Vanessa's Sweet 16

Cake season begins again

After a much needed break from cakes, I'm finally getting back in the swing of things. I've started to get orders for spring and summer cakes and my calendar is filling up quickly. I'm excited for a sweet 16 cake I have for next weekend. The cake shown below was a perfect way to start. It was for a double birthday party.

Embossed wedding cake

This cake was so enjoyable to make because it had such a unique style with emossed Mahendi shapes highlighted with small crystals.

Baby shower cake and Grinch cake

Game Night Cake

This was a fun cake for a game night. Half chocolate, half white cake. FUN!

Birthdays and such....

These cakes were for a couple of cute girls' birthdays. Talyssa was turning one and had the tiered princess cake along with the small smash cake, and Josie was turning two and wanted a cake for a small party.

Halloween Birthday Cake

This cake was so fun to make! It was for a Halloween/Birthday/Murder mystery (CLUE) party. I loved making all the little weapons for the cupcake toppers (gun, rope, lead pipe, candlestick, knife, wrench). Makes me want to do some more Halloween cakes, that's for sure!

Latest happenings...

Since it's been awhile since I've posted my newest cakes, here are THREE! :-)

Missionary Farewell

Daniel leaves on his mission to Mexico very soon! Here was the cake I made for the farewell open house.....

Nursing Cake

Congratulations to Michele for getting into nursing school! We are so proud of you!!

Mickey Mouse Cake

Wedding Cake... I'm pretty sure it weighed 100 pounds ++

Sweet baby on the way....

Golf anyone?

Ms. Jewell, the wife of the birthday boy, sent me the sweetest email. I thought I'd post it along with the cake pictures: "Oh my goodness!! Thank you so much. This is the cutest cake I've ever seen. Steve was blown away by it. (You've set a high standard, guess I won't be able to get away with a cake mix anymore...) The detail is incredible. The photo, which is darling, doesn't begin to do it justice. EVERYONE should get a cake like this at least ONCE in their lifetime! THANK YOU AGAIN!!!!!"

More July Celebrations

These are two cakes for July. One is for some huge fans of the University of Florida Gators. They were headed to Vegas to get married, so I sent this cake along with them. The other cake is one my sister-in-law helped me with for a birthday for her friend Amber. She makes a different John Deere themed cake each year.
