The kids’ favourite potato salad

This is a very traditional southern potato salad recipe. If you want to be decadent you can sprinkle some crispy bacon pieces over it.

The Koala cakeThe challenge here was to make sure the head, ears and arms stayed in place through transport in July heat....They were attached with icing and wooden skewers.

three chocolate mousse cake

Tomates cerises caraméliséesCe plat est très festif! La confection demande une certaine dextérité. Attention le sucre fondu c'est brûlant!

Toucan cake /Dec.2020I was asked for a toucan cake, so I made a lemon flavoured cake, covered it in green butter cream and dripped some green glaze along the sides, to imitate a jungle foliage. The birds were made of fondant while the leaves were made of almond paste, and the perches were cinnamon sticks. Because this was during the pandemic, we had to present the cake outdoors doing a snow storm, so I chose a special flower candle that rotates and plays music for a good while, and can withstand cold and snow.

Train cake/ July 2013This is simple and allows for a lot of creativity. I baked my cake in large rectangular pans. I cut them into train car shapes and garnished each one with a different load: cinnamon sticks, smarties, pop corn, life savers, etc...The wheels were Oreo cookies and the chimney is part of a small ice cream cone covered in chocolate.
