Heritage Gingerbread House!

This amazing Gingerbread House is part of Park Royal's Christmas decorations and it's well worth seeing... A very fine work! 
In case you are feeling like doing your own (on a smaller scale) come to Michaels, West Vancouver.  We are having our Gingerbread House workshop there, and you don't even need to bake!  Come and find out!

Here we go again... Christmas time!!!

December 1st.  Time to start baking.  If you are looking for a good recipe for Gingerbread Cookies, you may click here!  And the recipe for the Sugar Cookies, here!  Both types of cookies can be decorated.  Happy baking!

Hydrangea baby...

This cake and cookies were done during the summer months for a baby shower with a Hydrangea theme.  It was a real pleasure to make.  Edible Hydrangeas were done in buttercream with tip 2D.  I just found these pictures... They bring a summer breeze to this dark rainy day!

A chocolate tree!

A chocolate cake layered with ganache and raspberry, and then covered with chocolate buttercream to create this 3 tier chocolate tree.  A lot of fun to make for a very wise owl!

Remember...

Topsy Turvy with duckies...

I usually like to use buttercream for my cakes, but for a topsy turvy cake, sometimes fondant works quite well...

Red Riding Hood cake...

When people say:  "Do whatever you want... I will leave it up to you!"... It's kind of hard to choose a design... But for this cake, I knew the birthday girl had worn a Red Riding Hood costume for Halloween... So, there it is!  With the bad, bad wolf and everything... Very sweet, indeed!
