Have you done this before? Because I have! 
I laughed so hard the first time I saw this. This is so “MY” humour. Hope you got a giggle out of it too!

Baking with Wongfu Productions
Wednesday, February 27th, 2013If you’re a big Wongfu Productions fan like myself, love baking and lame humour — you’ll appreciate this video! I couldn’t stop laughing. Somehow I could see my future husband trying to “impress” me by making a cake studded with half a Hershey’s bar and Chinese new year candy, decorated in store-bought (way too sweet) icing with a whole pack of candles stuck sideways into the cake. That’s love. Enjoy! 
Notable quotes: “Why isn’t this cake pretty yet?”… “I have a new found appreciation for people who do this for a living”… “This is sky blue icing… and it comes with these discharge units” HAHAHA… oh dear.
Let’s Party! :)
Sunday, January 27th, 2013While people look forward to Fridays and say, “TGIF!” with great enthusiasm, bakers are groaning because Fridays are equivalent to others’ Mondays! I haven’t fully immersed myself in work yet (baby steps!) and have been snuggled up from the cold weather, watching movies all week and found this snapshot in my photos tonight and wanted to share it with you.
Yep, these are my peeps!
Happy Monday!
Monday, June 11th, 2012My FAVOURITE day This was a pic I snapped over the weekend. This little fellow was on the top tier of a cake I made for a baby shower that came with matching cupcakes. The theme was “chicks + nests”… you can see them as a BLUR in the backdrop.
Warm Fuzzies
Wednesday, March 14th, 2012Remember the Kai Lan/Thomas cake a few weeks ago? I had encrypted a secret message at the back–a direct quote from the show itself.
If you’ve never heard of Ni Hao Kai Lan, check it out:
Okay, so I messed up the quote a LITTLE… it’s suppose to be “You make my heart FEEL super happy”. I got most of it right… that counts, right? I want a daughter like Kai Lan (yes, I want a daughter made from colours and lines!
)… someone who is fun, adventurous and has a soft spot for her grandparents. I just realized that this girl’s playful spirit captures the one I had when I was young. Except I didn’t play with lions, monkeys, hippos and koalas that aspire to be pandas. But seriously, how fun would playdates at my house be?! (“FUN” and with lots of parental supervision!)
Angry Birds
Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012I’ve made an amazing discovery on this blogging system! — actually, two people told me about this (in one day, oddly enough) — automated/scheduled posts! Now I can write all my entries in one day and schedule them so they will upload automatically. HOW BRILLIANT!
My friend Charles wanted to order a cake for his nephew STELLAN. Seriously, how cool is that name? All he said was, “ANGRY BIRDS” (surprise surprise?) and “CHOCOLATE” and gave me full executive powers to make all the decisions for the cake… I was soooOoo excited! This is what I came up with…
I always wanted to do a GREEN Angry Birds cake. If you’ve noticed, all the ones I did in the past were blue which makes sense since the birds are being “flung” into the sky… and sky = blue. I wanted to change it up and be different so I used a green and brown combo (so I can texturize and emboss a cobblestone pattern on the brown tier). I also wanted to create more of a STORY and play on the “angry” emotions so I came up with this part…
I just love how that one pig is mocking the birds by putting himself in the slingshot. I think maybe, JUST MAYBE, I should make ANGRY BIRDS CAKES as my signature cake design. What do you think!?
Hello Princess!
Wednesday, November 30th, 2011My first “go” at a fondant tiara was super successful! I’m extremely happy with the way it turned out and from start to finish, it took 30 minutes! My brother ordered this for his boss’ farewell party on Friday. Everyone calls her “princess” because she gets what she wants at work (so he tells me). So it’s quite fitting that it’s a PRINCESS cake. The best part about this tiara was painting it in rainbow sparkles! Y’all know how much I love, love LOVEEEEE sparkles Show you the pictures later!
Emile + I
Wednesday, November 30th, 2011Disney’s RATATOUILLE is my all-time favourite movie and that should come as no surprise. One quote that the French chef keeps repeating in the movie is, “ANYONE CAN COOK” and I truly believe that. Just as anyone can cook, anyone can bake as well. (but that doesn’t mean everyone SHOULD cook/bake )
One of my favourite scenes is this one…
… because Remy reminds me of myself. I love tasting food bit by bit, letting my tastebuds enjoy every new flavour and texture. And I believe when certain foods are paired together like errr… strawberries and swiss cheese (?), fireworks happen.
This is my brother, Emile…
I’m not sure how my brother’s palette work but it is certainly not as sensitive and discerning as mine. I always joke that he’s like Emile – his fireworks are broken! I saw a bean bag chair with Emile’s face on it at the Disney Store a long time ago and was going to get it for him but I realized it was just a big furry brown blob with ears and a smiley face… so I didn’t
Noah’s Ark Cake
Monday, October 10th, 2011
This cake was extremely fun to make (as I’m sure you can tell). I was a bit nervous about putting a cake with so much detail together but everything worked out. Aiden loved it
The animals were way too cute with their bright colours and beady eyes.
Like these tigers!
And hippos! These were my favourite
I wanted to do something fun so I stuck an elephant’s butt in the doorway of the ark. My cousin saw the elephant head above and the body below and thought it was a crazy, warped elephant. How cool would that have been?
We had this at our family’s Thanksgiving dinner last night and it was deeelish! Dark chocolate cake with strawberry buttercream. 4 LAYERS! I love how the colours of the cake and buttercream contrasted each other… black, pink, black pink… mmm!! :p Thanksgiving is my favourite holiday of the year! I LOVE turkey but more than that, I love autumn so any holiday during this season is GREAT!
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Wishing you lots of “blessings” on your list
The Anatomy of a Cupcake
Friday, September 30th, 2011
I watched an episode of Cake Boss last night (S04E24) for the first time in a long time. I used to watch their new episodes every Monday night but I missed the last 20 weeks! How did I forget about it? Anyway! Buddy and his 3 kids were making cupcakes for his wife and his 10th wedding anniversary. Their goal was to make 1000 cupcakes and arrange them on a table that said, “Marry Us?” (sounds cheesy, but it was adorable!).
They were all at the bakery and Buddy asked his kids, “Okay guys… how do we make cupcakes? What’s the first ingredient we need?” there was a long stretch of silence and his youngest son, Marco exclaimed, “FONDANT!” Soooo adorable. Marco, and his blond hair and striking blue eyes, is my favourite
Shannon from What’s Up Whimsy sent me this a while ago and I haven’t had the chance to post it. If only I could be this creative with my styling/photography skills. I’m practising!
Have a great weekend! See you all on Monday
