Mickey Mouse - Take 2! -- 08/20/2011

Today I had another big Mickey Mouse order - this one looks to be a popular one. Already getting more questions about more of these cakes! I would so love to whip this up in pink with white polka dots and a Minnie Mouse! This order was basically a copy order of the previous one - Large 14 in round double layer cake with the Mickey cake stacked on top for a 3 layer cake. HUGE cake! A dozen cupcakes (chocolate this time) and then they added a 6 in 2 layer cake for a smash cake for the birthday boy. I hope sweet Christian had a very happy birthday today!! :)

Mickey Mouse Birthday Cake -- 06/11/2011

This is a 14 in round double layer white cake with the Mickey Mouse head cake stacked on top. This is a huge cake. I absolutely loved how it turned out. It was ordered for a 2 year old little girl's birthday party where the theme was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. One dozen matching cupcakes completed the order. Doug snapped a quick picture of me doing what I do while I was busy working. I have to admit, while it's stressful, I love the process - getting everything just so and the look on the kids faces when they see their cakes - priceless! :)

Soccer Party Cupcakes -- 05/20/2011

I whipped these up for Noah's soccer party at the end of his season. White cake with buttercream 'grass' icing and soccer ball picks. Lots of fun!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes -- 04/26/2011

These are definitely a favorite at our house! I was thinking one day, what if a reese's peanut butter cup came in cupcake form? I set out to make my own. YUM! The results were happy ones - for me and all the women in my family. lol These cupcakes were made for my sister's 35th birthday.

Disney Princess Birthday Cake -- 04/17/2011

This cake was made for another friend's little girl's 3rd birthday. She asked for a Disney Princess cake with lots of pink and purple icing - and that pink trumps purple. So cute. :) Two tier double layer strawberry cake with buttercream icing. I boxed this cake up to make a 2 hour drive to Ashville, North Carolina - I was so glad to hear little Elise loved her cake and that it was her favorite part of her day! Mission accomplished!

Phineas & Ferb Rollercoaster Birthday Cake - 04/16/2011

I made this cake for a friend of mine's little boy's 8th birthday. You might say this is the most challenging cake I have ever made. Wow. Phineas and Ferb rollercoaster cake made out of yellow cake and buttercream icing. They found a picture of a rollercoaster cake online and asked me to make a similar one with boy colors. Getting the top cake layers (the actual rollercoaster) in just the right places and getting it iced just right (by my standards) was tedious. The rollercoaster cars are made out of sugarwafer cookies that are iced and have the characters stuck in with toothpicks. All I can say after making this cake is - Whew! I'm glad that one is over! lol

Farm Birthday Cake & Horse Cake -- 03/27/2011

These are the cakes I made for Kate's 2nd birthday. She is really into 'horseys' and 'cows' right now, so I went with it. :) She seemed very pleased when she saw her cakes. The 2 tier cake is white cake with white icing 2 layer cakes stacked. I then added Duff's cake 'tattoos' with the bandana and cow print - those are so neat! It made the perfect farm themed cake and her farm themed sand and water table we got for her came with the perfect cake toppers. I always try to make a chocolate cake to go along with the white cake and the horse seemed to go perfect. These cakes were a lot of fun to make and made our birthday girl very happy!
