More enjoyment

Holy cow... we really cannot believe we are already more half way through June. Honestly. Its nuts and going by so quickly!

I love good lighting, and funky cakes. This cake was wrapped with think black ribbon and a deep turquoise ribbon. The result is a simple but fun look!

There is absolutely nothing like fresh fruit in the beginning of summer! The sweet, tart and all around delicious berries. YUM!

I love love love this one! The cake was covered with fondant in a pleated look and finished with soft white ribbons and handmade calla lillies. Now if only our beautiful, new cake stand wouldn't reflect such bright light onto our cakes...

This cake definitely looks a bit art deco-ish to me, and I love it. Its definitely a more traditional cake and is really stunning.

Congratulations to Riley who celebrated her graduation this past weekend! She is a beach, sand and sun lover, and requested that a fondant figure of herself sit atop her cake. And what do you need at the beach? Sun glasses. Perfect.

A simply yet elegantly decorated cake wrapped with a fondant ribbon and tuxedo style bows. The fresh green colors are absolutely so pretty this time of year.

And happy birthday to Zebb who turned five this past week. His two requests were for sprinkles and cars, so enjoy them both!

Its an early morning (posting before 7am?!) and still a bit chilly. We are getting ready for another weekend of fun cakes ahead, and hopefully warmer weather! And we are still working on getting a few pictures from some brides and others, so check back for those a bit later this week.

And a thank you to Dusty Brown Photography for dropping off a print of the cake from Monique and Kevin's wedding a few weeks ago, it looks stunning in our shop!

Have a good week everyone! Sara :)

So sorry this took so long to post some past cakes from this weekend! We had some pretty awesome cakes for pick-ups this week so we delayed the post until those were done :)

Have we mentioned yet that we love doing unique cakes? Please, come to us with your ideas, and let us run with them!

This cake was for Carter's birthday. He loves Elmo, trains, and trucks (sorry we had no room for the trucks Carter!) But we did have plenty of room for Elmo to be riding in a train! We tried a mirror shot so that you could see the train wrap around the whole cake. Happy birthday Carter!

Allison and Paul's wedding cake this past weekend contained four verses, one piped on each tier, from one of their favorite songs. I loved the greens and the pinks and think it turned out wonderful! Truly unique to them!

Remember the R2D2 cake? Well, I don't know if R2D2 could stand up to this one. It may look like a semi truck front, but its definitely Optimus Prime from the new Transformers movie. This was so much fun to carve out of cake and decorate. Hope you have a super birthday Conner!

This cake was for a dad, who was given a baby shower for his soon to be new daughter. Apparently this dad was hoping for a little buddy to go fishing and do all those manly things with. The light pink border just reminds him of his wonderful daughter to be!

A bridely blue elegant shower cake for a bride to be.

The topsy turvy cake returns! This was delivered to the JW Marriott this weekend for a beautiful wedding reception. The five tier cake was hand carved and then covered in fondant, and decorted with hand made sugar gerber daisies, swirls and pearls.

I tried to tint out the yellow as much as I could to really get the purple to show through - the colors were just so much fun!

Enjoy all these fun cakes! Thank you again to all of our wonderful clients, we truly love and enjoy being part of all your fun celebrations.

More cakes soon after this wedding filled weekend!

FedEx dropped us off a fabulous package today. First we thought, "what the heck did we order that is so heavy in such a small box?!" Then much to our suprise we saw this:

and then this:

Yup, we are pretty geeked!! Grand Rapids Bride is a wonderful magazine featuring everything from event planners, to cakes, to rehersal dinner sites. And it is just such an honor to be part of one of their two featured weddings. This is the only sneak peak at this years issue you'll get from us, so go out and purchase one for yourself and support a great magazine (and see our featured cake)!

Thats our exciting news. Honestly. We are so blessed! :)

to end our May weddings

Hello Readers! We seriously cannot believe that it is already June! Honestly, where did April and May go? It feels like wedding season just started, and we are already into the third month... crazy! We really have been lovin' our cakes lately...


This beautiful cake covered with simple moss green vines was delievered to the beautiful Cascade Country Club. We made two sugar cala lillies to sit on the teirs to match some of the table decor. What a beautiful event!

I love this one! I just love the bright colors of stripes, and it just says summer to me.


A very unique graduation cake for a Rockford grad was decorated with the "Beardcore" symbol, a group he takes part in.

Bradley was turning 5, and wanted a western theme cake. Instead of doing guns and handcuffs, we decided on cacti and cowboy hats. Too cute!

