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! :)

vacation in... november?

This past weekend truly, honestly was a kick off to the wedding season to come. This past week seemed to be not only a popular wedding day, but also a busy college graduation day, and busy birthday day. Who knew they might all fall on the same day?! And although it was a bit chilly, the sun shone here in the afternoon and lasted throughout the evening. It ended up being quite a beautiful evening. Now, where did our warm spring weather go?

Here is a close up of the cake posted last week, with the closer attention to the fondant swag detail added around the top of the cake. Let's just say this fondant covered cake helped us prep our muscles and rolling abilities for the coming summer :)

And so we added a new designer! To assist myself and Barb with the decorating, Rachel was brought on. Fabulous. I knew all those good grades in art class in high school would come in handy someday!

The Tinkerbell cake was a hit, and just so cute.

An EMU graduation cake. You'll also notice a daisy theme over this past weekend...

A simple, beautiful wedding cake from this past weekend.

A fun and springy wedding shower cake, complete with requested flip flops for the bride and groom.

The navy blue and light/bright pinks this bride chose were absolutely stunning. I blame the lighting at the reception hall for the poor quality photo :) A simple decorated cake with a navy blue tuxedo bow and ribbon on each layer with the pink gerbers in just beautiful.

This were awesome and fun cupcakes we did for a local hospital support group all topped with bright colored gerber daisies and green whirly-gigs.

You can have beautiful cupcakes at your wedding instead of a cake. And it really is becoming quite a popular trend. We have another cupcake wedding this weekend! This bride had amazing flavors of cupcakes (my personal favorite was banana with caramel buttercream filling, yum!) for her guests to choose from.

And more fun and funky cupcakes, this time for a 1-year olds birthday. I'd love to look back at my first birthday and say, "What cool cupcakes you bought me mom!".

Neat, right?

Here is Miss Sarah's princess birthday cake. Complete with glittery, shiney stars, a jeweled crown, and a castle!

Many, "happy birthdays" and, "Congratulations" to all of our clients and brides!

long waits I know!

So sorry its been so long since our last update! We have been so busy lately, which really is a blessing! Here are a few cakes from the past weeks we have to share with you...



A beautiful deep sage green fondant covered cake. We loved the fabric-looking border that went on this cake, and the green and the pink are perfect together.

This purse cake was for Grace, a very girly girl, who turned 6 years old and wanted a very feminine cake. We heard she really loved it!

A funky cake for a proud 40 year old woman to be.

An elegant split tiered cake filled with flowers and greens.

And a sage green pulled embrodiery cake, just beautiful.

Hope you are all enjoying your week so far! It's a busy weekend for us at the shop, so look forward to lots more photos to follow this weeked :)

Hello Readers!

We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day to "officially" start our wedding season. I don't believe we have a week/end off until October as of right now. Time to get back into wedding season, and we are ready! But before we awe you with beautiful wedding cakes, here are a few fun cakes from the past couple weeks!



This was Lauren's birthday cake last weekend. She is just a little cutie pie and loved gymnastics! We glittered this one up just for her!



Luca wanted cars on his birthday cake, and Luca got cars. How fun! Happy birthday Luca!



For all you brides that don't know what design you want on your cake... who ever said you couldn't have fresh fruit? This couple loved fruit, and chose to adorn their wedding cake with simple swiss dots, and lots of fresh fruit! How delicious.


This couple chose to do a few different styles of cakes for their guests. We did centerpiece cakes, mini cakes, and a main cake for the couple to cut and save for their anniversary. Their colors were beautiful, and elegant, and who doesn't love a cake covered in chocolate ganache? We topped the cakes with fondant tulips and ribbons. The main cake was covered with an embroidery technique in a soft ivory color, and topped with fresh flowers. All in all, it was a beautiful set up!

Hope you all have a good week, and enjoy the warmer weather! :)

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all readers! Hope your weekend was filled with family fun and warm sunshine!

We had fun this week doing quite a few cakes... as we watched the 5 or so inches of snow fall!

But we had fun none-the-less doing spring-ey designs, including this one that was for a 3rd birthday. She loves ballons, bunnies, and the color blue. This one is for you Olivia!

A happy 8th birthday to Claire!

And a happy birthday to Chad, who turned 24 this weekend, and got this awesome R2D2 cake. Star Wars fans unite!

Everyone have a great week, and enjoy your first full week of spring!!
