Crew’s Ombre Surf 1st Birthday Party

admin — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 22:30:26 +0000

To start off the New Year right I thought I would blog one of my favorite kid’s parties yet! My sweet friend and photographer Ashley Rose’s little boy, Crew, turned 1 this year and I was lucky enough to be a part of this amazing party! Ashley is a super mom and basically did all of the design, decorating, projects, etc for the whole day!

Some of my best girlfriends Elizabeth and Karrie from Posh Paperie created the fabulous invitations and the Wedding Chicks made these adorable printed bags!

How cute is this cereal and breakfast bar…

Chocolate milk shot glasses anyone

For Crew’s birthday desserts we went with the ombre blue color scheme and added some surf themed touches to the desserts.

I love this new ombre buttercream technique that we have been doing at the shop and thought it would be perfect for Crew’s cake…it’s modern, clean, and bold. We added a fondant surfboard and some gold fish to the bottom of the cake and voila! Ashley also rented this fab table from Found Vintage Rentals!

We created some ombre blue cake lollipops and added mini shark fins to the tops of them. For the bottom of the dish I thought it would be fun put the gold fish again.

We then did some mini cupcakes, vanilla panna cotta shot glasses tinted blue, and chocolate dipped ombre rice crispy treats!

Here is the cutie digging into his cake….love these photos!

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog and Happy New Year!

Big Announcement: Now Shipping Sweet & Saucy Cake Lollipops

admin — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 00:56:42 +0000

One question that my mom and I are always asked by our customers at the bakery and our customers in other states is “When are you going to start shipping your cake lollipops?” Well we listened too all of your thoughts and suggestions and being someone who doesn’t jump into anything without thinking it through and coming up with some cute packaging to go along with it , we decided last year to start the BIG endeavor of shipping desserts across the country and now finally it has come to fruition.

We of course enlisted the help of my talented friend Karrie Pyke, from Karrie Pyke Designs, to come up with package design and then the talented Kristin Eldridge shot some gorgeous photos of our product for us, and lastly my amazing husband Tim, from Skip Agency, brought it all to life through our new website…www.sweetandsaucypops.com!!!

We at Sweet & Saucy Shop couldn’t be happier to announce that you can now purchase our cake lollipops in boxes of 12 or 24 whenever you want, no matter where you are from in the United States. We would love for you to check out our new site and of course we think that our cake lollipops would be the perfect Christmas present under any tree this holiday season! My mom and I thank you so much for your support over these last few years as our business has grown and we are excited to open this new chapter of our business!

Carissa’s Space Invader Baby Shower

admin — Thu, 29 Sep 2011 16:22:08 +0000

I am so excited to share this next baby shower with you since it is for one of my sweet wedding girlfriend’s, Carissa of JL Designs! I am beyond happy for Carissa and Brian as they start this next chapter in their lives and to celebrate we did an over-the-top baby shower for them! Carissa is having a little boy and loved the idea of a space invader themed shower so that is just what we gave her. I teamed up with a bunch of my talented wedding friends to put the shower together and you can check them all out at the end of the post!

Up first the dessert bar! We created robot cake pops, cupcakes with robot toppers, “asteroids” (white chocolate dipped donut holes), “flying saucers” (custom sugar cookies), and Kyong did a great Space Invader themed cake.

Isn’t Carissa glowing…

I just love all the details that went into this party…so much fun!

How much fun is this backdrop that Jesi created!?!

Of course that is me holding baby Maverick (Jesi’s little boy)…every time I see him I can’t help but steal him away.

And more desserts…

Custom Kid’s Cakes

admin — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 22:05:52 +0000

Well the kid’s cakes in my iphoto gallery have been stacking up so I thought I would share some recent ones we’ve done with you! Kyong mainly heads up the kid’s cake section and I have to say she does an amazing job bringing the cake designs to life! First up a 1st birthday party for a little rocker boy

Sesame Street and especially Elmo is always popular with the younger crowd!

This was a fun project we did recently for a 1st birthday party. They had a whole dessert bar set up too, but I don’t have those photos yet. We created three baby tigers for them and then a bunch of adorable baby tiger cake lollipops!

Irene is getting flawless at piped buttercream cakes and this next cake is one of my favorites…

This Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake is a great way to pull off the theme on only a one tier cake; simple, but fun!

This carved flamingo cake was a birthday surprise for a client and they loved it…

I just happen to love this next cake Kyong did…Spongebob and his little krabby cakes and french fries have never looked more cute.

This cake had so much detail and took quite a while to make, but I loved the final product!

And lastly the ever popular Toy Story birthday party, but this time the star of the show was Jessi!

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog and make sure and let us know which cake you liked the best!

More Eye Candy Coming Your Way!

admin — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 06:47:58 +0000

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.

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog! Let us know what cake you liked the best!
