So little sleep, So many cakes! {LYC Weekend Recap: Love Birds, Boarders, Ponies & Heros}

This was the busiest weekend so far, of 2013 - and MAN did we feel it!!

Who needs sleep when there are cakes to be delivered? NOT US, that's who!! At 2am on Saturday morning, the Passion Pop was popped, and the glasses were poured, and we settled in for another 4 hours to get that last cake of the night done! Oh the endless joy of being entrepreneurs!

After cleaning up the kitchen and ourselves, we loaded our little batter babies into the car and set out to stuff some Vancouver faces with cake!! WAKEY WAKEY - WE HAVE CAKEY!!

First up: The Canadian Shandy & The Kiwi Sam were getting married, and this little gem was a combination of New Zealand and Canada.  We were super excited to do a red wedding cake, and this order was lots if fun to make!

The whole set at SteamWorks in Gastown - Gorgeous venue for a gorgeous couple!!

The next cake on the list was a "Skate 2" themed cake for Jake, who might have a slight obsession with the video game (but only slightly ;) 

This hand-painted fondant Mango cake let me have the chance to put a bearded hipster onto a cake, and there is nothing more Vancouver then a bearded hipster!!

One of my all-time favourite cake was requested for Jiselle's 5th birthday - Presenting:

MY LITTLE PONY CAKE!!

And finally, Wendy wanted to surprise her husband with a Superhero Cake for his Superhero Surprise 40th Birthday Party!! She had three requests:

-wolverine

-spidey

-hulk

and...BATMAN!!

We hope Steve took a big bite out of crime (get it? batman? crime? cake? HA!)

de ne ne ne ne ne ne ne Edible BATMANNNN!! 

Big Thank You to all you wonderful cake lovers out there - Big things are coming next weekend, and if you happen to be in Yaletown next Saturday April 20th between 10am-5pm, LYC is giving away FREE CUPCAKE SAMPLES at ReFashion Vancouver!! 

COME SAY HI!!

Re-Fashion Vancouver: Shop, Get Pampered, Eat Cake!

Love Your Cake is SUPER excited to announce that we will be a sponsor at this years Re-Fashion Vancouver!! A day full of shopping, fashion, free cupcakes and CAKE! What more could you possibly want?!

cake pop swag bags

Re-Fashion Vancouver is a one-day shopping event held in downtown Vancouver 
in the Spring. Part high-end clothing sale and part wild shopping party, it’s 

the only event of its kind in Vancouver, and designed for condo-dwellers and
fashionistas to be able to come together, make some cash by clearing out 

their closets, and buy new and nearly new clothes at deep discounts, while 
getting pampered with free mini makeovers, hairstyling and manicures, along 
with sweet treats, savoury eats, and refreshing beverages.

It's not a swap meet and it's not a flea market - it's not about swapping
one piece for another or selling used clothes - it's about selling the stuff 

that you never wear that's brand new or nearly new (The guideline is that if 

you've worn it more than 3 times, you can't sell it at Re-Fashion). The idea
is people who live in apartments don't have the ability to have a garage 

sale, and it's hard to reach the fashion-shoppers, so this event brings 
everyone together in one place!  

Love Your Cake will be giving away FREE SAMPLES (yes, you read that right) of the following:

And if a sample is not enough, you will be able to purchase a cupcake and/or cake pops to take home with you for later! Mmmm..Cake....

Now for the best part - We will be doing a GIVEAWAY that will be revealed at the event! Stay tuned for more details closer to the event!! FREE CAKE! Dreams DO come true!

The event is on April 20th at the Yaletown Roundhouse Exhibition Hall - DON'T MISS IT!

Justin Bieber Cake

I 'beliebe' that this may be the best cake yet - 

Simply because I happen to absolutely adore Justin Bieber (no shame whatsoever), and when challenged with the opportunity to create an "obsessed Bieber fan" cake for Jacinta's sister, Sarah - I was as excited as a teen girl standing outside of the Biebs hotel room balcony!!

I hope that wherever his newly 19 year old self is, that he sees this cake, and feels the love.

*makes heart symbol with hands*

Presenting (the entirely GLUTEN-FREE):

JUSTIN BIEBER CAKE!!!

Entirely Edible Bieber Cake!

Biebers Hair tastes like sugar

I actually googled "obsessed Bieber fan mail" and found this little gem!  I thought it worked well with the theme so I signed the note from the birthday girl ;)

Biebs at Rogers Arena anyone?

This part was supposed to resemble the "Laces Out" scene from Ace Ventura.

Thank you, Jacinta - for also having no shame and openly loving this 'sexi boi', and Happy Birthday Sarah!! When you smile, I smile...

xoxoxo

Pink Zebra Cake

This was my first attempt at Zebra stripes, and I didn't have time to take fancy pics, but I am quite happy with the results.

The last thing in the world I want to do right now is make a cake with hearts on it, but - a cakers gotta do what a cakers gotta do.

Presenting: PINK ZEBRA CAKE!

Happy Birthday Cheyenne - Eat Cake!

Simpsons Cake

When I was asked about doing a cake for the upcoming YVR Beer Tweet Up @ The Park, a few ideas ran through my mind...beer, cake, beer....hmmm....

None of the ideas though, were quite as exciting as the idea to make a cake based on the Simpsons episode, where Bart & Lisa drag their Aunt Selma to Duffland, and go on "The Little Land of Duff" ride.

Lisa drinks the water, insanity ensues, and everyone know the classic song that gets stuck in your head for days.

"Duff beer for me, duff beer for you - I'll have a Duff, you have one too!"

One does not simply make a Simpsons cake. If you're going to do it - you have to do it justice...

This cake was not only made of beer and bourbon, but it also played the Duff Beer song on loop for everyone! Lucky them!

Now Presenting: 

The Little Land of Duff Cake!!!

*all cake decoration is hand-made, no printers used, and is entirely edible*

Double Chocolate Stout Cake with Vanilla Bourbon Icing

"Lisa, drink the water!"

Duff beer for me, duff beer for you..

all hand painted fondant, with edible food colouring gel 

I AM THE LIZARD QUEEN!!!

Here are some additional photos of the cake, up close and Simpsony!!

On Top of the main cake, it also happened to be the birthday of Jonny & Jamison!

Both of these guys worked so hard to put on a great event, they needed to have their own beerthday cake!! 

And because someone made too much batter, we also threw in 4 dozen "Duff Beer cap" cupcakes!

HUGE thank you to Nick and Jonny for hosting such a great event - I would happily be a part of any upcoming event you have planned!  

Thanks to Jamison at The Park, for keeping those Carlsbergs coming - and thank you to Park Vancity for covering the parking!

Thank you SO MUCH to The Park, The Whiskey Dicks, everyone who came out to the YVR Beer Tweet Up and of course, The Simpsons!

Can't wait till the next one - my hangover, however.....
