Smash Cake!


Our first smash cake! Who doesn't love watching a baby dig into cake on their first birthday? So when sweet little Elias turned one we were super excited to make his cake! The party had a moose theme and of course the cake has to match! We just think the baby moose is adorable, but not as adorable as Elias tearing into his cake! For everyone else, moose decorated cupcakes. The cake & cupcakes were white with buttercream icing. The moose are made from chocolate fondant.





Isn't he the cutest!?

Here comes the bride!


I am in love with this cake!! Although stressful at times, it was really fun to make! I felt like a wedding dress designer! The all white design is really classic and pretty but it definitely could be made to look like a particular dress, if desired. It is a white cake with buttercream, covered in fondant (lots of fondant!)

Tool Box


Making a 3D cake was a little intimidating, mostly because this was our first time attempting it. This was a good one to try as our first because it is a little on the simple side (hopefully not too simple, tho!) There are some rough edges but, as a whole, it is so cute! The client pretty much gave us the freedom to design it as we saw fit which was so helpful because it eliminated A LOT of stress. It is a marble cake with buttercream icing, covering in fondant.  The tools are also fondant.

Twinkle Twinkle


Whew! For reasons we still can't figure out, this cake was a huge challenge! Most of our troubles arose when it came time to transport the cake. While we aren't totally satisfied with the final product we do love the idea of it and think it turned out as well as it could, considering the issues we had.  It was for a gender unknown shower so we love the incorporation of traditional girl and boy colors. The cake is classic white with buttercream icing.

Lil Wolfpup



The pressure was on for this cake.  As an alumnus of North Carolina State University, I (Jessica) really wanted our first NC State cake to be a great one.  I think we succeeded! This was our first attempt at making baby shoes and they turned out so good! The polka dots are perfect for a baby shower cake and we just love the "lil wolfpup" phrase, which was suggested by the client. It is a chocolate cake with buttercream icing.

Flower Power


I wanted to try this design for a while and thought my best friend's birthday was the perfect occasion! The best part of this cake is that almost any flaw can be covered. The flower was really simple to make and adds a girly touch! It is a strawberry cake and buttercream frosting.

All Tangled Up



When little Katelyn requested a Tangled cake we were so excited.  Little did we know this would be our most time-consuming one, yet! But, we could not be happier with the oh-so-cute tower and it was definitely well worth the work and time put in! Katelyn loved it, too! It is a strawberry cake with buttercream frosting.  



Katelyn & her cake!
