Tae Kwon Do Cake



I had the pleasure of making this cake for a Tae Kwon Do Birthday Party! The birthday boy was transformed into a cartoon for the cake! The highlight of the party (after the Tae Kwon Do class, of course) was the cutting of the cake... with a giant sword!!!

Black and White Cake


I got an email from a customer last week and I knew that I had to fit this cake into my schedule! 


She explained that her sister had been planning on getting married this summer, but that her fiance is in the military. He is going on 72 hours notice this week and they wanted to have a small wedding before he leaves. Her wedding colors are white and black, so for this cake we went with a bold black background and bold contrasting flowers and dots. The cake itself is Lemon Cake with Lemon Curd Filling and Lemon Buttercream Frosting topped with rolled fondant! Best wishes to the bride and groom and a sincere thanks to all those in the military who serve our country!

A fun, cheerful, bright, dinosaur cake for a four year old boy! One of this week's cakes was this adorable Dinosaur Cake. The only request was that it be age appropriate for a four year old and not scary. No problem!!!

Louis Vuitton Handbag Cake


This cake was required to be a cake/handbag worthy of a diva! I scaled down the Louis Vuitton Stresa PM bag a bit, otherwise, it is an exact replica of the iconic designer's classic design!

The attention to detail, from the stitches to the zipper and gold hardware are what really transforms this cake into an edible work of art!

Lingerie Bridal Shower Cake



Lingerie Bridal Shower Cake, originally uploaded by bakers-cakes.

So, I never had a lingerie bridal shower (no complaints here)! I have never been to a lingerie bridal shower (I'm pretty sure I'm ok with that too)! So when I got an order for a Cake for a Lingerie Bridal Shower AND I had free reign with the design, I had some serious research to do! I knew that I wanted it to be tasteful (I do work from home) and cute (a must for all my cakes). First, I asked around. There was definitely a consensus that I could not go with the obvious penis cake. There are lots of cakes online made with a heart shaped pan and then shaped into busts. That didn't seem right to me either. A bunch of women sitting around eating scantily clad cleavage? Nope, that wasn't going to happen. Finally, I determined I had to go with my strength, sugar paste figures. Both the bride and the groom in their underwear? Weird. It had to be the groom reclining in funny boxers and the bride-to-be blushing in her dental scrubs! A perfect cake for a tasteful Lingerie Bridal Shower!
