July's Flavor of the Month - Rootbeer Float!

Nothing is more refreshing during summer than a big frosty mug, foaming over with a root beer float. We have been waiting for months for July's flavor and spent lots of time perfecting it just for you. Smooth Root Beer cake is stuffed with Root Beer Whipped Cream and topped with our delicious Vanilla buttercream.

Ladybug In The Grass Cake

It's summertime, which means outdoor parties, laying in the grass and cute little ladybugs. Or big ladybugs on top of a cake! This cute ladybug is our yummy Caramel Lovers cake and perfect for those summertime birthdays.

Dashboard Hula Girl Cake

This fun birthday cake takes us all right to Hawaii. A dashboard hula girl on top of a little island in the sea on top of the cake is encircled with hibiscus flowers, palm trees and even a ukulele. Playful, colorful and delicious! Aloha!

Reds, Pinks and Purples Ombre Cake

These cakes were created for a little girl's first birthday, with a hot air balloon theme all in shades of reds, pinks and purples. We wanted to create something different, pretty and girlie and the customer did not want balloons on the cake. I took inspiration from an AMAZING Ombre Rainbow Cake (by Rise & Shine Bakery) and created this 10" round cake and mini 5" baby cake. Thousands of hand-piped dots later, and they had two stunning cakes that fit in perfectly with their theme!

Dora The Explorer Backpack Cake and Toppers

This backpack cake and custom Dora toppers were made for a little girl's 2nd birthday. The bright colors and expressive faces really bring these cute cupcakes and cake to life. By the time I was done making the backpack, I was ready for it to start talking to me! This is a great example of how one cake and one dozen cupcakes can really be the star of the show (well, next to the birthday girl, of course).

June's Flavor of the Month: ROLO!

All month long we'll have Rolos in the shop! Rich chocolate cake stuffed with caramel sauce, topped with creamy caramel buttercream and rolled in chocolate sprinkles. Trust me, you'll want more than one.

May's Flavor of the Month - Margarita!

It's back! This month's flavor of the month is one of my personal favorites...

MARGARITA!

A sweet-tart cake, full of flavor because there's really a margarita in it.
It's full of tequila, triple sec and lime and sprinkled with sea salt. Muy bueno!

Gambling Cake

There's no need to take a gamble, this cake is a winner! Our client's husband was turning 49 and she wanted to have a special cake for the event. The party's colors were oranges and browns and we wanted to highlight one of the things he loves doing and thought a gambling cake would be fun. Instead of the traditional red and black cards, we hand-painted them in oranges and browns to match the warm-colored poker chips and bright orange dice. The birthday boy's age was highlighted in a subtle way with the two cards on the front of the cake.

St. Patrick's Day School Auction Cake

This fun cake was created for the kiddo's annual school auction's dessert dash on St. Patrick's Day. They had an "Over the Rainbow" theme and I used their flyers for inspiration. Not only does this vibrant rainbow lead to a pot of gold, over-spilling with gold coins, but you find tons of school supplies, too. This tasty Irish Car Bomb cake was a fun to see come to life, and it came out better than I had even planned. Most importantly, it raised a lot of money for a great school!
