Wrapping Up: Tiffany Box, Wedding Cake, Blue Jays, & More!

I just finished the very last cake order I received for this summer. I am moving back to Kingston earlier than expected, so I will not be baking during August.

This is the very first wedding cake I was asked to make! The colour scheme for the wedding was a gorgeous dark pink and orange:

The same weekend, I had an order for cake pops for a baby shower and cupcakes for a birthday party:

This week was dedicated to this Tiffany gift box cake, and a Toronto Blue Jays hat cake:

I want to thank everyone for their unyielding support this summer! Whether it was in the form of a 'like', kind comment, sharing my blog, or ordering a cake, I am deeply appreciative.  Thank you all!

Finally, I've decided to donate 15% of this summer's profit to Shinerama, which is an amazing fundraising event which supports Cystic Fibrosis Canada as part of Orientation Week at universities and colleges all over Canada!

I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer! :)

Tiffany Blue & The Beatles

Made a couple cakes this month for special clients that are very near and dear to me! They were the first people to ever order one of my cakes, and I truly appreciate their praise and kindness during the early stages when I was a minimally practiced decorator.

The tiered cake was for a Sweet Sixteen celebration, with the themes being drama, The Beatles, Tiffany blue, and calla lilies.

This second cake was made to celebrate two graduations, as well as a birthday. It was the first time I've tried painting on fondant. (It was still drying when I took the pictures, which is why the record is glossy.)

Thomas the Tank Engine and Poppy's 1st Birthday!

Here are some cupcakes from Saturday!

Next up is a cake made for my neighbour. The party was themed around the birthday girl's outfit which was mint, white, and decorated with lemon slices.

I'm still accepting orders up until mid-August! :) Contact me at jasmine.lee_95@hotmail.com

Month of May - Minnie Mouse and Mother's Day

I just finished up a cake for a very special little girl's first birthday.  It has been quite a long time since I've made a two tier cake, but it was tons of fun to work on. (Vanilla on the bottom and chocolate on the top.)

I also worked on a Mother's Day/birthday cake for my friend's mom earlier on in the month.

Buen Viage - Ecuador Cake

One of my best friends is off on an amazing adventure this week! This cake was part of her send-off party. I hope you have the trip of a lifetime, Leanne!

Despicable Me Cake

Just finished up a minion-themed birthday cake. The inside is rainbow cake!

Welcome

Hello! Welcome to Cake for College--a blog all about cake and how it will help in my pursuit of attending medical school.

After an amazing first semester at Queen's University, it has come to my attention that I have many years of education ahead of me, and the cost of school can be quite steep. During the summer months at home I will be in search of the all the work I can get!

I grew up around baking and cooking. It brought together my family during holidays, and many of my fondest memories with my mom were made in the kitchen. Let's face it, everyone loves dessert. If you say you're not a dessert person, you're lying.

Over the past two years, I've spent more hours kneading fondant than I can count and making cake mostly for fun and for family events. Clientele slowly grew to include family friends, co-workers, and teachers.  I wanted to create a space where I could post pictures of the cakes I've made, sort of like a portfolio. 

After this semester at school, I will be open to orders! I am open to ideas for designs and flavours, and everything is done out of my kitchen at home.  Cake can be delivered to anywhere in Durham region, and if you're located outside of Durham, arrangements can be made.

Thank you for visiting my blog! Please contact me via email if you have any questions!
