A Dessert for any Event

At Sweet Cakes Design we take pride in creating a magical and memorable dessert for any occasion and over the past few weeks we have had the opportunity to create special treats for many special days. Bridal showers, baby showers, birthdays, you name it, we'll bake it! One of my favorite cake displays was a collect of purses for a bridal shower. A bridal shower it a great time to break-away from your wedding colors and theme and have fun exploring with a fun themed party, crazy food and drink and of course, a not-so-traditional wedding cake.

Enjoy!

Cookies are fantastic favors for any event!

Almost to cute to eat...almost!

Civic Theater Cake!

WE WON!
So, what is this all about? SC Design and other area bake shops were
asked by the Grand Rapids Civic Theater to donate a "Birthday Cake" to
celebrate all the birthdays of their wonderful, dedicated volunteers.
They gave us carte blanche in regards to the design, cake
flavors/fillings ect....
As everyone knows, we can't do something simple.........we pulled out
all the stops on this one!
ANYWAY......each volunteer was requested to vote for the cake they
liked the best and we recieved the most votes!

Sooooo...we won a free advertisement in their first playbill for "The
25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee".

Myself and my staff REALLY enjoyed participating in this
event.......thanks for letting me share this with all of you!

A Nice Day for a Centerpiece Wedding

A single wedding cake has become a thing of the past. The latest and greatest in wedding trends is centerpiece cakes! Why not alow an entire table of your guest to enjoy there own personal wedding cake? Theses cakes make for great table decor and the styles are endless. Let's let the pictures do the talking.

A traditional tiered wedding cake may still be used but a fun twist would be to display it on the head table!

Bride and Bloom

We are so proud to announce that the Summer 2009 issue of Bride and Bloom is hot off the press! We thought we should give you a little sneak-peek of what's inside but be sure to pick of a copy of your own. Trust me, it's well worth the read.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful work Jenn, Jodi! And a big shout out to Jen for the wonderful images. Below are few images that didn't make the spread but who doesn't love a good cake picture. Enjoy!

ooooo I just love the summer yellow color! Enjoy the weekend everyone!

A Month of June Weddings

June is a beautiful month for a wedding and you would be surprised at the variety of styles, colors, and themes we see.

Chasity and Andrew celebrated their wedding this past weekend. Each guest received their own mini, two tiered cake. The style, cake and fillings variety for each design and oh the detail! Theses little beauties are almost to cute to eat.

Corie and George selected beautiful draped cake with touches of hydrangea. The silver polished monogram was the perfect final touch.

June wasn't all weddings so we thought we should show you just a little of a gorgeous graduation party. Hats off to Jodi and Jenn for their always fabulous event and floral design expertise! On to the cake!

Hats off to Jen Kroll for her beautiful image. It's hard to believe June is almost done with but we are really looking forward to kicking some wonderful cakes for the rest of the wedding season.

Kid Cakes

Even though we are starting to kick of our 2009 wedding season we are still able to sneak a few fabulous birthday cakes. An there is nothing better then seeing a 4 year olds favorite cartoon come to life.

Who doesn't love the Backyardigans?!

The gangs all here!

We are able to create almost anything your kids can think of and here are few of our favorites. Boy kids sure do have creative imaginations!

Cookies are always a crowd favorite!

And finally, who doesn't like to host a great Cinco de Mayo fiesta?

Like I said wedding season is up and running so it's back to the kitchen for me but feel free to give us a call so we can bake you something sweet for any occasion!

Wedding season has begun...

...and we'll begin those next week :) This week we have quite a variety of different celebration cakes.


Here is Dominic's birthday cake for his second birthday. We did his first birthday cake last year, and we happy to do another one for him this year! Hopefully he'll stay with us for his cakes all the way up to his wedding :)

This awesome orchid cake was for a baby shower! How cool is that? So totally different. Jennifer dropped off a plate and a napkin for us to get creative off of. I think the result is great!

I love this one year olds birthday cake. The flowers remind me of some sort of zinnia, maybe. Lots of bright and fun colors for this one-year-olds birthday... oh and her cute little smash cake to go with it.

Who wouldn't want an i-pod to cut into for their birthday?! This birthday boy's mom even knew his favorite songs to have written on the cake - that is one loving mom!

We did a baby shower cake similar to this before, but it was just one tier. Covering the 3 tiers of cake we these dots is just perfect for a modern, hip, classic mother-to-be. The top is adorned with some baby bottles, a few diaper bags, a pair of sun glasses and a snuggly baby blanket. I'm not a fan of big, poofy bows on cakes, but these simple bows are just adorable.

An adorable monkey baby shower cake was ordered from one of our favorite clients - who I hear throws amazing showers.

A simple birthday cake featuring spring colors and tulips is perfect for a mothers birthday.

We will most definitely have wedding cake pictures from this weekend next week to talk about and post. I cannot count the weddings on one hand and I don't think I could count the wedding and specialty cake orders on two hands... so be prepared for photo overload! - Sara :)
