#2... Mama Pig and Piglet

Super cute pigs for a super special birthday girl.

#1... Whales

It's that time of year again! When our kids have birthdays, we end up making lots of cakes! Here's the first batch... Whale cupcakes for school. Stay tuned for more!

P Party

This pair of siblings had a P party... It was held at the pool, its theme was pirates and princesses, and they had pizza and a pinata! (We hope no one peed in the pool at the P party!)

Love Makes the World Go Round

An "around the world" party theme inspired this 3D globe cake for a special 5-year-old birthday girl.

Snoopy

Nothing like old school Joe Cool!

Dude

Don't try a half-pipe on this skateboard! Happy Birthday to the coolest skateboarder we know...

Mission to Mars

In honor of a party at Chabot Space and Science Center... Happy birthday, little astronaut!

Leaving on a Jet Plane

This crew of happy kids are headed on a birthday adventure in their nifty pink airplane.

Red, White and Blue cupcakes

Happy 4th of July!

Pretty in Pink

Rumor has it that the lucky kids at preschool had a double birthday on the day we sent these in... Which meant DOUBLE CUPCAKES!! Doesn't get any better than that!

May birthdays... a little late!

What do my 11-year-0ld niece and my 36-year-old husband have in common (other than being part of the same kooky family)?  He doesn't really get the whole Webkinz thing and she doesn't play bass guitar... Hmmmm-- they're both Geminis!  Happy Birthday, Madeline and Stuart!

On Vacation

When you're on vacation and your nephew asks for a Yoda cake, what do you do?  You improvise!! We've just discovered that with nieces helping out, giving encouragement and sneaking licks of frosting (I'm teaching them ALL my tricks), you can turn boxed cake mix and canned frosting into a 4-year-old's dream cake.  :)

Go, Diego, Go!

Kind of looks like one of the Keebler elves, but we think this 2-year-0ld Diego fan will be happy with her cake!  Kamala's 2-year-old wanted her own copy of the photo we used, and she couldn't even part with her "Diggo picture" at bedtime!

Black and White

Chocolate with vanilla and vanilla with chocolate... Happy Birthday, Geminis!

Go, Speed Racer!

Old school.

Killer Whale

In honor of a Sea World birthday celebration!

Another Repeat Performance

Lightening McQueen is back for another win!

An Old Standard

Even though this design is a repeat for us, this is our first ever talking cake! ("Caterpillar... honk, honk.") Vanilla cake, strawberry filling and chocolate frosting.

The Big 2

These mini carrot cupcakes are for a mom's group gathering in honor of the kids turning two.

Growing Light Montessori School

We hope all the young artists who were honored at the Growing Light art show enjoyed a piece of this humongous cake!

Dolphins

We think EVERY teacher should celebrate the last day of class with cake for the students!

So Pretty

Baby shower cupcakes...

This Week in Sports

First soccer balls, now baseballs... I bet the people next to these fans at the ballpark were super jealous! Maybe one of these days, vendors will be selling cupcakes.

Missing Trucks...

Not to worry! The trucks were supplied at the time we dropped of the cake-- we just didn't have a camera. Just picture an excavator working at the hole, a paver smoothing the road, and a bulldozer moving that pile! The cupcakes were to supplement the cake, because of all those hungry kids (and parents)!

What We Do With Leftovers

Indy is back!

A little less scary than the real skull, but a super cool cake for this 5-year-old's birthday celebration.

Lots and lots of soccer balls

Not quite as healthy as oranges (the snack from my soccer memories)... but a great way to celebrate the season! We cranked out 72 of these in time for some weekend soccer parties.

Cake-Filled Weekend

A wedding cake for the couple-of-honor (mocha with espresso fudge frosting), an anniversary cake for the host and hostess (carrot with cream cheese frosting), and enough mini cupcakes (chocolate and lemon) to feed the 150+ guests... It was a busy and beautiful weekend event with lots of reasons for cake!

Tower of Minis

What do 250 mini cupcakes look like? Here you go! These carrot, lemon and red velvet cupcakes are for a party in honor of the University Health Services staff at Cal.

Crossing the Finish Line

A very happy birthday to this 8-year-old racing fan!

Southwestern Flair

Don't worry! The cake isn't spicy or pokey... But it will still go with this first-birthday, Mexican-themed celebration.

Chief Tasting Officer

Behind the scenes, our CTO takes his job very seriously.

Airborne

We're finding out that kids are experts of all sorts of things... This birthday boy sure knows his World War II airplanes. In reviewing photos to be used for cake inspiration, he knew the difference between a Hellcat and an A6M mitsubishi zero plane!

Bright Birthday Cupcakes

Sisters Unite

This birthday girl wanted a cake JUST like her sister's from a few months ago. But even though the cake might look the same, we're sure she'll have her very own unique and special birthday celebration.

Wheels on the Bus

Our favorite 2-year-old wanted to hop on a birthday bus with some of her favorite characters-- she's riding in the back with her big sister, and up front are Gymbo the Clown and her beloved Lulu.

Turtle Time

We love happy return customers! Josie's sister celebrated with the Parthenon, her brother celebrated with some truck cupcakes, and now it's her turn!! And in honor of her reptile themed party, these two chocolate turtles perched on a chocolate cake wish her a very happy 5th birthday.

New Record

To make up for all the cake and frosting we ingest as we're filling all your orders, we've been seen attending 6:00am boot camp at the Ice Chamber in Albany. Our dedicated trainers decided to start the day off right in honor of their son's first birthday (Year of the Golden Pig!)... We've been known to eat cake at some crazy hours, but 6:00AM?! Much more fun than jumping rope!

Chugging Along

An engine cupcake for the birthday girl, train cars for all her friends, and a cake on the side for all those lucky adults!

Phase 2- Camping Cake

Camping at Kirby Cove was an awesome way to celebrate a 5th birthday! This camping cake, including a popsicle stick replica of the Golden Gate Bridge, graham cracker tents and a camp fire, was a lot of fun. The best was when all the kids started pointing to the parts they wanted! It would have been a swiss cheese cake if we had followed strict orders!

Phase 1- Loads of Vehicles

When our own kids have birthdays, we make as many cakes as possible! Phase One of this weekend's birthday festivities is a collection of super cool vehicle cupcakes. Thanks to our guest artist, Sarah, for coming up with the drawings that inspired these!! You should have seen the birthday boy's face... He literally got teary when he saw them. Stay tuned for Phase Two!!
