A 10-inch vanilla cake sculpted into a heart, then filled and decorated with Swiss buttercream. Of course, sprinkles are a must, too. I loved putting together this meme cake, especially being such a huge SpongeBob gal myself!

Back to making cakes 😁🫶🏻 and starting out adorably with this 10” sculpted chocolate cake featuring Cinnamon Roll from Hello Kitty! Writing on this one was a challenge since I had to use the smallest tip, but I like the end result.

Filled and decorated with both American and Swiss buttercream 🧈

My ONLY August order (and the only order I’ll do until October due to kitchen remodeling…)

A Mystery Machine gender reveal cake 💙💚🧡🤍💜

This heart is sculpted from 2 10” rounds (French vanilla and red velvet), then filled/decorated with Swiss buttercream. Flavors are split down the middle 😁 Of course, the filling and vanilla cake are both dyed to match the baby’s gender!

Everything you see is edible, from the fondant letters to the buttercream flowers on top.

Hello cake eaters!

Both sad and happy news:

Sad news first - I will be putting a pause on accepting new orders for cakes needed in August and September.

Happy news (why?) - I’m a home baker and my kitchen is going through a full remodel 😍 YAY

I am still taking cake orders for later dates. Feel free to reach out if you’ve got a cake you need after September! Until then, happy end of summer!

WOW what a cake! This one was a bumpy road, but I’m so satisfied with the end result 😍✝️ The definition of “trust the process.” This is a 2-tier, 4-layer cake. Top tier is French vanilla, bottom is chocolate. The inside of the cake is filled with Vanilla Bean Swiss Buttercream, then it’s decorated with regular Swiss Buttercream. Since I got to design it, I naturally leaned into the vintage (Lambeth) piping, my favorite part aside from that beautiful cross topper ❤️‍🔥

So beautiful I had to capture it with different lighting 😍🍰

Back again with the handpiped carnations! I love the marble effect with this one, too

🪴🍄‍🟫Bag End🪨🌾

Now THAT is a specialty cake! What a fun job to do. I’m a sucker for LOTR (see previous Smaug cake…!).

The whole thing is comprised of 6 layers, all vanilla and strawberry. The bottom tier is 10” of vanilla, then the middle is 8” of strawberry. The top tier (the house) has 2 layers of both flavors, which were sculpted from 6” rounds.

I did involve some fondant here, as seen around the door, the k**b, the window, and the cobblestones (I marbled those myself)! Everything else, including the pumpkins, is Swiss buttercream.

The Hobbit house from the films and other works included in the screenshots helped to inspire the look of this cake. I could make this cake again and again! What a blast.

3 Golf ⛳️ cakes! 1 8-inch, 2-layer round and 2 pull-aparts

The round is all vanilla and Swiss buttercream, and the cupcakes are a mix of chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla. Of course, Graham cracker crumble was used for dirt. Lastly, the little balls are made and textured from fondant.
