Cakes for All Occasions

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

I absolutely adore this first cake on today’s post! I gave Kyong the design elements that needed to be incorporated on this Milk and Cookies themed cake and she knocked the design out of the park! I love every detail she did on this cake!

Next up is Irene’s son’s Super Hero birthday party she put together. She designed and made all the desserts for it. I also love the background she made for the dessert table. She took comic book pages and blew them up and framed them…what a great idea!

Custom cakes are a lot of fun making and this next poker themed birthday cake was no different.

We created an elegant 40th birthday cake based off the client’s invitation.

Wish I had more photos of this Guinness Beer cake Kyong did. It looked so amazing in person!

This Fedora hat cake was a lot of fun to make. I loved getting to carve it and how it came to life with the stitching and details.

Kyong recently made this adorable cake for a couple who loves beach camping in the VW Vanagon…too much fun!

Guy cakes are sometimes hard to master, but I think this muscle car cake came out pretty good!

Lastly, Kyong did a spot on hand painting of the Coppertone Kid label with a graduation twist on the theme. The client loved the beach and was a free spirit at heart.

Thanks so much for stopping by…let us know what cake you liked the best!

Fun Pops of Color

Monday, June 6th, 2011

Sometimes when designing cake I tend to stay to more neutral colors and wouldn’t always think to cover a whole cake in all color, but these next two cakes definitely remind me that some fun pops of color just might be the perfect thing sometimes!

I have to thank my amazingly talented friend Michelle, from Mibelle Photography, for the stunning photos. She is always so sweet and orders so many cakes from me and I am even more lucky when I get the photos back from the events! This yellow floral cake was one she ordered for her best friend’s bridal shower. I loved the room decorations they put up and they even rented the clear stand from my friend Carissa and filled it with lemons and more florals…love it!

Some of you might recognize this cake design since it was one I came up with based off a painting and Sydney loved the original so much she wanted to do it for her wedding cake as well, but this time we did it in a fun purple color. Kyong did this cake and I think it turned out perfectly!

For the set up instead of using cake stands Sydney wanted to use old cigar boxes…I think it turned out great!

More Eye Candy Coming Your Way!

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011

This first cake has to be one of Kyong’s sweetest creations yet! The theme was candy land and this is what Kyong dreamt up…don’t you just love it!!!

Damask always seems to catch the eye of certain clients and for this princess bridal shower it fit just right!

Here is another fun purse cake…pretty, pink, and Chanel!

This cake Irene made and I thought it came out perfectly! Yo Gabba Gabba is still going strong at the bakery!

We get lots of requests for Toy Story cakes and I love this next one with the jean and cowboy print pattern. The badges are so fun too.

For this sweet baby shower cake we pipped on tiny dots to mimic the clothing lines and then hung some baby onsies on them.

Kyong made the perfect Dora cupcake toppers for this next order.

How adorable is this airplane and stork cake…tiny and cute

We got the chance to do a fun mardi gras cake for a 70th birthday celebration.

This cake is all about fairies, dreams, and flying ponies! The little girl sent us some photos of her room and we tried to make that design into a dreamy cake for her.

Lastly one of my favorite shower cakes I’ve done…I just love the simplicity of it…the buttons, sugar thread, and delicate sugar flower. I got the chance to make this cake for a high school friend of mine and it was such a pleasure.

I also made some matching button sugar cookies. We frosted them with royal icing so they tasted yummy and delicious and then I draped a super thin piece of fondant on top to give it the detail and texture it needed.
