The Quiet Before the Storm

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I decided a much-needed break was in store for me and I went to Edmonton to visit my sister and her family for a week. I did lots of shopping, stayed up and drank tea with my sister and had lots of "girl-talk" and played with my nephews. THEN, I came back home and the STORM hit - the storm of cakes, that is.

Been craaazzy buzy with cakes, so I'll just make it quick and give you a quick peek of a few of the cakes we have completed so lately.

Recent Cakes

Sorry, it's been a couple of weeks since my last post, but I have BEEN BUSY with cakes. Let's not forget it's summer vacation and the kids are STILL at home. Cakin' can be, well, a bit challenging when you have kids hanging around, cause their bored, or it's too hot to do anything.... and the list goes on. Anyway, here some of the recent cakes we have created recently here at Just Like Gram's

This cake was created for another couple who had a hunting and outdoor theme to their wedding.

This brown and fuchsia wedding cake was created for a small wedding. The bride and groom also chose to have their monogram on the cake.

This simple cake was created for a couple of ladies who were celebrating their birthday together. Cake was lemon with raspberry cheesecake filling, traditional buttercream covered in light green fondant. The cake was adorned with sugarpaste flowers and butterflies.

This past weekend I created this wedding cake. It was made to replicate the bride's aunt's wedding cake. The bride chose fresh Gerber daisies to adorn her cake.

Just Like Gram's finished off the week with this traditional wedding cake. The bride chose a design based on one of Martha Stewart's wedding cakes. She, however, changed the colors to black to match her wedding colors.

I said I have been busy lately, didn't I?

Black & White Camoflauge

I created this cake for a couple who were married this weekend. The groom was an avid hunter and they planned a wedding with a hunting twist to it. Since their colors were black and white, we decided to do a black and white camouflage wedding cake.

When I went to set up the cake, the banquet room was set up in very formal black and white colors, but on each table surrounding the centerpieces was a small antler. It looked very elegant, yet keeping in with their theme. Congratulations!

Retro Blue

A simple 2-tier cake requested by a customer who wanted to surprise his girlfriend on her 30th birthday. He wanted to get her an "extra-special" birthday cake to celebrate the occasion. Isn't that sweet? I love it when I get men who call and order a celebration cake for that "special" woman in their lives.

A Western Wedding

This weekend I created this Western theme wedding cake. The bride had seen a cake I created earlier based on my own wedding dress and wanted a similar design. She had pink roses adorn the cake with straw flowers she had grown and dried herself. A western bride and groom topper completed the overall look of the cake. Congratulations Robyn.
