My client wanted a birthday cake for his wife and requested flower or balloon decoration. I went with a floral design on the side based on some designs I found on Pinterest. Simple, clean and elegant!
Baby Boy Petit Fours
I don’t make petit fours often, mostly because they’re super time consuming and never seem to come out the way I wanted them to. It’s been a while since my last attempt, so I hoped these would some out better since I’ve had quite a bit more decorating experience since last time. Thankfully, I was…
Butterfly Shaped Cake
My client needed a small cake to celebrate her daughter’s birthday. She didn’t have a specific design in mind, but wanted a butterfly cake. Decorator’s choice generally means you get a little more than you pay for because I get to have fun. I had seen a few ideas on how to carve a round…
Cub Scout Cake
A friend of mine needed a cake for 100 people decorated with the cub scout logo. To get the number of servings needed, I recommended an 12″x18″ double layer topped with 8″ double layer square. I designed the cake to have the logo stand out on top with the bottom tier acting as sort of…
Curry Jersey
I really like doing realistic looking cakes and this one was no exception. My client’s son is a Steph Curry fan and wanted his jersey for a cake. Married to a serious sports fan, I respect the small details. I got my husband’s help in finding the most current version of his jersey. Each of…
Hawaiian in Buttercream 2.0
A friend of mine wanted a special cake for her daughter’s birthday. She was having a Hawaiian themed party and needed something to coordinate. We looked at a few ideas and she liked this design, but wanted a coconut drink in place of the surfboard. Since everything was in buttercream, I used some of the…
Very Naked Cake
We live pretty far away from most of our family, so I was super excited to have my sister, Jen, and brother-in-law, Matt, come visit for a night. It happened to be Matt’s birthday, so our dinner had to include a birthday cake. He doesn’t like much icing, so I thought a naked cake would…
Patton Logistics Group & Watsontown Trucking Co
The cakes I usually make are to celebrate people, but this one is a little different. It’s celebrating great news for my home county. Thank you Patton Logistics Group for choosing to invest in Pulaski County! You can read more about what they’re doing here. And thanks to the Pulaski County Economic Development office for…
Pioneer Woman Cake
A client wanted a special cake for her mom’s birthday. The party theme was Pioneer Woman and she wanted a cake to coordinate. The Pioneer Woman’s look is typically a floral pattern and always has a clean, rustic look. How do you put that on a cake? You print it. I can do pretty floral…
Boo Cubs
I was raised a St. Louis Cardinals fan, so I was morally obligated to title this post “Boo Cubs.” A fellow Pulaski Marketplace vendor wanted a special cake to celebrate a friend’s retirement. Her friend is a huge Cubs fan, so she requested a Cubs theme cake. I gave her a few ideas and she…
Unicorn Cupcake
When a client requested unicorn cupcakes, this is the exact level of cuteness I had in mind! This is the same basic design as the unicorn cakes I’ve done, but smaller. The rainbow colored cupcakes were topped with non-edible horns for budget-friendliness.
3-D(ish) Train Cake
A client contacted me for a special cake for her son’s second birthday. He’s a big fan of trains, so I combined elements from a few different designs my client liked. It was a double layer sheet cake, so that left plenty of room on the sides to add decoration like the tunnel, rocks, trees…
