Wedding Season is coming soon!!!

So that means that caterers, event planners, and bakers are working in full force to get ready for the Wedding Rush! We've got several shows coming up in February and throughout the spring so the dummy cakes are being prepared one by one.


This one is a mix of designs to show the brides some different techniques. From using Swarovski crystals, to sugar paste flowers, to lace, swags, and bows, there are lots of options to make any cake a reflection of you! The middle tier on this cake is actually done using a custom silicone mold I made from the lace on my wedding dress.



Happy Baking!!!

Damask Gift Box Birthday Cake

I am sooo excited that Tyler asked me to make a cake for you. Of course he said to keep it simple and this is what "simple" looks like to me! I am thrilled with all the new stuff I got to learn on your behalf and don't worry, you can have copies of all these pictures! BUT I want a photo of the two of us with your cake!

Happy Birthday my friend! I love you!

Wedding Cupcake Balls

This was a fun project and a first. Cake balls are made of strawberry cake with cream cheese icing dipped in dark and green chocolate. Gum Paste flowers, bows and royal icing accents.

Wrapped a ribbon around a terracotta pot and used styrofoam to hold them in place. What a cute and tasty little floral arrangement!



Here is the finished basket. I individually wrapped each cake ball and tied them with a ribbon. Then all the basket pieces were added, arranged, and shrink wrapped.

Sarah's Birthday Cake

This is my nieces Birthday Cake. I had a lot of fun making it although the humidity gave me a run for my money! I wanted a fun cake so instead of just plopping the puppies on the cake, I had them wreaking havoc by digging into it. This is the first cake I've covered in fondant that was iced with Italian Meringue Buttercream. It's much more challenging that covering a cake that has been iced in classic buttercream. Guess I'll have to make more of these so I can get more practice!

What a wonderful reception this cake got! I'm so pleased with how much Sarah loved her cake. If I make a custom cake for my niece's or nephew's, they don't get a gift. The cake IS the gift. But it is their choice (or their parents if they are too young). When I asked Sarah if it was worth it to get a cake instead of a gift, I got a very enthusiastic "yes!".
