Ariana is 14!

3"-4"-6"
Ariana gave me free reign over her cake and I was so excited! That doesn't always happen and I'm okay with that. It was just a special treat for me! =) You can't see the top of the cake in the first pic so here is what it looked like. I apologize for the quality and the lighting...I took it with my iPhone.

Madeline's Purple Minnie Mouse Cake


3"-4"-6"
I was so excited when Madeline's mom asked me to do a Minnie Mouse cake with purple instead of the typical pink or red! Purple is my 2nd favorite color next to turquoise. =) I made the little girl out of fondant with tylose powder added to it. I made her tutu with real tulle. =)

Oh and I also have a new logo, as you can see! Yay!

Abraham Turns 1


6"-8"
This was my first time making minions! They were actually quite fun to make. =) Abraham's mom told me how she wanted the cake to look so I made it to her specifications. Turns out she's a pretty good cake designer! I think it would have been cute to put costumes on a couple of minions but since it was my first time making them, I just did them "normal". Haha

Ayvah's Doc McStuffins Cake

6"-8"
Ayvah's mom sent me a few pictures of Doc McStuffin cakes for inspiration. I used them to create this cake. =) I didn't know how good the characters would turn out if I had modeled them by hand so I went ahead and used real toys instead.

Andre Turns 3

4"-6"-8"
This was my first time making a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake and I didn't want to attempt to make the characters! I feel that they need to be pretty exact or else they just look silly and I didn't want that! So I just went with real toy characters. =)

Jacob's Pocoyo Cake

4"-6"
This Pocoyo cake was a new theme for me. I wasn't sure how my characters would turn out but I agreed to make them because they seemed like they wouldn't be TOO complicated. Thank goodness they turned out okay! =)

Zane Turns 6

Happy Birthday Brandy!

 4"-6"-8"
 4"-6"
My sister Brandy flew in from Seattle to visit a couple of weeks before her birthday. We threw a surprise party for her to celebrate her birthday while she was in town. She knew that I was going to be making a cake for her but she didn't know about the party. So the little 2 tier cake was made as a decoy and the real party cake was hiding at my mom's best friend's house until the party. =) The inspiration for the beach cake came from a cake by Little Cake Cupboard.

Baby K

4"-6"-8"
My customer sent me a pic of a cake to replicate. It was a two tier cake and the pic was a low resolution and it blurred when I zoomed in to see the details on the bunting flags. So I googled to find a larger image of the cake and I discovered that the originator of this cake was someone from Chef Duff's staff at Charm City Cakes! The cake was originally designed based on a party invitation for a little girl's birthday. Her cake and party was featured on the Hostess With The Mostess blog. You can see it here.
This cake that I made was for a baby shower welcoming a little boy. =)

Mia Turns 1

Mia's dad sent me a picture of a cake that they wanted made for Mia's 1st birthday and this is what it looked like. =)

Bridal Shower Cake

6"-8"
This cake was made for a lingerie bridal shower. =)

Baby Boy

4"-6"
This cake was made to match the baby shower invitation. The cake was really cute in person, but for some reason, it didn't photograph well at all. So the "best" pic that I have of it is this less than desirable iPhone pic. The recipients were thrilled with it so that's all that matters! =)

Baby Madeleine

8"-10"
I made this cake a couple of months ago and I just realized that I never posted it on here! I don't know how I missed it! Anyway, the request was for a cake similar to a Valentine's Day cake that I made for my family a couple of years ago but to change the colors and make it look like a baby shower cake. So this is what I came up with! You can see the cake that she wanted me to use for inspiration here. The Valentine's cake was the first open lid gift box cake that I had made and it had waaaaaay too much "tissue paper" on it! So I toned it way down for this cake and I liked it much better. =)

Tiny Cakes for Brooke & Chance


These cakes are both 3"-4". I call them my "super minis" since I have two other cake sizes that I call minis as well. They were made as a surprise for my mom's best friend's daughter and grandson for their birthdays. Here is a size comparison picture so you can see how small they are.

My teeny tiny little ducky...
And her is the handsome Mr. Chance with his cake...=)
