Baby Shower cake for Helen

2011-01-28T14:58:00.000-08:00

The bird nest on top was a suggestion from one of the shower hostesses and was made of toasted coconut and the egg was fondant.

The shower was absolutely beautiful; Michelle and Papar, you did the best job! Thank you for asking me to do the cake.

If you're on my facebook page, you can see a picture that Michelle posted of the cake at the shower with the matching decorations. It looked so pretty.

2011-01-28T14:38:00.000-08:00

They can be dipped in traditional chocolate, white chocolate, vanilla/almond, chocolate mint and white mint. There are many, many design/decor options, too.

They were individually bagged and I added the gift tag.

Thanks for ordering with me again, Katherine!

Deer Park Tigers and Starlights

2010-09-07T14:18:00.000-07:00

My husband is a football coach for the Deer Park Tigers in his spare time (it's a little league football team). Last weekend was their first game and the drill team/cheerleaders, the Starlights, held a pep rally for the boys. To thank the girls, the Tigers wanted to give them something special and sweet. So I baked and decorated 74 big sugar cookies, they measured 5 inches by 3 inches.

Then Saturday after the football game, Coach Jake gave his players and coaches these helmet sugar cookies customized with the boys' numbers (32 total).

Baby Shower Cake for Addison

2010-09-07T14:10:00.000-07:00

Anyway, she wanted the cake to match the baby's nursery bedding:

I did a double-layer, 10" classic white cake with buttercream and chocolate fondant on the sides. I'm really happy how this cake turned out and it is one of my favorite cakes I've done to date.

I was so excited that I got to do Abby's birthday cake again this year. The theme for her 3rd birthday party was an "Under the Sea" pool party. Her cake was stacked; the top tier was a double layer, 6-inch round chocolate cake with buttercream icing and the bottom tier was a double layer, 10-inch round white cake with buttercream icing. Most of the coral decorations were made with fondant.

Thanks for inviting us to the party, Amber, and asking me to do this fun cake for Abby!

60th Birthday Celebration

2010-08-10T20:10:00.000-07:00

This was a cake I did for an old high school friend of mine, who's mom was turning 60 last weekend. This was a double layer, 12-inch round Italian Cream Cake, complete with toasted coconut, chopped pecans and a yummy, yummy homemade cream cheese icing. I don't make these cakes very often but they're one of my most favorite.

Thanks for letting me do this cake for you, Cody!

Happy 1st Birthday Jenna!

2010-08-10T20:02:00.001-07:00

This was the first time I'd used my giant cupcake mold and I was really nervous. The theme of Jenna's party was Sweet Shoppe by Chickabug (cute, cute, cute party printables). I did the giant cupcake in chocolate with buttercream. The beautiful platter belonged to Jenna's mom; isn't it gorgeous? I also did a small 5-inch round chocolate smash cake for the birthday girl.

Thanks for asking me to do another cake for you, Marybeth. Jenna's party looked absolutely beautiful!

Happy Birthday Jared!

2010-07-17T08:41:00.000-07:00

This is turning out to be a popular cake with the boys! Here's the sports cake again, double-layer, 10" square cake, half chocolate and half yellow with buttercream icing.

For those interested, I can do different sports balls on this cake, you're not confined to football, baseball and basketball.

Thanks for your order Stephanie. I hope Jared enjoyed his cake!

July 4th and Baking Contest!

2010-07-17T08:27:00.000-07:00

I didn't have any cakes due the week of the 4th so I had some time to myself in the kitchen. Our neighborhood always has a big 4th of July party and a baking contest. Last year my cakeballs won so naturally I wanted to enter again!

Here's what I came up with and I won 1st prize!!

40th Anniversary Cake

2010-07-06T10:29:00.000-07:00

My wonderful parents just celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary last weekend and I wanted to give them a special little cake just for them. This was a 6-inch, double-layer, classic white cake with strawberry filling and buttercream icing. According to Google, the 40th anniversary is the ruby red anniversary so that explains the strawberry and red accents.

They never read this blog but I'll wish them a very happy anniversary anyway!

Baby Shower Cake

2010-07-06T10:18:00.001-07:00

This is another invitation inspired baby shower cake. It was a classic white, double-layer, 8-inch square cake with buttercream icing (with the exception of the dark brown, which was chocolate icing).

Thanks for asking me to do this cake for you, Sarah! Love you!

Happy Birthday Tanner!

2010-07-06T10:09:00.000-07:00

We had another sports party for a 10th birthday a few weekend ago. Tanner got this double-layer, quarter sheet cake half chocolate and half classic white with buttercream icing.

Thanks again D'Ann for keeping me busy!!

Happy 7th Birthday Tate!

