Ms. Audrey is engaged.

Our dear friend, real estate agent and wonderful Girl Scout Leader is getting married! Audrey and Derek were thrown a great engagement party, which of course I brought the cake. I tossed around many ideas and found this adorable cake on my favorite website http://www.cakecentral.com/.

Their cake was a ring box covered in black mocha fondant, red gumpaste roses and a huge "diamond ring". They loved the cake as did all the guests. And I had a great time making this cake. Their wedding cake will be a amazing winter wonderland cake.

My Baby is now 16

June 14th my baby turned 16. After the many moods of a teenager he finally decided on a Los Angeles Dodgers baseball cap. I have never done a baseball cap but I am up to a challenge, and who says no to the birthday wishes of her son. He is also not really a cake fan, doesn't care for the typical cake flavors. He choose key lime cake with lemon butter cream. The cake was covered in fondant and the logo was hand cut. The cake board was made to look like the baseball diamond with hand piped grass, graham cracker "clay" and the bases. I am so proud of this cake, it is now my favorite cake I have made. I am also very proud of my son, Happy Birthday Alex. And Bobbie sorry it wasn't a Rays cap.

I am back.....

We purchased our new home in Feb. and have been so busy with it that I haven't blogged at all! I have been busy with cakes. In April I had 2 orders for tiered cakes for the same day. Once we got the logistics of the delivery scheduled I was ready to bake.

Hubby said he hadn't seen so many baked cakes in the same room. There was a total of 10 cakes sitting on the table. CAKE OF ALL SHAPES, SIZES, COLORS AND FLAVORS.

The first cake was a 2 tier birthday cake for my online friend Lauren. She wanted it simple and pretty with lots of colorful daisies. The cake was white butter cream iced, vanilla cake with raspberry filling!

After Laurens cutie cake I moved onto the 3 tier monster. This cake was awesome to make. Christina is a 16 year old who knows exactly what she wants. She drew the picture of the cake she wanted and we went from there. Her theme was 80's retro, including florescent colors and black lights.

Her flavor choices were vanilla with raspberry, chocolate with peanut butter and chocolate with Oreo filling. She requested mocha fondant. I have never flavored fondant and didn't even want to try that with a cake this size. A quick google search turned up this awesome site..http://www.fondarific.com/products.html. A quick call was placed and all my questions answered. I placed and order for the mocha fondant and 2 days later it was at my door! Now I hate coffee so I wasn't going to taste this fondant but my friends that did taste it LOVED it. The fondant was dyed black with Americolor gel and I was ready to go.

The fondarific covered the cake beautifully and easily. Added all the neon swirls, rope borders and the great candles and the cake was ready to go.

The deliveries took 2 hours as Alex and I circled the bay! Was a great delivery with my 15 yr old carrying the cake to the second floor of the amazing Isla Del Sol country club.
