Some of Northern Dawn Cottage Bakery’s Cake Portfolio
- We would like to show you some of our cakes that we have done in the past. There are many others we don’t have photos of yet. However, here are a sprinkling of what we have done. The cakes in this portfolio are just a small fraction of cakes we have done.
- We have been decorating cakes in a commercial bakery for around twelve years
- Enjoy very much creativity of cake decorating
It will be a pleasure to share our cake designs with you, and make cakes special to your needs.
Table Cakes
Name: Scrumptious Fudge This chocolate Cake is iced with scrumptious fudge icing, then drizzled with white swirls and maraschino cherries placed on top. | Name: Fudge Drizzled German Chocolate Cake This is one example of a German Chocolate cake. Soon we will be showing some other ideas. |
Name: Roses We’ve done many looks and feel of rose cakes, but this is just one that we did for a customer. | Name: German Chocolate with Centered Cherries Again, we have done various varieties and looks of German Chocolate cakes. We will soon post more ideas. |
Artistic Cakes
Name: Elephant This little elephant was first drawn on the cake, then the icing piped on. It was a cake order for a customer. | Name: Johnson Tire This was the anniversary of this tire shop. The customer brought in their logo. I piped on the logo and iced the cake with the logo |
We are awaiting photos of the pop can cake and some others | |
Kit Cakes
Kit: Frozen One of my coworkers at the commercial bakery asked for this Frozen kit. We had to put our own ideas into it, as this was just a toy he and his wife had purchased. | Kit: Finding Nemo ( Dory Squirters) Often in a commercial setting we would decorate using licensed cake kits. This cake was for one of our customers |
Kit: Not a licensed cake My Name: Games in Winter Wonder Land We had some bobble heads and nick knacks for winter. I just put them together into this scene. for fun. | |

Layer two, before we really started sculpting much. Note the comparison of the white of front layer, to the shaded color on the layer behind | See the shaded effect on this layer. I need to photoshop the photo so you can see it better. Also note the sculpting. | |
Each layer starts with a darker shade or coral and shades up to a lighter one. That isn’t a technique I’d done. So thanks to friend Tia, we found a video on how to do it. You basically add the darker shade, the a light shade, overlapping and a lighter shade yet. Then you take your straight edge and smudge the colors together, which blends them.Next technique I had to do that I’d not done before is the ridge effect. You can use a spoon to drag the edges. Or better yet, use a small spatula to drag the ridges. |
