We're alive!

I promise!

Life really seems to go by quickly when you have 2 infants (and a 4 1/2 year old) running chaos around you!

Here are a few things we've done recently, hope you enjoy them :)

Abigail's skate

This cake was created for a special little girl's skating party! Love it! The colors were totally girly and I love how the skate turned out. What a fun cake to create!



Ian's 2nd birthday cake

This cake was created to go along with a construction theme for Ian's 2nd birthday party! This cake was a lot of fun to work on, especially because we don't do a ton of topsy turvy cakes. The signage matched a lot of the party decor and the trucks matched the invitations! Such a boy cake!



Avery's cakes

These cakes were made for Avery's 1st birthday party! I love how simple the main cake is and how smash cake matched so perfectly. I have so much fun with beach cakes, especially during the summer!





Framed Diploma

This cake was created for a graduation. The client was graduating from UNT with an MBA and wanted a cake that resembled her diploma in a frame/shadow box. She also asked that we "write in" her husband's name because he'd long joked that his name should be on her diploma when she graduated because of all of the help he'd given her over the years. She thought it would be a funny and cute acknowledgement to him. Rodney recreated the diploma in photoshop and then we printed an it as an edible image. I wrote in her husband's name with an edible marker.





Baby shower cake

This cake was created for a baby shower. We were simply asked to make the cake look like the invitation. All of the animals on the cake were on the invitation and we placed them on the cake as they were on the paper (the animals formed a border around the outside edges of the invites). Simple but cute!



Cobra/Mongoose Wedding cake



I sooooo love how this cake turned out. When the bride originally came to me with this idea and the sketch, I was a little worried that we wouldn't be able to pull it off. I feel like we absolutely did pull her vision off with this cake though and we are both very proud of it!

The topper is a cobra snake (with one green and one red eye) and a mongoose with a wedding veil on it. The bride informed me that the concept for the topper came from a long family history of her soon to be husband's. Very interesting and fun story! I was so excited to work on this cake! I love love love the way it turned out. Sorry for the multiple pics, I want you to get the full effect!







Next time, I promise not to take so long to update! We have a bunch of projects coming up soon, so hopefully I'll be able to get them up faster!

Carousel Cake, Pool Table Grooms Cake, Monogrammed Wedding, Hello Kitty cakes and a Tiffany Box baby shower!

Busy couple of weeks! Loved this cake! We used the Wilton carousel kit but replaced the plastic horses with sugar cookie ones. Loved the colors on this one!



Wedding cakes:

This is the groom's cake to go along with the wedding cake from last weekend. It's chocolate with chocolate ganache. Love the details on this cake.





Bridal cake:





Double Hello Kitty Cakes!

These cakes were made for a double party, for two little girls!







Tiffany Box Baby Shower

This was made for a baby shower for the upcoming arrival of a little boy! I've been wanting to make one of these for a while, so I'm glad we had the chance!!

Lingerie Cake, Yo Gabba Gabba, Chinese Take out Box, Crawfish Broil cake and more!

It's been so long! By the time I sit down to edit and post photos these days, I'm too tired to even think about it! Here's a peak at what we've been up to!

Lingerie Cake:





Two different Yo Gabba Gabba cakes:





Chinese Take Out Box:

I'm super proud of this cake - I hand painted the pagoda's and wording. The noodles are buttercream made with the grass tip and the rest of the cake is fondant. I just love how the pagoda's turned out!





Crawfish Broil Cake:

We had so much fun with this cake! We just got our new airbrush so we were able to try it out on the crawfish and the pot. We wanted to make the pot look like it was a little beat up since this was ordered for a party that has been thrown for several years! I also got the chance to make a sugar bottle with this cake and I am so happy with the way this one turned out! You couldn't even tell that it was not real :) I made the mold for the bottle myself and with Rodney's help, poured the sugar for the bottle. Everything is edible on this cake except for the cup (it's supposed to look like a cup of frozen hurricane). Loved this project!









We've done a few other small projects here and there, hopefully I can get those up soon! (we also started testing out our new Cricut and are SO excited to share how awesome this machine is!)

Mario Bomb, Star Wars, Cookie Bouquet, and Go Away cakes!

Here are the cakes from the last two weeks!

This one was made for our nephew, Miles, for his 4th birthday! Miles loves Mario and wanted a cake that showed just how much! Mario is super popular right now but we had a really good time with this cake!



This cake was made for a friend's son, for his 5th birthday! Super happy with the way this turned out!



Cookie Bouquet:

This bouquet was a thank you gift - the daisies and bees are NFSC with rolled buttercream and royal icing details!



Go Away cake:

This cake is super funny to me. It's a housewarming cake that showcases the couple's personality! We had a good time doing this cake, we have the same door mat (even if it is on the back porch).

Reese's Pieces, Barnyard Animal, Pig Smash, and Super Mario Brothers Cakes!

Not a lot of time to elaborate (I'm surprised I'm even getting this post in!) but here are the cakes from last week!

Reese's Pieces Cake:



Barnyard Animal Cake to go along with a petting zoo birthday!



Close up of some super cute critters!



Pig Smash Cake (went along with the barnyard cake):



Super Mario Brothers 5th Birthday:



close-ups:

Herend Scallop cake, Western themed, Moose and Zee, Teacher cookie bouquet, Superhero Cupcakes, Belle cake and Finley's 1st!

Lots of stuff to update with!

This first cake is one that took me literally 7 hours to paint. I loved the way it came out and I really enjoyed hand painting this cake. It's a chocolate cake with black raspberry filling. The client asked for a replica of this particular Herend figure. I think we did it justice!

This is a picture of the piece - it's actually gold on the bottom where it looks black.



Here's our take on it!









Western themed first birthday cake

Love this cake! the bottom tier is chocolate with oreo cream filling, middle is banana with chocolate fudge and the top tier is key lime with cream cheese. Love these different flavors! All covered in fondant. I made the one with fondant, painted it red and added edible glitter to it for some extra sparkle!



Moose & Zee smash cake:

This cake was made to go along with the western themed cake above. The little boy turning 1 loves Moose and Zee, this just seemed like the appropriate choice! Both Moose and Zee are made from a 50/50 gum paste/fondant mixture. The cake is carrot with vanilla buttercream.



Teacher cookie bouquet:

This cookie bouquet was made for a teacher that was leaving the school she worked at. It's an 8 piece bouquet with cookies that look like an apple, notebook paper, a chalkboard, red and green crayons, a ruler and a pencil! Love this bouquet!





Superhero cupcakes:

These were made for a little boy who wanted Spiderman, Batman and Superman cupcakes for his birthday! These are chocolate and vanilla cupcakes. The emblems were made with white chocolate!



Belle Cake:

This cake was made for one of Rylee's good friends, Adrianna, for her 5th birthday. Adrianna loves princesses and picked Belle for cake. It's a chocolate-chocolate chip cake with vanilla buttercream and fondant. Used lots of gold dust and glitter on this one, love the way it turned out!



FInley's 1st Birthday cake:

This smash cake was made for some friends of ours. Baby Finely recently turned 1 and her momma went with a "Cirque Du Bebe" theme for her party! Simple design for this cake based on the invitation design. I hand painted the plaque and piped the swirls around the cake. Used lots of glitter on this one, too!
