A New Home for Truly Custom Cakery,LLC

It's been a very busy time here at Truly Custom Cakery, LLC. So much so that we neglected to keep you up to date on the many exciting changes that are taking place.

In April, we announced that Truly Custom Cakery, LLC and Cakes by Suzy had decided to merge! This was a huge and very exciting step. A little scary for both Suzy and I, but we also both know, that once we transition and overcome the adjustments, we'll make a GREAT team! I'm so very excited to work with such a talented and capable decorator.

For our first collaboration, Suzy and I entered the 7th Annual "Let Them Eat Cake" competition at the Lowes, Philadelphia Hotel. We walked away with 3 of the 5 possible awards and were so happy to share with everyone what amazing possibilities are in store with this merger! We make a GREAT team! Just imagine what we'll be able to accomplish when we work together on a daily basis!

We won Most Artistic, Best Use of Theme, and People's Choice! 

The next change is much more involved and a lot more stressful. With the merger, we needed a common place to work and grow our business. That was NOT in our home kitchens. This is the BIG step. Going from two separate home based cake shops into one, retail, cake boutique. It was a little more challenging than we imagined it would be, but thankfully, we overcame many obstacles and we are in the home stretch!

We hope you enjoy these pictures of our progress so far and that you will make plans to come visit us in our new cake boutique soon. We are so thankful for our wonderful friends, customers, and fans for all of your encouragement, business, and support! Without you, we'd have never made it this far!

Before... We took this photo the day we signed the lease

During... It really does get WORSE before it gets better! It was a MESS!

These photos were taken on the day we passed our final inspections with the Township. We aren't "done" yet, but we are almost there! It's the home stretch and we'll be moving in, decorating, and working out of our new kitchen in the next couple of weeks! 

Stay tuned for some exciting Grand Opening Promotions from Truly Custom Cakery, LLC! We'll be announcing these in the very near future!

Hibiscus Coookie Favors

It's not often that I get a request for decorated cookies but on occasion, it does happen. When it does, I look forward to the change of pace and the ability to NOT have to stack and transport a cake. (If you've done it, you know how stressful it can be.)

Aside from the slew of bottles of different colored icing, in different consistencies, with different tips, AND finding royal icing in the most bizarre places for a week, it's a very enjoyable creative outlet.


These cookies were created for a Sweet Sixteen as the party favors for my client's daughter. She was celebrating with a Tropical Luau Themed Event. With that in mind, they asked for hibiscus cookies.

Since I don't have a Hibiscus Cutter, I took a star cutter and my pliers and made my own. Metal cookie cutters are a real blessing for that reason. They are inexpensive and easy to tweak.

My client called and e-mailed me to let me know how happy she and her daughter were with their cookies and sent a few photos of the Birthday Girl. I love happy endings...

A Bright, Funky, and Fun Cake. But is it Modern or Retro??

I'm not really sure how to classify this cake. I wanted to do something that was different, bright, fun, and modern. But when I look at it... I see the 70's... Kind of feel like there should be peace signs all over it. But then again... maybe it's more of a modern design... Either way... It's most definitely "out of the ordinary" for me. It was a fun cake to watch evolve. And quite honestly, I was terrified when I first started that it was going to be an utter failure. But I really like how it turned out. And apparently a lot of others liked it as well.

At the show Thursday night, it got an awful lot of attention for such a little cake! Go figure!


I started with a black background and created some strips of fondant to go up the cake in sets of 3. Pink, Green, and White were the base strip colors. From there, I used various cutters to remove sections of the fondant and replace with coordinating colors.

So what do you think? Is it modern or retro?

A Bright Fun Cake for a Special Birthday Boy!

The details on this care are fondant and royal icing. The characters were provided by the client.

This is a Red Velvet Cake with creamy, light, and fluffy chocolate chip filling! My kids each ate 2 pieces of the extra cake round I had. And I ate a slice as well!!! Gotta watch that snacking... That or I'll be watching my boo-tay! *wink*

Happy 1st Birthday Lily Ladybug!

When you order a custom cake, it's just that, CUSTOM! There are very few rules. Often questions are asked regarding what I "can" and "can't" do... If it isn't copyrighted and your budget allows for it, we "can" generally do it.

This was one of those cakes... Yes, ladybugs are generally red or brown. BUT it's a custom cake... make it any color you want! Want some bling??? No problem! And you know, I have to say, it's WAY cuter than it would have been if we followed all the rules.


