Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cake




This is a chocolate cake with peanut butter buttercream and the decor on the top and sides is made with unsweetend chocolate. I promise that next time I will get a pic of a cake slice, this one was very pretty!

Dooney and Bourke Purse



This cake was ordered for a mother on her birthday by her son, who very sweetly shared his adoration for her upon ordering. Her prized possession is this Dooney and Bourke purse, which we made into an edible birthday cake.

Introducing, Strawberry!


Our newest Flavor is Stawberry buttercream! Its made with fresh strawberry juice and it is best with strawberry slices in between cake layers!

Retro Sweetheart Cake

This cake was created for a bride and grooms first anniversary, and is a replica of their wedding cake. The cake is bananas foster with a pink traditional buttercream, and the retro chocolate brown circles are made with fondant. I hope that their first anniversary is as sweet as their wedding day!

Firetruck Cake



This firetruck cake was created for a groom at the couples rehearsal dinner. It came complete with working head and tail lights, a lightbar and firetruck siren. The tires and embelishments were made with gumpaste, fondant, twizzlers and royal icing.
The cake is red velvet cake with cream cheese filling and buttercream icing. The bride and groom preferred buttercream to fondant, so I made the entire exterior with buttercream. This method is traditionally less smooth looking, but very yummy!

Keegan Gerhard


Ok, I know this picture is terrible (it was taken with my blackberry), but it is SO prized!
This is myself and Keegan Gerhard, the host of The Food Network Challenge. They host competitions for bakers all around the country. I met him at Disney's Party of the Senses, where I got to try his sinful chocolate dessert. He was an absolute delight to meet (very handsome as well), and very encouraging of my bakery business.... and said that he hopes to meet again when he is handing me a check for $10,000 (the first place prize on The Challenge).
