(Edit: DAY 3 )Tuna Challenge! (Food Art!!)




Hello! So I bought a huge ass can of tuna (from Costco of course lol), it's a better deal than to buy the small cans.. but when I got home, I realized if I ever open the can of tuna, it's gonna be a whole week of eating tuna for breakfast, lunch and dinner! So I've been dreading to open it. 


Well, I finally opened it yesterday... finished up most of the foods in the fridge, so we can eat nothing but tuna all week lol. 

Day 1: Tuna Melt Sandwiches


Day 2: Tuna Casserole with cheese and veggies!


 

 So, after 6 tuna melt sandwiches and a pot of tuna casserole, I still have 90% of the tuna can left! 
Hahaha.. noooo! I need to use it up... any tuna recipes? Send them my way! :D

(Uh oh.. I went from cucumber hearts.. to a house the next day, plus I took a pic with my SLR camera,
that means I'm serious lol.. I think I found a new hobby... FOOD ART!!!)

Day 3: Avocado Tuna Salad!



Doing food art is so much faster than caking! Took me less than 5 minutes to make the bear.
 The bear's saying "LOVE" to you by the way!!

Tangled cupcakes, Stewie cake, Prada Purse cake... Spiderman cake..!

 More custom fondant cakes! This is what I do at home when I'm not at my day job lol..
I should really get out more, but I love caking too much :)
 

Prada purse cake with Tiffany gift box and some eye shadows with NARS nail polish.
Everything is edible!



Close up of the fondant eye shadow make up, I painted them with edible glitter dust.


A wedding cake I made for my friends, fondant purple flowers.  I've never made a 'taditional looking'
wedding cake before, the bride had sent me a pic of a wedding cake she wanted.. and I tried my best
to make it look like the picture. I found this traditional style more challenging than a custom style with characters haha.


 Spiderman cake!


I loved making fondant Stewie as a cake topper! I could've made just one Stewie figurine,
but the person who ordered it have been getting cakes from me for years.. she's just lovely,
she has always encouraged me to keep making cakes :) I had to give her 3 Stewies hehe.


I googled around for different Stewie facial expressions.


2 angry Stewies and had to include one soft side Stewie :)


Tangled cupcakes! I saw the movie at the theatres (that's a huge deal since I usually stream my movies online haha), it was such a cute movie, I hope I get another Tangled theme cupcake order!


Wedding cake with heart shape pans! Finally got an order of heart shaped wedding cake,
gave me a excuse to finally use my heart shaped wilton pans, I bought them 2 years ago and never had 
a reason to use them ahha!


Here's the happy newly wed couple as cake toppers!

I'm super excited for this weekend, I'm making 200+ cupcakes plus a huge cake for the mayor of Markham 
to cut at a badminton event! I'll post up pictures for sure!

How To Make Fondant Sushi CAKE!





Hey everyone!

This is my time lapse cake video!! I'm making fondant sushi cake!

I remember the first time I made a fondant sushi cake was 3 years ago for my mom's birthday. I was looking online for any fondant sushi cake tutorials or cake videos and I couldn't find any, so over time I just developed my own way of making it.  This is probably my 7th or 8th fondant sushi cake so I thought I'd record it for anyone else wondering how it's made. 

I hope it helps! or feel free to email me at joweelo@gmail.com if you need any help, I know how it feels googling for how to cake tutorials! It can be a pain :)

Oh, and today's my birthday :) Happy Birthday to MEEEE!

More Fondant Cakes!



Hey everyone! I have a lot of cake pictures to share with you! Here are cake pictures from September to November, and February.  I've been procrasinating with uploading my cake pictures, I blame it on my slow desktop, but it's all done now :) Hope you guys like my creations!



 A basketball themed cake, the person had asked for the cake to be the jersey, but I've seen a few online before, and was never a fan of that.  The jersey looks thick and unreal.  I decided to add a chalk board instead and have the jersey draped over it.


  

A car and airplane cake for a little boy's first birthday.


Cat in the Hat cake! I love Cat in the Hat by Dr. Suess :) The lady wanted a sculpted cake of some sort,
so I sculpted the Cat in the Hat hat and fish bowl and I had an extra slab of rectangular cake so I added the text book at the bottom.  My cakes always turn out way bigger than I originally plan.

 

Here's a full view of the Cat in the Hat cake! 



This is a Chuggington Wilson cake.  It's a train from a kids' tv show.  This cake turned out way bigger than I had planned again lol, this was almost 50 lbs.



A Despicable Me cake! I was really nervous making this, I never had to mould so many characters before.  It helps when you rewatch the movie before making the characters.  The birthday girl wanted the three girls, Vector, Gru, the fluffy unicorn and a couple of minions.  


A close up of the girls from Despicable Me movie.


Vector from Despicable Me, he was a challenge to mould, had to stare at his pic for longer than usual haha.


Despicable Me cupcakes!


Lingerie and Gift Box cake ;)


Lion King Cake with Simba! I had so much fun making this cake! The design was inspired by a cake made by Debbie Does Cakes. 


Here's a side view of the Lion King Cake :)


A close up of the Lion King characters and the Lion King silhouette.


I made this for my work's Christmas Party, I no longer work there but was happy to go and see everyone.  They make the best pastries! www.michelsbakerycafe.com.  That's their famous chocolate almond croissant and coffee!


This is a TreehouseTV cake with three of its popular shows, Mike the Knight, Toopy and Binoo and Cat in the Hat. Jaye is my friend Jeffrey's son, Jeffrey and I were in Gr. 1/2 split class together, it's crazy how we're both parents now :)


A close up of Mike the Knight figurine made out of gumpaste.


Here are some Chinese Moon Cake Festival cupcakes, or Mid-Autumn Festival cupcakes. Whichever you like to call it :)


A close up of the 'Jung' cupcake.  It's a popular food tradition during the Moon Cake Festival.


A close up of the Moon Cake cupcake!


A motorcycle cake.  If you're wondering, this was ordered by Sammy's sister.  Sammy was invovled in a motorcycle accident but luckily walked away with no injuries, however he did damage the bike.  His sister said she's gonna get him a motorcycle cake for his birthday and asked me if I can remake him under his bike lol.


Close up of motorcycle cake.


It's a Paul Frank Wedding Cake!!! I love Paul Frank!

Piano Keyboard cake!

Okay, that's all for now.  Joey :)
