Big Ol' Yellow Lego Cake

The request was simple - a big yellow Lego cake. I dressed up this larger-than-life Lego, with a Lego man on top holding a flag. Simple in design, amazing flavor (Caramel Lovers!) and oh, so cute!

Star Trek's USS Defiant Cake

This Star Trek USS Defiant cake is ready to blast off!

My client gave me quite the challenge on this one. This carved cake needed to be completely vegan -  which meant I couldn't use any rice cereal treats for structure, no gum paste for stability, nor any modeling chocolate for sculpting. I was also given a vegan caramel sauce to stuff the cake with, which I had never worked with before. I'm very proud that I was able to create their dream cake and make sure it was vegan (and super delicious)!

She surprised the birthday boy with this amazing cake. He was absolutely floored and loved it!

Flavor of the Month - Caramel Apple Pie

 Fall is in the air, the kiddos are heading back to school and trees all over Washington state are heavy with apples. This month's flavor is one of my personal favorites. I combined my love for pie and cake in one, to make - Caramel Apple Pie! Buttery Caramel cake, stuffed with our own Caramel Apples, topped with Cinnamon buttercream and homemade Crumbles. It'll make you weak in the knees.

Tree Stump Wedding Cake

This cake made me jealous. Jealous that is wasn't MY wedding cake. I got married way back in the early 90s in my small hometown. Never would I have even dreamt of something "non-traditional." I didn't even know that was an option. So, you can imagine just how excited I was to create this gorgeous tree stump wedding cake. Three 10" round cakes made up this cake - all different flavors. There are many personal touches on this cake, including the bunnies that are a music box that belongs to the bride and the hand-painted gorilla in the grain of bark (for the groom's love of gorillas).

Gaga for Gabba! Yo Gabba Gabba Cakes and Cupcake Toppers

I absolutely love Yo Gabba Gabba! When my soon-to-be 1st grader was a pre-schooler, it was one of my favorite shows she might watch. It's so fun, colorful, and upbeat - and I wanted the same for the cakes I've made. Here's a couple of different takes on Yo Gabba Gabba.

These first cakes and cupcake toppers were made for a party with primary colors. We thought it would be fun to have a bright green and vibrant red cake.

This newer cake was made for a little girl who especially loves Foofa. This Strawberry Lemonade cake was the perfect pink for Foofa and the others to shine!

Viva la France! Eiffel Tower Cake

I love cakes that instantly make me think about the different ways to pull off the design. There were a few different ways I thought about tackling the Eiffel Tower, and I loved that I decided to use modeling chocolate (something I've only used a handful of times). The hand-painted chocolate has this beautiful look of a porcelain sculpture - perfect for the 1960s French illustrative look I was going for. Paired with a soft blue color, dainty white dots and hand-scrolled black writing; this champagne cake was magnifique!

Nursing cakes, two ways

Here are a couple cakes that celebrate the hard-working nurses out there - one just graduating school and one retiring. This is a great example of how we can work with your budget. The first cake was a custom carved cake, designed to look like scrubs, a stethoscope and more. The second cake had 3D/sculptural fondant accents of the traditional nurse cap and stethoscope.

Colorful Birthday Cakes

I was excited to create these fun cakes for some friends of mine. Both are graphic designers (like most of my friends) and they were celebrating their daughter's first birthday. I loved the custom icon they created of their little girl's face and I wanted to play up the bright colors of their party with bright white graphic patterns. The combination of cakes and cupcakes were stunning!

August's Flavor of the Month - Banana Split

Our amazing banana cake is topped with Vanilla buttercream,
drizzled with dark chocolate ganache, sprinkled with peanuts and topped with a cherry!

Dots and Heart Cake

This sweet little cake was made for a baby shower celebrating the mom-to-be. The host knew she was having a baby girl, but didn't want the cake to be overly girlie and she didn't want a baby theme. Soft green and lavender dots cover this 5" round cake and one little pink heart is nestled in, safe and sound. This would make a wonderful gift for many occasions.
