Hello Kitty Cake Balls!!

These were such a treat to make. Little Hello Kitty Cake Balls!

I had intended to make them into cake pops, but it was a super-last minute thing, and it seems that EVERYONE where I live is currently MAKING cake pops! Soooo, everywhere was sold out of the little sucker sticks. OOPS. (it's fine now, I have plenty, I ordered them)

I love making special cake balls like this, the shapes, etc. Hand-painting them it even more fun!

They were Mint Chocolate & Carrot Walnut Cheesecake, and the little pink ones you see in the box were Strawberry Cheesecake cake balls.

Lots of new flavours on the menu!

Perfect cake balls & cake pops? Call Adair Weddings!

Cheers!

iPad Cake!



This one was FUN. my friend Ricki wanted something special for her husband, Rody. As Rody received an iPad for his birthday, it ONLY made sense to also make him an iPad cake!


She also made him an ADORABLE iPad birthday card, personally, I think the card took the cake! =)



The cake was my double-chocolate cake with a dark chocolate ganache & buttercream. I used my white chocolate fondant (handmade, just delicious!!), and then I hand-painted the rest of the details, with pieces of gumpaste for the "buttons".


Truely a fun cake!!




"Yes you can have your cake, AND eat it too!"

Luggage Cake!


Back in March, I was given some creative liberty to create a cake for a Bridal Shower. The couple are just adorable, an older couple. So, I went with the theme of what a Bride in the 1950's would have to go on her honeymoon.

Luggage trunk, cute little handbag, nosegay, box of "jewels". It was a blast! Every detail you see is made of some sort of sugar work.





Their wedding was just yesterday (March 19, 2011), and I also handled that event as well. As soon as I obtain the edited photographs from the photographer, I will post them!

We did over 700 miniature cupcakes, a small oval 2-tier cake, and GORGEOUS flower arrangements. The large Curly Willow with Hydrangeas, and stunning hanging crystals!


More to come. I'm working on updating much of the recent work we've been swamped with. Much thanks to my intern, Kaylin, who is going to be a FABULOUS event planner in her own right!! I couldn't do it without her!

Cheers!

Gluten-Free Cake

So, I know that there is ALOT of interest in Gluten-Free food these days. And, so, at the request of a lovely bride of mine who recently found out she had Celiac's, I embarked upon the gluten-free bandwagon.

WOW. Just WOW. After tinkering with a little recipe, let me say, I just might like my gluten-free chocolate cake BETTER than my double-chocolate cake (which is MY favorite cake). Wow. It's smooth, yummy, melt-in-your mouth, chocolatey goodness!!

Now, this particular gluten-free chocolate cake is NOT dairy-free. It does have a butter-base, which I think gives it the lightness and yumminess.

Call us to order your gluten-free cake! Pricing will be higher than our normal cake pricing, due to cost, and the need to use seperate equipment to avoid cross-contamination. Our buttercream frosting and fondant is also gluten-free, this is something Adair Weddings has always been careful with, keeping with fresh ingredients and using a base for our fondant that keeps it natural and yummy.

We're still working on a gluten-free, dairy-free cake. If it's what you are looking for, contact us, as we're more inclined to experiment upon request!! =)

Cheers!

Julia
