Pink Elephant {Baby Shower}

When given the option to select the theme for a baby shower our friend was giving I was flooded with ideas. I knew I wanted to use gray, it is the trendest neutral, and pink for a baby girl. I thought of a sweetest thing theme using candy or cute as a button with yarn and buttons, but we decided on baby elephants and chevrons. Instead of doing gray elephants and pink chevron I thought reverse that and have pink elephants and gray chevron. The final cake and cupcakes were so super cute and the cake topper was just precious.

Just Peachy {Wedding Cake}

This sweet peach and white 2 tier round wedding cake was the center of yummy dessert table. (pics to come later of the full table) The bride like the quilted style cakes and the groom wanted something more angular and precise. So we created a cake that gave them best if both. The pleated linear look of the bottom tier satisfied the groom's style while complimenting the more feminine quilted tier. The cake was also embellished with some ruffled flowers. We took an artistic approach to the anemone flower by using a simple gold pearl center. The cake is displayed here using one of our jade cake stands.



love the cake from this angle.

Winter One-derland {First Birthday Cake}

This cute snowman, made of rice cereal treats and marshmallow fondant, was created for a little girl's first birthday cake. We were asked to create a winter wonderland cake with a snowman that matched her birthday dress. So we made a small 2 tier pink cake that has white "snow" blanketing the tops of the tiers. Then we added snowflakes, snowballs, bead borders, and a penguin. We used soft colors of pink and pale blue and added sugar flakes to the white snow for a bit of sparkle.

Mad Science Birthday Cake

We had so much fun creating a mad science themed birthday cake for an awesome 5 year. The cake was an explosion of color, texture, and it was a feast for your senses. We included a rocket ship made of rice cereal treats, 2 boiling beakers also made of rice cereal treats, and atoms bursting of the cake on wires. There are chemical symbols, atom rings, green slime, and lightening bolts. Then we layered it with swirls of color, stars, and dots. Our inspiration for this design was fueled by the Mad Science party team. (http://www.madscience.org/) They come to your party and conduct experiments and entertain the kids while the teach. They have invitations you can use and also goodie bags for the kids. The birthday message and rocket close up. We cut out letters and then piped over them for extra color. We make our cakes to be viewed 360 degrees, so here is the back side of the cake. It also has full decoration with atoms bursting, atom string and chemical symbols. just another angle of the cake... We also created a smaller version of the cake for the birthday boy. He wanted a chocolate cake so we made him his own chocolate cake and the big cake was a tier of lemon and a tier of marble. We took the beaker from the top of the big cake down to picture with his cake.

Rock the Kasbah - 22nd birthday cake

We created this cake for a 22nd birthday party being held at the Kasbah lounge in Sacramento. We covered the cakes in a rich jewel tones and then piped a henna inspired design in gold. We added her name on the cake and then piped a scroll pattern on it and her age. The whole cake was pearlized and added hanging jewels to give it more sparkle.
