Day Care Graduation

Graduation day, not only for seniors but also for kids who are going to the "big house", so to speak. This is a vanilla cake with buttercream icing covered with our fluff and also all the decorations are made from fluff. Serves about 64. Congratulations Class of 2012!

Tie-dye Celebration

Boy what a pop of color! It's so vibrant! We loved doing this cake especially for our very own Tabitha. She is a crack-up! She is so humorous and happy all the time. We love her personality.( I digress) This is a vanilla cake with buttercream icing and covered with our fluff and serves 150 people. I know the sixty something kids she teaches at her after-school program are delighted to have her. Thanks Tab, we love you very much!

Hot Wheels Battle Force 5

Eli knew exactly what he wanted for his birthday, right down to the cake! That's what I like. He wanted the Hot Wheels logo with the Battle Force 5 motorcycle right under it. He was very detailed, and that made my job a lot easier. This is a white cake with vanilla buttercream icing with all details in buttercream icing. It serves about 35-40 people. Happy birthday, Eli! I hope it's exactly like you pictured it.

Handy Man

A handyman shower is a great idea for any guy or couple who is about to be married. He gets neat and useful tools and gadgets, and the bride-to-be gets free labor for life! (If he is, in fact, handy. If not, at least she can watch him pretend, right?)
This is a two layer white cake with vanilla buttercream icing. All the tools are made of Fluff. The cake serves about 40-45 people. We wish the couple many years of happiness!

Monster High Cake

I'll be the first to admit it... I had no idea what Monster High was when this cake was requested. I live a life filled with two little boys, and aside from the occasional show or two my neices mention, I really am clueless to girl shows. However, when I was researching the show, I thought the colors and designs were all so cute! They manage to make a skull and stitches adorable!

The cake is two tiers, each with two layers of white cake filled and iced with vanilla buttercream, and covered with dark charcoal Fluff. All decorations, aside from the white piping on the bottom tier, are made from Fluff. The piping is of course, vanilla buttercream. The cake serves about 40 people. Happy birthday, Sydney, and thanks for the introduction to Monster High.

Tie-Dyed Peace Sign Cake & Cupcakes

Peace signs are so popular in our area! We've had lots of requests for them, and we try to keep each cake different from the next. We've only had one other request for a tie-dye cake, so we tried a new pattern and different colors on this one. The combination of the peace sign and tie-dye made for a unique and very cute cake. The cake is two layers of cake, one of white cake and one of dark chocolate cake, filled and iced with vanilla buttercream, and covered with white Fluff. The cake was then hand-painted with the tie-dye design and topped with a white peace sign cut out of Fluff. The writing was piped with buttercream.
This special little one (she'd correct me if she knew I referred to her as "little one"), now a big eight-year-old, had some friends stay over the night before her party, and of course they needed something for that night, as well. One dozen cupcakes, a mixture of white and dark chocolate cake, were iced with lavender and yellow vanilla buttercream, and topped with sugar sparkles to mimic the tie-dye pattern on the cake.
The cake fed about 40, and of course the cupcakes fed 12. We had a ball making this cake for Maggie, and can't wait to see what design she comes up with for her next birthday. Happy 8th birthday, Maggie. Holly and Aunt Z love you very much!

Spongebob Squarepants

Spongebob Squarepants...what else can be said! Kinley's eyes just lit up when she saw her cake. This is a vanilla cake with buttercream icing and serves about 48 people. Happy Birthday Kinley!!

Dirt Bike Tire Cake

The boys birthday party theme this year was dirt bikes. So...what do we do for the cake. We didn't feel like we had time for an elaborate cake since the week was taken up with baseball practice, a baseball game, and getting ready for all the family to come in for the weekend to also celebrate Easter after the birthday party. 

A dirt bike tire cake would do the trick.   This cake and the cupcakes are dark chocolate fudge iced with buttercream icing To make the treads we placed  marshmellows on the  sides of the cake and covered it with our "fluff" dyed black. The numbers 3 and 8 are also from our  "fluff".  This cake and 4 1/2 dozen cupcakes served  about 70 people. Happy Birthday Ian and Tucker! We love you both bunches!!!

Leap Year Birthday - 17th & 68th

Happy Birthday to one of my big sisters who was born in February(which is a great month by the way), on leap year. So technically Muriel is 17 by the leap year calendar and 68 by the regular calendar. Her kids surprised her with a little gathering to help celebrate. These cakes are two layer cakes, one layer of chocolate and one vanilla. They are iced with buttercream and covered with our "fluff". The bows and tags are from our modeling chocolate and serves about 140. Love my big sis!!!

Big T and Sports

Big T is your typical little boy who enjoys all things sports. So Nanny found this cake on a web site and he fell for it. Three tiers with two layers each of vanilla cake and buttercream icing filled our need for something sweet at his party. The middle tier, football, is iced with chocolate buttercream which is awesome. The decorations are from our modeling chocolate. He's growing up and who knows what he'll be into next year. Cowboys and a western theme wouldn't surprise me since his daddy is farming now. Whatever he chooses, we will do our best to give him what he wants. Happy Birthday Big "T"! We love you!

Alabama #1 - Will #8

Will is such an Alabama fan that celebrating with an Alabama cake was a must. This is a yellow cake with buttercream icing, the stripes, "A's", and tear pieces are made from our modeling chocolate and the football is rice krispie treats covered with modeling chocolate. This serves 40. Happy 8th birthday, Will!

Peace, McKenzie!

Two layers of vanilla cake with buttercream icing helped to make this birthday girl happy. The peace sign is made from our modeling chocolate and the cake serves 25. The cake also has buttercream peace signs in various sizes all around the sides of the cake. Thanks Becky and happy birthday McKenzie!

Backyard Fun!

Ah, grandchildren! Well Katie Beth wanted her backyard again this year. She is a unique thinker and has a lot of spirit, which I love about her. She wanted a double-decker chocolate chip cookie with buttercream icing in between. The top was also iced with buttercream icing and all detail work out of modeling chocolate. Well, except for the fountain, which was krispie treats covered with icing and the handles and diving board were the only thing not edible. Okay Katie, can't wait for your ideas next year! Happy Birthday! Love you so, so much!

And we have a winner...

Thanks, guys for playing along with the M&M guesses. It was so fun to see the range of guesses and we were floored with the number of people that put in their guess. Since we didn't actually say whether you could go over the number of M&M's we used or not, we decided to reward both the closest without going over, and the closest that did go just over. We actually used a staggering 2,133 M&M's on Tabitha and Warren's wedding cake, which were all placed on by hand one at a time. So, without stalling any longer, the winners are: Shelia Traweek, with a guess of 2,035, and Millie Miller, with our closest guess of 2,196. Thank you girls, and we'll be in touch! We hope you enjoy the cupcakes!

Sweet 16

This is a two layer vanilla cake with buttercream icing. The decorations are made from our modeling chocolate. This cake serves about 32. Thanks Ginny and Happy Birthday Lexus!
