Floating Bee Polka Dot Cake


This cake is a birthday cake for a little boy turning 1. It's a double vanilla cake with a whipped chocolate buttercream filling. The customer chose primary polka dots and wanted a floating bee. The polka dots are hand painted onto fondant applied to the cake to make the colors pop. And the bee is made out of fondant. I hope Jonah has a wonderful birthday!

Modern Polka Dot Cupcakes

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything and I am sorry about that. The bakery has been very busy with all of our Thanksgiving orders. But we are still doing other orders as well, such as these Modern Polka Dot Cupcakes. They looked too cute not to post.

These are called "modern polka dot" cupcakes. They are a modern polka dot design instead of a classic polka dot (does not have any holes in the polka dot circles). These cupcakes were for a special little girl's birthday. She picked out her favorite colors and we used those colors as the polka dot colors. They are the double vanilla cupcake with a whipped chocolate buttercream. The whipped chocolate buttercream has double the amount of chocolate that the recipe usually has. This was to give it a darker color so that the polka dots really poped.

Thanksgiving

Over the next two weeks we will be focusing solely on our orders for Thanksgiving. Please get your orders in as soon as possible and no later than the 19th. After Thanksgiving we will be showcasing our Christmas treats and will no longer be selling our Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Tarts and Pumpkin Tea Cakes. Sorry there won't be a lot of posts up until Thanksgiving because the bakery will be super busy. Stay tuned for our Christmas treats including a yule log and peppermint mocha cupcakes!

This is a chocolate fudge cake covered in buttercream. Purple ribbon is wrapped at the base of each cake. Overall it's a very simple design. The hydrangeas cascading down the side of the cake create a very elegant feel. This cake was created for a demo at a BECCA'S blue BAKERY table at a local event.

Star Wars Cake



This is a carrot cake with a cream cheese filling covered in fondant. Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker and R2D2 are made out of fondant and completely edible. This cake was a surprise for my customer's husband on his birthday. Together we came up with the top of the cake being a replication of the fight scene between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker. The sides of the cake are airbrushed to look like the galaxy. I hope he has a wonderful birthday-- may the force be with him!

Here's some close up images of the detail on the fondant figurines:

Tinkerbell Cake



This cake was a very special cake for me to make. It was my daughter's 2nd birthday cake. She just adores Tinkerbell so I knew that her cake would be all about Tinkerbell. I wanted it to not only be cute but also incorperate some of the enchantment of the forest where Tinkerbell lives. I made it with my double vanilla cake and a whipped chocolate buttercream. It's covered in fondant. The tree trunk and green forest floor are air brushed with edible coloring. All the extra details are made with fondant. Tinkerbell is a candle but everything else on the cake can be eaten. A magical cake for a magical day.





Floral Cake


This is a carrot cake with a cream cheese filling and is covered in fondant. The flowers surrounding the cake are made out of colored fondant. I stuck to the floral theme but wanted it to be both fun and elegant. I think birthday's should always be fun and I think a cake should represent that. But I didn't want this cake to be only fun. I wanted to incorporate the flowers in an elegant and modern way since this cake was for a customer's mother. I think all mothers deserve a little elegance. I had a lot of fun making this cake and I hope Linda has a wonderful birthday!






Oreo Cupcakes


These are my oreo cupcakes. It's a moist, delicious cupcake with crushed up oreos in the batter to give it that authentic oreo taste. Then I top it off with a vanilla and whipped chocolate buttercream swirl sprinkled with crushed up oreos. It's a heavenly treat! For oreo lovers this cupcake is a must have!

Director's Slate


This is a birthday cake made to look like a director's slate. My customer came up with this awesome idea! It's a carrot cake with a cream cheese filling and has custom wording for the recipient. I think he's going to have a great birthday!

Cupcake Love



These are chocolate cupcakes for a customer who needed a last minute order. Cupcakes are the perfect solution for last minute orders since they are relatively quick to assemble. Half of these cupcakes are frosted with the double vanilla buttercream and the other half are topped with the espresso buttercream.

This order was for an adorable little boy's first birthday. My customer wanted a buttercream polka dot cake with matching cupcakes. The polka dots were made with fondant in primary colors. The cupcakes are double vanilla with a vanilla buttercream. And the cake is a double vanilla cake with a whipped chocolate buttercream filling. Absolutely delicious!

Patriotic Cupcakes


A customer of mine was having an all american themed party and wanted some cupcakes to serve. She was very trusting and basically gave me free range to do what I thought would look cute. I thought, what's more American than red, white and blue with stars? I think they turned out really cute. 1/2 of the cupcakes were chocolate and 1/2 were double vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream. The star details are made out of fondant. So cute!

Golf Cake #2



This golf cake is a vanilla cake with a whipped chocolate buttercream filling. It was ordered for a birthday party for a professional golfer. There are a lot of fondant details in this cake and I think it's just perfect! I really like the raised plateau for the hole and the lower sand trap. Everything (except the flag pole and ribbon at base) on the cake is edible. I hope Gary has a wonderful birthday!

Little Miss Ellie Fant


This is a custom fondant sculpture for a 1 year old's birthday party. My customers named her Miss Ellie Fant. How cute is that! She was very well behaved while staying with me and didn't keep any one up at night.
