Firefighter Cake

This was a cake for the graduating class of 2012 at the Arvada Fire Department.  I wish that I had time to add a few more details to the helmet, but over all, I was pretty happy with it!

Happy Birthday Warren!

Happy 1st Birthday Drew!!!

This was a banana cake with peanut butter frosting for the cutest little 1 year old I know.  Happy Birthday Drew!

Anniversary Cake

This is a cake that I made for a couple who was celebrating their first anniversary.  They lost their original wedding cake in an unfortunate freezer incident, so I made them a new one.  This is a vanilla cake with vanilla cream cheese filling and buttercream icing.  It is covered with a layer of fondant, and the flowers are also made of fondant.

So, if you lost your anniversary cake, or if you are like me and you ate it on your 1 week anniversary (no self control here, apparently), call us and we can make you a new one.

Two Hearts Wedding Cake

This was a vanilla cake that we made for a couple who was getting married in Lyons.  Their theme was "Two Hearts".   We decided to make a three tier vanilla cake for them, with their custom glass topper to complete the design (it's hard to see in this picture).

Congratulations Jake and Jen!

Cake for Tom Chenault

Tom Chenault was generous enough to ask me to do a cake for his training event today.  This is a simple design, with his logo and a gray band around the base of the cake.  I hope everyone enjoys the training today!

Its a Girl

This is a cake for an office baby shower party.  It is a white cake with white chocolate ganache filling and pink vanilla buttercream icing.  The bow, ribbon and baby decorations are made of fondant, but the cake itself is just iced with buttercream.

Congratulations momma!

Fall Birthdays!

Fall is definitely in the air today.... and in the refrigerator!  My favorite swimming group asked me to do a birthday cake for the folks with fall birthdays, so I went with simple pumpkins.  They are made out of fondant and buttercream icing.  Happy Fall everyone.  Start thinking about your halloween costumes!

Lego Star Wars Cake

No. Try not. Do... or do not. There is no try. 

When my nephew asked me to do a lego Star Wars cake, I knew a trip to Target was in my future.  After doing some "research" in the toy aisle (I love my job), I was ready to go.  I made a 3 tier vanilla cake with sprinkles and vanilla frosting.  The cake is covered in rolled fondant and hand made fondant figures...

 Mickey Mouse Darth Maul?  Ha ha.  This was apparently a bad angle... but maybe it's a good look on him?

I had so much fun making this cake.  More pictures to come...  Happy Birthday Jack!!

Engaged!

I am seriously in love with these kinds of cakes!   This couple was getting engaged on a hot air balloon, so I was asked to do a cake for the celebration afterwards.  Her mom sent me pictures of the balloon as well as pictures of the couple, and this is what I came up with.  

I even used a little pearl sprinkle to make a ring on her left hand. So cute!

Here is the actual balloon

We have been getting a lot of requests for buttercream cakes lately, so here is a mini version of a buttercream wedding cake.  These are vanilla cakes, with raspberry cream cheese filling and buttercream icing.  The flowers are daffodils, which are made out of royal icing.  

Graduation Cake

This was Poppy Cake's very first boston cream 'pie'.  It is a vanilla cake with vanilla custard filling (YUM!) and chocolate ganache icing.  So.... Delicious!   Congratulations on your graduation Aubrie!

Golden Anniversary

Some friends of ours just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary!  I was so honored that they chose us to do the cake for their "golden" anniversary party.  This is a sour cream almond cake with raspberry cream cheese filling and buttercream frosting.  

Welder's cake

This was a cake for a gun enthusiast, who works at a metal shop.  I went for a 'blued steel' look on the outside of the cake, and just created a target and bullets for the top.  

Birthdays!

Today was all about twos!  We had two birthday cakes for two, two year olds!  The first cake was for Callie.  She loves Yo Gabba Gabba, so we made her a Brobee cake.  I have never seen the show, but research for this cake was entertaining to say the least... and now I know to eat my fruits and vegetables... Who knew that was important?!  

The second cake was a dinosaur cake for Korbin.  

Happy Birthday Callie and Korbin!!!  

Skier Cake

This cake was a lot of fun!  It was a 3 tiered carrot cake for the couple's rehearsal dinner.  They asked me to do a ski themed cake, because that is something they really enjoy doing together.  I had to channel some winter-y thoughts to dream up this cake, since its been 100 degrees out...

To go with the ski theme, I made a ski slope sign for the top of the cake.  Instead of black diamonds, I put two hearts pointing toward the slope.

Congratulations Phil and Erin!

Happy Birthday!

Cappuccino Cake

This is a 4 tier mocha cake with espresso buttercream filling and dark chocolate buttercream icing.  It was then carved into the shape of a coffee mug, covered in fondant and painted to give it a more rustic look.  Fondant napkins were wrapped around the base of the cake.

Happy Birthday Sally!

30th Birthday Cake

This was a chocolate cake filled and frosted with vanilla bean buttercream icing.  It was for a surprise 30th birthday, so we wanted to make the cake feel like a surprise party.  We are so happy to have been part of this celebration!  Happy Birthday Mel!
