iPhone test

This is a test for Sam - blogging from an iPhone
not the easiest to do, and I can't figure out how to add photos, but it's doable.

Stephanie's Birthday

June 12 - Stephanie wanted a cake inspired by peacock feathers. Hmmm ... that's was a challenge (and the third cake of the week!). Tried to do peacock silhouette but wasn't terribly successful. So I ripped the foundant off and started again, this time with flowers, which were a little better. At least there were peacock feathers on top.

Shevawn's Birthday

June 10 -  for Shevawn's Special Birthday that ends with a zero; a Coach bag - to match her tiara.

Sam's Convocation

June 9th - A spring kimino in honor of Sam's graduation from UofA with a major in Japanese. She'll see many kimonos since she'll be spending the next 9 months in Japan.

Samantha's Birthday

Sam didn't want a 'shape' cake for her birthday because she doesn't like fondant.

So instead I did a quadruple chocolate raspberry layer cake.
cake, mousse, meringue, mousse, raspberries mousse - repeat
topped with mousse, whipped cream, more berries and chocolate shavings. As Nate said "it's the perfect Sam cake"

Jim's Birthday

Last year in Cabo, Jim hooked a couple of marlin. In honor of that (and in lieu of hanging one on the wall) this marlin celebrated his birthday. FYI - Fresh raspberry filling makes great fish guts :-)

Shoes or a dishwasher?

All Brenda wanted for her birthday was a dishwasher. Unfortunately she had to endure the kitchen renovation that came with it. Although she wanted a dishwasher cake (since the kitchen reno wan't completed in time)  the shoe was really more appropriate for the girl with 200+ pairs.
