Christmas Traditions – eBook

November 25, 2021 by Aaron Leave a Comment

The Holidays are my favourite time of year. They are a time where we gather with friends and family to celebrate the love for one another. And to remember and celebrate the life of the Lord. The lights. The decorations. The tree. The Nativity. The music. and… THE FOOD! No matter where you find yourselfView Post

Razor Sharp Edge… Every time!

November 6, 2018 by Aaron 1 Comment

As we progress down our caking path we are constantly looking for ways to improve what we already know. Sometimes learning something new can take quite some time to master, however I am willing to bet that this technique will take mere hours to master. YES… mere hours… I hear you saying it now: “What couldView Post

Pumpkin spice is all the rage and this cake will not let down the pumpkin spice lover in your life!
This tender crumb is moist and delicately spiced with the warm spices of the season. Cinnamon, ginger, clove and nutmeg marry beautifully to give you a bite of fall and will have your taste buds dancing!

Realistic Sculpted Sneaker Cake

September 19, 2018 by Aaron Leave a Comment

As cake artists we are often challenged with the task of creating cakes that don’t actually look like cakes. For me this style of cake is my favourite, it allows me to think outside the box of how I can make cake do something it’s really not supposed to do. It also allows me toView Post

Sculpted Sir Topham Hatt Cake

April 11, 2018 by Aaron Leave a Comment

Year after year I am faced with the challenge (well actually 4 times a year) of what will I make for my kids (and wife’s) birthday. While the kids are younger the themes are usually pretty simple and straight forward, the challenge comes when you need to figure out how crazy I will go withView Post

Bringing all the fall feels…

September 26, 2017 by Aaron Leave a Comment

Pumpkin, Apples and Spices YES PLEASE! It’s that time of year when the air gets crisp, the wind has a slight chill and the leaves start to change. Heading to the farm with the kids to see the animals, run through the corn maze and pick out our pumpkins is always a great tradition. WeView Post

Tall, Dark and Handsome…

September 20, 2017 by Aaron Leave a Comment

The title really says it all. “I’m not your average height, I’m on the darker side, I’m pretty easy on the eyes and I’m looking for my perfect match!” No, this is not a dating add, I’m happily married and besides, that’s not even me… well maybe the handsome part! I love classic parings, theyView Post

Nanny’s Chocolate Cake

March 20, 2017 by Aaron 2 Comments

I can’t be the only person who thinks Nan’s are wizards… with a twist of the wrist, a tinkle of their nose and crack of the dish towel and… BAM… Fresh baked goods. Hair still freshly pinned, not a spec of dust on the apron or a single dish in the sink. Wizards I tell you… Wizards! SoView Post

Cherries, Cream and Chocolate… Yup… Black Forest

March 20, 2017 by Aaron 3 Comments

So many classic flavor combinations bring us to a place of memories. Take us back to some place in our youth, like sitting at gramma’s table eating homemade blueberry pie (boy did she make a mean pie) or when mom would make her melt-in-your-mouth Shortbread… I can just close my eyes and taste them now.View Post
