Minis en Mass

Our latest batch of mini cupcakes-- red velvet, chocolate with cinnamon frosting, vanilla with lemon frosting, and carrot cake.

Way Back to Ancient Times

Here you see Athena on the steps of the Parthenon. A perfect cake to celebrate the birthday of one very enthusiastic fan of Greek mythology.

Happy Valentine's Day!

We hope it was sweet...

Speaking of-- check out our sweet new mini cupcake holders!

It's a Band-Aid

Wishing a speedy recovery to a speedy lady...

Confetti Cupcakes

Good, old fashioned birthday fun!

Seeing Red

Mmmmmmmmm..... We love red velvet.

Where Am I?

An orienteering map to help navigate from one side of this applesauce cake to the other... Or maybe to the nearest gym!

Under Construction

Digging holes, moving dirt and smoothing roads... Hopefully the busy construction workers will take a minute to wish this little guy a very happy birthday-- and maybe even stop to enjoy a piece of carrot cake!

Baby Cakes

These bib cupcakes helped to shower a mom-to-be with all kinds of baby love. Vanilla cupcakes with butter cream frosting...

Taste of the Bass

Happy 10th birthday to the School of the Madeleine's band... This is ONE big cake!!

Many Minis

It's official... Our favorite, favorite, favorite thing to do is combine lots of flavors of delectable mini cupcakes to make irresistible trays of treats! Have a luncheon coming up? A staff meeting? An open house? These are the perfect bite-sized desserts for any occasion. (Flavors pictured here include chocolate cupcakes with cinnamon frosting, green tea cupcakes with green tea cream cheese frosting, vanilla cupcakes with lemon cream cheese frosting, and chocolate cupcakes with espresso frosting).

Bob the Builder

Can we bake it? Yes, we can!!

(Sorry, couldn't resist...)

If I Had a Hammer...

Happy 7th birthday to this aspiring carpenter!

Who Dunnit?

Celebrating their 8th birthdays together, these two girls are big Nancy Drew fans. We hope this cake helps add just the right sweet ending to their Mystery Party...

Crossing the Finish Line

The best part of making this cake was watching the birthday boy and a bunch of his friends just ogling over it! We get so much satisfaction out of creating cakes that help to make lasting memories for kids and adults alike... This one was priceless.

No Disney in MY Kingdom

We enjoyed the challenge of a unique request to do something girly and princessy that didn't use an image from Disney... We came up with a strawberry cake with cream cheese frosting, and a simple, happy princess in a very pink kingdom, of course. The details on her crown and wand were particularly fun.

Goooooooooal!

Such a fun way to use a round cake pan! This vanilla cake with cream cheese frosting is made for a special soccer player on her birthday...

1st Bulldozer

It's never too early to start loving trucks!

Ho Ho Ho!

These present cakes for the holidays are red velvet inside. We hope everyone is having a very happy holiday season. Here's to lots of fun cakes in 2008!

Strange Combinations

Every so often, we find ourselves making a cake that combines two themes that you'd never imagine could go together (see below for our penguin on American Idol). This cake is for two different people-- with two different hobbies. Luckily they didn't want two different flavors of cake! We made a chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting, using white and milk chocolate for the piano keys and marzipan for the garden veggies...

Art.com

These cupcakes were made for an Art.com marketing meeting. We loved incorporating their colors and design into our treats.

Holiday Mini Cupcakes

We made these cupcakes for a preschool fundraiser, and they went like hot cakes! We had green tea with cream cheese frosting, mocha with espresso frosting and chocolate covered espresso beans, chocolate with peppermint frosting and mints, and gingerbread with cream cheese frosting and gingerbread cookies. These would be great for a holiday buffet or a holiday work party!

5-4-3-2-1... Blast off!

This Buzz Lightyear-inspired rocket ship was made using two layers of chocolate cake and LOTS of frosting for the smoke and flames. We made the fins out of fondant, which were then painted silver... Up, up and away!

If the shoe fits...

This 4-layer white cake with strawberry filling houses Cinderella, Prince Charming, and the Fairy Godmother-- each peeking out a window. We were happy that gravity didn't take over and that there was extra strawberry filling!

Three Cupcakes and a Baby

Angry, happy and pacified. Half the cupcakes are Dark Chocolate Cinnamon and half are Coconut Lime. Welcome baby girl!

Red Velvet Cupcakes

We're testing out some red velvet cake recipes before some holiday orders we have on the books. Our poor families and friends are going to have to be our taste testers!

Traditional too

Many of our cake requests so far have been for specific themes or characters. We are happy to make just your traditional old cake too! Here are some cakes we made during our decorating class.

We aim to please...

Every client has a different request, and we're happy to work with them all. This birthday girl loves LOTS of frosting, coffee-flavoring and the color purple. We incorporated extra-thick layers of mocha frosting and some pretty purple accents into this cake.

Super Sized

Our friend requested unfrosted cupcakes for the kids at her daughter's birthday party, so every one could decorate her own... For the adults, we made this GIGANTIC cupcake (four layers of chocolate cake and two huge batches of buttercream frosting). The finishing touches of sprinkles and a marzipan cherry really add to the final look.

The Kids Join the Action

You can imagine how hard it is for our two 4 year olds to watch us make all these cakes that are not for them. Especially since they think everything in the world revolves around them. So this time around, we piled all the scraps on a big plate, gave them each a bowl of frosting and set out a billion kinds of sprinkles. Needless to say, they had a ball...

Queen of Hearts

Phew. This was a challenge... Amazing that it came out so well in the end after part of the cake fell apart, 4 pounds of frosting had to be dumped (don't even ASK about the microwave experiment!), and a flashlight got dropped on it. All worth it to help a very special 90-year-old bridge player celebrate her birthday!

The Wilton Way

We are taking a cake decorating class, sponsored by Wilton (a HUGE cake decorating supply company). Tonight's class required us to practice these itty, bitty stars in insane quantities. When you see a whole teddy bear cake covered with them, it kind of makes you want to throw up. But I have to admit, I ended up liking the outcome here. Chocolate cake with strawberry filling and vanilla buttercream frosting. Hence, the neopolitan ice cream sandwich.

Hello Pink, I mean Kitty

It's good that one of us has a girl and one of us has a boy. It makes us more prepared for any request that comes our way. Can you guess which one of us already had pink frosting gel in the cabinet? But even this mom who has NO pink in her house finds this Hello Kitty cake unexpectedly appealing!

Happy 60th

Lots of swirls and lots of fun colors in these cupcakes for a 60th birthday party. We know we've reached a new point in our business when we're bringing "the goods" to a customer in a hotel parking lot for delivery! I guess next we'll be wearing disguises. :)

Spooooooky!

Getting into the spirit of Halloween...

A VERY specific request!

"I want a white whale with a pink bow and a pink leash and pink ribbon around the cake and sparkles. Oh, and I want it to look blue so you can tell the whale is swimming in blue water." Coming right up!

Well Balanced Cupcakes

Delicious (and really pretty, if we may say so ourselves) green tea cupcakes with green tea cream cheese frosting! Not a bad way to wrap up a work meeting the day after your birthday...

Fairy cake

Lucky girl, got the super-pink fairy cake all to herself. She ate all around the edges, keeping her fairy safe! We also made cupcakes for the rest of the guests...
