Lions Gate Bridge, Vancouver Panoramic

After a long hike around the Stanley Park Seawall, we decided to take a high resolution panorama looking north in Vancouver by the Lions Gate Bridge from Prospect Point. The photo is a joint effort by Steve and myself. The original contains 15 photos at 21 megapixels each stitched together to create the final composition.

Climb up the Grouse Grind, Vancouver

Yesterday, Steve and I decided to challenge ourselves to the Grouse Grind climb in North Vancouver. Having never done this climb, we were well aware of what we were getting ourselves into. The 2800 foot vertical climb was more challenging than we had anticipated, especially since we decided to both carry heavy backpacks up the trail full of camera gear!

Once at the top, the struggles were well worth the effort as the views were breath-taking and the sense of accomplishment was high. Tired and sweaty, we vowed to replace every calorie that we just burnt with an amazing plate of nachos and beer!

Vancouver Condo: Before and After

Thank you for your patience over the past month! Steve and I have been busy relocating to the beautiful western province of British Columbia and have settled into our condo in downtown Vancouver.

Below, I’ve posted a before and after shot of our living room and kitchen area. As you can tell, a bit of pre-planning and organization really brought our place together in the end. 

Stay tuned to many new posts of our adventures in this beautiful new city.

Making a Cake with Homemade Fondant Icing

Love moulding Playdoh as a kid? I  have never decorated a cake using fondant before and was not too sure what to expect. After taking an interest in some of the cakes at some local decorating schools here in Toronto, I decided to read about the art of making your own homemade fondant.

I designed and built this cake as a celebration desert for my fiancee and my eight year anniversary of dating. I designed the cake with an outline of British Columbia on the top and a wrap around Vancouver city-scape on the side.
