Baby shower cakes are always fun to make, and they can vary widely in style, color, and theme. Here’s one we did a few weeks ago where they wanted it classy and elegant, but still clearly for a baby shower. We adorned the cake with edible, hand-made whimsical flowers and topped the whole thing with hand-made, edible baby sneakers. Who doesn’t love baby shoes?! 
Back in January 2012, we made a baby shower cake to welcome baby Lincoln into the world. Now, his Mommy is throwing a baby shower for a friend so she asked us to make the Hawaiian-themed cake.
We covered the cake in a slightly ivory fondant, made an edible bamboo border around the base of each tier, and covered the cakes with tropical orange & pink hibiscus flowers.
Camryn decided to celebrate her 5th birthday with a Garden Tea Party so we created a girly, elegant cake for her. The cake was iced in light blue buttercream with buttercream grass, leaves & stems. The flowers themselves were made of fondant, and we topped the whole thing with a miniature edible tea set.
Happy 5th Birthday, Camryn!
Last weekend, we had the honor of making a luau-themed cake for an office family picnic. The office hosting the get-together happened to be Mel’s husband’s office…but that’s just a minor detail. *wink*
In any event, the cake was fun to make! They gave us free reign to decorate it however we pleased. And we gave them this tantalizing sneak peek on Facebook.
Birthday season is here for our family! All of my daughter’s playmates are turning 1 year old between now and October so brace yourself for quite a few 1st birthday cakes in the upcoming weeks. They’ll vary from rainbow colors to baseball to garden-themed to cutesy owls. I can’t wait!
Last weekend, Camila turned 1! Her parents chose a garden-themed cake with flowers, bumble bees, and lady bugs – all in fun, soft colors.
Did you catch her Sneak Peek on Facebook?
Well, here’s the whole cake:
In our last blog post, we talked about creating edible figures to go on an out-of-state cake. It’s a way for us to still be involved in the birthday party since we can’t ship an entire birthday cake. Now we’ve got another solution!
Hold your party here! That’s what Gail did! They held a baby shower in Seminole, FL so they were able to pick up the cake on the way. Yay!
Last weekend, I posted on Facebook a sneak peek of a cake we made for an adorable little girl turning 1!
And now for the great reveal of the rest of the cake….drum roll please…
Ta da!
Melanie sat down with Cristina, the birthday girl’s Mommy, in December to design this cake. The bottom tier was spice cake with cream cheese filling, and the top tier was vanilla cake with cookies ‘n cream cream cheese filling (read that again, that’s a lot to take in). It was Cristina’s idea to combine our cream cheese filling with crushed Oreos for a rich, finger-licking filling!
The cake was decorated with fondant zebra print and whimsical flowers, an edible hot pink bow, and an edible topper. The smash cake was decorated with pink buttercream and black fondant zebra stripes.
Welcome to Eva’s 1st birthday party!
I love when the party planner (Cristina in this case) has a clear vision while she organizes the party and designs the cake. The cake matched the party decor perfectly!
Eva’s high chair of honor read, “I am 1.”
And here’s the cake table! Cristina even gave Eva a practice run with a smash cake for a photo shoot and displayed the photos on the cake table – so cute!
And Cristina was kind enough to email us later to say:
“Thank you so much I loved the cake!!! So did everyone else. It tasted great and looked so beautiful. I will be using you again for my next occasion.”
