Future Orders

I'm sad to announce that I will not be taking any further cake orders. In a nutshell, it is just too stressful with a toddler. I have been so blessed with so many to support me and have had quite an adventure. I still have some orders to take care of in the next few months, three wedding cakes included, and will continue to make cakes for family here and there. Stay tuned. =)

For Jeremy - we always go to Monster Truck Jam every year for his birthday. He's been dying for this cake. =) Vanilla cake with chocolate fudge filling. Graham cracker on the top. And I finally figured out the best way to take pictures of the cakes - makes me feel bad for all the other cakes!

60th Birthday Cake

This was exciting - I've been in touch with a publisher for a website "Macaroni Kid" whose been wanting to advertise for me. I haven't been able to afford to pay for it, but she said she couldn't stop thinking about my cakes and wanted to order one from me! So in exchange for making this cake for her, she's going to do a write up about my cakes in the weekly newsletter for two weeks!

On the cute site, North Sound Macaroni Kid, she highlights local happenings for kids and families in the North Sound area, also including household tips, recipes, craft ideas and etc. Check it out!

(Vanilla cake with a lemon frosting filling. Outside is buttercream icing and marshmallow fondant decor. )



Eagle Scout Cake

First Eagle Scout cake! (And first 1/2 sheet as well.) Chocolate cake with triple chocolate frosting filling. Buttercream on the outside with marshmallow fondant design.



For the eagle I used an edible marker to draw on the gray fondant. That was a first!

Sushi Cake

For a sushi obsessed guy! =)

Ocean cake

Karen (Ona) is a scuba diver and obsessed with anything underwater, so for her birthday cake, what could be more fitting? I made the shells out of melting chocolate and the rest with buttercream icing. 





More cupcakes

6 of these were gluten free & eggless! It took a lot of experimenting and stress, but we (had to enlist the help of the husby) figured it out! The birthday boy can't have wheat or eggs. =) Jason and I tried one, and they actually don't taste that bad!

Mini Wedding Cake for Course 3

Finished up Wilton Course 3 with the mini wedding cake! My lilies weren't hard enough in time for class, so I put them on the next day. =) Also, this time around I made homemade marshmallow fondant and it tastes SOOO much better than store bought. Oh my! It'll just take some more practice - it's a little harder to work with. I like the ruffle border, so cute. 

Then I didn't have enough lilies for the bottom tier...oh well. =)
