To the Farm

Barn Birthday Cake

Barn Birthday Cake

This cake was for a really cute little 2-year-old!  When his mommy asked him what he wanted on his cake he said he wanted tractors and cows!  So cute!  I love making the animals for these farm-themed cakes!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Lucas!  Hope you got everything you could ever wish for!

Here’s a collage of the details:

Emily, the cake was amazing. Lucas said “I want barn down”. since it looked so awesome he thought it was a toy to play with :) ! Once again you have outdone yourself. Your cakes look and taste absolutely magnificent!!! ~ Jennifer

Gift Box Wedding Cake

The “cake gods” were smiling on me today!  I made an almost-last-minute decision to deliver this cake in pieces and assemble on-site.  Boy am I glad I made that decision!  The roads to get to the venue were windy, hilly, pot-holey and SUPER bumpy!  I’m 100% positive that had I stacked it, it would either not have made it, or I would still be trying to drive it there…very, very slowly!  The beautiful bride is a cousin of a few of my cousins and she chose a GORGEOUS place to be married!  The venue was almost out in the woods and had lots of windows viewing the surrounding trees.  I wish I would have taken some pictures, but guest were starting to arrive as I finished.

Congratulations, Michelle and David!  May you have many, many happy years together!  It was a real pleasure working with you to create your special cake!

Simple Girly Birthday Cake

Simple Girly Birthday Cake

Another cake from this weekend…this was a very simple, small cake that I made for a birthday party.  It was made to look like the party ware.

Emily ~ I just wanted to email you and tell you how absolutely adorable and wonderful the cake was for my sister’s party.  Everyone could not stop talking about it.  I was so excited about it I almost did wait until present time to show it off.  It also tasted as good as it looked.   I just cannot say enough outstanding things about it.  It was perfect!  Thank you again for delivering it.  Your card is on my fridge and I have bragged to all of my friends at work how cute it was.  We will definitely be ordering in the future. ~ Jennifer

Homer Simpson Postage Stamp Groom’s Cake

Homer Simpson Groom's Cake

Homer Simpson Groom's Cake

This cake was for a rehearsal dinner last night.  The groom loves the Simpsons, so his mom requested the cake as a surprise.  I love the way it turned out!  I got to use my airbrush again, so that was fun!  And I created a stencil for the first time for Homer’s face.

Best wishes to the bride and groom…today is their wedding day!  Hopefully the rain will hold off!  Congratulations!

How-to will follow on how to clean up black food coloring from white fondant!

Just had to let you know right away that your cake was totally awesome.  Our son was excited about it – all  his friends, also.  Lots of pictures were taken—it was delicious and picture perfect.  We gave your web site address to lots of people.  Thanks again, you are very talented. ~Betty

Wine Box Cake {UPDATED}

Wine Box Cake

Wine Box Cake

This cake was made for a donation to a fundraising event for our school. The event was a wine tasting and it was to be a part of a raffle. This cake was a difficult one for me, not because the cake was difficult, but because I ended up having to bake it twice…at 2 AM. There was a mini mental breakdown at 4AM and after a few hours of sleep and the help of my sister, who watched the kids for a few hours, I was able to focus and knock it out. I would have taken pictures, but I REALLY would rather NOT remember it!

Emily, everyone loved your cake. A friend of Mrs. Shannon’s won it and is going out of town so she gave it to the teachers. They are all in for a wonderful treat Monday!!!! ~ Kathy

UPDATED 04/12/2010:  I found out last yesterday that this cake was won by a woman who turned around and donated it to the teachers at the school to enjoy!  I think that’s very sweet and I hope they all enjoyed it today!

Pink is Pretty


I just love the quilted look of this cake, and the pink ribbon roses, and the little pearls, and the fluffiness of the vanilla buttercream on the cupcakes…okay, I loved it all!

Emily we loved the cake and cupcakes. Carrot was the favorite! Almost too pretty to eat! ~ Erica

I also loved delivering this cake!  The little one that was the reason for the cake had the same kind of hair that my youngest son had when he was an infant (I miss that hair!)…I’ll leave you with a bonus picture of my son when he was only a few weeks old!

Love that fluff!

Love that fluff!

George is Curious!

This is a Curious George Birthday cake for a little girl turning one.  The mom had the cutest George party ware and it made it super easy to come up with a design for the cake!  Stay tuned for a how-to on the bow loops!

Happy 1st Birthday, Grace!

This cake was for my daughter Grace’s first birthday party. It was a hit! Everyone loved it. Not only did it look fabulous, it tasted great! Emily did such a wonderful job. I could not have asked for any part of the experience to have been better. Emily is a true artist and professional. GREAT JOB! We will be back! ~ Cheryl

Shrek

Shrek Cake

This was a birthday cake for a little boy turning 2!  I used my new airbrush for the first time on a cake and I’m TOTALLY in love with it!  Thanks Deb for being such a great teacher!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Brennan!

This Shrek cake was made for my son’s 2nd birthday party. His face just lit up when he saw the cake. He loved showing everyone his cake. Thanks Emily so much for making my son’s birthday extra special!! ~Erin

Bowling, Birthday & Bishop

Bowling Birthday Cake

Bowling Birthday Cake

This cake was ordered by a wife for the surprise birthday to celebrate the 30th birthday and a 300 game for her husband.  This cake was fun to make and also the first time I’ve used an airbrush!

Emily makes the most amazing cakes around. She made the bowling cake for my husbands 30th birthday party and it was a hit (picture on website.) Many of the Birthday guest asked for her contact info and have used her for more than one cake. I truly believe she can make any cake idea into reality. You dream it and she creates it. ~ Bethany

Cake for the Bishop

Cake for the Bishop

Dad asked me to make a cake for his Church.  Their bishop was coming to their Church for a visit.  The fondant cutout was NOT as easy as it looks!

Happiest of Birthdays to Carter and Braden!

Swimming Pool Cake and Cupcakes for Birthday

Swimming Pool Cake and Cupcakes for Birthday

Let me start by saying this was the most fun cake to deliver!  When we pulled up, the two boys were both sitting on the front porch!  They both wanted to help carry it inside and then oo-ed and ah-ed over it and wanted to touch it!  They kept asking if everything was edible!  SUPER cute!

Thank you very much!  The cake and cupcakes were great!  Everyone loved them!  I have several people that would like your website information to order cakes for their next event.  I will definitely have you make our next cake if you are interested!  Thanks again!  ~Amanda

Two and 21

This was a birthday cake weekend!  The first was a party for a young lady turning 21 and the second was for the cutest little red-head turning 2!  I learned a new trick this week that helps speed up the drying time on gum paste.  If you turn your oven light on, put the item in the oven that you want to dry and close the door, the drying time significantly decreases!  The items on the 21st birthday cake were all done this way.  Just remember, if you use this technique, just make sure EVERYONE that lives with you knows…the smell of burning gum paste is NOT pleasant!  I just left a note for all to see!

What  difference 2 years and some classes makes!  This is the cake I did almost 2 years ago for my nephew’s 1st birthday!
