This super cute animal cake was for my awesome sister-in-law. She is a huge animal lover, has worked at various shelters, and houses rescue animals often along with having 3 adorable pets as well. We wanted to model the animals in the cake after their pets – Isis, their doggie, and 2 bunnies, Lenny and Caerie. Since we had a few extra sides we added a deer and a squirrel to add to the cuteness, cause hey why not.

The cake itself was yellow cake with raspberry preserve filling. Covered and decorated with fondant, and fun royal icing eyes. I LOVE the big cartoon eyes!! Check out the cake carnage below, I love the destruction pics, and you can see a few pics of their adorable pets. Happy Birthday Heather!!

This was such a fun challenge! One of our regular customer wanted a custom cake for her grandfather’s 80th birthday. He was a tailor who specialized in Russian hats and she wanted an old school sewing machine just like the one he has had for years. We were able to make the sewing machine out of rice krispie treats, chocolate cake (to fill in gaps) and fondant. You can check out the process pics below. The scraps of material around the sewing machine are based on the materials of the hats he made. The hardest part was getting the sewing machine to stand on it’s own, but after a few tries and versions of structure, we finally got it!!! Happy 80th Dada! Russian for Grandpa

This was a super cute Lily pad themed, pink and green baby shower cupcake tower. The soon-to-be baby is of course named Lily, and we were able to do fondant initial L’s on the cupcakes. The cupcakes were all different flavors, red velvet, mint-chocolate, chocolate, and vanilla. The top cake was a special request from the mom-to-be, strawberry shortcake!! And it was requested to do as little fondant as possible, so it is iced with buttercream and had only a few fondant decorations, the name band and top figures. The baby on lily pad on top are all hand made our of fondant.

All the best to little Miss Lily when she arrives!

These were actually made to go along with the Minnie Mouse Cupcakes for her cousin’s joint birthday! The cupcakes are chocolate cupcakes with my new FAV, cookies n cream buttercream! It’s so addicting, the staff and I can’t stop eating it LOL. Then we did the decorations all in fondant, including my favorite, a 2D Lightning McQueen! A big shootout to our cake elf, Naomi who was rockin’ the fondant cars! Happy Birthday, Kevin Jr.!!

This was a super fun Minnie Mouse cake for a super cute little girl from Brooklyn! The cake is yellow cake with vanilla buttercream, covered and decorated in fondant. We were able to make this cake and buttercream special with almond milk, due to a milk allergy, and it was still super delicious.

We also made matching cupcakes, complete with matching multicolor polka dot bows, how cute are they?!  A shout out to our cake elf Cameca, for doing a fab job on those little bows. Miss Minnie Mouse seems to be very popular recently, so i’m sure we’ll be seeing more variations soon. Happy Birthday Reniyah.

I love when Fall comes and it’s completely an excuse to eat as much apple and pumpkin goodness as possible LOL. So a friend of ours has a friends thanksgiving potluck and of course i had to play! I didn’t have a whole bunch of time, so i pulled a semi- homemade dessert, and in a pinch there is so nothing wrong with that! I LOVE cinnamon buns, but honestly don’t have the patience for making the dough, etc etc.

So i found this recipe from Sandra Lee over at the food network and it was just the basics i was looking for that allowed me to tweak it a little bit.

I omitted the walnuts, and cut up the apples with the brown sugar. I added way more cinnamon, added some nutmeg, and a half pinch of cloves and allspice, and about 2 Tablespoons melted butter.  I made sure to cut up extra apples, and then cut them up even smaller into teeny pieces. I then unrolled the buns and pressed the small cut apple cinnamon mixture into the dough, and then rolled it back up before putting it cinnamon side down in the cupcake pan with the chopped apples. And yes it is totally messy, but completely worth it!

When they came out, i just poured a caramel sauce over them for maximum yumminess (yes that is a technical term hehe). You can use jarred or make your own and just thin it with a little bit of heavy cream. Enjoy!

These are my favorite thing ever for Thanksgiving! They’ve been a staple in our Fall Harvest Line for the last 2 years. It’s basically a thicker kind of pumpkin pie mixture, with a gingerbread crust and then a ridiculously decadent gingerbread crumb topping on top. Let’s just say it’s hard to not just eat the gingerbread crumb topping by itself lol!! And then we drizzle it with a cream cheese frosting glaze. It’s a little piece of pumpkin holiday festiveness in one bite!! Order now while they still last!

Our first iphone cake!!! This was actually a graduation cake, and we were able to customize all of the icons to the graduate. The cake is yellow cake with vanilla rainbow sprinkle buttercream. Covered in fondant and we painted the silver parts with silver luster dust to make it look like metal, and we also brushed the black with simple water to give it a sheen to look like the real iphone. Fortunately, i had mine to model off of hehe.  The screen part was done on our edible ink printer and photoshopped to customize the icons. Can’t wait to do another one!!
