Crazy Cakes Part 2

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011

Recently Kyong and I had the chance to make a fun Toy Story themed cake.  Now this was not your typical cake, but instead the client wanted a GIANT Woody Doll cake.  It was a lot of work, but definitely worth it in the end…

And here is a fun sneak peak of what the cake looked like before we decorated it :)

Groom’s cakes are very popular these days and this next one was quite the challenge!  The bride said her future husband loved the Transformer’s and so she wanted to surprise him with a giant Transformer.  This cake took Kyong and I quite a long time to make, but we finished it & thankfully it was delivered safe & sound!

You never know what kind of crazy requests you are going to get when you own a bakery and this next cake was definitely up there in the interesting cake category!  The bride said her future husband LOVED Elvis and specially “fat” Elvis, so that is what we gave her!

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.

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.

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.

Crazy Detailed Cakes

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

Sometimes when people call us to order a cake it is for a simple, basic designed cake and then other times we talk with clients who want over the top cakes with tons of detail and lots of their personality in it….these are definitely those types of cakes!

First up this is one of the largest celebration cakes we’ve ever done.  We made this crazy, fun Bat Mitzvah cake for the sweetest girl Abby who actually saw us on TLC’s Fabulous Cakes.  We had a ton of fun incorporating all of her favorite things into this one cake!

This next cake was for a client who wanted to mimic the golf setting that her husband plays golf at…it was a very interesting concept for a tiered style cake, but Kyong did a great job!

Gotta love the groom’s cakes!  This bride wanted a cake that symbolized her husbands favorite pastime…FOOTBALL of course! And when football is your favorite sport that means a lot of couch time together :)
