Tea for Two- Tiers!

There are so many amazing elements on this cake, that I don’t know where to start!

This cake was a 2-tier to serve about 26. The cake was iced in white buttercream and smoothed out. We then added the fondant triangle bunting and fondant bands around the base of each tier.

The remainder of the accents were fondant pieces and sugar flowers. For the fondant teapot topper, we smoothed out the fondant to create a clean surface for the hand painting. We painted the lid, spout and handle gold and painted the lily of the valley accents on the teapot, cup and saucer with food coloring. We added white fondant butterflies, sugar flowers in whites, pinks, purples and blues as well as fondant leaves to match the hand paining. A gold spoon and fork were the final touch!

The petite blue flower blossoms really pulled out the lily or the valley painting on this one. It couldn’t have turned out any sweeter! What do you think?

Welcome Baby!

This cake is a great example of using edible images in a creative way that doesn’t look cheesy. Since we printed the animals instead of piping or sculpting them, we were able to use the exact ones from the party ware making the cake perfectly match the party!

We hand painted some grasses on the buttercream, added a gold fondant band and a fondant monstera leaf to go along with the edible image animals we mounted on fondant. For the topper, we we wrapped dowel rods with raffia and added some fondant leaf garland with one additional edible image animal mounted on fondant.

So precious!

Cute Cake Toppers!

Cake toppers don’t get cuter than this!

This cake was a 6″ round jumbo (6″ tall tier) to serve about 15 people and was iced in buttercream. We iced the base of cake in white and layered shades of green around the bottom of the cake. We added some piped trees and flowers to give it a woodland look.

The hedgehog toppers were made from fondant ahead of time. We used tiny snips to create the texture of their fur and then added the arms, paws, ears and other features. They turned out absolutely adorable!

Just Peachy!

This petite cake is a 6″ round to serve up to 10 people. We iced in in peach buttercream and added brush and spatula strokes around the sides. We then smoothed out the cake completely leaving the various colors in place.

We added a jumbo sugar peony dusted pink on top and carnations and ranunculus at the base. I love the simple design and accents!

We Love Cookies!

We have had some really cute cookie sets heading out the door lately!

These are our scratch sugar cookies that we decorate with royal icing. Our royal icing is a butter vanilla flavor that isn’t too sweet.

Cookies have become increasingly popular in the last few years. We often will create a cake with matching cookies. Sometimes the cookies are served at the party on the dessert table and other times the cookies are heat sealed and given as party favors. Either way, WE LOVE COOKIES!

You’re So Golden

Gold is still in for weddings – in a BIG way!

For this wedding cake, we iced each tier in white buttercream and added a white bead border at the base of each tier. For the lace, we used our silicone lace mat and added our lace mixture and let it dry completely. Once it’s dry, we peeled it from the mold and painted it gold. The final step is to place it on the cake. Typically, the little bit of moisture on the cake will make it easy for the lace to adhere to the cake. If you need something extra, a little bit of vodka or clear alcohol will do the trick!

We finished off this cake with a fondant “B” monogram and painted it to match the lace. We were so excited to see that the cake stand the bride selected matched perfectly!

Sweet Sixteen!

This cake was a gorgeous four tier cake iced completely in buttercream. The top tier was Red Velvet with the bottom three tiers being Vanilla with different fillings in each tier.

Once the cake was crumb coated and final iced, we stacked the cake. Once stacked, we thoroughly chilled the cake. We then were able to pipe the petite buttercream details and bead borders. Once this was done, we chilled the cake once again. It’s always easier to decorate a chilled cake!

Once the detailed piping and bead borders were added, we painted them gold. This gold matched the party decor and cake stand perfectly! Onsite, we added the topper and name plate. The gold and white theme was so regal and gorgeous!

Game On!

We get game console requests quite often and they are always so fun to create!

The console itself is typically made from cake. And the controller is often made from rice cereal treats covered in fondant. Both are edible, but we often hear from clients that they saved their controllers because they look so realistic.

So Beary Cute!

These bubble/ball cakes are so popular right now! Bubble cakes have a variety of balls in different sizes that travel down the cake like a balloon arch. These balls are typically made ahead of time and can be made from candy, gum balls, fondant and even styrofoam.

For this cake, we iced three layers of an 8″ round making it an 8″ round jumbo to serve 24. The cake itself was simply iced in smooth buttercream. We then added the bubbles, clouds and the bear in the hot air balloon basket. Adorable!
