Owl Cake

My friend Rosie is in love with Owls. Her birthday was in May and she originally seen a two-tier Owl cake with Cherry Blossoms. I was asked to re-create it using a one tier and this was the result.

I made the cake more of a tree stump for the Owl with a few cherry blossom branches sticking out.

She absolutely loved her cake and I am happy that she did.

The side here is to allow for the stump and roots effect. If you look closely, you can see the lines engrained into the fondant as though it was actual bark.

Retirement Cake

One of the Legal Assistants at my job was retiring this past April. I was asked to make her a cake which she absolutely loved. I'm happy you enjoyed it and I wish you the best!

This is the first cake I baked since my Accident back in March and it was fun to do.

 This colour purple was achieved using "Deep Purple" from Artisan Accents. I bought this at Icing Inspirations in Kitchener, Ontario, however this can be bought directly from any baking website including Artisan Accents and Icing Inspirations.

I wish I had this line of Artisan Accents colours 2 months ago, but I have them not and I am thoroughly enjoying them. They keep their colour and you only need a drop or two to get a deep colour such as this purple. If you bake a lot and spend time using more and more colour to get a darker shade, than this system is for you!

Beautiful & Effortless colour.
