Here Comes the Bride

Today at work we celebrated with two of our colleagues as they countdown to their wedding day! Instead of a cake, we had a cupcake bar!

So simple, yet so fun!

Pizza Pizza!

Cade's pizzeria 8th birthday party could have nothing other than a pizza cake!

Pretty in Pink

It's a Boy!

I had the privilege of making a cake today in celebration of a new baby boy!

Minecraft

Minecraft is all the rave with every kid these days!  It is no different for one of Cade's friends who requested a Minecraft cake for his birthday.

For those of you like me who know very little about this pixely looking game, this is a Creeper.

Independence Day

Independence Day is one of our family's favorite holidays.  I made these patriotic treats to help us celebrate!

Artist

The pressure is on when you are making a cake for an artist! I hope this meets the standard!

New Products, New Ideas

Minecraft is the new rave right now so it was no surprise that Cade wanted a Minecraft cake.  The idea was simple enough, but basically creating a mosaic with tiny squares sure is time consuming!  But of course it is all worth it to make my little guy's 7th birthday special!

I love when I get to experiment with new products!  While it is exciting, at the same time it can make me a little uneasy since the need for the new products to work as I have planned is crucial to the success of the cake.  With this cake I used 2 new products.  I used tinted piping gel to create the "water" and I used gum-tex in some fondant to make it harden.

Happy birthday, son!

Cameron's birthday has rolled around yet again.  He's turning 9 years old!  So hard for me to believe!  His passion continues to involve WWE wrestling so nothing less than a great cake for him!  I had a great time creating this wrestling ring for him.  Love you, buddy!

I made this cake for a cutie who is turning 8 years old.   I made a cake for her 5th birthday which is hard to believe was three years ago already!  Happy birthday, Lola girl!

Thanks

It is so sweet to know your costumers love your cakes!

Neon is Back

I love seeing the neon colors of my childhood coming back.  Too funny!  This cake was inspired by those 80s colors, but with a modern twist with the zebra stripes. 

Chocolate Lover

This 9 year old must LOVE chocolate!  Happy birthday, Makenna!

My cousin's daughter, Kelsie, celebrated her 18th birthday with this cake!

Dora the Explorer is my nightmare.  I made several attempts to add her to this cake, but either my creative juices weren't flowing or the details of her eyes and body truly are difficult to recreate with fondant.  Whichever it is, I just couldn't pull it off with the quality I would have been happy with.  Instead I created a cute cake for a cute birthday girl.

60th Birthday

This cake was the first time I experiemented with marzipan.  I made the numbers with this almond paste and was hoping to stand the "60" up on the the cake.  The marzipan dried as planned and would have been capable of standing, but my support systen was not sufficient.  So I will have to continue to experiment.

This cake was fun to make.  A little different design than my normal tiered cakes with the square on the bottom.  It is also hard to tell in the picture, but it is a mini-tiered cake ready to feed about 16 people.
