Doreen LOVES Lucy. So, for her surprise cake I went with a vintage colored cake, with a hand painted fondant Lucyhead!

God Bless John!
"Um, Jenny- How do we cut into this??" lmao
So as you can see this is a bible cake. When John first saw it he bypassed it thinking someone had just left their bible on top of the fireplace!
I hand painted each page as well as the tassle and the "Holy Bible" using the silver luster dust.
The cake was a red velvet cake with creamcheese chocolate chip filling. The fondant was a mix of tootsie roll fondant and marshmellow- super YUM-O!
The pictures do not do it justice- the pages had an antique look to them (The flash is picking up on the wrong areas!!) I also added the little crosses in the corners.
Happy 74th birthday John!
Cake Slice... slice for slice :)
Ever wonder why when we go to a wedding, or party, the slices are all so small?
Well, as bakers, it's because we go by the proper serving of a cake. (Sorry guys!)
Alot of times I get the question "But how much cake do you make for this many people?"
It's much easier to answer that question when looking at a guide. For example, Wilton has their own guide - Wilton Cutting Guide (Click Here)
So, for example- wilton explains that one 12 x 18 inch sheet cake (stacked twice) feeds 72 people!
Would never have thought so huh? lol. Now, I want some cake!

Sugar Plum And Flowers... Take Two...
Again do you SEE Momma's rose detail? Love it.. lol... Okay now on to the cuppies!
This is the second order for the adorable Roses. When Susan contacted us she wanted to know if we could make a smooth, but elegant chocolate chip cupcake for her daughter who is expecting her first child.

Roses are in FULL bloom this week! Part 1
Mom's been working all week on TONS of yellow and pink roses! (She's also a perfectionist by the way)
So, when we received two orders in the same week for yellow and pink roses... Mom began to go nuts!
These were for a Bridal Shower for a lovely girl named Ella. Ella's mom had contacted us and said Ella is a HUGE fan of oreo cookies and of cookies and cream cake...
When asked if we could make her some oreo cupcakes that still fit the "Spring" wedding theme of her shower... We were excited!
I wanted to add a picture that would show a closeup of the amount of cookie mom throws into her batter! She does NOT skimp! lol.
Congratulations Ella and Thomas! We hear she brought all the extra home and froze them! xoxo

Disney...Christmas and Gardening... Who Would Have THought!
I was contacted by Christine a while ago about making her Mom a special cake. She asked if there was any way we could combine her favorite things... Christmas, Gardening and (My favorite...Disney!)
So right away I thought- Mickey heads in a garden! But I was a little confused with how to get christmas in there... Until i saw in my head a picket fence! Filled with garland of course!
These Mickey heads are gumpaste. I added alot of sparkle to give it that pixy magic and lots of little hand sculpted flowers and leaves. The top is crushed chocolate cookies with a three layer chocolate cake. Fillings are Chocolate with melted chocolate and Vanilla with real vanilla bean!
