It's been a while since I have posted - this will be my first post of 2017. Hope your year is going great so far - it is going wonderfully for a friend of mine, Chef Mel. She went after her dreams, left the corporate world and started her own Food Truck in Toronto called Get Skewered. </div>

She held a soft launch last week and what a success!! I am so proud of her and surprised her with a little cake. If you are in Toronto and looking for healthy and clean eats like Polynesian pork, crab cakes with creole mustard sauce and Moroccan tahini Chicken... you will find her on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/GetSkeweredTO/" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/getskeweredto/" target="_blank">Instagram</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/getskeweredTO" target="_blank">Twitter</a>. How amazing does her truck look? </div>

It all started with this 1st birthday <a href="http://sweetthings-toronto.blogspot.ca/2012/05/1st-birthday-cake.html" target="_blank">Hot Pink</a> cake. Then 2nd birthday <a href="http://sweetthings-toronto.blogspot.ca/2013/04/bubble-guppies-cake.html" target="_blank">Bubble Guppies</a>, 3rd birthday <a href="http://sweetthings-toronto.blogspot.ca/2014/05/3rd-birthday-cake-my-little-pony-cake.html" target="_blank">My Little Pony</a> and 4th birthday Cinderella cake.<br />
<br />
This year was a colorful Willy Wonka themed cake. I had so much fun with this one - adding in some bottle caps, sweet tarts, laffy taffy and nerds to the design.<br />

In the last year, I have cut back significantly on the number of custom orders that I take to focus on my other life, as a Personal Trainer. I still have reserved spots for my regular cake clients/family, but mostly trying to balance out my time since I also took up Powerlifting.<br />

Back in May 2015, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/maximumbarbell/" target="_blank">Team Maximum Barbell</a> convinced me to sign up and train for a Powerlifting competition. Based on your age group and weight category, you attempt to lift as much weight as possible (with strict form) for one repetition in the Squat, Bench Press and Deadlift. You get 3 attempts at each and your highest weight in each lift count towards your total score. Sound fun? Yes, it really is!!!<br />
<br />
Since then, I've competed in 4 events including the 2015 Ontario Provincials winning a Gold Medal and 2016 Canadian Championships winning a Bronze Medal.<br />

I am very excited about the upcoming year - some more Powerlifting events for me and always exciting to see what cakes my clients will ask me to create. </div>

which provide custom cakes to families affected by critical illness.
Their goal is to create a custom cake for the ill child, or their
sibling,
that provides a temporary escape from worry and creates a positive
memory during a difficult time. Volunteer "Sugar Angels" are matched up
with the families across the country to deliver a "Smile" in the form
of a custom cake.<br />
<br />
It was a pleasure for me to be a sugar angel for Mya Rae, currently battling Acute
Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), who turned 6. Please send all your positive and healing energy to her to kick ALL's butt!<br />

First there was a bridal shower.... The bride and groom love chocolate chip cookies, so I encorporated that into the cake. </div>

I usually make back-up sugarpaste letters for my cakes, in case anything happens during transport. This time, they came in handy to add to the candy buffet that the bride put together.<br />

<b>Step 1: Make your crust and let it cool. </b>You can use any regular pie crust recipe, but you probably only need 1/4 of it. I used a 6" square pan and the following recipe:</div>
<ul>
<li>3/4 cup ground pumpkin seeds (or almonds)</li>
<li>1 tbsp arrowroot powder</li>
<li>2 tbsp molasses</li>
<li>1 tbsp avocado (or coconut) oil</li>
<li>1/4 tsp sea salt </li>
</ul>
Mix together and press in pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes (or until slightly browned). <br />

<b>Step 2: Follow the instructions in the Yonanas maker and make 3 flavors. </b>I only ended up using about 4 frozen bananas. I started with the lightest color - pineapple, then raspberry, then blueberry - so the color wouldn't bleed too much.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
With your cooled crust, spread your first flavor on and/ put in the freezer for a few minutes.</div>

I had fun keeping this cake simple and elegant with a touch of purple, a touch of the Raiders and also the couple's two cats. I didn't get a good close-up of the handmade sugarpaste characters - but I wanted it to look "Superman-like". <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

They were visiting from out of town to celebrate their Christening. I mentioned previously about having fun with <a href="http://sweetthings-toronto.blogspot.ca/2015/05/fondant-covered-cookies.html" target="_blank">fondant covered cookies</a> and this design was perfect!! <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The cake was alternating layers of zesty lemon and chocolate sour cream cake with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream with that added bonus of sugar cookies. I also displayed it on a lazy Susan so it was fun to <a href="https://instagram.com/p/3TpnQml82I" target="_blank">spin it around</a>.</div>
