wedding cakes







As I get started this year, I'm really trying to focus on getting my business up and running now that we're all moved! So I"m putting in a kitchen and going to go big or go home...well actually I'll be home, so it's just go big!



My goal is to be doing 2-4 wedding cakes a month through the summer... lets see if I can accomplish this!


Above are a couple of the wedding cakes I've done....

Topsy Turvy


My neice turned 5 this summer and had an amazing Alice in Wonderland themed birthday party. So of course the cake had to be whimsical and a little crazy :) The cake looked amazing! Then we had some technical difficulties, the middle tier slid off the cake and smashed into the floor. So I quickly put a new middle tier together and the day was saved.... or so I thought. About an hour into the party the bottom tier EXPLODED!

Needless to say I learned my lesson, from now I'll cook all my own cakes :)

another Mary Kay


This was the first Mary Kay cake I did for my Sister

Mary Kay


So my sister is an amazing woman and has a million things going on in her life. One of the things she's involved with is being a Mary Kay consultant. So for her open houses she's asked me to make a few different cakes for her. This one was in the fall, the leaves are made of chocolate and the acorns are carmels

a Buggie Cake


My middle child turned 2 this last year and all she wanted for her birthday was a buggie cake. So I put this cute lil guy together. One of my favorite character cakes for sure!

Another photo from the back

Ford vs Dodge


So I'm a Ford girl through and through! I think it started when I was about 16 and my dad bought a new burgundy Ford. I had just gotten my driving license and I wanted to go out with some friends... so I begged and pleaded and helped him clean out his out truck and finally he agreed to let me take it out.... it was a beauty! I loved how it handled, and how cool I felt in it, I also loved the stereo in it... anyways when I was approached to make a truck cake for a birthday I was ecstatic to see it was going to be a ford!

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Cake


A cake I made for another little one's first birthday

Lets start the timer again!


Wow! ok so it's been a year since I posted on here! And what a crazy year it has been. I had my third baby, we moved twice and my oldest started school!!

As well...so many new cakes! I tried some new techniques this year, as well my loving husband got me an airbrush for my birthday. As I continue forward I feel like each cake gets better than the last!
My sister brought me some pictures of jungle themed cakes like she like for my nephews 1st birthday! After some consideration she decided maybe she's better just get a character cake...
But my Nephew needed something amazing to celebrate his 1st birthday! So this is what I put together in the end. AND HE LOVED IT! He grabbe the one monkey right off the cake and shoved the whole thing in his mouth!
