Fun Birthday Cakes!

One of the best things about my job is getting to help make someone's birthday extra special with an awesome birthday cake! Over the last couple of weeks, I got to do just that with these three fun cakes. Each one was over-the-top and very personalized for the birthday boy or girl. 

This first one was for a surprise 50th birthday party. The daughter of the birthday girl said to make something colorful and whimsical with flair, because her mom has such a fun personality!

The entire cake was Chocolate Fudge with Strawberry Chiffon filling.

This next cake was for a guy who's a comic book fan and a pin ball fan! His birthday party was at a pin ball arcade, so the cake fit in perfectly. I used Iron Man, Spider Man, Captain America, and The Hulk superheros to decorate the machine. There are even little twinkling lights on the cake!! The playing board of the pin ball machine was made out of  German Chocolate cake and the score board of the machine was made of Rice Krispy treats and milk chocolate.

Here's the Birthday Boy "playing" his pin ball machine cake :)

This last cake was for a wine lover who just turned 30! There is a wooden wine crate filled with "wood shavings" (made out of white chocolate) with Morris Vineyards stamped on the side (the birthday girl's last name). The wine has a wienie dog theme (she loves her dachshund!), so the name is "Winer Dog". The circa date is the year she was born. The bottle's label was hand painted. The crate and bottle are sitting on top of a "wood cutting board", along with a cheese wheel and grapes (all made of fondant)! The wine bottle and crate were made of Red Velvet cake and Cream Cheese filling.  I am a wine lover myself, so this was such a fun cake to make!

Happy Birthday Jacinda!

18th Topsy Turvy Birthday Cake!

I had the chance to make an 18th birthday cake for my husband's sweet cousin, Jessica, last month. She's a super fun, sweet, beautiful girl...so I had to make the cake all those things! It's a topsy turvy cake that includes animal print on Tiffany blue, stripes, and polka dots. The bottom tier says Happy 18th Birthday all around the cake and there's a big gold 18 on top of the cake!

Jessica wanted a real Tiffany box for her birthday, so I made some Tiffany box petit fours for her! And, she got that real one she wanted too :)

Happy Easter!!

I hope everyone has a great Easter tomorrow. I hope it's filled with loving family, fluffy bunnies, and lot's of yummy treats! Be joyous, for Jesus has risen from the grave!!

It's Easter time!!!! Right after Christmas, Easter is my all time favorite holiday! Even when I was a kid, the Easter bunny ranked right up there with Santa. What's not to love about Easter?? There are lots of great Easter egg hunts the weeks before the holiday, there are so many great Easter songs to sing, you get to dye eggs pretty colors, you get to pick out a new beautiful spring dress to wear to Sunday church, and there's a huge basket full of candy when you wake up Sunday morning. And, of course, the most important reason for Easter, the celebration of Jesus rising from the grave! 

Every year I have zero will power when it comes to eating Easter candy...I always swear that my teeth are going to fall out sometime during March or April. There are sooo many great candies available this time of year....Peeps, Starburst Jelly Beans, Cadbury Cream Eggs, Cadburry Mini Eggs, Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs, Whoppers Speckled Eggs...the list could seriously keep going!! 

Well, this year I thought I would offer you a chance to order a cake (of course), in the shape of your favorite Easter candy! I made one, just to give you an idea....my absolute favorite candy of all - the yellow Peep! 

You can choose whatever candy you love! It could be a Reese's egg with a bite out of it, a big speckled egg, a chocolate bunny, etc.

And, of course, Easter cookies are available again this year. Here is one style you can choose from, hand-painted bunnes, chicks in eggs, eggs, and carrots. There are many other styles available, from fancy to cute and fun, so just let me know what you prefer!

The cookies make great gift boxes, as well!

I can also make cute Easter decorations for Petit Fours or Cupcakes.

Whether you are having a lunch or dinner party at your house or an Easter egg hunt for the kids....these desserts will make your celebration eggstra special!!!

Please contact me to order your Easter dessert!
