Feast or Famine?

One thing about the cake business is either it's really quiet and you go for a week or so having few orders and you wonder "HUH, What's going on?" and then all of a sudden, "WHAM!" you get hit with customers ordering cakes all at once and wanting them all on the SAME day. That's just the way it is! This week at Just Like Gram's we had one of those crazy weeks. We completed 2 wedding cakes, a whimsical tilted cake and a last minute "work farewell" cake. Enjoy!

"Alice in Wonderland" theme bridal shower cake done in colors of black, red and white. Cake was decorated with sugarpaste playing cards and clock.

We received only 48 hours notice for this last minute small wedding cake. Cake was adorned with gumpaste butterflies and gumpaste purple blossoms.

Another small wedding cake created for this weekend. Simple and elegant with the dark navy blue bow and gumpaste flowers.

Another last minute cake order. We completed this cake in 48 hours too. Cake was created for a work farewell party. Springtime yellow with gumpaste butterflies and blossoms.

Just Like Gram's on TV

FINALLY!!!

If you remember in January, I blogged about an impromptu interview I had with a local reporter from CJDC-TV, our local news station. So, after all this time, I have finally managed to get a copy of the interview and upload it for all to see.


SO, (drumroll, please......) here is my claim to fame, my moment in the spotlight.... Enjoy!

Sometimes All It Takes...

is a happy smile. I made these whimsical cupcakes swirled with vibrant shades of buttercream for a young girl's birthday. Each cupcake is topped with a fondant butterfly. When the young girl came with her dad to pick them up, her eyes lit up with joy. She was soooo happy! That's all it takes sometimes to make your day...a child's happy smile. Happy Birthday Victoria!

Charlie and the Flowers

Every cake created here at Just Like Gram's is personalized for every client. This cake was created for a lady whose favorite color was lavender. The one thing that was requested that we include was her favorite dog, Charlie, a wee white Scottie dog.

Figure Skate Cookies

Yes, we do cookies too. We can create any shape, size or theme of cookie for whatever the occasion may be. We were commissioned to create these figure skate cookies for the Fort St John Figure Skating Club Gala event this week.

Because You're So Special...

A couple of weeks ago, we received a wonderful email from Kristy who wanted to do something special for her grandma who was turning 75. She wanted to order her a special birthday cake to celebrate. After talking to Kristy, I could definitely tell how strongly she felt about her grandma. It touched a personal note because I, too, care for my grandma. In fact, it was my grandma who taught me how to bake and has passed on her trusted recipes and her knowledge to me. No wonder, I named my business after her. Kristy chose a playful, whimsical design incorporating the February birthstone "amethyst" colors within the design.

I recently received a call all the way from the Northwest Territories. A lady wanted to order a birthday cake for her little girl. She explained that she was coming to Fort St John to do some shopping. Yes, larger business centers are a bit scarce north of Fort St John, and that her daughter would be celebrating her birthday while they were in the area. She chose a similar design I had completed in the past but with "girly" pink colors with lots of flowers and, of course, a chocolate "princess" crown.
