Joe & Linda First Anniversary Cake


This is very similar to Joe and Linda's wedding cake. Rather than save a cake top, in the freezer, for a WHOLE year, why not have a replica made, that will taste oh so much better?


Buttercream icing basketweave and royal icing flowers in pretty shades of yellow, peach, and leaf green.


Flowers include daffodils, apple blossoms, daisies, rose buds, wild roses, and little simple five-petal blossoms... an 8" round cake.


This cake would provide 20 party size servings or 24 wedding size servings.

Megan & Chris--Strawberries in Blue

Three tiers of white cake with different fillings in the tiers (strawberry in the top and bottom, chocolate Bavarian Cream in the middle), covered in buttercream and white chocolate marshmallow fondant.

Megan and Chris chose Navy blue, light blue, white and silver to adorn their cake as well as tasty in-season strawberries and quaint strawberry plant blossoms and leaves made from sugar paste.


The top has a towering tree of strawberries, graced with strawberry leaves and strawberry blossoms made from sugar paste.


The middle tier was separated from the top with 9" crystal-look pillars and had an arrangement of strawberries, sugar paste leaves and blossoms, and a cute little motorcycle (which the bride really wants) tucked in amongst them.


On the fondant, we put a fondant ribbon border, and painted on designs with luster dusts in Moonstone silver, Sapphire Blue, and Silver.


The bride, groom, parents, and other family members were thrilled with the cake both in appearance and taste.

Anniversary Cake--McKayla

McKayla didn't have a chance to get her anniversary cake on her first anniversary, so she opted to get one for her second anniversary.



While this cake top is not "exactly" like their wedding cake, it is actually better, there are roses on the top and it is done in buttercream. The roses and leaves are in buttercream. The cake is iced in buttercream as well.

The original cake had swirl, drop flowers in dark green with black centers and were placed to resemble ivy. The original cake also had red, buttercream roses.

Hayley and Cal wanted a wedding cake to tie into their western luau reception.



With a square base cake and two additional paisley tiers; the flowers include royal icing, navy blue apple blossoms and gold, sugar paste daisies, with white centers. Also there are darling royal icing ladybugs.



The bottom square tier has a brown, fondant ribbon around the bottom. The middle paisley tier has a navy, fondant ribbon around the tier. The top paisley tier has a tan, fondant rope border made into a lasso, and trailing down the cake and coiling on the square tier.

The cakes are red velvet cake, with cream cheese icing, and are covered in marshmallow fondant.





Hayley is represented by the navy blue, polka dotted flip-flops and Cal by the rustic cowboy boots. Both are edible--the flip-flops from molded white chocolate, the boots from molded sugar paste. There is even a ladybug hiding in one of the boots.













Table decorations include daisies and tulle in matching colors.










They also had a sheet cake, portioned into servings, with an apple blossom on each serving. Some of the servings had a ladybug on them as well. The leaves are buttercream, as is the brown shell border.

Pirate Princess Cake for Sweet Sixteen


Cake for sweet sixteen party where the theme was Pirate Princess. Black, white and pink reigned supreme. Cake is whimsical topsy-turvy cake.
Top tier is marbled chocolate and white cake with chocolate buttercream filling and vanilla butter cream under fondant. Middle tier is white cake with vanilla buttercream filling and icing. Bottom tier is chocolate cake with chocolate butter cream filling and icing.

All three tiers are covered in vanilla marshmallow fondant with fondant decor including hand cut skulls and crossbones, flowers, stripes, dots, rope, etc. Borders are fondant as well. Bows on skulls are royal icing as is the anchor. Flowers are wafer paper and fondant/gumpaste. There are some accents with luster dust.



There were also twenty-four marbled cupcakes with buttercream icing and royal icing anchors and bows.

Also provided were giant lollipops decorated to match the theme with party guests names as well. Decorations are in royal icing.




Additional lollipops (orange one for her brother--that's why it's less girly).

Cake would provide servings as follows:
top tier--16 servings
middle tier--20-24 servings
bottom tier--36 servings
cupcakes--24 servings

Cakes are approximately six inches tall but their diameters vary as they are whimsical so they are wider at top of tier than at the bottom of the tier. So the number of servings may vary.
