Happy Birthday Justine!

Justine's mom was having a surprise Casino-themed birthday party for Justine's "Sweet 16". And she wanted a fabulous cake to complete the look. So here's what we came up with...

3-layer cake (each layer a different flavour: Chocolate, Vanilla, Cherry chip)
Fondant over buttercream icing
All details make by hand using fondant
I think even the back side turned out pretty good!

Happy Sweet 16th Birthday!

Happy Birthday Sophia!

For Sophia's 6th Birthday party, she wanted to have a beach-themed party. What a perfect way to celebrate cool November when you crave the warm summer weather.

The party was held in the Town recreation center all decked out with palm trees, hawaiian leis, picnic food like fruit and mini sandwiches, and 2 kiddie pools filled with water for the kids to swim! What fun!

And, of course, the cake...
(I can't take the design credit, Thanks to Cake Central for the inspiration)

Triple layer - Bottom is chocolate, middle layer is vanilla, top is Cherry chip cake-mix flavours.
Covered in buttercream icing and fondant.
All of the details - including those tricky palm trees! - handmade by me using fondant.


Thanks Sophia (and Sophia's Mom)! Loved how your cake turned out!

Booky the Bear Visits

The kids from our playgroup decided it was time to come for a visit to The Chocolate Moose Bakery to make some delicious muffins.

Some of the kids weren't very happy about putting on hair nets and aprons - they thought they looked "silly". I must agree, aprons and hair nets are not exactly stylish ;)

Overall, I think everyone had a great time cracking the eggs, pouring the sugar, and mixing all of the ingredients together. And then everyone got their own bowl with a spoonful of batter to customize their muffin - some chose to add apples and cinnamon, some added blueberries, some added chocolate chips (my personal fav), and some added a little bit of everything! Yum!

While we wait for the muffins to bake, we may as well clean up :)
Michelle, the coordinator, and son, Brody, who we are told is quite the up and coming baker!
Great fun!

Zoie's Wedding Cake

Zoie was coming "home" to Newfoundland for a visit with her parents. Her boyfriend suggested they take the opportunity to get married. She figured, "Eh, why not? We've been together for 16 years already."

So, she called up her father and he - because he's super organized - started making all the last-minute arrangements himself.

He called us for catering and for a wedding cake.

When Zoie arrived in town, she came by The Chocolate Moose, with her older sister, to discuss her cake options. Basically she said, "I'm really easy-going. I honestly don't care what the cake looks like as long as it's pretty." And with that, she allowed her sister to choose.

She chose a traditional pillared 3-layer "old-school" cake - 16" marble cake, 12" chocolate cake, 8" vanilla top cake -with white buttercream icing and just a tiny bit of green flowers and beads added.

It was my first time making a wedding cake like this and I'm quite pleased with the outcome, despite a few flaws in technical decorating technique.

Zoie, Thanks for allowing me to make the cake for your special day! Congrats!
