House of the Rising Cake (still Surly)'s photostream

SetsGalleriesTagsPeopleArchivesFavoritesProfile

I'm a cake designer based in Toronto. I teach a class on sugar figure sculpting at Bonnie Gordon School of Cake Design and I'm also an illustrator/designer of childrens books. My photography is mostly of my cakes, my art, my pets and my friends...because those are my favourite things.

If you like my cakes and would like to speak with me about them you can contact me here or at orders@houseoftherisingcake.ca I only deliver to Toronto and the GTA.

*please note: due to a lot of people stealing and using other designer's photos on their websites, if you don't have a flickr account and have added my photos as favourites I will block you.

Ice Nine says:

"Surly likes maize and that must be a good thing, because maize grows in fields and I like fields, being a tractor.

Therefore logic points at the overriding fact that Surly Bratt must be good. Or maybe a good thing.

Heck, it's difficult being a tractor sometimes.

Anyway I better put more wood on the fire."

Just so that you ... understand.

"Surly is true blue ...masterful at caulking and general boat maintenance, and she's a charming dinner guest to boot -- just see that you keep her out of the Flagyl until the others have had their share."

"If you want to group those words together (Funny, nice, sweet, honnest, sensetive, lovely, true friend...etc.) You can use "Sally Bratt" instead.

She helped me in something I will never forget in my life, from here I knew that she cares. I will stop writing now, because if I didn't I will be writing untill next day about this wonderful lady.

All the best,
Rami."

"Surly.. Surly.. Surly.. what can one say to describe Surly? Well she is beautiful and sweet and nice.. Has a very lucky boyfriend there is zero doubt about that. Her art work is simply amazing and she has talents on many levels of her life.. (kisses panger) . I find myself missing her when she isn't here to pick on me and I like to see her wonderful thought out photos and her silly fridge shot type photos. I often view her photos for many reasons.. sometimes to giggle some times to get ideas and some times just to remember why I adore and respect her so much. If you ever take a stroll on her stream please leave her some comments about just how wonderful she is.. . I have a feeling she needs to hear it because she is one I don't think sees her true gifts."

"Surly is very creative and gifted. She is not only a talented photographer (you MUST check out her b&w self-portraits!) and a wonderfully artistic illustrator, but also a person very easy to connect and have tons of fun with. I am very happy to have her among my dearest flickr contacts. Surly rocks!"
