Classic Wedding Cupcakes

There is just something special about having your very own (cup)cake to enjoy and savour.  These cupcakes show how they can be made and served elegant and sophisticated.  These beauties will wow your guests both when you serve them and when they taste them.  Here, a mix of vanilla and rich chocolate cupcakes, all topped with a lovely swirl of vanilla bean Swiss meringue buttercream are served with fresh fruit.

Rose Garland Wedding Cake


I made this cake for a bridal shower, but I think it would be equally lovely for a real wedding or a special occasion birthday. The cake, my wonderful White Butter Cake, had a Raspberry Filling and was covered in White Chocolate Swiss Meringue Buttercream. A custom rose petal garland and a beautiful single rose on the top made this cake extra special.

Shawn Wilcox Photography

A special thank you to my beloved husband who patiently takes pictures of my cakes for me.  He has a lot of talent, and while food is his least favourite subject to photograph, he does so anyways! 

If you are interested in checking out his favourite subjects to photograph, check out his blog at:

It's really great!

Butter Crunch

                         thank you to Shawn Wilcox for the photo of the "Butter Crunch"
                                                                                     
A perfect gift is a beautiful box or celophane bag of "Butter Crunch".  As with all my products, this one is entirely handmade, from cooking the sugar until it reaches the hard ball stage, roasting and chopping the almonds and tempering the chocolate, you will be hard pressed to find anything like this made entirely of natural ingredients or made fresh just for you.  As always, this product will be beautifully packaged and ready to give.  E-mail me to discuss pricing.
