Jessica's 25th Birthday Cake

Wow! I forgot what it was like to have a Saturday morning without waking up at 6:30am to put the finishing touches on a cake! Friday I delivered this uber-cute polka dot cake to Jessica for her 25th birthday. The cake consisted of white cake, strawberry fruit preserves with fresh strawberries filling, and buttercream frosting!


The cake was delivered to Mario Sabino's Mexican/Salvadorian restaurant. Next time I deliver a cake to this kind of establishment, I have to try the food!



Halloween is upon us and lots of spooky sweets are coming out of the bakeshop this week; a ghoulish ghost topped cake and lots of creepy chocolate cupcakes decorated with fun Halloween flair! Also in the works, an out of this world topsy-turvy solar system cake! Preview below:




Stay tuned for the finished product!

Max's Batman & Robin Cake

Whew, what a whirlwind week! Lots of exciting things happened; but two of the MOST exciting things: I saw Where The Wild Things Are and I was summoned to create a Batman & Robin themed cake for Max's 4th birthday. This crime fighting creation consists of buttermilk chocolate cake with choc-O-holic frosting and vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting.




This customer made me remember why I began baking pastries in the first place: to see *THAT* look on people's face when their custom cake is unveiled! (Thanks Ben and Kat!)


This week: Jessica is turning 25 and has dreams a black and pink polka dot 2 tier vanilla cake with fresh strawberry filling! Pictures to follow of this fun and fruity cake next week!

Averie's Princess Cupcake Tower

Over the weekend I had the pleasure of ringing in Averie's 4th Birthday with a magical arrangement of cupcakes and tiara adorned cake topper to compliment her Disney Princess birthday party. The party setup was every girl's dream! All attendees arrived dressed to impress in their elegant princess costumes and then bounced the day away in the princess castle bounce-house! The strawberry buttermilk cupcakes with fluffy light buttercream were a perfect pairing for the plethora of pink and purple party-goers! (try saying that three times fast!) Oh, and there was plenty of sugar in the sweet treats to keep them bouncing all through the day! :)




This week: It's Tara and Cassie's Birthday! Grilled Pineapple-UpsideDown Cake with Rum Whipped Cream as well as Ginger Spice cupcakes with cream cheese frosting! This cakes seem to coincide with the weather Texas is experiencing lately! We're transitioning from blistering hot summer days that make you crave a tropical treat into crisp fall mornings which remind you that Thanksgiving is right around the corner! Yum! My mouth is watering just thinking about them!
