I've moved!

To http://littlebirdiebakery.wordpress.com/

Thanks to My good friend at the160acrewoods.com I have moved to a new site! It is not completely finished yet, but the basics, and plenty of pictures are up and I'd love for you to stop by!
I will be running the new site a little differently, posting tips and ideas for weddings and parties, as well as monthly giveaways, so be sure to come visit!

Busy weekend!

Well, this weekend was packed! Apparently Friday was a popular day to get married because it was 8/8/2008... so, i had 3 cakes Friday, and one Saturday. The three cakes Friday were all rentals, customized to each wedding theme, with a real bottom tier for cutting and serving. Here they are:





Congrats Pam and Gary, Krystle and Nathan, Jaime and Curtis!










Then Saturday was another wedding, nice and simple, but really pretty! I loved how they decorated the hall....

Pink and white wedding cake

This cake was 4 tiers of caramel cake, with the top tier being fake. It was really fun to make this one, because i tried out some techniques i hadn't done before, and also because pink is my favorite colour!

Congrats Terin and Riley!

Cupcake Fun!

Just some fun pictures of my cousins decoraing some cupcakes. I am in edmonton for a wedding this weekend and enjoyed playing with my work for a change once the cake was finished!

You're a couple of cuties Q and J!

Cupcakes for a crummy day

No Pun intended!

These were made for a customer who's coworker was having a bad day. You're a good friend Pam!

The cherry on top!

Another cupcake wedding! This time it was 150 cupcakes of various flavors, all frosted with a creamy orange butter cream and topped with a maraschino cherry. For the cutting ceremony, the couple had a red fondant cake, with a orange embellishment piped on to match the wedding invitations. We used a deep red cupcake liner to keep with the theme... a very fun and beautiful arrangement!

Congrats Jenna And Mike!

Black and White Wedding

This cake stand was a custom design, for a black and white themed wedding. They had 100 cupcakes, and a 6inch cutting cake. Artificial red roses were added for color. I really liked this one, very classic, yet modern!

Congratulations, Pamela and Murray!

Guinness cap cake

This cake was for a lady who is a fan of Guinness ( obviously! ). Her husband wanted something special for her birthday, and we came up with the idea of doing a cake that looked like a bottle cap. The year was changed to match her birth year, and i replaced "draught" with her name. The actual cake is a chocolate Guinness cake, so it is Guinness through and through! This cake could be done is many sizes, to serve a variety of guest numbers.

Thanks again to my husband who helped with the small details...

And Happy Birthday Rhonda!

Titanic cake

This cake was for a special little boy who was turning 7 . Apparently , he is obsessed with the Titanic! Well, so is my husband so he took the lead on this one. He designed the ship and iceberg which were both made of cookie, covered in fondant. I will have to get him to help out more often, he did a great job!

Thanks Justin, and Happy Birthday Jaiden!

Cupcake wedding

This Wedding had a flower theme for the cupcakes. Each cupcake was made to look like a rose, with a sugar leaf tucked into every one. The bride made her own custom stands, and did a fabulous job! If you are not so artistically inclined, or just don't have the time, i can build you a custom stand for your wedding.

Congrats Natosha and Jonathan!

Tall tier cupcake wedding

This Wedding had a purple theme, and the bride wanted a cutting cake as well as a cupcake for each of her guests. The stand is available for rental, and can be up t0 6 tiers high.

Congrats Amy!

Chocolate brown and Turquoise

This cake was designed by the groom! The inspiration came from the invitation ( he designed that as well!) which included chocolate brown vines with two different turquoise flowers, on an ivory base. The top two tiers were fake, and the bottom was an amaretto sponge cake covered in rich chocolate fondant. Yum!

Congrats Danielle and Jon!

* Custom cake plate was made to match the cake

Nice day for a White wedding!

I loved, loved , loved making this cake. Sure, it was a lot of work, but it was a lot of fun and it turned out great! 4 tiers made up of butter rum, vanilla and chocolate cake.

New rental cakes

Here are three new styles for my rental cakes. I have to admit I had some help from my little sister who was up this week for spring break. Remember, all ribbons and fresh/fake flowers can be customized to your wedding colours!

Football cupcakes!

Here are some yummy football themed cupcakes i did recently. Perfect for spring!!

Wedding Cake on a budget!

Here are just some examples of what you can do with a simple white square wedding cake. Things need not be complicated, and it can also bring your costs down! These cakes are actually display cakes. These rental/display cakes can be square or round, customized with your choice of ribbon and/or flowers , and paired with a delicious sheet cake to be served to the guests. No one will know the difference, and it can dramatically reduce the cost of your cake. Rental cakes can be as low as $40, leaving you plenty of room for other wedding expenses. Feel free to email for more information!

Happily Ever After.....

This cake was done for a young, fun loving couple!

Congrats Kailey and Tyler!

Spring is almost here!

So why not celebrate with cupcakes or a cake??

Instead of flowers, why not send a bouquet of cupcakes?? you can customize the colours , size, and flavors to suit you, or whoever you are treating!

As always, there is free delivery within the city, so go ahead and send some to school with your kids, or maybe to a friend at work!



Don't forget to ask about my chocolate Guinness cupcakes for St. Paddy's Day!!

Secret sister cupcakes!

These cupcakes are for a secret sister.... they were made to look like a dozen pink roses!!

Happy Valentine's day Kirsten! From your secret sister!

Purple flower cupcakes

I got a request all the way from Massachusetts for cupcakes the other day!! What a great friend, to order cupcakes from that distance!!

Happy Birthday Carol!!

Pretty Pink Birthday Cake!!

Well, today was a bittersweet day, because my daughter turned one!! We had a great time and i made this cake to bring to the restaurant we were celebrating at. Needless to say, the birthday girl was very happy!!

Red Serge Cake!

Well I got another request for an RCMP cake all the way from Vancouver. I was asked to make a cake to look like the official uniform, the red serge. This was so much fun!! I almost hated to give it away :) This was a graduation present for one of the cadets.

Congrats Darcy!!

Be Mine!!

Here are more treats for Valentine's day. A small Heart cake, and a cake Lollipop! These could be personalized to say just about anything!! Covered in butter cream and fondant, decorated with fondant flowers.

Valentine's Cupcakes!!

As promised, here are more Valentine's treats! These cupcakes are vanilla, raspberry, and vanilla with raspberry filling. Can you tell I love pink? Enjoy!

Valentine's cake

Well, i am gearing up for Valentine's Day now. Here is one of the several items i will be featuring from now until February 14th. It is a heart cake, made of my extra moist chocolate cake, iced in rich butter cream frosting. Stay tuned for the other featured Valentine's desserts to come this week and next, like cupcakes and mini-cakes for two.

Chocolate Guinness Cake!

I adapted one of my moms "famous" chocolate cake recipes , switching the coffee with Guinness stout. I carved the outside, covered it with fondant and painted the Gold logo on it to make it look like a pint of Guinness. This cake came out really well. Because it was carved i got the chance to taste it, and even though i don't like beer, i really enjoyed it.

R.C.M.P birthday cupcakes!

I got a request all the way from Vancouver, to make cupcakes for someone in the R.C.M.P training facility here in Regina. I decided to do red icing, to resemble the red uniform, and make little hats out of fondant. This was so fun!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALVIN!!
