Welcome Baby Brady

Welcome little Brady Noah! This baby shower cake was done in the brown, navy and red theme colors. We also added some flowers to the cake and of course a little basset hound on the top of the cake laying on a little flower shaped rug. This cake will serve about 45 people.

Barn Birthday


Remember that song as you were growing up? It was like a cheer... "Open up the barn door, Kick out the hay, We're the girls from the USA!" well, I don't know the rest, but it sure was cute, or at least it was when I was 5.... like forever ago.

This cake I did for a little girl who turned 5 and she wanted a barn cake. How cute is that! So the barn is also made out of cake which just made it even cuter, and the silo is made out of chocolate chip cookies.  The bale of hay is a cupcake and the water, well its blue gel icing.  So many neat ideas on this cake!

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea???







Spongebob cakes are very popular for birthday parties!  This cake was for Evan's 3rd birthday and it was so much fun to make. The whole cake serves about 60 people. I must admit I was pretty nervous about the decorating. I was asked to make the cartoon people out of fondant.... not just run to Target and buy little plastic dudes ( That sounded much easier!)  Once I started on the little guys -making them out of fondant wasn't that hard and they turned out really good!

Something Borrowed, Something Blue


This cutie of a cake was for a bridal shower a couple of weeks ago. The bridesmaid dresses were navy blue so of course we covered the cake in navy blue fondant, and then decorated with the same flowers that are being used in the wedding. The cake turned out great - and yes, the flowers were made out of fondant.  I bet it tasted even better than it looked.  It was chocolate cake with cookies and cream filling and strawberry cake with chocolate ganache and sliced strawberry filling.  All I can say is YUM! I also have to admit, the flowers, even though they took forever to do, turned out simply beautiful! This cake was large enough to feed about 45 people. And, a special thanks to my sister Mary for helping me deliver it! My mom usually helps me out, but with her out of town and Mary in..... she got the honors. Thanks Mary!
