I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER

This Cake Happens to Be so Incredibly Special to Me that it Almost Leaves Me Speechless for ONCE in My Life. This Cake was Created for My Own Mom's 54th Birthday on February 25th, 2012. This is the One Person that has Stood by My Side My Entire Life and Has already Dedicated More Hours than I could have ever Imagined towards Helping me with My Cake Orders and Growing Business. I Love Her More than I Could Ever Express. And I Look Up to Her More than She Will Ever Know. She Builds Me Up when I am Down and Gives me Every Reason to Keep going. I Love How She Constantly Reminds me How Special I am. However, I Tend to Forget to Always Remind Her How Special and Amazing She is To Me. It Was Through this Cake, that Practically Exploded With Her Favorite Colors and Love for Birds that I could Express that to Her. With My Crazy Busy Schedule, The Fact that I Spent Her Entire Birthday with Her, was the Key to Her Happiness that Day. and With A Beautiful Cake To Top it off, I Know How Happy I Made Her :) I Love you So Much Mom! You are Everything To Me. Happy 54th Birthday, and Many More to Come.

GLAMOUR & PEARLS

This Stunning Pearl Embedded & Inspired Cake is the Result of Yet Another Elegant Design that I have been dying to Create! My Mom and I Created this Cake for My Very Own Mother-In-Law, Cheryl Bowman for Her 59th Birthday. This Cake was Made with Over 100 Hand Rolled Multi-Sized Marshmallow Balls, individually Dusted with an Edible Pearl Shimmer Dust. The Shimmer Dust Enhanced the Cake giving it a Stunning Sparkle and a Bedazzled Abeyance. The Flowers were Hand Crafted My Self in a Matter Of Minutes and Delicately placed on the Cake. Cheryl Adored Her Cake and Fell In Love with My Design! I was more than Happy to Create This Cake For her as well as Enjoy The Inside of it with the Whole Family! I Love You Cheryl, Happy Birthday!

TRAVEL CLASSY

With the Attempt to Create a New Design, I Absolutely Loved Creating This Cake! Kaylan Gollogly contacted Me through Email to Create a Unique Birthday Cake for Both Her Parents, John & Amber. She Expressed to Me how much they Love to Travel as well as her Mother's Love for the Color Red. To top it off she wanted an Elegant Design to Match the Theme of Their Birthday. As soon as the Idea of a Classy Leather Suit Case came to Mind with an Adorable Red Tag On Top, I ran with it! Kaylan LOVED the Cake and I Cannot Wait to here about how much Her Parents loved it as well :)

BEAUTIFUL & FREE @ 23

 This Adorable Cake was done for One of My Close Friends Sarah Callicott for Her 23rd Birthday On Valentines Day. With the Lack Of Day Light, I had to Make Due with Indoor Pictures and Rely On my Camera Flash for these Pictures! Either Way the Cake Turned Out Great :) I Have known Sarah For about 12 Years Now and Finally had to opportunity to Create Something Unique and Personal For Her. As Loud, Crazy and Fun as Sarah's Personality is, I felt that this was the Perfect Look to Represent a Women Who Has Followed Her Dreams, Already Owns Her Own Salon and Running a Very Successful Business at 23 Years Old. I am So Proud of You Sarah and I am so Happy that You Loved your Cake! Happy 23rd Birthday!

25 YEARS STRONG

I am Proud to Say that This Cake was Done in as Quick as 6 Hours and Reflects Most of My 12 Hour Long Dedication to Detail Work. This cake was Done for a Co-Worker of Mine Stephen Pratt for his Parent's 25 Year Anniversary Celebration! Stephen told me all about How In Love his Parents Truly are. He also expressed their Own Excitement for this Cake due their Own Wedding Cake 25 Years ago being Dropped! I was more than honored to Re-Create a New and Beautiful Wedding Anniversary Cake for them, in Hopes to make up for the Loss of their Initial One :) Thank You Again Stephen for allowing me to Make their Anniversary so Special!

Your cake was absolutely amazing! Everyone loved it and my parents may have shed a tear it was that special. I cannot thank you enough! Beautiful job!!!!!!!

