Rocky Road Cup Cake

 

Hungry yet?  This is one of our latest cup cake creations. At least our version of the “Rocky Road” creation.

Devils Food Chocolate Cake with vanilla flavoured Italian merengue butter-cream (Yes, we use only real butter~!!), sprinkles of Belgian chocolate, pecan nut praline and caramel sauce. 

Has anyone wondered where the name Rocky Road  originated?  In 1917 there was a candy bar invented called the Rocky Road candy bar, which was made from a combination of marshmallow, cashews, and chocolate. Dreyers chose the name to bring a smile to people’s faces during the depression and perhaps bring a little lift to their lives. 

Today we are probably more familiar with “Rocky Road ice-cream”. So this cup cake is for the Rocky Road of 2010.

Crystal’s sweet sixteen birthday cake

Hi Jeannette, Just to thank you once again for a terrific Sweet 16 Birthday cake for Crystal. All of the guests raved about it and could not wait to get your name and telephone number for their future cake requirements.
We were so pleased with the way the cake looked and tasted.
Thanks again,
Tracy Hayes

Pink Safari Pillow Cake

 

 

 Normally I would have used fondant to cover a cake like this. My client didn’t want fondant though, so I had to stick to butter cream. I think it turned out quite well even though it isn’t that easy to get the pillow nice and smooth with butter cream. Many people don’t like fondant, but I have to say that there are some companies that are making fondant that tastes quite good. I use Satin Ice, it is a bit more expensive but it is much nicer to work with and it really tates quite nice

Painted orange Poppy and polka dots

 

Painting on cakes with royal icing is a technique that I really love. It looks great too.

I  made this cake for a birthday, but it could have been quite suitable as a wedding cake too.

The blue Cinderella slipper is made from gum paste. Gum paste is a sugar paste containing either Tylose (artificial gum) or Gum Arabic (a natural gum) to make the sugar paste dry hard.  gum paste is used in the same way as clay or play dough.

I use Satin ice fondant because it is so nice to work with. Much better than a lot of the other types of fondant. It tastes good too.

The cake is a vanilla sponge cake filled with coconut Italian meringue butter-cream and apricot preserve. One of my favourite combinations.

Cake decorating birthday party!!

 

At Jeanette’s Cakes the girls aren’t just having fun, they are also learning. The birthday girl loves the “Cake Boss” and her dream is to become the next Cake Boss. Since her party she is hooked on to this wonderful art form and wants to come back for a class with her mom.

It is my goal to inspire young people to experiment and get busy in the kitchen, whether it is with baking or cooking. It is truly rewarding and leads to a healthier life!!

2 Tier Peony Wedding Cake

A small wedding reception should have a beautiful wedding cake too. Even though the wedding couple were having a really small wedding reception I treated them to a tasting and took the time to listen to what they were hoping for in terms of their wedding cake.

The wedding reception was going to be held at Jonathan’s in Oakville and I advised them to go with something simple and elegant to match the event.

 If your reception is small pick a cake that fits the occasion, if you are having a large and grand reception your Wedding cake should be large and grand too, as it is one of the focal points at your wedding.

By listening attentively to my client I get a good feel for what it is that they want and what will suit their occasion best.
