Kimber & Brandon Beers

Kimber had sent me several photos of cakes that she liked but decided that they were boring.  So we got our heads together and via email... and we came up with the idea to do a black cake.   Kimber wanted her cake to be unique.  It turned out so nice.  Their wedding day was beautiful as were the bride & groom!  Congratulations Mr. & Mr. Beers...may your marriage be a long and happy one!

Wylie's First Birthday!

My niece, Leslie asked me if I could show her how to make birthday cakes for her sons.  I don't usually teach classes... I have NEVER taken a class.  I have just learned by reading and researching.  So I thought what a fun thing to do!  I remember when our children were little and I wanted to learn how to make cakes and just bought some cake decorating books and went from there.  I would have loved to have someone show me some tips and tricks... so of course I would love to help Leslie learn the tricks!  So we got together a week ago and made all the decorations so they would have time to set up and dry.  Then on Wednesday, we baked the cakes, then tonight we iced, covered with fondant and put on all those decorations!  What fun!  And what a special thing for Wylie to have his mommy make his first birthday cake!  Leslie is a very fast learner.  She did fantastic!  Leslie... this brought me so much joy to be able to help you!  Hope you learned a lot!

More Gingerbread Houses!

I invited my nieces and their families over to make gingerbread houses and it was such a joy to watch the little ones making their houses!  I had everything all set up when they got here....

Everyone quickly got to work!


At the end of the gingerbread party... everyone had their own unique creation.... family memories to last forever... and I can not say how much joy it brings me to have my nieces and their families come over and spend the day like this.  Thanks Kids!  Hope you all had fun!

I baked samples for 4 brides last weekend... here they are!

Gingerbread Houses!

I baked gingerbread houses and took them to Medford with me last weekend so our grown up kids could decorate them.  What a hoot!  It brought me great joy to see them each creating their own special house.  They each were unique and fun!

Courtney & Colton

Courtney brought a picture of a cake she had fallen in love with and we used it for inspiration and changed it to make it her very own special cake.  We suprised Colton with the groom's cake.  When I met with them he said he just wanted something in camo for the wedding... so I made a special groom's cake for him in camo!  The bottom tier of the groom's cake was to look like a tree stump with their initials carved into it.  I added a boat on the top with fishing gear inside.  And a few ducks and cattails completed the cake.   And I also did mini cupcakes for them.  Each cupcake had a mini sunflower on it.

Cari & Dustin

I had to do a little photoshop work on this picture.  When I went to deliver the cake it was very windy outside and I set it up in the kitchen indoors and they will move it out later.  So I cropped out the background.
