportunity to create this display using soft pink, mint and white as the colour scheme. I wanted everything to be easy on the eye and full of feminine flair!
The Enchanted Garden
Last year I had the immense privilege of making cupcakes for an
“Enchanted Garden” wedding photo shoot showcasing the incredible talent of Josie from
Blue Ombre Celebration cake
These celebration cakes were made for a sweet lady turning 70.
She was wearing various shades of blue, so I chose to make an ombre ruffle cake with matching cupcakes.
The cakes were chocolate with orange & cinnamon and lemon curd with vanilla buttercream.
Peanut Butter & Jelly Cupcake Recipe
It’s that time of year again, and it has crept up on me and almost caught me unaware…or should I say unprepared. I think I blinked and just about missed our lovely six week holiday! It went way too fast.
