Did you see my previous cake? How insane is wafer paper! You will definitely see more of me experimenting with this cake decorating medium like wafer paper crinoline tulle using @floreacakes recipe:

6 g of wafer paper (1 full sheet, or use scraps)
100 g cold water
Some pearl lustre powder
A couple of drops of white food colouring gel

Blend together (I used an immersion blender) until homogenous. Pour a couple of tablespoons (I used 3 for my large non-stick frying pan) in a hot dry non-stick pan and swirl around. Lower heat to medium. Using a rubber silicone spatula spread the mixture around the pan to spread it thinly. As soon as you see the wafer paper pull away from the pan, remove and place it on a sheet of parchment paper. DO NOT OVERCOOK or the lace will become brittle. Clean the pan with a paper towel and repeat. Store the lace in a ziplock bag separated with parchment paper.

What I learned: wafer paper lace hates moisture, so apply to the cake last minute and avoid the fridge.

This was the tallest and biggest cake I’ve ever made. Was it stressful? Yes. Did it break me physically? Yes (couldn’t walk without pain for months after this). But totally worth it and I’d do it all over again. Why? Because I love bringing cake joy to people 🤍

My baby sister got married last year and I made this for her and her husband. Yes. It’s been nearly a year and I’m still trying to catch up on cake posts!

The cake guts: double barrel 8-in, 8 layers of white velvet cake with strawberry jam and fresh raspberries, wafer paper flowers, vanilla SMBC. The cake topper was Polaroid pics of the bride and groom that they took of each other after the ceremony.

When was the last time your Caesar salad was made RIGHT at your table?!

@petersfinedining is one of Markham’s OG steakhouses, serving up that classic old-school dining experience that’s getting harder to find. 🥩✨

We came for the tableside Caesar — creamy, garlicky, savoury and packed with umami — and stayed for the 24 oz bone-in ribeye, tender and cooked just the way I like it. 😋

🎂 We were also celebrating @hungry.jo ’s birthday, with a beautiful cake by @bakingzen to end the night on a sweet note! ❤️

Sometimes the classics are worth revisiting — or discovering for the first time.

I'll be featuring another OG steak house next month! Stay tuned

👇 What other OG Markham/GTA restaurants should I visit next?

1. Unicorn cake guts: 9-in white velvet cake with Vanilla SMBC decorated with lavender piped roses.

2. Crumb coat (with hubby washing my mess).

3. Create ombré effect.

4. Smooth, smooth, smooth…

5. Apply steam (while trying to avoid first-degree burns) to wafer paper to create curls for the petals decor.

6. Forget to film myself piping the rosettes and applying the blush, so here we are.

7. Ta-daaaaa!!
