Turtle Beach, Quilted baptism, stegosaurus, girly soccer cake!

These cakes were made this weekend!

Turtle Beach cake (super proud of this one!)

Two tiered red velvet cake with vanilla bc and fondant. Everything is edible and made from fondant except for the little sign on the top of the cake. LOVED this cake!



Quilted Baptism Cake:

This cake was fun to make - It's a strawberry cake with vanilla b/c and fondant! I used the quilted impression mat to do the sides and silver dragees for accents. (the cross is made from fondant)



Stegosaurus:

This cake was a bit of an experiment for us. We'd never done a cake like this, nor had I ever seen one. It's a chocolate cake (that I dyed red for effect) with chocolate icing and fondant. I like the way it came out but we definitely feel like there could be improvements.



Girly Soccer/Texas cake:

The request for this cake was soccer, Texas themed and girly. I'd seen a cake similar to this with more of a music theme and I used it as my basis. Everything on the cake is edible, except for the "17." I made the numbers out of fun foam. I really like the way this cake turned out, hopefully the birthday girl liked it too!

Quick post, Pink and black striped cake, Hello Kitty Cake

I don't have a ton of time right this second but I promise I will edit this post soon with a more detailed description of the cakes. For now, enjoy some pictures!

Pink and Black Zebra Striped cake:




Hello Kitty!!

1st birthday beach cake, beach wedding cake, cowboy baby shower, strawberry birthday cakes

We had a super busy week!

These were made for a little girl turning 2! She wanted strawberry shortcake themed desserts and these are what we came up with!










Cowboy Themed Baby shower cake/cupcake

This was made for a baby shower! I am pretty happy with the results. I hand painted the handkerchief design and Rodney made the baby, it's so cute! The cupcake was made for the big sister!





Beach Wedding cake

This was made for a reception after a destination wedding. The entire cake is vanilla with vanilla buttercream, crushed wafers and chocolate shells.



Ian's first birthday!

Our friends Amy and Garren were celebrating their baby's 1st birthday party and went with a beach theme! Because Ian has so many people that love him, they had to have TWO PARTIES! These were all made for both parties - I also made cookie favors but forgot to take a picture!!







(throwing in an extra picture of the main cake in a different light because I love how it turned out!)



Busy week but everything seemed to turn out pretty good!

200th post! 1st birthday, Weekend wedding cake, bulldog cake

I can't believe this is my 200th post!

Here are a few cakes we did over the weekend, plus one we completed tonight.


1st birthday cake:

(strawberry cake with vanilla buttercream and fondant accents)



Two tiered wedding cake (this cake went to a reception that was at the Ballpark in Arlington, pretty cool!)

The bottom tier is vanilla chocolate chip and the top tier is strawberry.



This bulldog cake was made for a young boy's birthday! This was a special cake in that the customer has purchased expensive cakes in the past and been disappointed. We're hoping we can be the ones to make them happy! This cake is supposed to resemble one of the family's bulldogs, hopefully we did the dog justice!

This entire cake is real - the head is made from Rice Krispy Treats and the iPhone is fondant! We had a good time with this cake!



Close up:

A little absent...

I can't believe how long it has been since I posted! We have been making cakes still, but we were out of town for a week and we found out that we are having twins and things have been crazy!

Here's a little of what we have been up to...

An outdoor wedding/groom's cake:





Our pastor's head, as interpreted by us. (for an auction at our church)



We've got some great cakes coming up soon, stay tuned!

iPhone, graduation cakes, cherry blossom wedding, groom's cake, hamburger cupcakes, shrek cake!

These were on the agenda this week! It's definitely been a crazy one!!











Wedding of the week:



The bottom tier is vanilla with strawberry buttercream, the second tier is vanilla with black raspberry buttercream, third tier is vanilla with whipped lemon buttercream and the top tier is fake!



The groom's cake is triple chocolate with amaretto buttercream filling, chocolate buttercream on the outside and chocolate covered strawberries.





These are vanilla cupcakes split in half, brownie "meat patties," fondant lettuce and cheese, royal icing mustard and ketchup!



Rodney did such a good job carving this Shrek face out - it was seriously scary having it in my house it was so realistic! All vanilla cake with fondant, RKT ears. Loved this one!
