Tastings from Around the World

Tastings from Around the World

I made this cake for a fundraiser at my son’s school.  They hosted a Wine and Beer Tasting event that included items up for raffle…sure hope the winner of this cake shares! This year’s theme was Wines and Beers from around the world.  The suitcase, instead of being covered with travel labels, is covered in edible wine labels from around the world.  The crackers and grapes were made from gum paste.  Stay tuned…I’ll be announcing a few new flavors in the coming weeks!

Rings Around the Razorback

Arkansas Razorbacks Cake

Arkansas Razorbacks Cake

I am thrilled with this cake!  I love it when a cake is a challenge, and I love the way this one came out!  I wish I could have been a fly on the wall at the unveiling of this cake!  It was a surprise for a big Razorbacks fan that just earned his military stripes.  His wife was throwing him a big surprise party.  Congratulations, Jonathan!  Gerrr!

Sweet 16 Birthday Cake

Sweet 16 Birthday Cake

There have only been a few instances where people have asked me to recreate a cake that I have previously done before.  Most times, I will change elements of the design to make it a little new and fresh.  I think this is the first time I’ve kept with the original design so closely!  I love this cake design…it’s just so fun!  The mom wanted it tweaked a little to include the 16-year-old’s favorite colors: pink, orange and teal.  I love how they look like sherbet!  And I love the addition of the pearl luster too to make it shimmer!  Happy Sweet 16, Elly!

Announcement: New Cake Shapes


I was generously rewarded by Santa this year, so I thought I would announce the newest additions that will be joining the round and square cake pans!  Please give a warm welcome to the Hexagon and the Petal pan sets! ;)  They have been unpacked, washed and are patiently waiting to be filled with yummy cake batter!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I love the way this cake came out!  I just wish the picture could have!  The room was decorated just like the table…Green table clothes with the damask runners.  It very St. Patrick’s Day without being in-your-face St. Patrick’s Day!  The room was gorgeous…what’s not to love?  Green…good!  Damask…good!  I thoroughly enjoyed making this cake!

Giraffe-Themed Birthday Party

I created this package for a cute little man turning 1!  The cake, cookies and figures were embellished with hand-painting.  The smash cake was made to look like a giraffe.  I love the way the whole design came together!

Birthdays & Babies

The first 2 cakes were birthday cakes. I love it when cake requests come in for the same weekend that are fairly similar! I also love it when flavors match, but these two were very different! The gift box cake was Dark Chocolate Cake with Coconut Filling. The 30th birthday cake’s bottom layer was Banana Cake with Chocolate Buttercream Filling and the top layer was Vanilla White Cake with Orange Curd Filling. I like it when people are adventurous with their cake flavors too!

The cookies were for a baby shower. They were handpainted to match the invitations to the party.

Filling in the Blanks!

Yet another catch-up post!  For starters, there is an actual contact form now on my Contact page, so now you can use it!

Next, here are a few cakes that I haven’t blogged about yet!
