Monkey Cake

This cake is a vanilla cake with buttercream icing and serves about 40 people. Stacey went back and forth from Monkey's to Winnie the Pooh before settling on the Monkey Cake. It turned out so cute! The monkey, bananas, blanket, the # 1, and dots are all made from modeling chocolate. And of course Lake had his own personal "smash cake" to tear into. It all turned out  so cute Stacey! Thanks and Happy Birthday Lake!

Dora's House

We were excited when Cassandra asked us to do a 3-D Dora house with a train for Bridget's 2nd birthday. Where do I start? The train is all cake trimmed in modeling chocolate with laminates of Dora, Boots, and Diego riding in the cars. And of course Swiper is hiding on the porch ready to swipe the #2 candle. The house is vanilla cake with buttercream icing. The roof is rice krispie treats covered in modeling chocolate. The door and the flower pot on the porch were also made of modeling chocolate. The porch is rice krispie treats covered with icing. The cake board is wood, covered with fondant and trimmed with ribbon. The house and train cars were about 75-80 servings of cake, and the roof and porch had about 40 servings of rice krispie treats. We absolutely loved the way this turned out. Cassandra, thanks for your patience while we set up the cake. Happy Birthday Bridget!

Spring Flowers

Our friend Crystal asked us to do a cake for her grandmothers 80th birthday celebration. We decided to let red roses be the focal point and surround them with colorful spring flowers. All the flowers were made of our modeling chocolate and dusted with gold and pearl luster dust to give them a special touch and the top is decorated with cornelli lace technique. The cake is a vanilla cake with buttercream icing  and serves 54 people. Thank you Crystal for letting us share this special occassion with you. Hope she loves it!

Super Mario and Wii Remotes

Super Mario and Wii Remotes is something we know alot about.We were really thrilled when we were asked to do these. The remotes are made from a rectangle chocolate chip cookie which was cut in half and iced with buttercream icing. We used royal icing and fondant to accent the controls. It serves about 20 people. The Super Mario was a vanilla cake with buttercream icing and modeling chocolate for his hair and gloves and buttons, it serves about 54 people. Thanks Stephanie and Happy Birthday Daniel!

Butterflies, Butterflies, Butterflies!!

We did a flower/butterfly cake for Brooke last year for her 6th birthday, and she fell in love with the little butterflies on her cake, so we suggested a cake covered in butterflies for her 7th, and it was a hit! This cake feeds 28 and is a vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream, and is completely covered in about 65 handmade butterflies made from our modeling chocolate. The message written on the cake board is written in pink royal icing, and even has a few smaller pink butterflies fluttering around. Happy birthday, Brooke. You're growing up so fast!

Ladybug 1st Birthday



This ladybug-themed cake is so cute for a little girl's 1st birthday. Both cakes are vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream icing, and are topped off with decorations made from our modeling chocolate. Actually, everything black is modeling chocolate, along with the small, pink ladybugs on the larger cake. The larger cake feeds about 20-25, and the ladybug is Rylee's very own smash cake. We hope this was a hit! Thanks, Andrea, for allowing us to be a part of Rylee's first birthday.
