Or..something like that. Maybe not in Greece, but resembling Greece! So my old neighbor asked me to decorate a cake for a friends 50th birthday, and the birthday theme was Greece! So I decided to come up with a Santorini inspired cake! I used fondant for the top and cut it out to look like the skyline, with the famous blue doors and roof. I used graham cracker crumbs for the sand and made a vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream =) I like the way it turned out, and the birthday girl loved it!

I was asked by a friend if I could make a cake for a wedding shower/house warming party. She had looked online and gotten a few ideas, and I told her to e-mail me what she would like. I was so happy to see which cake she had chosen! I had always wanted a Tiffany & Co little blue box cake! And as a plus, the bride to be was named Tiffany! So it was perfect. I decided to make a large blue box for the bridal shower cake, and two matching little cakes for the houswarming. The shower was pink themed as well, so I wanted to tie it in with the cake. I also made tiffany colored cupcakes to go with it, with little mini white fondant bows to match. Now, I had used fondant before to decorate cakes and cupcakes, but never for an entire cake covering! It was really easy and fun. If you have’t decorated one before with it, I would definitely try it out!

Needless to say the bride to be loved the cakes! She saved one of the smaller pink boxes to bring home to her fiance! Here are some pictures of the finished cake, and a couple of the bride to be and myself!

Alysha & Myself ( Alicia! ) Cannery Princess’s. We share the same name and birthday! 20 & 21! I am now legal in the states! =)

So June 5th was my 21st Birthday!! The whole day was so much fun! First off, I went to see my cousin before his Grad all dressed up in his suit! Complete with a pink shirt, very sharp. Then I met my friend for a pedicure and starbucks! Then shopping, lunch and finally out for dinner with family to The Cannery Seafood Restaurant! For those of you who don’t live in Vancouver, The Cannery is one of the best restaurants in Van! It’s right on the water and “Since 1971 The Cannery Seafood Restaurant has maintained its outstanding reputation as a prime Vancouver dining destination in one of the busiest ports on the North American continent.” It is amazing! I love seafood, so it was a great choice! I didn’t even know where we were going until we got there, it was a surprise! Here are a few pictures of the restaurant and the delicious food we ate. (more…)
