Birthdays & Babies

Posted on January 18, 2011 | Leave a comment

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.

Grandma’s 80th Birthday Cake

Posted on October 27, 2010 | 3 Comments
80th Birthday Cake

80th Birthday Cake

This is the cake I did for my Grandma’s 80th birthday this past weekend. It is a culmination of some of her ‘loves’…traveling, teaching and gardening.

The bottom layer was a suitcase covered in edible luggage stickers from some of the places she’s traveled.  The next tier was the “teacher” tier and it had an edible blackboard, an apple made from puffed rice cereal treats and a turtle.  I did the top tier of her birthday cake with a flower pot made out of cake and the sugar Ranunculus flowers because for as long as I’ve been alive (and much longer I’m sure) she’s had envious really nice gardens in her homes.  The Plumeria blossoms were on the cake because she loved Hawaii so much she bought a pair of Plumeria earrings (which she happened to be wearing that day!)

Happy Birthday, Grandma!  I really enjoyed planning out and making your birthday cake!  You are a wonderful inspiration to me–your determination, stamina, hard work, thoughtfulness, caring, compassion and so much more!  I love you!

“How does one thank you for such an incredible gift–your cake, your talent, your time–all precious…a gift like that has such a short life, but it will last in my memory.” ~Grandma

September’s Birthday Cakes

Posted on October 4, 2010 | Leave a comment

FINALLY, a blog post…with content and pictures!! Don’t fall off your chairs, folks…I know it’s been a while! I’ve decided that instead of doing separate posts for each cake, that I would group them into categories! I’ll start off with the birthday cakes from the month of September (and a few from the end of August too!).

***Click on each of the pictures for a description of the cakes!***

From the Tools Cake: “It was awesome and survived the trip to Nashville very well! We all had a good laugh as we ate it in the partially remodeled house.” ~Kay

From the Ladybug Cake: “Emily did a fantastic job, as usual!” ~Bonnie

From the Fall Leaves Cake: “Everyone loved the cake! Mom & Dad were so touched by the leaves with all of our names.” ~Kay

From the Dora Cake: “Emily, I just wanted to say thanks for your hard work on Julia’s Dora cake. Everyone thought it was amazing!” ~Ashley

From the “All-About-Me” Cake: “Jordan loved the cake! The guests loved sampling all three flavors!” ~Christine

From the Princess Cake: “Thanks for doing Brooke’s cake, it was amazing!!!!” ~ Christi

Golf Birthday Cake

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!

Doghouse Birthday Cake

Doghouse Birthday Cake

I made this cake for my youngest son’s 3rd birthday.  To say my son loves dogs is a HUGE understatement, so his cake was perfect for him!  The puppies were modeled after his best friends: Cooper, Owen and Brewster!  Here are pictures of all of them together:

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:

The remaining cakes from the weekend

Posted on May 27, 2010 | 2 Comments
Beach Birthday Cake

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

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!

Playing Catch-up

Okay, I’m a few cakes behind and I have another two I’m currently working on.

Daisy Birthday Cake

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.

Gift Box Wedding Cake

Posted on May 2, 2010 | Leave a comment

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
