Golf Birthday Cake
This cake was fun! I love the argyle! I’ve seen it a few times on cakes and thought I’d give it a try…I like the results! This is the first buttercream cake I’ve done that hasn’t had a border around the bottom…love the way that turned out too!
Golf Bag Graduation Cake
This cake was MASSIVE! It served 150 and was about 28″ tall! It was made for a girl graduating from high school this year. She played golf throughout high school and was getting ready to play golf in college. It’s hard to tell from the picture, but the “towel” by the grad cap is “dirty and used” and the one on the bag is “new and white”…signifying her transition. I had fun with this cake, from it’s conception to it’s delivery (although that was stressful after what happened to this cake, that was all I kept thinking about! Thank you to my Dad who helped me construct the board it sat upon and to my husband, who “hugged” the cake the entire 25 miles to deliver!
Congratulations Elyse! May your journey be fun and rewarding! Good luck at Eastern!
And just so that you can see the massiveness of this cake, here is a picture of the cake just after it was stacked on the board and covered with buttercream. Notice the coke can sitting next to the cake? This thing was huge! It took about 8 1/2 pounds of fondant just to cover this cake (by the way, I SO NEED A SHEETER if anyone has a spare that they would be willing to part with!). In total, there were 12 cake layers, about 13 pounds of fondant and 2 1/2 BIG batches of buttercream! Not to mention a full bag of Oreos!

Beach Birthday Cake
This cake was loosely based off of the partyware for the birthday party. I’ve wanted to try the plumeria flower for a long time and have had a tutorial printed for over a year, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity! I love this cake…it makes me really just want to pull up a beach chair and read a book under the sun! It’s hard to see from the picture, but there were actually two different borders on this cake. The one you can’t really see was a “wave” pattern on the other side. I used a white and blue striped bag to get a whitecap effect…wish I would have gotten a picture of it!
Soccer Birthday Cake
This cake was for a young man that got this soccer cake last year for his birthday…maybe next year, we’ll try and change it up a bit! 
Happy Birthday, Jackson!

Okay, I’m a few cakes behind and I have another two I’m currently working on.
Daisy Birthday Cake
Daisy Cupcakes
The first cake was for a mother’s birthday. It happened to be Mother’s day weekend. The family didn’t want to focus on how old their mom was, but who she is to the people in her family…hence the flowers with the names written on them. The cupcakes went with the cake.
Graduation Cap Cake
The second cake was for a graduation celebration at my husband’s work. Three of his co-workers were graduating.

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
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
Movie-Themed Cake
Back in August, I was contacted by a school to make a cake for their fundraising auction. Over the last several months, we’ve emailed back and forth to come up with the perfect cake for their event. I spent a few hours designing it, several hours in the last week getting the decorations finished so they had time to dry, a few hours baking, and then several more hours decorating the cake. When I left to deliver it, it looked like the above.

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 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
Wizard of Oz Birthday Cake
I just LOVE the Wizard of Oz, so I was really thrilled to get the opportunity to make this cake! It is for a little girl turning 4!
Lego Cake
I’m so thrilled with how this cake turned out! I only wish that I would have gotten a side picture! The cake was a 6″ square block with a 6″x3″ rectangle block on top.
Happy 9th Birthday, Matthew!
