Happy Birthday Abby!

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

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!

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!

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!

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

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

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!
