Thomas The Tank Engine

Rachael — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 06:00:50 +0000

Who’s That Puffing Down the Track? It’s Thomas! This adorable steam engine was the perfect centerpiece to a two-year old’s birthday cake and was so much fun to hand-craft! We even replaced Thomas’ signature number 1 on the engine to a number 2, reflecting the child’s age.

Ski Slope Engagement

Rachael — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 06:00:32 +0000

We enjoy telling stories with cake. This cake depicts a lovely mountain proposal on top of Loveland pass.

We recreated her engagement ring out of poured sugar diamonds and placed it on top where the actual proposal took place. The bride described it as a perfect day with fresh sparkling powder, so we added shimmer and sugar sparkles to the cake.

Noah’s Ark Baptism

Rachael — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 06:00:59 +0000

This cake is just adorable. I love the wood grain texture on the boat. We added hand sculpted animals and included the baby girl as well.

Champagne Scrolls

Rachael — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 06:00:56 +0000

This stunning butter cream cake was adorned with champagne scrolls and gold flourishes. I love the alternating designs on different tiers. The scrolls lead your eye to the center tier of diamonds and pearls. The deep red roses add a touch of elegance and sophistication.

Designer Shoes

Rachael — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 06:00:30 +0000

We had the pleasure of making two different shoe cakes for clients this weekend. The shoes are made entirely out of gumpaste and look like the real thing. No one could tell the difference.

The second shoe cake was made for a bargain shopper that loves Ebay, Goodwill, and designer purses. This cake features a Coach purse and her favorite Croc high heel shoe.

Wine and Cheese

Rachael — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 06:00:35 +0000

Everything you need for a great evening… wine, cheddar cheese, sourdough bread… well okay maybe the mice and spilled wine would ruin it, but those mice sure are cute. The glass of red wine was made of poured sugar and looked quite realistic. And the wood grain board was the perfect base for this cake.

John Deere Tractor Cake

Rachael — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 07:00:01 +0000

Mini tractors are so cute, especially when they are made out of cake. Avalon, one of our new decorators showed off her skills while making a tiny replica of a John Deere tractor. The tractor and grass were made of cake, the wheels are made of cereal treats, and the corn was made from gumpaste.

Cake flavors:

Butter pecan with caramel buttercream

Chocolate Fudge cake with caramel buttercream

Going bananas

Rachael — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 07:00:04 +0000

I adore this cake. It’s such a fun 1st birthday cake. We made the bananas out of dairy free chocolate cake for the little birthday boy to smash into.

Taz Cake

Rachael — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 07:00:32 +0000

We made this Taz cake for a 66th surprise birthday. Taz is popping out of a chocolate cake box and eating through a long list of things this the birthday boy has accomplished and things he’s shared with his family.

Yoda

Rachael — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 07:00:26 +0000

A fully edible Yoda. Yoda’s body is zucchini lime cake with cream cheese filling and his head is rice crispy treats and modeling chocolate. Yoda stands just under 16 inches tall.

Purse cakes

Just a few of our purse cakes from last week.

They are almost too cute to eat!

School’s out for summer

Rachael — Wed, 26 May 2010 07:00:48 +0000

We had several school related cakes this week. They were all fun and a little different.

We recreated a teacher’s desk…

Made two different topsy turvy graduation cakes…

And a 3-D soccer ball graduation cake, yes the ball is cake!

Aghhh… Retirement!

Rachael — Wed, 19 May 2010 07:00:24 +0000

A sheriff’s retirement cake. This gentleman retired and became a real estate agent. We hung his old uniform on the flag pole, crashed his car into the Larimer County Sheriff’s office and scattered his equipment around the yard. I’d say he was happy to give it up.

Congratulations graduates!

Rachael — Fri, 14 May 2010 07:00:11 +0000

Congratulations to all the graduates this year!

One fish, two fish, it’s red fish, not a blue fish.

Rachael — Mon, 03 May 2010 07:00:01 +0000

We love making really creative cakes, especially mad hatter style cakes. This was made for a first birthday, coordinated with the invitation, and included a picture of the birthday boy. Everything was fully edible. The fish was made out of rice cereal treats.

Cake Flavors:

Carrot cake with cream cheese

Vanilla bean with raspberry

Wish it were summer!

Jackie did an amazing job on this flip flop bridal shower cake. It was flawless!

Live Laugh Love

Rachael — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 07:00:16 +0000

One of my favorite sayings and something we put on cakes quite a bit around here. We’ve taken the design from the bridal shower invitation and and turned it into cake and cupcakes.

The invitation…

The cake…

The cupcakes….

The presentation…

Over the Hill!

Rachael — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 07:00:48 +0000

The perfect cake for any biker reaching 50.

Sock Monkeys!

Rachael — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 16:00:11 +0000

Sock monkeys are so cute. And this one is no exception, especially because he’s made out of chocolate! A first birthday celebration deserves a really fun cake. This birthday boy was lucky enough to have two parties. His first “kid” party had these cupcakes…
