November News

Hello Friends!


First of all, thank you very much for checking out our blog and our cakes! I have to apologize for being so behind on posting pictures of our recent creations. October was an incredibly busy month for us. Between a wedding in Hawaii and a reception the following weekend, we had little time to log on and update everyone. 


We have been making a cake about every week and recently we have had two orders a week. We love the business and making everyones celebration special. 


I really hope to update our blog as soon as I can find some time and go through our recent pictures. 


Thank you again so much for checking us out!

September Cakes

September brought us some really fun cakes! We started off the month making a fun poker Birthday cake! An Avatar cake followed. It was a little challenging to make the cake look similar to the DVD cover, but with fondant and buttercream we made it work. We created an amazing dirt bike cake! We used rice crispies wrapped in fondant as the hay bales and chocolate graham crackers for the dirt. You can never go wrong with a Cowboys cake! Who wants a carrot carrot cake? This was a fun cake to make as well! It was a delicious carrot cake with cream cheese filling, formed into the shape of a carrot. And last, but not least we made a cute baby shower cake. The theme was Precious Planet and we made marble cakes and white cupcakes. The cake was decorated with the Precious Planet logo and some characters and the cupcakes were topped with one of the characters as well. This was an adorable cake.

August cakes

Here are the August cakes that we have made so far. We have a few more to make before the end of the month. The first cake is a Candyland baby shower cake. The second cake is a Fender guitar cake. Third, we have a topsy turvy birthday cake. We made a cake for Republic Services. Next, we made a Gibson guitar for a friend at work. It was her daughter's birthday and surprised her with the cake. The last two cakes, we just made this weekend. The first one was for Lily's first birthday. We did a small pink zebra smash cake and cupcakes matching the theme. The second cake was for Tyler's first birthday. We made him a small rubber ducky smash cake and little cupcakes to match as well. The cupcakes still had to have little rubber duckies to put on top. We are hoping to add finished pictures later.

Graduations




Weddings

This cake was for a wedding out at the Raven Golf Course in Verrado. Once we arrived, we placed a beautiful cake topper on it. Once we have the final result, I will post it :)
Our drum set cake...Each piece was hand made and assembled. We also made the drumstick and a paint brush to symbolize the husband and wife.

Mother's Day


Birthday

This is the latest cake that we have made. As you can see, it is a topsy turvy cake. We were very happy with the way it turned out! The cake is a chocolate cake with a butter cream filling and fondant covered. We made ribbon roses out of the fondant as well. The zebra print was only the second time we made it and pleased with the way it turned out.
A tall single cake with hand made candles to top it off. :)

This was our first attempt at a topsy turvy cake. It was really fun to make and we learned a lot from making it. Once the cake was delivered, the feathers were added to the top as a final touch.
