Rachel's Bridal Shower

Rachel is like a sister to me. She is getting married ... yeah! My sister threw her bridal shower and asked me to make her cake. It was my favorite flavor combo - vanilla cake with lemon filling & was super yummy - and pretty too. I handmade all of the flowers with gumpaste. That chevron pattern is super difficult to cut and get on the cake ... plus she wanted it gold. But, it came out.




40th Anniversary

My parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. I made a smaller version of their wedding cake to help celebrate.

Whoooo's 4th Birthday is it?

My niece had an owl themed birthday party. I made the cake using a 3d care bears cake pan & then modified. It turned out super cute! Happy Birthday - you're a hoot :)

Wedding things....

Been busy the last month or so with wedding related cakes.

First a 40th anniversary cake.

I did a cake for a friend's bridal shower to match the invitation.

Then the following week did another friends wedding cake. My first wedding cake, but so much fun! She let me have free reign on what I wanted to do. The wedding was at a ranch and not traditional. They did an ice cream sundae bar for the guests, so the cake was just for the two of them to cut. I did an ombre ruffle cake - to match the ruffle detail on her dress. A lot of the decor was burlap, so I incorporated that in the cake topper.









Beach Party

My niece celebrated her birthday at the aquarium and beach. Her beach themed cake turned out perfect for the occasion. Happy Birthday Kenna!

My little princess birthday



Of course I always plan extra special cakes for my kids birthday's. This year my daughter requested a princess party. So, of course we needed an edible purple castle to go along with the party. All started out well .. but this cake turned out to be a nightmare. Long story short .. it ended up falling in on the bottom layer, so our 3 story castle became 2 & it wasn't anywhere near perfect ... but it still tasted yummy & the girls still thought it was amazing - especially my little birthday princess (so that's all that really matters). Lesson learned ... don't place the cake (without supports) temporarily when it's hot - it will get stuck. . .

Oh and the super cute princess dress cupcake where a must as well! They were the perfect size for the girls.