HENNESSY CRUSH

This cake was done out of Complete Inspiration from some of my Previous Beer/ Alcohol Bucket Cakes. It was done for an Old Middle School and High School Friend of Mine, Ashley Valenzuela for her Brother Alonzo's 21st Birthday! To Create my own version of a Hennessy Bottle, I hand sculpted its shape out Rice Crispy Treats, Covered it in Fondant and Went to town on Gold And Black Detail Work! I Created My Own Batch of Candy Glass and broke it into Smaller Pieces to give it that Refreshing Crushed Ice Look. Ashley and Her Mom absolutely loved the cake when they came to pick it up, which made me even more excited for Alonzo to See it! Happy 21st Birthday Alonzo! I Hope that it was Just the Right Cake to Fit Such a Special Occasion :) 

My Brother really loved his cake, He said it was the best cake he's ever had! Thank u so much!

QUEEN FOR A DAY

This Cake was Done for My very Own Sister-in-Law Jennie Varvello for her 34th Birthday! I wanted to give her the Perfect Birthday Present this year and decided to Create that Out of a Cake! The inspiration behind this cake design was based off of a Tattoo that Jennie has had for years on her Ankle. It is an Adorable little Crown that Says Cajun Queen below it. This represents her's and my husband's Cajun French roots from Louisiana. So Rather than your typical Polka Dot or Stripped Wrapping paper design for a Present, I chose to Use Custom Fondant Crowns all over the Cake, cut by My Amazing Cricut Cake Machine. I also loved that This Cake represented the idea of being Queen for a Day on your birthday, which Jennie absolutely LOVED. It is literally the perfect design for Any Girl on her Birthday :)

DRAMATIC SIMPLICITY

This Absolutely Adorable Cake was done for An Old Family Friend of Mine, April Byrne for her Happily Awaited Bridal Shower this past weekend. The Light Pink and Grey Accented Colors alone Inspired me to create a Unique and yet Simplistic Design. Each Part of My design was Hand Crafted and Laid Piece by Piece onto the Cake. I hand rolled out black fondant into Small Strips and created a Dramatic Piped Look going around the outside of the cake. As if that was not Beautiful enough, I bedazzled the Piping with Edible Pink Pearls as well as Additional Black Pearls that Completely Enhanced the Cake! I Was so Proud and Amazed at How Fun this Cake Turned out to Be. Thanks to April's Lifelong Bridesmaid, Jill Gulsey for Ordering her The Perfect Bridal Shower Present and My Mom for Once again Dedicating her Time to assist in My Cake Orders, This Cake was a Hit! So Proud!

A WHIMISICAL PEACOCK

I Had so much fun with this Cake Exploring the limits of Circles and Hand Creating a Unique Pattern that Emphasized a Bold Statement. This Cake was Ordered by Liana White for her Mother Brenda's 50th Birthday. The Colors and Design ideas that she sent me for this Cake All seemed to have a Peacock Inspired Look about them. I was immediately drawn the variations of Purple and Green. To Enhance these colors I dusted each circle in an Edible Shimmer Dust allowing it to Sparkle in different lights. I Fell in LOVE with My Hand Crafted Delicate White Roses and My Pedal By Pedal Built Purple Flower on Top! The Cake was Adorable Already, and Yet I Had a Last Minute Urge To Pair the Flowers with a Soft Feather Sticking out of the top of the Cake to Re-claim the idea of  Peacock. Liana LOVED The cake, and I cannot Wait to Hear how Brenda Liked it As Well!

DR. SEUSS INSPIRATIONS

This Extremely Unique Cake was drawn from My Amazement of Dr. Seuss's Artistic Abilities and His Unbelievable Imagination. My Goal was to Create a Cake that Looked as if Dr. Seuss had Drawn it Himself and Imagined it all over again. This Cake was Done for Vivian Brown from RKR Marketing and Advertising for her Daughter Amanda's Dr. Seuss Themed Baby Shower. This Theme alone was Exhilarating to think about. I Loved being able to Re-create a Smaller Baby Version of the "Cat in the Hat" hat. And For those who Remember the Story, It is the Classic Orange Fish in a Bowl constantly Reminding The Cat of the Trouble that awaits from Thing 1 and Thing 2! So of Course I had to Hand Craft him for this Specific Cake! To top it off, I Hand Painted a Dr. Seuss Quote that More than Anything Introduced the Importance of a Child in our World. Thank you Again Vivian For This Opportunity, I loved Creating this Cake for you!

