I love themes that bring me back to my childhood and this Lisa Frank set did just that!

*not my work - these are just inspo
I want to get better at sculpted cakes, and the only real way to do that is to make them. 🎂

Character cakes. Shaped cakes. Gravity defying designs. Fondant and modeling chocolate work. These are skills I'm actively building, and I'm opening 2 Skill Builder spots per month so I can practice on real orders at a real discount.

You get a custom cake that normally starts at $400+ for a fraction of the price. I get the practice I need. And you get to be part of the glow-up era of The NB Bakery. 👀✨

✅ Tier 1 (character, shaped & fondant work) — materials + $90

✅ Tier 2 (gravity defying & complex builds) — materials + $125

Same care as every order I send out — just with honest pricing while I level up my craft.
Interested? DM me or drop a 🎂 below. Only 2 spots open each month!

Cakes shown are just examples of what I would like to do!

I know, I know....AI is bad. But the urge to light my customers cake was really strong. So to keep myself from my intrusive thoughts, I let AI light the candles for me🫣😂 Don't hate me, I promise it's still the exact same cake lol

🎂✨ LET'S TRADE! ✨🎂
I'm opening up trades again! Custom baked goods from The NB Bakery in exchange for things I'd love:
🖋️ Tattoo credit (I'm basically an open canvas and so is hubby)
💙 Hair coloring services
🧱 Lego sets (sealed preferred, open is fine if every piece is there) or bulk Lego pieces
🐕 Bluey items (we have a lot, but there's always room for more)
🎨 Custom items for my business
👕 Vintage tees and sweatshirts: 80s/90s cartoon and gaming culture, nerdy or colorful. Holes and stains are totally fine, I'll probably distress them anyway
🧸 Unopened toys for a 5-year-old girl and 8 and 9-year-old boys
Have a service or something not on the list? Ask! You never know what mood I'm in, and I love a good deal. 😂
👇 HOW TO TRADE
Comment TRADE and I'll DM you to work out a fair swap. Tell me what you're offering and what kind of cake you have in mind!
👯 TAG A FRIEND, GET $5!
Know a tattoo artist, hair stylist, Lego hoarder, vintage-tee collector, or small business that would be a great fit? Tag them in the comments! If I work out a confirmed trade with them, you get a $5 credit with The NB Bakery. 💖
Spots are limited, so don't wait!
