It's always fun working with friends! I designed this wedding cake for a friend from High school, Alicia Perry! She is now the new Mrs. Beaver! Congrats Alicia & Ryan! I especially LOVE the gold details.  We did a simple white base color with very subtle gold shimmer scroll work and then a very metallic gold fondant ribbon around the base of each tier. The florist also placed red roses all over the cake. It turned out beautiful!

Who doesn't love a good challenge.....................I know I do! My husband's boss was celebrating his 50th birthday so his wife emailed me and asked if I could replicate at 1948 red Ford Coupe Car! I was a little hesitant to say yes, but my hubby encouraged me to do it. One thing is for sure, I couldn't have done it without his help. He is in the architecture field so he used his amazing skills to carve this cake into a car. He did amazing. I then covered the cake with fondant and and added fondant details! I love how it turned out.

 This cake turned out sooo cute! I love working on 'themed' cakes.........it makes for a fun, satisfying challenge! I made the 'Dorothy' shoes out of gumpaste and adorned them with red cake sparkles.  And you just can't have a Wizard of Oz cake without a yellow brick road.  What's extra special about  this cake, that you can't see, is that the inside is rainbow colored cake.  There are four layers of cake within each tier, and each are a different color of the rainbow: red, yellow, green and blue! I wish I could cut into the cake to see how it looks, but I guess I will just have to wait for a picture ;)

I had the privilege of working with my of my favorite customers, Hannah Sultemeier! Hannah was hosting a guy-girl wedding shower for some dear friends of hers. So we wanted to merge the two genders in this cake! The bottom half of the cake is detailed in a masculine plaid pattern and the top half screams 'girl' with a fun floral motif! I hope the bride & groom liked the cake!

I love fall weddings! Fall colors are always so warm and inviting and I love incorporating them on cakes. The bride's colors were burnt orange and chocolate brown, with pops of gold. We did a simple ribbon of burnt orange fondant coupled with a chocolate brown rope of fondant around the base of each tier. And we finished the cake off with Gerber Daisies placed sporadically on each tier. Congrats Lauren & Monty!

Happy Birthday Molly!!!! I was so excited to come up with a design for my little sister's birthday cake! Molly is a very fun, stylish girl so I wanted to do something that was fun and funky but still classy.  She said her favorite part of the cake was the zebra inspired flower, which was placed on the bottom left of the cake.  Happy 23rd B-day Mol-Mol.

I made this cake for one of my very best friends, Alexis! She celebrated her 26th b-day! I have known Alexis since I was 8 years old.......we've seen each other through all stages of life and through life's ups and downs.  I saw this cake in a book and thought it had Alexis' name written all over it. Alexis is the most fun loving and energetic person I know, so I thought this fun cake fit her personality like a glove! She is the best friend a girl could ask for! I love her dearly!
