Introducing one heckuva vibrant @mmscanada fault l

Introducing one heckuva vibrant @mmscanada fault line cake! 🎂 I am really happy with how this cake turned out for my twins’ 12th birthday. 🎉 My kids picked the flavours and left the design up to me. Then they dutifully stayed away from the kitchen while I was decorating so it would be a surprise. ☺️
•
You know when you have a vision in mind and then you manage to execute that vision? That was this cake. I knew I wanted to do another fault line cake (I made one for my daughter’s sweet 16 last summer) and that I wanted it to be bright. I also wanted to make something fun and festive to distract from the fact that a birthday during quarantine meant no party with friends. Mission accomplished! 🥳
•
They had a fabulous day and we will be eating cake for the next week. 🍰🤣

Sometimes you spend several days on a cake. Sometimes you try a new gluten-free box mix on a whim and put it together with a chocolate coconut cream frosting. And the result is the same: gratitude and a belly full of deliciousness. 😍

Happy 14th to my eldest son. ❤️ #glutenfreechocolate #glutenfreeboxmix #homemadecake #chocolatecoconutfrosting

Who needs cake (🙋🏼‍♀️) when you can build a tower of donuts? 🍩

Baked keto/paleo donuts have quickly become a favourite around here and it turns out they’re a hit with the teen boy crowd. 🍩👏🏻😋 #donuttower #birthdaydonuts #teenbirthday

Happy Valentine’s Day! ❤️ Going flourless and without refined sugar (well, except for the melted chocolate chips, that is). I hope it tastes as lovely as it looks!

What sweet treats will you be indulging in today?

What are you baking for the holidays this year?

Raise your hand if you’re still eating Thanksgiving leftovers. 🙋🏼‍♀️ Raise your hand if you’re not mad about it. 🙋🏼‍♀️🤣 There’s still a tiny bit of this carrot cake left and I’m wondering just how long we can stretch it out. Sooooo good. 🥕🍰 #thanksgivingdessert #thanksgivingleftovers #carrotcake #homemadecarrotcake #carrotcakewithcreamcheesefrosting

It’s a 💕pretty in pink cake 💕 for a ✨sweet 16✨ birthday (a day early).
🥳
This is my first attempt at a fault line cake and I’m so happy with how it turned out. Just like I envisioned. There is a boat load of icing in that thing, though!

This is a four-layer (1x8”, 2x6”, 1x6”) lemon cake 🍰 with lemon Swiss meringue buttercream filling and covered in strawberry Swiss meringue buttercream, per the birthday girl’s request.

The embellishments were left up to me. The macarons are courtesy of @amadeuspatisserie at @uppercanadamall @shopmarketco. The only thing left is the taste test. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Red, white, and 🙌🏻! Today we celebrated Canada’s 152nd birthday! 🇨🇦🎉😍 Of course, a get-together with friends, especially on a holiday, calls for holiday-inspired treats. So for today, I made donuts dressed up in Canadian colours and mini strawberry cheesecakes on homemade graham cracker cookies shaped like maple leafs. So yummy!! #canadaday #happycanadaday #ericablogscakes

Birthday cake? Or birthday donuts? How about both?

Birthday cake? Or birthday donuts? How about both? 🎂🍩🙌🏻

This four-layer vanilla and strawberry beauty was made for my twins’ 11th birthday last week. 😍

I consulted with them first, of course, and then brought my vision to life in a 22-hour baking-and-decorating marathon. The real test was whether their guests would enjoy it — kids are notorious for taking two bites and leaving the rest, or eating either only the cake or the icing. I’m happy to report it was a hit. 👍🏻
•
I made my own strawberry reduction for the cake and icing. The cake has a much more natural-pink hue since I didn’t add any food colouring. The buttercream picked up the colour of the berries much more. 🍓

I used the upside-down buttercream scraping and the Viva paper towel smoothing techniques. The drip was made of white chocolate chips, a little cream, and food colouring and was spooned on around the edges first then filled in on top and smoothed with an offset spatula. 🍰

The baked donuts were also homemade from favourite recipes. They add so much fun to this cake. I loved making it. 💖

(Succulent toppers provided by my friend). My proportions were a little off-base with this one but I still love it’s rustic simplicity. 💚
