is there another word?

Is there another word for how sorry we are that we didn't update the WHOLE ENTIRE MONTH of August?! Holy moly that flew by fast! I cannot believe that it's September first... And you know what we love about fall? The change of wedding color themes, fall cakes, and new savory fall cake flavors are on the horizon. We have two cakes this week consisting of Spice Cake filled Carmalized Apples and Caramel Buttercream. DELICIOUS. Its always nice to change seasons and make different cake flavors. But at the same time, I will definitely miss the Citrus Delight cake as it usually its a hibernation period this time of year. But, enough of fall, we need to get those August cakes out here!

This stunning, simple, and modern cake was covered with fondant and hand drawn ferns to go along with the brides simple and elegant tastes at her wedding reception. The greens, purples and oranges were awesome colors to work with. Amy Carroll photographed this wedding and had a sneak preview up featuring, I know, a much better picture of this beauty (Check back to her August 29th entry)


Another of my favorite, very modern cakes! I mean, WHO doesn't love plaid?! I was told by Barb to sketch some modern, J Crew style cakes using blues, greens, and a bit of orange. I came up with a few different ideas, but the plaid cake was the one I was hoping they would choose. I was delighted that they LOVED it. Jen Kroll was the photographer for this wedding, and I'm sure took a stunning picture of this cake.
A fun birthday cake featuring handmade gerbers and other flowers and grasses.

A birthday cake I was so excited to do for a past bride, Becky (her cake is the beauty in front of the stained glass window), for her husband, Matt's, birthday. It's Brian Fellows, from SNL, and it's a bit of an inside joke between them. Luckily we knew of the skit, and were happy to do it for her. Hope you liked the cake Becky!

We are loving this lime green at the shop! This cake has more of a traditional classy look covered in cornelli lace and simple swags.

A classy cake iced smooth and decorated with a swirl pattern and sparsely placed flowers.

These next two pictures go together. The first are cupcakes that are decorated to look like frogs for the kids at Lydia's birthday party. And the second is the cake that accompany's them for the adults. Lydia loves frogs!

Lady bug and Richard Scarry's Gold Bug (some of my fav books when I was a kid!) for Caroline's birthday party at school!

An elegant swirl detailed cake with a plum ribbon border.

We were given a piece of the brides lace dress to copy onto the cake. The lace was beautiful, a bit flowery with branches. We piped on the design with icing, and then pulled it with a brush to make it look like it was sewn on. We loved the result.

What a fun baby shower cake! We made this baby shower cake to look like a book. They wanted it very girly, and to semi-resemble a fairy tale book. So we made it look very elegant, feminine, and whimsical.

An awesome grooms car cake Rachel and Amanda worked very deligently on...

This cake was decorated to resemble the couples wedding invitations. A pic of the invitation is below. I love how the details turned out!

A fun and funky cake for sure for this bride and groom. We dropped this one off, from what I hear, is the newly remolded Centenniel Country Club. The club was beautiful and the staff was incredibly friendly!

Barb decorated this cool cake for a gigantic hockey fan. he was turning 10, and she even made the hockey stick and puck on the front look like the number 10!

A simple baby shower cake for a mom expecting TWIN girls!

Sex and the City themed bachelorette party cupcakes.

A beautiful cake covered in dark ivory vines.

Jackson had a barnyard themed birthday party, they were even bringing in a petting zoo! So this mom wanted a busy barnyard cake... horse, cow, chickens, a pig and a hungry lamb.

I hope that is enough cakes to keep you all busy for now! Hopefully we'll get another post up in the next few days with more of August cakes, then onto Septembers! Crazy. Hope you all enjoyed your holiday weekends, it was just beautiful! - Sara :)

Closing up July...

We are closing up the month of August with a lot of fun cakes, and one that we've been trying to get a picture posted of for a while. So enjoy the end of July with us!

How fun is this one?! Covered in chocolate ganache (YUM!) and highlighted with bright robins egg blue and lime green. So fun!

A simple cake adorned with daisies surrounding each tier bottom. The daisies were hand made and just add a touch of class.

