A "Caffeinated" Groom's Cake
Stephen LOVES coffee, and that love is reflected in his chosen groom cake. A coffee mug cake - chocolate cake with mocha frosting and chocolate covered expresso beans for decor. Congrats to you and your bride!
Llama Birthday Party
Anika loves books and loves her Llama books. So when her 2nd birthday came, Momma knew what kind of cake she would want!
A Stroller Centerpiece
Ms. Rita wanted a cake with a baby in a stroller for a baby shower she was hostessing. Unfortunately, I had to be out of town that particular weekend, so we decided that I would make a cake "dummy" for her centerpiece. This is NOT cake but styrofoam covered by fondant, topped with her stroller.
A Summer Celebration
The Women's Ministry celebrated the end of summer with a "Southern Summer Celebration." The centerpieces and desserts were one in the same! Take a look at the "cool" cupcakes!

A Barnyard Birthday for Brody
Mindcraft Cake
When Nicholas' mom contacted me about doing his birthday cake, I knew nothing about the theme of his party....Minecraft? What was THAT? So after a little Googling and a little advice from a grandson, I developed a cake based on Minecraft, the video game!
A Fisherman's Cake
His daughter KNEW he wouldn't want a cake for this birthday, but she figured that if he WAS going to get a cake [and he WAS], it should be based on his favorite hobby - FISHING!

Rachel's Sweet 16th!
Rachel and Mamaw knew only a very special cake would do for Rachel's 16th birthday! They discussed and discussed; they planned and they planned. Bright colors, curly cues, and polka dots -- LOTS of polka dots! And THIS is what they came up with! Happy 16th, dear Rachel!

A "Dummy" Cake!
I see all kinds of techniques and cake designs on the internet but rarely have any time to just practice. But today was just one of those days....no cakes due and no specific plans for the day. So I used my cake "dummies" [styrofoam cake tiers] to try some things I think are lovely -- pleating, quilting, and stenciling fondant. It was great fun, and NO PRESSURE!
A Sailing Birthday!
Paula loves sailing, for sure! So when she turned 18, her birthday cake needed to reflect that love!
A Princess Castle Cake
Artstic Cake for Olivia!
Olivia and her friends celebrated her birthday at ALL FIRED UP, a local ceramic-painting studio. So Mom want a cake appropriate for the celebration!
