Burning Building Fireman Cake

admin — Sun, 20 Mar 2011 15:34:04 +0000

I have been waiting to blog this cake for so long! Well really about a week or so. Lisa and I made this cake for Captain Bryant Tillery of the Dallas Fire Department who retired after 47 1/2 years of service. We spent a lot of time on the details and just loved every bit of it. Our favorite part you ask? The dry ice we used to look like smoke. and the fire engines. and the building. and well everything! We wish you the best of luck on your retirement and thanks for the opportunity to make such an awesome cake!

Dallas Stars Cake

Okay Hockey fans! I normally get super excited over Dallas Cowboys cakes, obviously , but I was stoked to make this Dallas Stars one because they are pretty awesome and I was dying to make a Hockey player character. Everything on top is sculpted out of fondant and Lisa made the coolest Dallas Stars logo with fondant as well. The birthday boy was turning 31 so we made that the jersey number with his name on the back.

Rock n’ Roll Cake

I am sure you have noticed that we really love to sculpt! It was so much fun making all these band pieces for this cake and it just made us SO happy looking at it when it was done. I mean what six year old wouldn’t love this cake? Happy Birthday Bo, I hope it totally Rocked!

Grease Cake

We are HUGE Grease fans, seriously, we were watching this movie way before an appropriate age singing all the songs and totally wishing we were Sandy and hopelessly devoted. In the end we learned you should never change yourself for someone else so of course it is a classic. When this cake was ordered I was literally squealing on the other end of the phone, I knew right away what I wanted to do. We loved having the good cheerleader with the bad boy and making these characters was so much fun. It was also the first time we got to use our edible printer to make the Report Card Birthday sign which turned out so cute. And yes, it is totally edible! So thank you Michelle for ordering this cake and making our day!

Blue Ruffle Flower Cake

This cake was a lot of fun to make and very different for me. A friend of mine was having a birthday party and I wanted to take advantage of opportunity to do something new. Lisa and I brainstormed some fun ideas on how we can make a more vintage looking cake. In the end we just stared at it for an hour and just started making ruffles, flowers, and pearls. I love how it turned out, I love that it is different for me and I can’t wait for us to do more like it.

Lady Bug Cake

I just adore this cake! It was simple, clean and slightly modern for this Nine year olds birthday. It was so much fun to make and Lisa and I couldn’t wait to deliver it to the birthday girl. Best part, the lady bug is made of cereal treats. I was attempting a white background for these pictures to do something different, yeah I’m not gonna do that anymore. But, the cake still looks cute!

Sweet Valentine’s Day Treats

admin — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 22:47:27 +0000

I love Valentine’s Day, mostly because I get to make some super cute goodies! Lisa and I have been having so much fun creating these delicious cookies, cupcakes, and brownie pops. I LOVE the purple we chose for the first order and we made some goodie boxes with our other cookies for some teachers at Wolford Elementary. We have been busy busy over here but I just had to share these with you all while love day was still on our minds. Doesn’t this post look great on my site

Sleep Over Cake

admin — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 00:46:14 +0000

I love this cake! I love the details and all the small stuff Lisa and I sculpted for the top. I am also a huge fan of peace signs so I was stoked when I heard the theme of this sleep over party. I could go on and on but you can see for your self why this is one of my favorites. Cakes are really hard to part with sometimes because you spend days putting it together and you know you won’t see it again. But this mom saved all the stuff on top and that made me feel better

Pink 50th Birthday Cake and Two Is Better Than One

admin — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 16:31:09 +0000

I have been making cakes for the past two years and have dreamed all along to find someone to help me. I can spend up to 20 man hours on a cake and as much as I LOVE what I do the thought of someone else doing part of the work and helping me design would be pure bliss. And today I want to tell you all that my dream has come true! I have been incredibly fortunate to partner up with Lisa Knopp. She is a very talented artist who has begun using cakes as her creative outlet. We have joined forces and will be working together from now on on all our orders, so exciting!

Our first cake we did together was for a local author here in Dallas. She was having a 50th birthday party and in in love with pink. She wanted us to use the cover of her book as inspiration and this is what we came up with. And her book has been bought by ABC for a show by the same people who made Sex in The City! Craziness. You can see her book HERE.
