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.

FYI for Customers

Starting today I have made some changes to the ordering process. I now require payment before I can start on your order. I have a paypal account set up for your convenience or we can discuss other methods upon your order.

Also, for all cakes and special orders (i.e. new products that haven't been priced out yet) I require 7 days advanced notice. It just helps me when I have enough time to find just the right items for your order. Rush orders are possible but for all rush orders there will be an extra $5 fee involved.

This great gift is a steal at $25.

Introducing the Petite Cakes!

I finally have pictures of one of my Petite Cakes. These cakes are just as cute as their counterpart Deluxe cakes, just on a smaller scale.

Can't get enough of these elephants!

I love it when I'm given free reign on a project like this. For this cake, the only rules I had to follow were:
1. Some sort of animal theme
2. Pink color scheme with a contrasting color

The rest was up to me.

Since I was still on an elephant high from my previous cake, I decided to run with another elephant theme.

The March of the Elephants

This is my latest cake. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

The theme was obviously elephants. My client wanted colors used from the adorable shower invitations she sent out. The gender of the baby is a surprise.



Thes picture above shows just what goes into making a cake. These items make up a wonderful gift just as they are, but isn't it so much more fun to receive the same gifts arranged like this?

I wanted to include several detail shots of the cake. I'm pretty proud of all the elephant goodies I was able to find.
