I’ve been really loving working on hand drawn cake toppers lately for my cakes – I like it because it’s something no one else can recreate, making them original and fun- and boy, colouring really provides me with some stress-relieving joy! I should invest in some colouring books…
This adorable set of yellow umbrella and raindrop buddies was created for Lauren’s baby shower, hosted by her sisters Alissa and Naomi! I loved the yellow umbrella theme – a fresh and fun baby shower theme, don’t you think? Alissa provided me with the invite and I created the toppers based around the umbrella theme. How cute are those blue drip drop cake topper buddies? Heehee!
Here’s a super cute set of cake toppers to match a custom pirate cake I made for adorable Graydon’s 5th birthday party! The neon parrot cake topper made me chuckle. I kind of want to make a parrot cake now. This is nuts, too – I made an awesome Where The Wild Things Are cake for Graydon for his very first birthday party – and now he’s five! Where does the time go?
I adore how the custom toppers bring a cake to life. I loved making these cute little vintage-look ice skating buddies for sweet River’s birthday cake. I made River a cupcake train cake a few years ago for his 5th birthday! I wanted to go ice skating and was craving hot chocolate with mini marshmallows instantly after drawing them. Gad, I’m impressionable! Doesn’t the cake look extra billowy and “snowy” with the addition of the ice skaters? :)
And of course this cutie red fox playing the guitar for my good friend Miko’s daughter Saya’s birthday, based on an image in one of her favourite books. I can hear the plink and plunk of the acoustic guitar right now…
Ahh, too much fun! I love being able to offer something unique and cute, and something I really love doing – I’ve been drawing since I was a little kid. It’s nice to be able to sit down and draw again. I forget I can do that after a long day of chasing after Teddy and baking, photographing and blogging in between!

I love the fox playing the guitar – super cute! And I love that the birthday girl can keep him after the party. When my kids were little they would have stuck their decorations into something at every meal for days!
