Deluxe Cakes

I have a client who always seems to be put in charge of major gifts for her office. Luckily she has great taste and orders from me. The following are two cakes I have made for her over recent months. These would be in the 'custom' order category, as their contents include almost an entire baby store...

First is this adorable boy cake:




 



And an equally adorable girl cake:




I have so much fun making these adorable gifts!

Baby Boy Jungle Cakes

Sorry for neglecting the blog for so long. Life got really busy which didn't afford much time to make fun gifts.

I have done a few cakes in the last little while and I'm excited to share them with you, my faithful readers.

I just completed an order for two baby boy cakes. The only criteria I was given was that they were for boys, and they both needed to be the same. I had free reign after that.

The minute I stepped in the baby section of my favorite store, these adorable jungle blankets caught my eye. And then I turned around and saw big fat squishy elephants and I was sold. There was SO much adorable jungle stuff, I had a hard time not buying it all.

Here is cake #1:






And cake #2:





I hope my clients and the recipients of these fun cakes love them as much as I do!

Deluxe Spa Cake


I had so much fun making this one. The person I made it for loves bees. And chocolate. And soaking in a tub. I found so much great stuff that I had a difficult time parting with it!

Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails






I made this cake as a gift for a dear friend who is having her first baby. Their theme for the nursery is obviously puppy dogs in blue and brown. It was pure torture to narrow things down for this cake--I have never found so much awesome stuff in one theme.

I'm pretty happy how it turned out.

Fun New Creations

I wanted to introduce two new cake creations: Drinks on the Beach, and the Fitness Cake.

The drinking cake was made as a gift for a couples wedding shower. I have never attended a couples shower before. It was a lot of fun. This fun couple is getting married on a beach in the U.S. Virgin Islands so I wanted to give them something they could use while on vacation.

The whole cake sits on a fun tray. The main part of the cake is a huge 2-person beach towel. Wrapped inside the towel is a drink mixer which is filled with fun drink stirrers and those fun plastic 'ice' cubes. I tied two drink glasses to the front with a big purple bow. The top is adorned with festive paper umbrellas. Pretty fun if I do say so myself.

Next is the Fitness Cake.

My mom wanted a fun way to give my dad some exercise equipment for Father's Day. You won't believe all the fun stuff that went into this cake: A fluffy towel, workout shorts, 2 shirts, 6 pair socks, a workout bag, a water bottle, an itunes gift card and hand weights. Like all the gifts we make, this is both fun and practical.