2010-07-06T10:03:00.000-07:00

Decorating this cake reminded me that I've been doing this for a year now.....wow, time has flown by! A year ago I made my 2nd entry in this blog for my nephew, Tate's 6th birthday party. And here I am posting a picture of Tate's 7th birthday cake.

My sister-in-law made the cake, which was a chocolate chip cookie cake, and I decorated it how Tate wanted (his party was at a roller skating rink).

Congratulations to Jordan!

2010-06-10T12:56:00.000-07:00

Jordan graduated from high school last weekend and her mom wanted her to have an awesome cake. She sent me a sample picture (you know I love copying cakes!) and I went to town. The top layer was a double layer, 8" round white cake with pineapple filling and buttercream icing. The bottom layer was a double layer, 12" round white cake with buttercream filling and icing. The accents were all fondant.

I'm so glad the cake was a hit, Stephanie. Thanks again for ordering with me!!

Happy 9th Birthday Cole!

2010-06-10T12:52:00.001-07:00

My oldest nephew, Cole, turned 9 last week and he wanted a baseball birthday cake. This was a double layer, 10" square cake, half chocolate and half white cake with buttercream icing.

Happy Birthday Cole-man, I can't believe you're getting so old! Love you!

5th Anniversary cake

2010-06-10T12:47:00.000-07:00

For this cake, I was asked to make a replica of the couple's wedding cake top tier to celebrate their 5th anniversary. It was a double layer, 6" round white cake with buttercream icing and a fondant plaque. I think it turned out great!

Thanks for letting me do this cake for you, Neera!!

Happy Birthday Lane!

2010-05-29T12:50:00.000-07:00

I received this cake order Lane's mom after she had some of my cakeballs at a school birthday celebration. Lane turned 5 last weekend and had a Batman themed party. This was another double-layer 10" square cake, one layer white and one layer chocolate, with buttercream icing.

Thanks so much for your order Marybeth! I hope you all enjoyed the cake!

Happy Birthday Blaine!

2010-05-29T12:46:00.000-07:00

This was a birthday cake for Blaine's 10th birthday. Obviously, his party was sports themed. I did a double-layer 10" square cake, half white and half chocolate, with buttercream icing.

Thanks Janet for your order. I hope Blaine enjoyed his cake!!

Congratulations to Ryan!

2010-05-29T12:40:00.000-07:00

A very close friend of ours, Ryan, graduated from High School last weekend and his mom asked me to make the cake for his reception. It was supposed to serve 60 people but I went a little overboard with the size and they had some major leftovers (sorry!). This was a 12" circle and 8" circle, both double layer, white cake with buttercream icing. The 12" had strawberry filling and the 8" had buttercream filling. Also, the graduation cap on top is white cake covered in black fondant.

Ryan, good luck at Texas Tech and congratulations on your graduation!!

Happy Birthday Kaylee!

2010-05-15T09:35:00.001-07:00

Kaylee is having her 12th birthday party today and her mom (who is probably my best customer!) asked me to do her cake. This is a double layer, 10-inch square cake half white and half chocolate with buttercream icing and fondant accents.

Thanks again Kayla for ordering with me!!

Happy 1st Birthday Jace!

2010-05-15T09:29:00.000-07:00

I did this cake for a super cute little man named Jace who turned a year old two weeks ago. The theme of his party was "Lil Prince". The both cakes were classic white with buttercream icing. The large cake is a 10-inch square double layer and the smash cake is a 5-inch round single layer.

There was also an order of lemon and strawberry cakeballs to match but I forgot to take a picture of them.

Thanks so much for ordering with me Jeanna!!

Fairmont Jr. High 8th Grade Dance - After Party

2010-05-15T09:26:00.001-07:00

Last weekend was the Fairmont Jr. High 8th grade dance and our good friends, the Brocks, were hosting a group of the kids afterward at their house and needed a cake. This is a half-sheet cake, half white and half chocoalte, with buttercream icing with fondant accents. The theme of the dance was "Hollywood".

Thanks again Kayla, I appreciate your business!!

Happy Birthday Dana!

2010-05-04T11:52:00.000-07:00

My friend, Michelle, had a last minute request for cakeballs for her friend, Dana's, 29th birthday. Luckily, since I was already working on a big order for my brother and sister-in-law's annual crawfish boil, I was able to get it done. She went with 2 dozen red velvet, lemon and strawberry cakeballs.

Check out my fan page on Facebook to see the super cute display tray Michelle made for the party!

new menu item - chocolate covered Oreos!

2010-04-28T12:13:00.000-07:00

I love chocolate. I mean, I really really love chocolate. So I had the urge to start making these because I figured if I like them, someone else is sure to like them also.

These were packaged for a baby shower I helped out with last weekend. I want to eat one just looking at the pictures. :)
