Fun Kid’s Cakes

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

We have lots of fun kids cakes to share with you today!  Kyong gets to do most of the kid’s cakes around the bakery and I think she does a fantastic job!  First up the adorable ladybug cake for a little girl’s 1st birthday party!

These cute and funny hippos were actually the main attration for a groom’s cake we did for a recent wedding.  I guess the bride and groom call each other hippos and so they wanted a fun cake to celebrate that!

Kid’s Cakes

Monday, March 7th, 2011

Well us ladies at Sweet & Saucy Shop don’t only do wedding cakes we also get the chance to make lots of fun kid’s cakes!  Below are some of the recent ones we’ve done…enjoy!

For this fun Toy Story themed cake, Irene did a great job of buttercreaming & piping on this cake, which is quite task if you’ve ever tried and Kyong made the adorable fondant details!

One of my Dad’s employee’s wanted a NY Yankee themed cake for their little boy’s birthday and I have to say Kyong hit it out of the park :)

For this next princess castle cake I piped lots of pretty vines and added mini sugar flowers to make it whimsical and girlie.

This next cake is such a fun one…Kyong designed it and this time around the cake was for a little boy, so of course the ducky needed a little mohawk!

If you want bling, sparkle, and glitz this is the Sweet Sixteen cake for you!

For this cake the client sent us in a photo of this baby carriage that was actually painted on her pregnant belly and wanted to replicate the same painting in cake form, so this is what we came up with!

I just have to say that sugar pinwheels make everything cuter…

We don’t make lots of topsy turvy cakes at the bakery, but for this 1st birthday we pulled out all the stops and I think it turned out adorable.  The client wanted to pull in her daughter’s initial “R” into the theme of the cake and Kyong came up with this great design!

We also made handpainted sugar cookies and a mini smash cake that matched as well…to cute huh!

Lastly we had the fun opportunity to make a Rapunzel cake based of the movie Tangled and so we thought it would be fun to do the tower that Rapuzel lived in with her locks of hair flowing down.  I have to say it was quite a tediously process when I made all the stone wall effect and piped the vines and flowers, but overall I was really happy with it!

Courtney’s Camping Baby Shower

Monday, February 28th, 2011

I am so happy and excited to share this next baby shower with you!  I had the chance along with some of my best girlfriends, Jesi from Jesi Haack Wedding, Carissa from JL Designs, Elizabeth & Karrie from Posh Paperie, and Carlie from Gabriel Ryan Photography to throw a baby shower for the fabulous Courtney, from Joyful Weddings & Events.

The theme for this adorable shower was camping and I have to say that I loved how it turned out!

Kristin’s Baby Shower

Friday, February 18th, 2011

I know I have been featuring LOTS of baby showers lately, but the truth is that I have lots of pregnant friends right now…I guess it’s that time!  I love the look of this shower that Angel Swanson, of Love and Splendor, put together for our friend Kristin, of Petal and Thorn.  The earthy, woodsy feel is so gorgeous looking and perfect for a fall time baby shower.

Little Boys & Bow Ties!

Sunday, February 6th, 2011

This post is definitely special to my heart! I had the pleasure along with Carissa of JL Designs & Courtney of Joyful Weddings & Events, of throwing one of my best girlfriends Jesi, from Jesi Haack Weddings a little baby shower to celebrate the birth of her adorable little son Maverick.  Jesi has been such a blessing in my life and I loved being about to give back to her just a little.  The theme that Courtney came up with was “Bow ties” and I have to say I was smitten with it from the start.

The talented ladies, Karrie & Elizabeth, from Posh Paperie created the cutest invitations and paper pieces for the party.  Of course I have to say a HUGE thank you to Carlie, of Gabriel Ryan Photography for the fabulous photos…they are just perfect!

A fun little side not about the shower is that it was actually held at my new house I bought last year.  Carissa did a beautiful job with the flowers & Courtney’s little accents along the way were so much fun.

As this year comes to a close I look back on some of the cakes that we’ve made at the bakery and we have had quite the fun requests!
