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!

Princess Crown Cake
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.
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!

Oktoberfest Beer Stein Groom's Cake
This cake was requested by a mom for her son’s groom’s cake as a surprise for their rehearsal dinner. It was delivered to a local brewery’s bottling plant that also serves as a restaurant and banquet hall. It was fun bringing the cake past all the customers at the brewery! I should note that this cake was a total of about 20″ high and 9″ around. The logo on the front was about 10″x6″ and the pretzel was about 6″ across! It sat on a 20″ board. This sucker was HUGE! And according to the mom, people were licking the plates clean…I love it!

Pool Ball Cupcake Groom's Cake
This cake went along with the Birch Tree Wedding Cake from this post. The bride wanted to surprise her future husband with a cool groom’s cake. I really liked how a simple design looks so cool! And this bride was a fun one to work with!
“It was PERFECT and the best Carrot Cake I’ve ever eaten! I had three of them myself… not kidding!

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!).

Butterflies & Flowers 1st Birthday Cake
I LOVE girly cakes! This one was based off the plates for the party (Hugs N Stitches). I love the colors! This is the first time I’ve done a stacked buttercream cake without borders and I LOVE the way it came out…very clean!

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!
Baby Shower Cake
This cake was designed after the bedding in the baby’s room. To say that a fondant bow looks easy is true and even watching tutorials, it looks easy to do. Let me tell you folks, I have practiced LOTS and LOTS of fondant bows and they are NOT easy! This bow is the first one I’ve actually been happy with!
