Busy, Busy and Even More Busy!

Wow! The last few weeks have been so crazy for us at Sweet Cakes! On top of all of the weddings we are working on and awesome special event cakes we participated in the first annual 105.3 HOT FM Bridesmaid's Ball at the JW Marriot. Everything went off with a hitch, unless you consider the groom walking out on the bride a hitch lol. The Dog Story Theatre put on a fake wedding in which that groom has several of his EX-Girlfriends standing behind him. Which of course caused problems, and the groom ended up walking out. However there was still a party and the reception went until all hours of the night. Our cake mimicked the fact that we knew he would be running off leaving the bride at the alter. We will be posting pictures of it soon, but as we all are cake decorators and NOT photographers we didnt get great pictues that would do the cake justice. On top of having a great display all of the tiers were different new flavors we are now offering.
      *Banana Split Cake- 1/2 Banana Almond cake, 1/2 white chocolate cake with french vanilla
        buttercream filling, chopped nuts, fresh sliced strawberries, chocolate buttercream and chocolate
        ganache

     *Chocolate Fudge cake with Orange Grand Marnier buttercream and fresh orange curd

     *White Chocolate cake with Blackberry fresh fruit and vanilla cream cheese, my new personal favorite!

     * Death by Chocolate- chocolate fudge cake with chocolate malt buttercream and chocolate ganache

     * Lemon cake with lemon creme filling and fresh lemon curd


If you have any other interesting flavor combinations that you would like to try for your next cake let us know, we are always looking for new flavors!

Keep an eye out for new photos that we will be updating later this week!

Bridesmaid Ball

Sweet Cakes Design will be part of an upcoming event hosted by the local radio station, 105.3 HOT FM! The event is going to be Friday August 13, at 7:00 PM. It will be an evening of fun and games. They will begin the night with a "wedding gone wrong" hosted by the Dog Story Theatre with radio DJ Ellen Tailor as the Maid of Honor, and DJ Gravy as the Best Man. It is a free event, however you have to have a ticket to the event and it is a 21+ event. Sweet Cakes Design will be making a REAL wedding cake, that will be a part of the reception area at the "wedding". We will be cutting and serving the actual cake, so for those of you who have never seen our cakes before this will be a chance to see them. It will be a full size wedding cake, with multiple tiers and a top secret design that will incorporate the theme of the wedding! Check out their website for more details, and tune in to 105.3 HOT FM radio station and listen to hear our name.

Babies, Birthday's and Graduations

Also as you may have noticed we are still working on getting our website back up and running properly, keep checking it for new photos daily! Here are a few photos of some of the awesome cakes we have been doing!!!

This was for a first birthday, with a lolipop theme. So much fun!

We loved the story behind this one. It was for an new mother to be who was having a scheduled birth and they wanted to celebrate with a cake!

Monkey See Monkey Do! This was our intern, Angela's very first 3-D fondant character!

One of our photographer friends, Jen Kroll had a cake made for her son Ethan's Birthday. He is a HUGE fan of the Harry Potter Lego game for his WII, if you couldnt guess

This was a cake for a boy graduating from high school who was going to college to be a biochemist!!! Thus the microscope cake and the scientific writing. Hope he understands what it means, we sure didnt!!!

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.
