Urban Yoga

Hi everyone,
Hope you guys are having an amazing weekend. I was off this week and it was so worth it. I needed the time to just unwind and get things done around the house.
I actually wasn't going to take any cake orders this week, however I got an email from Kelly who has been studying Ashtanga yoga since 1999 and finally opened her own yoga studio in Oakville, Ontario. She wanted a cake and cupcakes  to reflect some of the Indian designs associated with yoga. She indicated the colours and wanted to incorporate some henna designs. We decided to go with a peacock cake and a few matching cupcakes. She also wanted her logos so I made a dozen of those.  The rest was basically up to me!!! I especially love the green lotus flower, well its my interpretation of the lotus flower :)

Good Luck Kelly on the opening of your Yoga Studio.

My Photo
I have many passions in life, but what I’m passionate about is CAKES! I’m a self taught baker and I’m vegetarian! Cake decorating brings me into my own little world; it’s when my imagination and artistic abilities come to life.

Besides my obvious passion for all things sweet and sticky!!! I love to create (anything and everything), read, anything that is cute, clever and handmade. I also love a good idea!!!
