Cake Catch Up!!!

Can't believe I've been MIA so long! I've had trouble loggin on so I kept posting my cakes on my website, sadly neglecting my blog. But I'm back and determined to catch up....So here comes a bunch of new(ish) cakes...

A Lily Pulitzer inspired 1st birthday cake. Love how the pattern came out!

Tinkerbell Tree stump cake. So cute and so fun to make! Especially all the little ferns, mushrooms and other details!

Three tiered baby shower cake for my sister in law! Love the simplicity of it!

Love this cake! So simple, so clean, so perfect!

Mermaid themed cake and cookie favors. This combo was a blast to make!! I can't say enough how much it was to create all the little details, the fish, sea snail...everything! It was my absolute fav to work on! So girly and cute! And the cookie favors to match? Too much! Too cute!

And last but not least...The Marine Corps Cake. For a true marine and police officer's retirement party!

The Mod Cake + Cookie Favors

This was a cake and cookie favors order. I love how they go together and everything matches perfectly. I must admit, the chevron pattern wasn't the easiest thing in the world to do...it took a lot of measuring and math to get it right. But I like the overall outcome. I had a blast hand making the pin whees to go on top of the cake and also on the cake table. They turned out so darn cute! And I loved doing the cookies. They are such a fun, customizable favor to have at a baby shower. I think this cake come out adorably...super happy with it.

The Dia de los Bebes Cake

I have to start by saying....I love this cake. I love everything about it. I love the colors. I love the twisty blue drapes. I love the multi-colored roses. And I especially love the skull. I loved making her and hand painting all the cute details on her...which I took directly from their invitation. I love the bow and the gold pacifier! This has got to be one of my favorites. And to make it even more special...it was for our dear dear friends, Seth and Mandy's baby shower. It was such a joy and pleasure to create this for them. They are just the nicest people with the coolest style. Congrats guys! xoxo.

The Pirate Cake

This one was a super fun cake to make. I really like the whole concept and execution. I loved making the little pirate and his treasure chest...And the client loved it!

The Dune Spice Worm Cake

When I got this order for a Dune themed cake for a surprise grooms cake...I have to admit, I didn't know what Dune was. Apparently it is a cool movie from the 80's in which dudes ride giant spice sand worms. After doing a bunch of research, Matt and I had a clear plan of how to craft him...and make him look like he was coming out of the sand dunes. In the end, I love how he came out...even though it is a bit creepy. I love the airbrushing, the tons of teeth and the brown sugar sand.

The Natalia Fabia Baby Shower Cake

This one is very near and dear to my heart. Our amazing, lovely and super talented friends, Natalia Fabia and Jay Bentley are having a baby! We are super excited for them and was super excited for their shower! I offered my baking services to the planner and she sent me some amazing vintage baby shower pics, with cute little animals, big vintage roses and a very 'Natalia' color palette (ie...lots of bright, glittery color!) After getting inspired, we came up with this cake/cupcake combo. There is so much I love about it, I don't know where to start! The colors are glorious, I love the draped strings on the bottom tier. I loved making little bunny and giraffe! The cupcake toppers were my fav! They were all hand carved and hand painted by me. It was so much fun!.....The roses however....they were a struggle. I am not an expert flower maker, by any means. But I did my very best and after some shimmer, they looked great! The whole look has to be one of my favorites to date, for sure! And the fact that is was for two amazing people whom we love so much was just the icing on the cake! (pun intended.)

The Girly Peanut Cake

A loyal customer of ours ordered a cake for her friend, who's nickname is 'peanut.' So, naturally, the concept was a giant peanut! Then we added a little figurine of the birthday girl (who is gorgeous and highly fashionable!) and her french bulldog. I really love this cake. I love how it came together. I think the colors relate perfectly together and I just loved dressing the figurine and making teeny tiny heels and teeny belt! So fun!
