Individual Graduation Cakes

We met Cher (who has the MOST FABULOUS home by the way) at the Girls Night Out event back in April.  She had asked if we could make her some of the same cakes we displayed at the event,  for her daughter's upcoming college graduation party.  These are banana cake with our Jack Danie's cream cheese frosting.

Never did we anticipate the little cakes we made for the Girls Night Out party would be so popular!

Movie Night Themed Brithday Party

Happy 8th Birthday to my son Jake!

Being 8 years old, one of his favorite things are movies. Ask for a movie party and you shall receive!

My friend Shannon from SCRAP LIFT IT made these custom Movie Night invitations for me. Shannon is SO FABULOUS... I just told her my theme and she made 8 of these for me!

She has made all my kids' invites over the years, and she'll make some for you too! Email her over at luckygirl1207@hotmail.com and get your order started!

I designed Jake's entire party around her custom invitations....

These are the goodie bags I sent home with the kids. Edible image cookies! I chose three of Jake's favorite movies : Indiana Jones, Star Wars and Mall Cop. There is one of each cookie in the bags.

I wonder if these will make it all the way home?

Happy Birthday Buddy!

Littlest Pet Shop Birthday Cake & Goodies!

Little Miss Lindsey turned 8 years old this afternoon! 

Since her mom and I are friends, I offered to make Lindsey any kind of cake she wanted for her birthday, and as you can tell... she chose Littlest Pet Shop as her theme.

Her mother had decided against traditional "goodie bags" so I made 20 little kids 20 cupcakes and 20 cookies to take home with them!

I bought some 24 ounce cups and lids and used those as the to-go containers for the cupcakes.  Believe it or not, this is THE BEST WAY to take a cupcake to go.  There's a little lip in the bottom of the lid that keeps the cupcake from knocking around.

Yeah.... these didn't make it all the way home.  The kids ate them immediately.

Fairy Cake

This cake was made for a little girl named Fiona.  Isn't that just the cutest name?

Her mother specifically wanted a cake to be designed with Cicely Mary Barker's flower fairies.  If you look close, you can see them hanging out under their flowers on top of the cake.

Superman Cake

This cake belonged to one happy little boy!

Off Road Jeep Cake

My friend's wife called me and asked us to make her husband's 30th birthday cake.  She didn't really know exactly what she wanted the cake to look like and told me I could make whatever I wanted.  Then she says "He REALLY likes his Jeep."

I had asked my partner to do a quick drawing of a "Jeep" cake and a few minutes later I called her and told her that I had an idea... why don't we make a mountain scene with a road running up the cake?  She said that was funny, that's exactly what she already drew! 

Great minds think alike!

Girls Night Out Event

We were invited to show off our goodies at one of the largest events in our area, "Girls Night Out".  650 tickets were available and they SOLD OUT  prior the event.

We've added dessert tables as one of the things we offer and here's our very first one. 

Since we were there to promote our business, we designed this table around our company logo. 

Everything on this table is homemade, and although we had reserves, we could barely keep it stocked, things were selling left and right! 

Some of things on the table were:

 white cupcakes with lemon filling

 chocolate cupcakes with raspberry filling

 cake bites - chocolate cake mixed with cream cheese and drizzled with pink chocolate

Parisian macarons with white chocolate ganache filling

wedding cake with a damask print

cookies handmade with our company logo iced on them

homemade marshmallow

carrot cake with orange ginger cream cheese filling

banana cake with Jack Daniels cream cheese filling

red velvet cake with white chocolate cream cheese filling

The event director emailed me this morning and had this to say (!!)

"You guys were a huge hit last night. Everyone was talking about you. I took the banana cake back to my office and had to share it with 5 people. It was amazing! Not only did it look good it tasted incredible. Seriously one of the best cakes I have tasted. Way to go."

We had an absolute fabulous time and the entire event was a great success!

Nursery Rhyme Baby Shower Cake

This cake was ordered for a baby shower with an old fashioned nursery rhyme theme. 

There are edible images around the sides of the cake from the 'Hey Diddle Diddle' nursery rhyme.

SO CUTE!

Loving the expression on Humpty Dumpty's face!!

Abby's 1st Birthday Cake

This cake was for a darling little girl named Abby who turned 1 this week!

True Religion Jeans Birthday Cake

This cake was ordered at the last minute for a 16th birthday.  Her mother couldn't think of a cake design that she wanted, but she did say that her daughter loves designer jeans.

I have to admit, I have several pairs of these jeans, so we knew exactly how to make the tag!

I hope she LOVES it!  You only turn sixteen once.  Wasn't it John Mellencamp that said "Hold on to 16 as long as you can... changes come around real soon, make us women and men." 

So true.

Poker Tournament Cake

We were asked to make any kind of cake we wanted for a Poker Tournament.  We decided on a house of cards cake.  I think it turned out well!

Everything on this cake is edible, including the cards!

Nicole's Birthday Cake

The birthday girl's favorite colors are pink and black!
