FINALLY, a blog post…with content and pictures!! Don’t fall off your chairs, folks…I know it’s been a while! I’ve decided that instead of doing separate posts for each cake, that I would group them into categories! I’ll start off with the birthday cakes from the month of September (and a few from the end of August too!).

***Click on each of the pictures for a description of the cakes!***

Flowers & Butterflies

Butterflies & Flowers 1st Birthday Cake

I LOVE girly cakes!  This one was based off the plates for the party (Hugs N Stitches).  I love the colors!  This is the first time I’ve done a stacked buttercream cake without borders and I LOVE the way it came out…very clean!

Princess Tiana Cake

Princess & The Frog Cake

I did this cake for the daughter of my husband’s boss.  Her daughter loves the movie Princess & The Frog, so I designed the cake after the dress that Princess Tiana wears in the movie.  Since I have boys and they aren’t that into the princess movies, I had never seen the movie, so I had to rely on the internet for help with this one! 🙂  I love the colors of the cake!

To the Farm

Barn Birthday Cake

This cake was for a really cute little 2-year-old!  When his mommy asked him what he wanted on his cake he said he wanted tractors and cows!  So cute!  I love making the animals for these farm-themed cakes!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Lucas!  Hope you got everything you could ever wish for!

Here’s a collage of the details:

Barn Cake Details

Emily, the cake was amazing. Lucas said “I want barn down”. since it looked so awesome he thought it was a toy to play with :)! Once again you have outdone yourself. Your cakes look and taste absolutely magnificent!!! ~ Jennifer

Graduation Cakes and Some Strays

So this has been a SUPER busy week.  These are only 2 of 4 cakes this week (and a bonus one I haven’t had a chance to upload yet until now).  I’ll upload the rest later this weekend!

Preschool Graduation Cake

The first one is one that I was asked to make for my son’s preschool graduation.  I had a lot of fun making it, although I’m going to have to try to figure out what is wrong with the black ink on my edible image printer, because all of the writing ended up having to be hand-painted on…and I don’t write straight, much less paint words straight!  I’m happy with how it turned out and everyone seemed to be enjoying it!  Congrats, Ben…you’re going to LOVE kindergarten!

Purple Polka Dotted Grad Cake

This cake was for a local grad.  The school colors were purple and white…yes, that’s purple…for some reason, that color doesn’t photograph well…perhaps it’s the cloudy day!  Congratulations, Jordan!

Wizard of Oz Cake v.2

Normally, when someone asks me to do a cake from my gallery, I like to change it up a little (or reinvent the wheel).  I LOVE the design of this cake, so I really didn’t want to do anything major to change it.  I did do a few minor things, but mainly it’s the same!  Happiest of Fifth Birthdays to you Jewel!

Playing Catch-up

Okay, I’m a few cakes behind and I have another two I’m currently working on.

Daisy Birthday Cake

Daisy Cupcakes

The first cake was for a mother’s birthday.  It happened to be Mother’s day weekend.  The family didn’t want to focus on how old their mom was, but who she is to the people in her family…hence the flowers with the names written on them.  The cupcakes went with the cake.

Graduation Cap Cake

The second cake was for a graduation celebration at my husband’s work.  Three of his co-workers were graduating.

Gift Box Wedding Cake

Another view of the Gift Box Wedding Cake

The “cake gods” were smiling on me today!  I made an almost-last-minute decision to deliver this cake in pieces and assemble on-site.  Boy am I glad I made that decision!  The roads to get to the venue were windy, hilly, pot-holey and SUPER bumpy!  I’m 100% positive that had I stacked it, it would either not have made it, or I would still be trying to drive it there…very, very slowly!  The beautiful bride is a cousin of a few of my cousins and she chose a GORGEOUS place to be married!  The venue was almost out in the woods and had lots of windows viewing the surrounding trees.  I wish I would have taken some pictures, but guest were starting to arrive as I finished.

Congratulations, Michelle and David!  May you have many, many happy years together!  It was a real pleasure working with you to create your special cake!

Simple Girly Birthday Cake

Another cake from this weekend…this was a very simple, small cake that I made for a birthday party.  It was made to look like the party ware.

Emily ~ I just wanted to email you and tell you how absolutely adorable and wonderful the cake was for my sister’s party.  Everyone could not stop talking about it.  I was so excited about it I almost did wait until present time to show it off.  It also tasted as good as it looked.   I just cannot say enough outstanding things about it.  It was perfect!  Thank you again for delivering it.  Your card is on my fridge and I have bragged to all of my friends at work how cute it was.  We will definitely be ordering in the future. ~ Jennifer

Homer Simpson Postage Stamp Groom’s Cake

Homer Simpson Groom's Cake

This cake was for a rehearsal dinner last night.  The groom loves the Simpsons, so his mom requested the cake as a surprise.  I love the way it turned out!  I got to use my airbrush again, so that was fun!  And I created a stencil for the first time for Homer’s face.

Best wishes to the bride and groom…today is their wedding day!  Hopefully the rain will hold off!  Congratulations!

How-to will follow on how to clean up black food coloring from white fondant!

Just had to let you know right away that your cake was totally awesome.  Our son was excited about it – all  his friends, also.  Lots of pictures were taken—it was delicious and picture perfect.  We gave your web site address to lots of people.  Thanks again, you are very talented. ~Betty

Sunny and Chica

Sunny & Chica Cakes

Remember the twins?  Here are their baby shower cakes, one and two.  And their christening cake.  Well, they just turned ONE!  They are in love with the chicken from the Sprout Network, Chica…so Chicas they got!  And the sun, well I’ve decided to call him Sunny!

Happy Birthday, Alexis!  Happy Birthday, Kendall!  May you have many, many more birthdays! 🙂

George is Curious!

This is a Curious George Birthday cake for a little girl turning one.  The mom had the cutest George party ware and it made it super easy to come up with a design for the cake!  Stay tuned for a how-to on the bow loops!

Happy 1st Birthday, Grace!

This cake was for my daughter Grace’s first birthday party. It was a hit! Everyone loved it. Not only did it look fabulous, it tasted great! Emily did such a wonderful job. I could not have asked for any part of the experience to have been better. Emily is a true artist and professional. GREAT JOB! We will be back! ~ Cheryl
