It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!


It's snowing like crazy out there and I'm loving it! We're busy making Christmas treats, cakes and of course decorated gingerbread cookies. We've managed to squeeze in a few cakes as well. Right now is also the time when we are gearing up for the big wedding show in early January, which means that we're making show cakes to put on display. Needless to say we're working non-stop in order to get everything done before our Christmas Holiday. We're not letting you get a sneak peek of the show cakes yet though, you'll have to wait a little longer...


One cake we did this week was a Japanese stuffed animal character, I'm unsure of his name. This time he got stuffed with chocolate banana cake, Yum! I must say he's a very cute little guy.


Until Next Time,

Gingerbread Factory!


It's that time of the year again! Chestnuts are roasting, marshmallows are toasting and Tartlets has turned into a gingerbread cookie factory! Most of Delany's Coffee shops are now carrying our decorated little treats. They come in a snowflake, a tree and the classic gingerbread man design, hurry to Delany's to try them!

Mitra celebrated her 30th Birthday in style at the upscale Pan Pacific Hotel, Vancouver. To match her taste we made a simplistic but cute cake. Inside was a strawberry and vanilla mousse, yum!

Also, there's a fairly new Vancouver based food blog I've started reading, http://www.vancouverslop.com/ . It's a dream come true for serious foodies that want reviews of local restaurants without the fancy-pancy language and terminology; they say it like it is. Vancouverslop writes about 'Whole in the wall kind of places' as well as high class restaurants. Anyways, it's a refreshing way to read about restaurants in your neighbourhood. Check it out today!

Until next time,

Nina
