These cool treats made the cover of Chatelaine Magazine this month, in a story on gourmet frozen desserts.
We can tell you, enthusiastically, that Cherry-Cheesecake Pops taste as refreshing as they look! Sasha (the prop stylist) “hit this one out of the park” when she showed up with her antique typewriter. Notice the markings on the pop sickle sticks?
The cake below, made to inspire a casual Dockside Drop-in, is this Peach-Almond Sponge Cake, featured in the same issue, all shot by the same team but for a different story. I used dry-ice on set to freeze the ice-cream desserts as hard a rock, so they defrosted more slowly….but it’s the real thing!
But I seriously loved the taste of this incredibly delicious vanilla cake from last Summer’s 2010 issue of Chatelaine.

My talented friend Emma Reddington helped me on-set the days we shot all these images…baking the cakes, making the icings, and even assembling the ice-cream bars. She posted her own beautiful version of this particularly yummy cake on her blog, the Marion House Book. Check Emma’s cake out here, and like so many of us, will visit her incredible blog often.
Stay cool and enjoy the Summer….
