Tied up in a bow


This tiny two tier (6", 5") is vanilla with raspberry filling covered in fondant, and tied surrounded in polka-dots and fondant bows!

Oh BABY!


Boy or Girl? Not sure.....This three tier baby shower cake traveled across 3 states to be delivered! Congrats to Kellie and Tom!

Dog-gone It!


Since the Happy Birthday Jesus cake, I have taken some interest in gum-paste figurines. Thanks to you-tube I have come up with this fondant puppy dog....I think I will make my daughter a puppy-dog cake for her upcoming birthday. The image quality is low due to my unsteady hand while taking the pic with my phone :)

Happy 2nd Birthday Elise! This design I need to give credit to the amazing "pinkcakebox.com" Elise's mom picked this design from their website.

Beep Beep!


Happy 3rd Birthday Jack! This design is compliments of Jessica Snow.....my cake guru and mentor!

Papa Had a Cow!


Well, Papa had a cow because this cake was so great! This chocolate cake was filled with a cookies and cream filling, covered in chocolate ganache, and trimmed with plump fresh raspberries! Happy Birthday Papa!

Happy Birthday/Halloween





This spider cake is the large birthday cake for three sisters' birthday party. Each little girl also gets her own mini cake decorated in theme. The spider on top of the large cake is a small cake itself with black licorice legs! The cake was vanilla but was orange and white striped inside!

Old MacDonald rode a John Deere


This is a second birthday cake for a little boy who dearly treasured his toy tractors.....in fact I stole on to put in top.

Congrats Andy and Julia!


This is a baby shower cake for Julia who is awaiting Baby Elise's arrival. This is a simple vanilla buttercream two tier decorated with robbon and topped with a floral arrangement.

We're Waiting, Baby Claire....


This is a baby shower cake is enormous. The 14" bottom tier is striped vanilla and strawberry cake with a buttercream coat. The top tier is chocolate cake topped with a fondant bouquet. Fondant flowers to match the napkins surround each cake edge and painted wood letters. I also added mini cupcakes each topped with a fun icing color and fondant flower. Congrats Amy and Steve!

Look out, here comes Spider-Man


Happy Birthday Jack! The bottom tier of this cake is chocolate with buttercream filling decorated with fondant super-stars and spider rings for the birthday boy to wear. A plastic spiderman is scaling the side of the top vanilla and chocolate cake. The buttercream spiderweb covers the fondant cakes and the cake board!

Bugs for Dessert! Yum!


This approximately 8" round lady bug should be pretty tasty! Her chocolate cake body with fudge and raspberry filling sits upon a fondant leaf. Happy 1st Birthday Evie!

Send those kids on a mission trip!


This two tier (6" and 4") cake is made for a charity auction to send teen youths on a mission trip. The chocolate raspberry torte is frosted with a fudge icing and decorated with fondant flowers, vines, and border. Thank you to the high bidder ($85) for eating chocolate for a good cause!

Elmo Celebrates!


Happy Birthday Laura! This vanilla 10" by 8" cake is vanilla with buttercream frosting. A fondant Elmo is siting in front of some shooting birthday stars. The side of the cake is decorated with fondant polka-dots and a gum-paste street sign.

Monster of a Birthday



Happy Birthday Bobby! The fondant monsters on this cake were modeled after the napkins, Bobby's monster birthday t-shirt he wore, and other monster decorations that so cutely decorated the room! Bobby's mom made additional cupcakes that she decorated with a print of a monster, and the amazing monster treat bags also had that special touch! Birthday stars shoot out the top of the cake next to the main monster holding a printed birthday sign. FABULOUS PARTY KAREN....As always!

Hurry to Finish


Happy Birthday Kate! Kate just finished one of the many half-marathons that she runs. This was a carrot cake with a fondant Kate on top running on the fondant "road" to finish her race. The grass is green buttercream.

Happy 1st Claire!


This is the first birthday cake for Claire. Claire's mom has thoughtfully saved the painted wooden letter from her baby shower cake, so we used them on her 1st birthday cake as well!

Happy Birthday Jesus!


This three tier (10", 9", 6") cake was a donation to my son's preschool for their Christmas program. The bottom tier is chocolate cake with fudge and raspberry filling covered in fudge icing and then chocolate fondant (and not a single calorie! ;-) The middle layer is a vanilla cake which has a carved cave for that cozy manger scene. Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus in his manger are made of gum-paste. The top small cake is a chocolate and vanilla layered cake surrounded by buttercream clouds and topped with a gum-paste angel and star. Merry Christmas!

Super Heros to the Rescue!


This is a 3 tier birthday cake (10", 8", 6"). The bottom red spiderman layer is garnished with spider rings for the kids at the party. This layer is chocolate with chocolate fudge and raspberry filling. The red fondant is also a raspberry flavor. Batman's yellow layer is vanilla with buttercream and raspberry filling surrounded in fondant building cut-outs. Superman has the "exploding" top layer with buttercream clouds, fondant number "6" and fondant stars bursting out!

Jonathan Cour's Cake!


This cake was made for the musician Jonathan Cour (lead of the group Carillon). As sinful as it sounds, Jon does not like chocolate (gasp!). So this is a vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream filling. The plastic guitar on top is supported by musical notes!

Hannah Montana


This was a cake for a 10 year old fan of Hannah Montana. The bottom is a red velvet 10" cake in zebra print. The top cake is a chocolate raspberry torte decorated with fondant notes, guitar ornaments and black ribbon as the music scale. The cake is topped with fondant shooting starts and a bit of feathery bling!

Cinderella Cake


6" chocolate and vanilla torte covered in fondant and decorated for Cinderella!
