Website Under Construction!!!

In the process of trying to update to newer photos on our website we seem to have lost everything!! Yikes. So if you are wanting to look at the site, hang in there we are doing the best we can to quickly fix this problem. We know you are just dying to see some new pictures of our cakes we have been working on so we will be updating and fixing this as soon as possible!!!

On a happier note, if you have not yet added us as a friend on Facebook join soon! We are going to be having tons of fun giveaways this summer and have recently posted our first one! Starting July 1st and running until July 31st we are having a "Refer A Friend" event. We will be offering a 25% off gift certificate to each client that refers a first time friend to place an order with us. Only exceptions are on wedding cakes as we are almost completely booked for the year. Only one certificate per client :)

Along with many many wedding cakes that we have been doing, we have had the opportunity to do quite a few fun kids birthday cakes. Here are a few to share with you:


This top picture was for a little girls birthday who wants to be an astronaut!!!

A fun scooby doo cake!!! 

One fish, two fish. Red fish, blue fish. Cat in the Hat birthday celebrations!!!

One of our favorite cakes!!! Alice in Wonderland. We tied in all of the elements of the movie, and even put a little fondant figure of Alice sticking out of the rabbit hole!!! It even had a tea party set on top! So cute!


The one on the right was a fun sweet 16 party, and the cake on the left was for a baby shower that we decorated to match the sheets that the new mother to be had picked for the nursery.

We love it when some of our couples or their photographers send us their photos of the cakes we created for them. I will be the first to admit that I am not a photographer...I leave that up to the experts!
Here a couple of pictures that were sent to us within the past couple of weeks.....Thank You!

Dawn & Nate
Thank You to Paul Retherford @ www.PaulRetherford.com
for providing these great pictures.....great job Paul!



This wintry cake design really complimented Dawn & Nate's vision of a winter wonderland theme.
A nice variety of cakes were served to their guests.....1/2 chocolate fudge& 1/2 white chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling, French vanilla cake with Bavarian cream & french vanilla filling and raspberry swirl cake with raspberry butter cream filling.

Dawn also surprised Nate with a tree stump grooms cake which was our Cookies and Cream cake with French vanilla butter cream and crushed oreos...mmmmmmmm!
Too Cute!

Noddea & Calin

What a fun couple! They are both very talented actors and are very involved with the Civic and Circle theater and wanted a cake designed to reflect their love of theater, jazz and New York City! Well, I believe we fit the bill.........check it out. Thank you to Noddea for providing us these pictures!!

They had replicas of themselves made for the cake top....aren't they cute!



The three tiered cake consisted of carrot cake with vanilla cream cheese filling, buttermilk spice cake with caramelized Apples and caramel butter cream and almond cake with pear ginger butter cream filling.

Bridesmaid Cake
This sweetheart cake was created for Jenna Rose of www.jennarosephotography.blogspot.com. She needed a cake for a photo shoot project, and requested lime green and pink colors and stated that she loved plumeria's. We were happy to accommodate and loved the way it turned out. Check out Jenna's work...she's amazing!


Here are a couple of "milestone" birthday celebration cakes we created these past couple of weeks for two special guys! We love it when our clients give us an idea of what they're looking for and let us run with it!



Eric is a big fan of Founders, so his wife surprised him with a large beer mug cake. Oh course we had to add some peanuts and pretzels! This cake was a German chocolate cake filled with milk chocolate buttercream and coconut pecan filling. Delicious!

Love, love this cake! This was for a 40th birthday bash that our friend Diana Racek of www.mimosa.me requested we create for a client of hers. It was made with our fabulous carrot cake with vanilla cream cheese filling. Yum!
Be sure to check out Diana's web site to see more pictures of this special event.
Great job Diana!
