Your Late Night LOL! 🤣

Thankful. Grateful. Blessed.

If you had told me 22 years ago that this is where I was headed, I’d have told you “no way!” A little hobby I decided to give a go at that blossomed and grew into so much more than I could have begun to imagine.

By my rough calculations, I have completed well over 8,000 cakes and safely completed well over 2,300 deliveries with so few complications I can count them on my hands. I have watched babies grow into adults. I have watched families begin and grow. I have been a part of so many special events and memories, I’ve lost count. I’ve become a part of many of your families and have been shown a tremendous amount of love and support. Many of you have watched my own children grow. Many of you have watched me grow. If you haven’t already heard me say it, know that my favorite part of this job has been the countless smiles I’m given as I walked out to reveal your personalized creations. And in these past few weeks, I’ve come to see just how much y’all have loved me. And I mean me. Not the cakes or the little fondant creations. Me. AND my kiddos. And for that I am so utterly thankful. The truth is that without y’all, none of this would have been possible. And so I say “thank you”. Know that y’all have helped put a roof over our heads. You’ve helped to put food on our table. You’ve helped buy uniforms and braces and cars and shoes and so much more. You’ve supported this small business and in doing so, you helped this mama give those kids so very much. And I thank God for each and every one of you.

Boy has it been one heck of a wild ride. Lots of looooong days. Many many sleepless nights. I won’t say it’s been easy. It hasn’t been. But the best things in life never are.

So as I close out this chapter and begin a new one, I’m looking forward to the work and challenges I will inevitably face. I embrace them knowing that God is leading and I am following, even if I can’t see the path laid out before me. It’s there. I just have to walk it, even if, at least right now, it’s somewhat blindly holding tightly to my faith.

I know so many of you are sad to see this chapter end, but you’re so happy for me at the same time. I ask that you pray for me. Pray for me to continue to follow His lead. Pray for me as I adjust to the changes and tackle the challenges. Pray for me as I embrace both the excitement of going and the sadness of leaving. It is truly so bittersweet.

And as my last request… post those cake pics for me and leave me a memory. I’d love to smile through the tears as I look back and remember myself.

I promise to check in and keep y’all posted. Y’all do the same for me.

But for now this is Nikki with Frosted Fantasies saying “goodbye and God bless you all.” 💜

Who wants a cake for Easter?!? I have room to do 12-8” round cakes. Decor will be simple and bright spring colors. The price will be $60 cash and carry. Pick up is between 8-12 on Saturday the 8th. 1119 10th street Gretna. Will be offering two flavors. Almond with strawberry cream cheese and chocolate salted caramel. The first 12 people to comment on this post with the flavor they want get them!

PS they will not look like this cake. This is just adding a pic I did of my best friend’s grand baby’s gender reveal cake from this past weekend so this post gets seen and some attention.

Hey y’all! Just wanted to confirm that I am still here! I think a lot of people thought I was leaving sooner than I am! I’ve gotten a lot of messages asking if I am still here. Y’all have me until the end of July! So get those last Nikki cakes in while you can!

Hey y’all! I pray that everyone is enjoying the holiday season with their family and loved ones. I know I am certainly appreciating spending time with those I love more than ever. I’ve come today to make a couple of announcements…

First let me say how much I have enjoyed being a such a special part of so many celebrations throughout the years. I have watched families grow from engagements to weddings to babies growing into big kids. Littles that have grown into bigs. Milestone after milestone. And I have truthfully grown to love so many through the gift that God gave me that allowed me to use an art to provide a life for my 3 amazing children. Many of you know of my long term long distance relationship now marriage and have known the time for me to go be with my husband was coming near. A few of you already know what’s coming next as I announce that I’ll be hanging up my icing spatula and fondant roller at the end of July. It’s so very bitter sweet for me, and I will miss being a part of those milestones, but it’s been a long run and I’m quite ready to move on to the next great adventure in my life.

So… it’s time to get your fill of those Nikki cakes you’ve grown to love. And if you’ve never had the chance to experience your own first hand, this is your chance!

Normally for Christmas, I take off due to the high volume of catering orders going out of the kitchen. But this year I will be doing a limited number of 3 flavors only of simple Christmas cakes. These won’t be custom cakes. But they’ll still be cute and tasty. 8” cakes will be $50. The three flavor options will be: almond cake with strawberry cream cheese filling, my dark chocolate salted caramel cake, and red velvet with cream cheese filling. I typically allow for special request of American butter cream icing on the outside of cakes for those that prefer a sweeter icing, but to streamline production as much as possible for me during the busy Christmas week, I will only be doing Swiss butter cream outside. All orders will be first come first serve and you must send me a pm to order. Once one flavor sells out I will give the option to next in line for another flavor. All orders will have to be picked up between 8-10 am on Christmas Eve morning as I’ll be headed out of town for Christmas with family after.

I’m looking forward to the next few months of creations for y’all! Much much love and Merry Christmas to one and all!

UPDATE: CHRISTMAS CAKES ARE OFFICIALLY SOLD OUT! Wow guys! Literally 12 hours from posting to sell out and I was sleeping most of that time! 😂 Y‘all are amazing! Thank you!

Edit: sold!

Hey yall! I made a mistake and made a cake a weekend early. It’s not a small cake. This isn’t the exact cake because I’m home and just realized my mistake and don’t wanna run back to the shop, but essentially it looks like this. It serves 50-55. Marble cake with cookies and cream filling. Discounted to $100. Anyone got any gatherings they’re attending where they would like to take a precious and delicious cake? First to comment on this original post takes it home!
