Lex was asked to make a cake in the shape of a BlackBerry for someone at work who was celebrating 4 years with the company. This is a comparison shot to the real deal.

Diva Mode!
We were asked to make a “girly” themed birthday cake with a handbag & shoes. These cakes are always so much fun because we get to tap into our “diva” mode!
This was a 2 tiered marble cake, accented with lipstick, nailpolish, a black handbag & gumpaste shoes.

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!!”

Elegant Wedding Cake
Here is an elegant wedding cake that Carolyn made for one of her friends. They wanted simple yet exquisite which is definitely what they got!
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!
XBOX 360
One of Alexis’s coworkers asked for an XBOX 360 cake for her friends’ son and this is what transpired.
The buttercream frosting inside the cake was also XBOX green!
The big 3-0
Here are a couple of cakes the girls did for each of their friends’ 30th birthday.
The first cake was for Carolyn’s friend who loves anything girly! We made sure to use funky colors and topped the cake with a shoe and a clutch. When Carolyn delivered the cake, the birthday girl was ecstatic about it. That kind of reaction is why we love making these cakes!
The next cake was for Alexis’s friends’ 30th birthday. Her husband loved the Mickey Mouse cake we did for their son so he asked Alexis to do his wife’s 30th birthday cake. She knew Alexis would be making it but had no idea what it would be and was pleasantly surprised with the theme since the birthday girl is very much a Sex in the City fan!
The cake topper was a Strawberry Champagne Jello shot in a martini glass. :)
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!

Boy oh Boy
There seem to have been a lot of boys born in the past year. Below are a few of the baby shower cakes we’ve done – and they were all for boys!
The gift of cake
This was a beautiful present cake Carolyn made that her friends got to enjoy. What is better than the gift of delicious cake?
Dreaming of the Beach
Alexis made this beach scene cake inspired by the upcoming trip she was taking to Dominican Republic.
It was a great way to pass the time only to get closer to the upcoming trip!
