Here's some of this weeks highlights. First, there are some red velvet cake pops. These make a great favor! They can also be bagged and ribboned. Next is a Juicy couture handbag. It was tricky but i'm pleased with the results. Then, there's a chicago blackhawks themed cake. My clients son is a big hawks fan so this was perfect! Last is another baby basket but this time it's for a girl (finally!). I love the bows and little shoes. Have a sweet week everyone!

October is over already? Boo!







Here's a few cakes from this weekend. First, is a pablo cake. He's a character from the backyardigans. Next is ANOTHER baby basket. This one is a tad different. The theme matches the babies bedding. Next are the halloween cakes from this weekend! I LOVE halloween and these cakes were so fun to make!!! Last is a horse themed cake for a 50th bday. I have a feeling me and my new client are going to become good friends as she is in culinary school.

It's all about Labels and teddy bears! *updated*

This week i'm featuring 2 cakes. The first is a cake for Daniel, who LOVES designer labels (or so i'm told) He asked me to duplicate a Gucci wallet and I did my best. I think it turned out pretty awesome. The signature Gucci green and red stripe works as a border at the bottom too! The second is a baby shower cake with a teddy bear theme. The bear turned out adorable! Both are iced in buttercream :)




These emails always make my day! I just received this email from Daniel.
"HI, I just wanted to thank you for the awesome birthday cake! Not only did it look great it tasted even better and I will be getting the word out around Naperville to contact you for any cakes in the future. Thanks again!"

Another busy week!





This week was hectic but fun! First, there was a very dainty tinkerbell cake. Luster dust made it extra sparkly and a tinker bell candle was added after delivery. The second there was a 2 tiered cake topped with a canon camera for a photography students graduation party. Then, there was a cake for a first birthday. I'm not usually a fan of sheet cakes but to get the amount of servings the customer needed, I had to. The theme matched the invitations. I think it came out pretty cool! Lastly, I did a burberry handbag for an old friend. The plaid was tedious but I think my patience paid off. Thanks for looking!!

Of course I only got 1 pic from this weekend!

If i'd gotten pictures of ALL the cakes I did, I wouldn't hold true to the procrastinator in me! Haha! Hopefully, i'll get pics of the cakes I did this weekend. Somehow, anyway. Here's the 1 picture of a cake I did on sunday. D-D-D-Dora!!! This was for a co worker of my cousin. My cousin "happened to mention" that I was Dora for halloween a few years ago to the customer so she asked (jokingly, of course) If I would deliver the cake in my Dora get up. I knew I should have kept that costume! HAHAHAHA! So here's the Dora cake along with cookie favors and a gratuitous picture of me in my Dora costume for you to LOL at!