Another tractor cake went out this week! This time we covered the sides with fields and corn and I just think its so cute! (So did the mom, hopefully we'll have a picture of Jack next week eating his yummy cake!)

This cake has been waiting in the wings a while to get posted! We could not seem to find the picture in our files. Finally, after some deep file searching it popped up. So, Sarah, here is your wedding cake! A little late, but still beautiful!

This cake was also found deep in our files. It was for a baby shower cake a few months back and the colors are just fabulous! We mocked the invitation in colors, style and design. Awesome.

A fun birthday cake!

And YUM! If you don't know Yesterdog, you should. Best hot dogs, hands down. I enjoyed doing this cake SO MUCH! The company Let us Cater, caters for Yesterdog so you can have them at your company party, wedding, graduation party, any occasion. They are great to work with. And instead of those end-of-the-night-slider burgers, how delicious would these be?! Anyway, this cake was for their company picnic, and I promise, did not taste like hot dogs.

Rachel hand made these Britney Spaniels for the top of the grooms cake at a wedding last weekend. She did a fabulous job and the bride, groom and all the guests just raved about it!

And that is all for now. We did just finish a guitar cake earlier today, some fun cupcakes, and are working on some wedding cakes later this weekend, so keep those eyes peeled for more pictures!

have a good week/end! - Sara :)

We had just a few cakes this week, so it will be short and sweet again!


A cute, cute chocolate cinnamon cake (a newly added flavor to our new brochures) covered with all things John Deere! Including a little tractor!

The wedding cake, to go along with many cupcakes, for Alexandria and Brett this past weekend. We copied their invitation colors and style right onto the cake, along with their new monogram. I love it!

This was from awhile ago, and I don't know how I just stumbled upon it! A solar system style cake was so fun to do!

This cake is so sweet! The mother came in, said she called many, many places and couldn't find anyone to make a watermelon cake for her adorable daughters first birthday! Of course we said yes! To top it off, we made a strawberry cake, so that once it was cut into, it still looked like a real watermelon!

And we made these extra slices for Maggie herself. Yum!

Everyone enjoy the rest of their week and the upcoming weekend! - Sara :)

Hey everyone! We had quite a few cakes last week, probably our busiest week in July! And honestly, can you believe its the 19th this weekend? August is coming up extremely quick! So, I will keep these short and sweet :)

We did a mini cake wedding...


Another beautifully tall cake... (love this one!)


A castle cake...

(although this is from a few weeks ago) a cake seperated with limes...

A very delicate, and detailed, cake...

a dotted cake...

An R2D2 cake!

A cake adorned with handmade bamboo sticks...

And a whole lot of funky cakes for a completely pink and orange wedding...

I'm still working on getting a few more cakes up here, including an awesome cake for Ethan that seemed like it was on fire...

So enjoy these for now and hopefully those will make it up soon! - Sara :)

Seriously... July?

I know, I know its been a little while since our last update, but I promise we have been keeping busy! This summer has been busy, and moving quite quickly!


We made many, many dalmation cookies this week for one of our brides as her favors. No worries, this one that was playing in the grass was only eaten by those inside the bakery :)


A beautifully simple cake for a close friends daughter - she was both mine and Barb's professor at one point, and we were more than happy to do her daughters wedding cake! The wedding was at Post Family Farm and was just gorgeous. The weather couldn't have been better!

A swirl design was piped onto this cake and accented with light purple flowers.

The dinosaurs made another appearance for a birthday party this past weekend, so cute.

This castle cake was so much fun to do! We made the columns out of cardboard tubing (cleaned!) then covered in white fondant and accented with pinks and purples. A princess was made for each girl to have for themselves. My favorite part of the castle was the window boxes. They are a simple addition that really pops, and adding flowers to it made is super cute.

I hope you all enjoyed the preview, we still have a few cakes to upload and add to the blog, and we have quite a few wedding cakes this weekend! So be looking for an update either later this week or early next! Hope you all enjoyed your 4th of July weekends! - Sara :)
