Twin Birthdays




These Cakes were done for my twin cousins. They are as different as night and day. These girls knew exactly what they wanted and were thrilled when they saw the cakes for the first time. I thought that the cakes looked so sweet.

Princess Ellbie


My good friend Lisa ordered this sweet cake for her daughter Ellbie. I did a regular sheet cake and added one of my castles as a special touch. This is a great way to have the wow-effect but none of the hassle of the two tiered cake. (Cost less also) I do get the castles back but I think the end product is great.

Carter's Cake


This cake was made for Carter Casselman. He was dedicated a couple weeks ago and his sweet mom Tanya called and asked for s cake. You would not believe how sweet the fellowship hall was decorated. What a thoughtful mom this little fellow has. (and a great friend to me as well!) I used a cookie cutter to cut out the fondant cross but everything else was butter cream.

Fastest Cake in History


Here is cake that I made for a young couple. It was ordered as a gift for the couple by the bride's family. I was getting prepared the the day before the weeding to get started on it when the aunt called and said "the photographer is here, when will you bring the cake?" The wedding was at 5 and it was now 4:15! They were getting married that day! (instead of sat. which is what I had written down. Totally my mistake) I told her that I did not have the cake ready and that I did not know if I would be able to have it done. On top of that, it was pouring cakes and dogs outside. -A cake decorator's worst nightmare. When I say that I had not even started the cake, I had done nothing but bake the cake and make frosting. It was only the Lord that helped me get this thing together! Thank God that the church was just up the street from me because I would have never been able to get it there on time. That was the fastest cake I have ever done and I hope I never have to do that again. I know my blood pressure was out of this world! Aside from the theatrics, they loved the cake and it looked beautiful. -Thank God

Winter Wedding


Here is a cake that was ordered for a winter wedding. Many people are afraid to use color on a wedding cake but I think it made all the difference on this one. The Snow portion was done in fondant and covered with sugar crystals. It was perfect for their winter themed wedding.

Stripes and Dots



Here is a sweet cake that was so precious. I love the bold color combination of black and pink accented by the white. It is too sassy! Just the thing for a fashionable girl of any age.

Palmetto Birthday


I did this cake for my friend Tiffany. Miss Tiffany works with a sweet group of gals that wanted to do something special for her birthday. She loves all things palmetto. She is a true southern gal!
