Holding onto summer 🍓❣️

with this 6” lemon French cake with buttercream strawberry design for a FIRST birthday!! 😍

I love the subtle colour contrast the cream gives among the piping and strawberries. One of those less is more designs. 🥰 would love to do more of these! 

@thenancybakes is still on pause for custom orders. But keep your eye out for 🚨“up for grabs”🚨

Welcoming September 🍂💫 

…and everything that comes with it ☺️ 

This mini two tier wedding cake successfully made it to the mountains for an intimate elopement. 🏔️ i couldn’t be more thrilled and honoured to create their favourite @thenancybakes flavour for their special day. 🍰 

I’m so grateful for all the couples I’ve had the privilege to work with this year! Truly fills me with joy to do this and one of the huge reasons why I continue to create. 🙂‍↔️🤍

I love the vintage look of these photographs that also just say… fall 🤭

Am I doing this trend right 🤪

Also, kinda chic to love, create and/or indulge in flavours: 
Taro coconut 🥥 
Matcha strawberry lychee 🍵
Salted choco chip cookies 🍪 
Cherry cheesecake 🍒 

Happy summer August!!! We’re finally getting some sun 🌞 I’m currently paused for custom orders but don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re missing some baked goods. Feedback is always welcome and appreciated 🤗 taken in Edmonton, Alberta by @thenancybakes

5 reasons 🌟 

1. It increases the number of servings when you need just a few slices but don’t want to get a large one tier cake 🎂 

2. It’s a great centerpiece 🤩 and elevates your event by 3-fold. Seriously!!

3. Popular for baby cakes and special events, you can always save the top mini tier for your immediate family then serve the regular tier to guests 🥳

4. There’s more canvas space to play with which helps bring your vision to life 🪄 

5. Last but not least, there’s more to LOVE 💗 because you know someone’s going in for a second slice and before you know it, there’s none for you! Thank goodness you ordered a mini two tier 😉 

Mini two-tier cake for a special 2nd birthday in taro coconut 🥥 flavour! 💜 grateful for freedom design and while I don’t do fondant typically and this cakestomer didn’t ask, for some reason I was compelled to use theee for the balls! But just fyiiiii for everyone please don’t ask me to use fondant in the future thanks 🙏 ☺️ 🤪

Oh! Darling! 💐 

One of my fav styles of cakes is letting the texture, strokes, colours and placements speak for itself. Less truly is more 🥰

Traditionally, there’s usually a “front” part of a cake, the side you face for presenting and serving. 🍰 however, this was intended to be enjoyed at all angles and honestly each angle has its moment and I don’t know which one I love more!!! What about you? Option ABCD 😅

8” chocolate pistachio cake, inspired by another cake style (see story!!!) 🍫 

P.s. limited august dates are open and will close soon 🙏

I DID A THING 🤭🎉 

I got to use my love of cakes 🎂 👉🏻 turn it into a metaphor 💭 👉🏻 and develop a creative lesson with @norquestcollege on boundaries 🎞️🥹 

If you’ve been following awhile, you know how incredibly important it is to me to practice an ethical, safe and healthy baking business. By caring for myself and my brand, I’m able to prioritize my creativity and ultimately my clients, aka what i call in my world, cakestomers 🫂. And again, if you know me, you know they are why I do this!!!🤍

I’m amazed to see this wonderful community agrees with these values I’ve been sharing for so long and honestly likely a large reason why this opportunity with @norquestcollege happened so seamlessly. 🫶🏻 #thankful 

At Norquest.ca/contentcreator, you’ll be able to learn more about the content creator certificate program. AND, if you’re super curious 👀, you may just find a lesson (on top of this one) developed by yours truly (fun fact: I make cupcakes in them) 🔗 

Thank you to everyone for following along and supporting this journey, all things CAKE and all things (like this) BECAUSE of cake 🍰🥰

Dogs are family 🐾 

and they get the same care I put into my human cakes (maybe even more 🤣).

💓 5” 8” tier cake (LOVE!) with Teddy’s dog-friendly cake at the top, and Mom and Dad’s human matcha cake at the bottom. This is such a fun idea and great way to incorporate dessert for everyone 🤭

⚫️ back in black ⚪️

You may recognize this look 👀 
This drip cake style is an evolved version of my designs “back in the day” aka when I first started. Once in a while, I love throwing it back to this.

Here’s what we got: 
◼️ real drip chocolate ganache
◻️ whipped buttercream
◼️ made in-house salted chocolate cookies
◻️ and layered with your OG fave: cookies and cream 🌟 
Oreos too. Only the real stuff here. 😋

Hope you like cake, cause I sure do 😌😌😌 taken in Edmonton, Alberta by @thenancybakes
