Rubber Duck Baby Shower *Qwak Qwak*





Safa's sister in law was planning her a surprise baby shower, we talked about ideas and themes and decided that rubber duckie was a cool and fun baby boy shower theme! I teamed up with Samantha from SmSm's Event Planning for the beautiful Sweets table and decorations! The cake was a chocolate bathtub cake with a rubber duckie in it :) I also made Vanilla cupcakes with blue butter cream for the water and fondant ducks! I also made strawberry chocolate truffles drizzled with baby blue chocolate & duckie sugar cookies topped with butter cream and fondant! The beautiful sweets table made by SmSm's Event Planning included a wide variety of chocolate candy that was packaged as the party favors!

Princess Cake!



When you think of a teenage girls birthday cake what comes to mind? For me the first thing that comes to mind is HOT PINK & Tiaras! A young lady was turning 17 and wanted a cool birthday cake that had to have a tiara on it because her nickname is princess. So after a lot of thinking and options we came across this cake(TiaraCake) She loved and told me she gasped and screamed when she saw it! she knew it was the one! So I used this cake as my inspiration and made a two tier princess cake!

Lady Bug Cake


When people ask me to make them a special cake I always ask them what do they like or what does the birthday person like, this helps gather ideas and themes for the cake. This cake was for a grandmother who was turning 80 years old and her family wanted a cake that reflected something she loves and is passionate about, Ladybugs! The birthday party was in December so I had to incorporate the party colors with the theme, it was pretty hard because its hard to make bugs look nice on a cake! but once one of the daughters saw the cake she loved it and said her mother will really love it!

Becca Cupcake!



One of my customers wanted to surprise her friend with a cake! Her nickname is Becca Cupcake so what else would be better than a cupcake cake! Initially the plan was to make a camera cake but we has to change it and this was the cake! It was inspired by another cake maker but I cannot find her blog @ the moment I will link it as soon as I do! All decorations were made from fondant including the candle! So much fun!

P*S I love HOT pink cakes!

Baby Bear Birthday Cake!


My Friends son turned one on December 17th, and she wanted a special cake for him! As most of you know it’s easier to find inspirations for girl’s cakes then boys, after a lot of ideas and brainstorming the parents decided on a Bear theme cake! This cake was inspired by one of the ladies from cake central BearCake ! The base was chocolate cake half of it was mint & the other half strawberry butter cream. The top tier was Vanilla cake with one half strawberry butter cream and the other half cream cheese. Yum Yum!

Three Unique Cupcakes!



A friend of mine owns a studio downtown and every month he and his partners have an open house showcasing all there awesome work (Two-Thirds Studio). He asked me to make some sweet cupcakes for their one year anniversary; I was up for the challenge because I love making unique cupcakes! He asked me to make three different types of cupcakes each one reflecting the artists personality. The first cupcake was for Danny he wanted a cupcake that reflected his heritage so he went with a cinnamon cupcake filled with dulce de lecha and toped whipped butter cream and mini churros!!! Yum yum yum!! Here is his cupcake:


Second up was the Spicy Chai cupcake!! I wanted to make them stand out so I piped roses on the cupcakes :)


Last but not least was the carrot cake! Let me tell you when this was baking i wanted to take it out of the oven and eat it right away! there is something abuot nutmeg that just makes food so yummmy ! ( Photo above)



Since these were for some great artists I thought Id be a bit artistic and make them personalized thank you cards!





Giant Cupcake!



Chocolate Giant Cupcake with fondant Cherry on top! I wanted to make the cupcake look as real as possible, since they do not sell giant cupcake liners I decided to make the liner from hot pink fondant! Everything else was buttercream. The cupcakes were strawberry with strawberry cream cheese frosting & fresh strawberrys on top Yum Yum!