I just wanted you to know how wonderful the cake and cupcakes you made for us were! There really are no words… It was beautiful and my daughter, Amanda was thrilled to see all the detail you had on the cake. Everybody had to take pictures!!  As if that wasn’t enough, we cut the cake… and it was beyond delicious! The S’more cupcakes are the absolute best I have ever tasted! I will be ordering more!

THING 1 & THING 2, HOW DO YOU DO?

These Adorable Dr. Seuss Inspired Thing 1 and Thing 2 Cupcakes, were created to compliment the Dr. Seuss "Cat in the Hat Cake" in my Previous Post! My Original plan for these Cupcakes, to my surprise did not work! It involved Large Pieces of Fluffy Blue Cotton Candy Placed on top of each Cupcake to Resemble the Funky Blue Hair of Dr. Seuss's Thing 1 and Thing 2 Characters. Over time the Moisture and/ or Air Surrounding the Cupcakes seemed to cause the Cotton Candy to completely disintegrate into a sticky mess! My Mom and I tried covering them and replacing each cupcake with fresh cotton candy, only leading to the same result. Thanks to My Mom's Last Minute idea, She whipped up some Turquoise Buttercream, We piped each of the Cupcakes with Off centered Whimsical Swirl, Topped them with Edible Red Pearls and I Simply hand painted some Basic Labels for each Treat. They turned out Even more Adorable than we had planned and the Cotton Candy disappointment was Gone! Lesson Learned with an Even Better Result :)

SILVER IS LOVE

This Adorable 25 Year Anniversary Cake was done Completely at last minute and yet it Surpassed my Expectations! It was done for My Best Friend's, Boyfriend's Parents in honor of their 25 Years Of Love, Strength and Happiness. They had requested Silver Touches and Wedding Rings for their cake. I chose to stick to a Simple and Classic Cake Design that displays a Timeless feel that both Men and Women can Appreciate. I Fell in love with the Wedding Bands that I created and even more so that they symbolized the "Forever" Aspect of a Marriage. This 6" Cake may have been small but was filled with Meaning and Celebration. Marriage is one of the best things that has ever happened for My Husband and I, and I can only imagine the Amazing Bond that Two Individuals can share after 25 years of love Together. Congratulations Again Jim and Karen!

I am Proud to Say that This Is My 2nd Official Cupcake Order and I am more than Excited to show them off To Everyone! These cupcakes were done for April Williams, for her 18th Birthday! She had initially sent me a picture of an adorable set of black and white decorated cupcakes. Those cupcakes completely inspired me and gave me the opportunity to put my own spin on a classic idea.

April LOVED her cupcakes and I was more than happy to make her *18th* Birthday that much more special! 

SEAN & MEGHANN'S WEDDING

This Stunning Cake was done for an Amazing Couple, Sean and Meghann for their Elegant and Beautiful Wedding this past weekend. I have known Meghann for Seven years now and I was More than Honored when she asked Me to Create her Wedding Cake! This Unique Wedding Cake Design was inspired by a specific Cake on Pintrest.com that Meghann Fell in Love with. Luckily after 9 hours of Detail Work and dedication to my Hand crafted Ruffled Flower Pedals, I would say it had surpassed our Expectations! I finished the Pedals with a Soft Shimmer Dust as well as a Cluster of Small White Pearls in the Center of the Flower. These modest details may be Simple but they initiate a delicate and Stunning touch in the Final Product. Sean and Meghann Loved Their Cake and I enjoyed Watching them Fall in Love all over again on Their Wedding Day. Congratulations Again You Two and I hope your Marriage is as Beautiful as Love you Share.

MINI CAKE LOVE!

Each cake also represented some of my Most Popular Cake Flavors and Fillings.

They were a complete success and I Cannot Wait to Create My Next Mini Cake Collection When I have the Time! -P.S.
