It's All About Cakes

One of the things that I like to do is cooking and baking.  I love when I can figure out the recipe to dishes that I love to eat in restaurants.  I also love doing cakes for my girls’ birthdays.  I have learned, with the help of mr. google, how to make and use fondant. I personally don’t like to eat the fondant, but man does it ever look great ;)

I thought I would share with you the cakes and cupcakes I have made in the past 4 years.

 

Here's Audrey's Cakes:

 

Her Baptism Cake. This was my first ever cake covered in fondant.

 

 

For Audrey's second birthday, my brother and I decided to celebrate my nephew and Audrey at the same time. They were born only 6 days apart. I went with a bug team. :) Valérie helped me with some bugs. Can't you see which one?  She was almost 5 at the time.

 

 

 

My little pumkin LOVES  Lalaloopsy, so for her 3th birthday, it was to be assume that the cake would be just that ;)

 

 

 

 And to her demand, she wanted an Hello Kitty cake for her 4th birthday, which was last week:

Now on to Valérie's cakes:

She was so in Mickey Mouse Club House at 4yr.  Here's my version of the cake:

 

Which girls doesn't like the princesses? Valérie at 5yo.

 

Then last year, it was all about BRAVE (6yo)

 

Who knows what she will be asking me this year lol

 

Here's 2 more cakes that I did for my babysitter children this year:

 

 

And finally, but not the least, cupcakes that I did. I was very proud of how these turned out! They were a really hit.

 

These were for Valérie's teacher babyshower.  She is also one of my collegue.

 

 

And these are the one I did for Valérie's classmates at the end of the school year, this year.

 

Wow, what a long post this is lol

 

So do you make your kids birthday cakes or to you buy them?  Do you let them choose the theme that they want?

 

 

 

Hobbies

Reading has always been a passion of mine.  Went I actually read, I could litteraly "devore" a good book.  Growing up, my mom used to get mad at me because I always had my nose in a book. She always complained that I should be more outside.  I would go, but bring my book with me ;)  I read has much in English that I do in French

I'm presently reading, for at least the 5th time, the first book of the Anne of Green Gable collection.  It is however my first time reading it in English.  Wow!  is there ever more details then in French.  But like everytime I read these books or watch the movie, I feel like a child.   I just love this collection.  I do have the whole collection (8 books) in English.  I also bought the DVDs last year.  Jane Eyre and Harry Potter are also books that I have reread a few time.

Which book can you read over and over without ever getting tired of it?

Completed project

I'm very proud on how these turned out!!  I'm curently working on two more, but this time for my nephew Hugo.  I had made two for my other nephew Brandon, but totally forgot to take a pic of them.

Did you ever made something for a baby has a gift?  If so, what did you make?
