This weekend I had the pleasure of tasting the cake of a fabulous baker in Calgary. Next to my love for Etsy comes my love for Kijiji. One day while searching in the "Wedding" section I came across an ad by Something Sweet by Nicole. Nicole was advertising for wedding cakes and I decided to see if she would do up a Mexican themed birthday cake for an event we had this weekend. After sending her one picture and handing over creative control to her she came up with the cake pictured above. I fell in love with the little Mexican she had created for the cake and so did all the guests at the party! But the true test was yet to come - does it taste as good as it looks? YES YES YES!! We chose a vanilla cake with vanilla bean icing filling and it was incredible! It was buttery and delicious!

Now Nicole tells me she makes a mean chocolate cake, and I can not wait to try it!

Please visit Nicole's website at www.ssbn.ca or contact her at nicole@ssbn.ca or 403.870.7726. If a simple birthday cake turned out this amazing, I can only imagine what her wedding cakes look and taste like.

I think I have some left over cake downstairs that I must go devour!