The dino's have returned! I love doing these dinos, they are just so cute and have so much personality.

Colleen and her groom Charlie chose a simple design of horizontal lines in two different shades of green. This cake was delivered to the beautiful St. Georges downtown. If you don't know about it or haven't seen it, check it out! Its set-up is so unique and needs hardly any decorating.

Monique and Kevin wanted to provide their guests with a variety of desserts and sweets at their reception at Thornapple Pointe, and we were more than happy to provide them. Requested were cream puffs, lime cupcakes, carrot cake cupcakes, and chocolate ganache dipped cupcakes. They also had a wedding cake ready to be sliced up for their guests. Delicious variety! Aletha from Pearls Events was their event coordinator and did a fabulous job as always (check out her services because she is just awesome!!) and Dusty Brown Photography did a beautiful job capturing their day, so make sure to check out his blog for more photos too!





We have plenty more weddings this weekend, so check back soon! Oh, and we have exciting (!) news, so look for that entry soon to come! Enjoy your hopefully not too rainy weekends :)

Almost June?

Hello Readers!

This weekend was filled with many wedding cakes, and a lot of unique ones at that. I think brides are becoming more and more personal with their cakes, and that is awesome! We would love for every single cake to be different. It makes our jobs so much more fun, and its great to see the cake incorporated so much into the bride and grooms wedding details.


This cake was wrapped with thin black ribbon in a kind of criss cross pattern, for a very fun and modern look. And the black and white is just stunning!


How awesome is this cake? We hand rolled fondant into the shape of pearls, then pearlized them with luster dust to give them the look and sheen of real pearls. We then placed them on the cake kind of like a string of pearls being draped over the tiers. A deep ivory fondant ribbon accented the cake and really helped the pearls stand out.

A simple white on white decorated cake was adorned with small piped vines and leaves and accented with fresh flowers. Beautiful on its own!

The cake is as fabulous as the stained glass window behind it, or more so! This is the first cake that we have done with taller tiers - the top tier on this cake stands 6in tall instead of the normal 4in. It ended up being a gorgeous tall masterpiece. The tiers were all wrapped with real satin ribbon in a light ivory champagne color. The flat iced cake was accented with hand made fondant flowers similar to dogwoods, and touched up with a bit of pink petal dust to bring in a bit of the wedding colors.

Congrats to all of our brides and everyone enjoy their week! :)

Just a few...

Hello Readers!!

Here are just a few cakes from this past weekend!


The first three pictures are of a baby shower cake. We love when people come to us with their ideas (what the baby's room will look like, colors the mom-to-be likes) and then lets us run with them! This future baby's room was going to be woodsy and organic, with some animals... but they still wanted the cake to reflect that it was a baby shower. We were happy to oblige!
One cute little baby bear with some honey...

and one cute little baby bear with his blanket! Too cute :)

This bride and groom wanted a cake that was just "them". They saw a style of cake they liked, and we sketched something a bit similar, but totally unique for them with their wedding colors. The end result: funky, elegant, and awesome.

This bride a grooms cake was very unique! They had alternating layers of chocolate ganache covered cake with itailian meringue buttercream iced layers. I personally think the result is pretty cool. With the bright pop of pink gerber daisies, this cake was large and stunning.

Everyone enjoy their weeks! We should have lots of pictures this coming weekend considering its one of our busiest all season! :)

All so different

Hello readers!

This past week was full of ALL different cakes! It really is a lot of fun to be able to do so many different designs during a weekend.

First, we were unable to get a picture of one of our wedding cakes we delivered due to a battery failure... but that is why we love our photographers! Karrn, and her husband Ken, jointly own Lotus Photographic, and they took amazing pictures not only of the cake, but of the wonderful day this bride and groom had! Check out the pictures and our cake at their website here under "Jessica and Josh". The cake below is Karrn and Ken's cake from back in February, modeled after their invitations. This is definitely one of my favorites :)

The cake below was for Dominic's first birthday party this past weekend. What a fun and fabulous cake for a first birthday!

I think this cake topper is just beautiful. And by adding a few flowers here and there, it really makes the whole display "pop". Oh, and all the white flowers were just stunning... who knew the absence of color could be so lovely?

A fun Hawiian themed cake for a future baby!

This is the style of designing that we love using... we like to call it "embroidery".

We did many cheesecakes for a wedding this past weekend. We topped all of them with an "L" made out of royal icing and using a pooling technique. Slick as can be!

Hope you all enjoyed the cakes and be looking for more after this coming weekend! :)
