Hi! I'm Regan, Shelbie's cousin, and I love celebrating what she does. I'm always so amazed by her work, by the time and thought she puts into it, and especially by the quality difference between generic store-bought and custom baked goods made only from whole food ingredients. Thank you for your support! It's so fun to see her talents bring other people's visions to life for the moments that need frosting and sweetness to add a little something extra.

Congratulations to the Christensens!! They tied the knot last weekend and celebrated with this beautiful two tier custom cake. Thank you for inviting us to be part of your day!

When we say “custom and homemade,” we mean it. The bride loves strawberry cake, so our top layer is a strawberry cake. We take fresh (or frozen if not in season), and make a homemade compote on the stove to use for flavoring. This makes the flavor fresh, true to taste, and honestly just exquisite. Our homemade buttercream colored white was used to decorate, with the gold cake tray giving it extra shine.

We’d love to work with you! If you have a vision you want to see brought to life and still taste amazing, please consider us for your event! Email us at [email protected] with your information.

This weekend we helped an almost two year old celebrate with her friends and family. Neon cupcakes were part of the birthday theme “Born 2 be Wild!” For the special, we made some wild berry swirled cupcakes and frosting. I always try to decorate the different flavored cupcakes uniquely from each other so they can be separated easily. The chocolate cupcakes were given a leopard print design that took painstaking focus and a steady hand! The vanilla took a classic rose swirl that was beautiful with the neon frosting and edible glitter. Thank you for letting us be part of your celebration!!

Contact us at [email protected] for any July, August, or October orders.

Getting ready for this weekend with some wild berry twist!! What a delicious sweetness to add to the cupcakes.

Coming up on a year since we brought the WILD ONE vision to life for a sweet one year old girl! Tricky making cute animal faces on the cupcakes, had to freeze between layers to make sure the buttercream kept its shape. We had vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream and chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream (the reviews were "this was to die for" ❤️). Then we made shaped sugar cookies to look like monsterra leaves, giraffe, tiger, zebra, and leopard goodies.

Reach out to us for a quote! We make cakes, cookies, breads, pies, and many other delicacies. All frosting is homemade and made with real, whole food ingredients (no fillers).

Hello Everyone!!

I want to take a minute to introduce myself and my wonderful Media Manager, Regan.

I, Shelbie, have been baking and cooking since I was young. I have my BS in Chemistry. Recently, I re-found baking and cooking. Falling in love with cooking as quality time, and baking as an application of analytical chemistry. Learning how each ingredient combines and impacts the whole under certain conditions, I found an outlet for both my creative and scientific mind. Trial and error led to Excel documents and artistic development. I am so lucky to have wonderful support in my life, I was pushed and empowered by special people in my life. I never would have thought I could sell my creations without their encouragement and constructive criticism.

I have had wonderful people getting me to this point, but going at it alone was not sustainable. My dear life-long friend and cousin stepped in to help me with one of my weakest points, media and branding.

Regan Crawford is the creative mind and voice behind most media and posts. Her wonderful heart and creativity makes this all possible.

(From Regan) We just want to thank you for all of your support! It is so special to get to see Shelbie use her talents to create these masterpieces and have them be enjoyed by others. We hope you'll keep us in mind as you have events, birthdays, and holidays to celebrate!
