Carissa’s Space Invader Baby Shower

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

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.

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.

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.

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 :)

IMG_8608

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

IMG_8568

IMG_8572

IMG_8573

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!

IMG_8602

IMG_8603

IMG_8604

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!

IMG_8594

IMG_8597

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

IMG_8546

IMG_8617

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!

IMG_8706

IMG_8709

IMG_8708

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

IMG_8702

IMG_8710

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!

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! Here are some recent cakes…first up a baptism cake that we designed after the little girl’s dress.  This was a really time intensive cake, but I loved the end result!

Lots of Specialty Cakes

Sunday, August 15th, 2010

Get ready to be bombarded with LOTS of cakes!  Since hiring Kyong on full time we have had an opportunity to take on a lot more cakes and we have had a great time! Everything from chickens to Vegas cakes….if you can dream it, we can make it! First up one of my favorites…our Bun in the Oven Cake!  A client showed up a photo of a cake that the Cake Girls had done a while back, which I had always loved, and so we did our own take on it.

IMG_1473

The couple didn’t know what they were having so we put the last name of the couple on the “bun”…little Baby Zaby will be coming out soon!

This cake was one we did for Lucia of Utterly Engaged.  Her brother & his wife had a baby shower & she got this cake for them. It matched the adorable invitation she designed.

This next cake was a unique groom’s cake we did this last weekend.  I don’t know all the symbolism to it, but I think it’s great that the bride had us incorporate so many fun, corky details to the cake that mean something to both of them.

Celebration Cakes!

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Here’s another fun filled post with photos of some recent celebration cakes we’ve done.  We absolutely love making baby shower cakes!  Both clients wanted somewhat elegant/modern cakes, but still with a fun baby theme!

IMG_9391.JPG

IMG_9390.JPG

The second cake was actually made for some family friends of ours and we are so happy for them as they have their first baby girl!

IMG_9415.JPG

IMG_9409.JPG

The last of the celebration cakes was a fun request that we loved making!  One of our clients wanted to surprise his wife with an 80’s themed cake for her birthday and so we ran with it!  Kyong, one of my new assistants made all the decorations for this cake and she definitely hit it spot on!
