Marr's 30th Anniversary

When you are old and you're kids are in the mid-twenties, I wish to you a Kendra Marr. Here's the short version of the story: Kendra's parents did not have the traditional wedding 30 years ago. Thusly Kendra hosted a faux-wedding anniversary extravaganza for her parents. She asked for a cake - she got a cake. I asked Fraser to bake it since he has the gift of the baking & that resulting in this 14 inch monster. It doesn't sound like but, but it is when it comes to cake. I think I used about 4 -5 pounds of icing on this. It was chocolate cake with butter cream icing & coconut on the outside. Even Kendra's dad liked it. As Kendra put it: "When George Marr says something's good, you know it's really good". Anywhoodle, onto the cake:

Jenna's Habs cake for John

Jenna and John are getting married [congrats!]. Jenna decided to surprise John, a huge Canadiens fan, with his very own cake for their engagement party. She gave him the whole schpeel that she ordered a simple black and white for the event, but alas, she tricked him. She reported back that it was a hit with the boys. Therefore, smiles all around!


[note on one of the pics: it appears to be wet. That's because it's painted fondant. Literally, I just paint fondant with fondant dye & a brush. It remains slightly tacky since solid sugar (fondant) isn't too keen on being wet]

Happy Halloween! Kendra and Alex's Stag and Doe Cake

We are currently in the 5 week period that I am calling the most busy time of my life (for now). You are getting this preamble because this is the first non-fondant cake in a long time, therefore a time saver. Actually, it was also pretty stress-free since I didn't have to yell at said fondant. University friend, Kendra, and her husband-elect held a stag and doe yesterday. They wanted a cake to go with their Halloween theme.
