Happy 3rd Birthday Sugar!

Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? SpongeBob Square Pants! My little Sugar has fallen in love with anything SpongeBob...fortunately she's more into SpongeBob things than the slightly inappropriate show itself. :) SpongeBob is lemon cake (couldn't do pineapple--a family member is allergic) with lemon icing, and vanilla fondant square pants, etc. My Sugar absolutely loved the cake and the lemon was perfect for Spring. Happy 3rd Birthday Sugar Pie!

Garden Wedding

I love that brides are choosing fun flavors for their wedding cakes now...nothing boring or traditional about chocolate fudge cake with three thick layers of homemade peanut butter frosting! The tiers were covered in vanilla fondant, and decorated with red royal icing lilies and tiny icing flowers with edible pearl centers. I have to admit, when the bride said she wanted me to use pillars, I wasn't keen on the idea...you just don't see them much anymore. But I found square clear acrylic ones instead of round white plastic, and then filled them with red glass stones. They turned out really pretty!

I got up early this morning to deliver the cake to Leu Gardens, and the weather was just beautiful. A perfect day for a wedding! Mr. Sugar and Spice said our little Sugar wasn't too happy when she woke up and realized not only was Mommy gone, but the cake was too--and she REALLY wanted the cake. :)

I'm very happy with the way the cake turned out, and the bride was too...she was thoughtful enough to text me during the reception to let me know how happy she was! I'm honored she trusted me so much with such an important day in her life!

My Spice is Growing UP!

I can't believe my little Spice, the reason I started decorating cakes in the first place, is already 8 years old! She is absolutely obsessed with balloons, and loves the scene in the movie UP! when the music starts and the rainbow of balloons fly up above Mr. Fredrickson's house. I covered a board in sky blue fondant with white clouds. There were dozens of mini cupcakes for balloons and a house shaped cake as well. I loved all the colors and the look of a floating house and balloons! This is definitely one of my favorites so far! Happy Birthday Spice!