Have fun with your cakes. They should be reflective of you and your style. And if you can dream it up... we can probably make it edible!

Bows & Booties

Precious, Feminine, Delicate, Pink, Frilly, Girlie, Dainty, Adorable & Sweet, that's what little girls are!!! And that's what a baby girl shower cake should be!

So here's a baby shower cake that is all those things. The little flowers were made using a custom mold (yea... I'm addicted to mold making now!) The bows are gum paste as are the baby booties. Everything is sweet and edible!

Congratulations to Billy & Becky on your Precious Gift from God.

A Choo Choo for Riley...

I was completely baffled when the client asked for a train theme cake in blue. I'm not sure why... Maybe because it's all Thomas these days... I just kept thinking in circles and not getting anywhere. UNTIL I went online in search of inspiration. By the time I was done I had my plan and knew exactly what I wanted to do. Thankfully my Blue Thomas the Train Mental Block had been vanquished!





I prepped most of the cake ahead. And was almost finished with assembly when my husband walked by. He said... Oh... wouldn't it be cool if you had a skywriter airplane write the little boys name in the clouds? ABSOLUTELY!!! YES it would be very cool... but I'm almost done... Thanks hun! Now I have more work to do!



This is normal... Between my husband, my kids, the internet, television, and magazines, I find myself inundated with amazing ideas and adding to a cake when really... it wasn't necessary. But it is soooo cute! So, Riley got a skywriter. Such a clever husband I have! In all honesty, it's my favorite part of the train cake... Oh well! It's always the details that make a cake pop.

Happy Birthday Little Man!

Cake Stats: Bottom tier is vanilla with chocolate chip filling. Middle tier is chocolate with peanut butter cup filling, and top tier is red velvet (no filling). Iced in buttercream and covered in fondant.

The train cars are made of a mix of fondant and gum paste. The 2 on the top of the cake is gum paste. The clouds are buttercream.

A super busy week in cake! From Graduations to Dragons...

I finally finished this weeks cakes! The first cake I'm showing you was done for a friend's son. She is a pastry chef and makes YUMMY treats but she doesn't do the kind of sculpting and detail work I do. So... she decided to order her son's cake so she could try one of my creations first hand. This is a chocolate cake with peanut butter cup filling. You can check out Stefanie's desserts at Decadent Desserts by Stefanie. I recommend the Rocher!! YUMMY!




The second cake was done for a graduation. This client requested stacked books with a graduation cap and the graduate wearing his future college's t-shirt. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. Although... this is one HEAVY cake!!! White Almond Sour Cream cake with raspberry filling and yellow cake with chocolate ganache.



This final cake was done for a client who originally called Charm City Cakes for a quote. And to my surprise, Charm City Cakes told her to call ME!!! I was so excited to get a referral from CCC that I sent them a big old box of Holiday Crunch! Anyway... the client asked for a blue dragon with black accents and a crystal ball. The crystal ball is made of sugar and resulted in 3 blisters on the palms of my hands! OUCH! This cake is 100% edible! Vanilla cake with buttercream filling. I'm very pleased with the results of this guy. I was a little nervous starting out as I was afraid it would just look like a big lizard... that is until I realized that a dragon IS a big lizard! Enjoy!

An elegant Birthday Cake...

A client wanted a cake for her mom's Birthday. Nothing too special just wanted it from Truly Custom Cakery so I had to squeeze in her order. I just love happy repeat customers! This is a YUMMY combination! Banana Cake with Chocolate buttercream filling and icing. I did a little tweaking to my buttercream recipe and it turned out amazing!!! My son keeps asking for spoonfuls of the stuff!



Anyway, she requested chocolate icing and lavender accents. This is what I came up with. I'm really pleased with how pretty and elegant it turned out.

Happy Birthday Memom!

A contemporary Sweet 16...

The Topsy Turvey Cake, also known as a Mad Hatter or Whimsical cake might be a lot of work but the end result really is very cool. These cakes are designed to look like they are about to topple over but in reality the topsy effect is an optical illusion. These are level cakes stacked on top of each other. With the right support system, they are very stable cakes.



Made for a client in Huntingdon Valley, this one was requested in lime green, black, purple, and white with zebra stripes, dots, and stars bursting from the cake. It's definitely fun and has a contemporary spin.

A Romantic Sneak Peak...

Here's a sneak peak into this weekend's projects. I just love how these turned out. they have a very feminine, romantic, and beautiful feel to them. The flavors are strawberry and vanilla. These will go in a cupcake tree with a coordinating 6" top cake.
