P-p-p-poker cake
Poker is a favorite past time of our brother in law so we decided to make a poker cake for his 19th birthday.
He had no idea that we were doing a custom cake for him. In fact, he just wanted “a cake with chocolate chips.” We couldn’t just leave it at that of course, so we definitely whipped something more fun together. He was so surprised and the words, “that is a sexy cake,” may have been said.
Homemade ice cream cake!!
For Carolyn’s husband’s birthday party she decided to go a new route and made a homemade ice cream cake! So many people thought it was a Dairy Queen cake – it was that similar!
Instead of the Oreo base, she used a brownie topped with Skor bar.
This was definitely a hit and sure to be a repeat at many birthdays to come!
Birthday cake
Carolyn made this birthday cake for her husband. Blue is his favorite color and to spruce things up, edible stars were tossed on top. The kids loved this cake!

Tinkerbell
Alexis was very excited when one of her friends asked her to make a Tinkerbell cake for his daughter who was turning 7. (Finally – a “girly” cake hehe! – and who DOESN’T love Tinkerbell!??)
This was a two tiered Marble cake with chocolate frosting.
The Tinkerbell topper wasn’t hand made – it was a candle purchased from Michaels.
Alexis says: “It was a lot of fun making this cake. I didn’t get to see the birthday girl’s reaction when she saw it but I hope she loved it!!”

Rubiks Cube Birthday!
Alexis’s boyfriend is an avid Rubiks cuber so when Carolyn & Alexis were planning his birthday cake they knew it had to be a Rubik’s Cube!
Her boyfriend was especially happy to see that the “cake is even solvable” (meaning the tiles were strategically placed and the cake could be solved like a regular cube).
It was a hit!
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
The son of one of Alexis’s friends was turning 2 so when she was asked to do his birthday cake she knew it had to be extra special!
Little Girls Love Cupcakes!
In the last post we asked who didn’t love cupcakes – and we know for sure young girls DO love cupcakes! Especially cake sized cupcakes! Here are a few cake sized birthday cupcakes for a few lucky little ladies!
Pink & starry:
This was for our cousin’s daughter’s first birthday. It was a cake feast: Large cupcake cake, regular sized sprinkle cupcakes & cake balls!
