Baby Boy 1st Birthday Cake

I made this cake for a friend last February and just came across the pictures she sent me. Oops! I had forgotten to take pictures before I sent it off to the party! I made it to match the blue polk-a-dot party decorations and the customer made her own toppers inspired by some I had done on a different (but similar) cake.

Peanut M&M Cake

This birthday girl loves peanut M&Ms, so her daughter wanted to surprise her with a little M&M cake. It is chocolate cake filled with peanut butter frosting, frosted with vanilla buttercream. Fun to do and pretty simple. I carved the oval cake just slightly to slope the edges down. Happy Birthday Tammy! Enjoy.

Polk-A-Dot Baby (Boy) Shower Cake

This two-tier cake is for Baby Boy Cooper's shower. The party hostess used polk-a-dots and Mini Cooper cars as the theme. The bottom tier is french vanilla cake with raspberry filling, the top tier is dark chocolate cake with mocha filling. All is frosted with vanilla buttercream.

Back to School Cake

Another fun cake! This cake was ordered for a customer's coworker who was leaving her current job to become a kindergarten teacher. They had a little good-bye party for her today. It is a mocha cake with mocha filling, all frosted with vanilla buttercream. The cupcake apple on top was dark chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream and red sugar sprinkles, a piece of hazelnut milk chocolate as the stem, and a mint gumdrop as the leaf.

Fishing Themed Groom's Cake

This cake will be a surprise from a bride to her groom on their wedding day! He loves fishing and she wanted to do something to recognize that on their special day. It is a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting and some buttercream frosting. The bride chose the fishing couple topper and I purchased it from Amazon. Congratulations Jessica and thanks for your order!

Justin Bieber Cake

Lilly's turning 6 and has Bieber Fever!! The small cake and a dozen cupcakes are vanilla cake dyed purple, and then there are also 2 dozen dark chocolate cupcakes. All frosted with vanilla buttercream and everything sprinkled with sugar for some sparkle. Happy Birthday, Lilly! Hope you get your chance to party like a rock star!!

Fish Cake

Special request for a special birthday boy turning six - a fish cake! I used a molded pan in the shape of a fish and then made a few modifications after it was out of the oven. It is strawberry cake (because I wanted it to look like a salmon, and then be pink when cut into...) with vanilla buttercream. If I had a fish cake request again.... I would forgo the molded pan and just carve it myself. I think a side view would have looked better, rather than the 3-d top view. But it turned out pretty good and I think it will be a fun cake for a birthday celebration. Happy Birthday, Tate!!

Pearls and Lace Wedding Cake

This was an exciting cake to do because the inspiration cake from this website was so beautiful! The pearls are piped on with frosting, but the ribbon, lace, and flowers are real (not edible). The roses had a special significance to bride, so I was so excited to find the right size and color of lace with roses incorporated in the design.

It is a vanilla cake with raspberry filling, all frosted with (very pale green) vanilla buttercream. The bottom tier is a 10 inch round, with 3 layers of cake. The top tier is an 8 inch round, also with 3 layers of cake.

I delivered this cake and forgot my camera, so a big THANK YOU to Betsy at Studio B Photography for sharing her professional and beautiful pictures. Thank you, Marta, for the order - and congratulations!!

Buttercream Roses on Mini Chocolate Cupcakes

I had some practice roses left from last week's wedding/anniversary cake, and a few mini cupcakes left from something else. Just a cute little mini dessert. My kids loved them! :o)

What to do with extra cake?...

Facebook it and ask for a last minute cake request! This is 3 layers of cake, the bottom and top vanilla and middle lemon. All filled and frosted with chocolate buttercream. Decorated with dark chocolate buttercream. I forgot to take pictures - so thank you Victoria for taking a picture at the party. It looks a little glossy because it was so hot out and the frosting was getting a little soft!
