HB Birthday!

 This cake was for my friends' sister who has a passion for her days at Huntington Beach. The cake was detailed with her favorite cool drink, a view of the local pier and a plane pulling a banner of birthday wishes! Happy Birthday from Huntington Beach, CA!

Showers of Love~

 This cake was an aunt's gift to her niece for her wedding shower and the one below for her mother, whose birthday was the same day! The exquisite design of the shower cake is from PinkCakeBox.com and the teacup birthday cake was designed to match the elegance of the larger cake. Both cakes were Almond Amaretto flavor with Raspberry Chambord Buttercream filling. Congratulations to the bride and happy birthday to the momma!

Spring is in the Air~~

It's definitely spring time in California!! This cake was done was for my local church last week. White chocolate pound cake with chocolate syrup frosting to please the crowd!

Twins Turn Two!

My niece and nephew turned two earlier this month and are obsessed with Minnie and Mickey! Eugene's was almond amaretto cake with cream cheese frosting and Eugenie-Rose's was white chocolate pound cake with fresh strawberry buttercream!

Lucky 30

This cake was a blast to create! The birthday girl has a dream of traveling to Ireland and as a tribute to her "Lucky 30" year we created a chocolate syrup cake with chocolate cherry filling. We found this design that was more of a Valentine's day theme on Cake Central and tweaked it to fit this Irish theme. The headboard was made of cereal treats and the cobblestone rocks were pieces of fondant painted with different shades of gray and black. Unfortunately I am not so talented with sculpting and so I enlisted my oh-so-talented sister in law to help shape this little guy!

Arggghh Matey!

My oldest nephew turned 6 this past weekend and is obsessed with pirates. The cake was chocolate fudge (his favorite), the sand was made with almond meal and brown sugar, and the pirate ship was made of cereal treats. The treasure map had all his favorite places on it as well!

Happy birthday little Captain!xoxo

Starry Sweet Sixteen!

When I got the call for a sweet sixteen birthday cake for a family friend, I was so excited to do something girly and whimsical! This design was inspired by Pink Cake Box with a few twists to match the decor and colors of the party. Happy Birthday LMB!

Kalei in Wonderland!!

We delivered Kalei's cake this Saturday for her 5th birthday! As the door was answered she yelled out, "Mom, my teapot is here!!" which made my husband and I laugh! From the carved teapot to the mini mushrooms...this cake was so much fun to create. Hopefully I can post better pictures than this later as I forgot to take pictures before we left the house!! Hope you had a wonderful birthday Kalei!!

RJS is 3!!

My nephew turned three last week and has a passionate love for trucks!! I thought a white chocolate pound cake with cherry chocolate frosting would be appropriate! Happy Birthday little one!! xoxo

Fedora...

Yesterday we delivered to a family celebrating their father's birthday Sinatra style. Here's a fedora hat made of carrot cake with cream cheese frosting!

Pineapple Pete

Pineapple Pete has a special place in the groom's heart! This little guy was fun to create! Of course the cake had to be pineapple with a filling of fresh pineapple that was simmered with brown sugar and butter to resemble the wonderful taste of pineapple upside down cake! I wish all the best to Mike and Tricia! Mahalo!

Peanut Butter Jelly Time!!

Pecan Pie Macarons~!

Ohh yeah...Pecan Pie Macarons...every recipe I try I love these little guys more and more!! I think I've started an obsession!

Dark Chocolate Raspberry Macarons

Well I think I finally conquered the proper "macronage"! Now comes the fun part of coming up with different flavors...This one is just delightful~

Jager "master" birthday!

My brother in law turned the big 3-oh recently and the guest of honor has a taste for Jager/black licorice that most of us don't understand but an edible bottle of jagermeister is a different story! Yummy chocolate syrup cake with cookies and cream filling!

Congrats Class of 2010!!

It has been an intense week...we are major Laker fans at my house and a game seven final plus a cake to deliver in one night..oh boy it was an intense night for my nerves! But everything went smoothly...Congrats to the graduates and here's to your continued success!! xoxo, Nia

25th Wedding Anniversary

My last post about gumpaste flowers was leading up to this special event! Those flowers were specifically meant to decorate this special cake. I planned a surprise 25th anniversary for my parents this past Sunday to celebrate no small feat for these days. Lots of planning and organization I tell you. This cake was almond amaretto flavored with cream cheese frosting. The cake topper was the original one that my parents had on their wedding cake which was made by my grandmother. Until the next celebration...
