3-D Cakes



 
I hear all the time from customers how much they enjoy watching the cake shows on television. And, you know, my staff and I love watching them too. It is so much fun to see the crazy and extreme cake designs.  That's why we love it when some one comes in to ask for something other than a typical sheet cake.

I have a talented team of cake decorators that are ready to bring your idea to life in cake. Stop by and let's brain storm something extra special your next occasion!  There isn't anything I've seen on those shows that my staff & I couldn't do. 

We do dream in sugar, you know!

BRYN'S 12TH BIRTHDAY

I can't believe my baby is 12! Bryn came to the bakery last week to work on her birthday cake. Her design this year was from the movie, UP. She loves that movie and designed this cake all by herself.

 
The cake was iced in buttercream, then a cloud background was airbrushed on the sides.




Bryn searched the internet for the right pictures of the characters and then we printed them onto edible paper.


The back of this cake even had a design from the movie. She put Paradise Falls here and the topper was the house, of course.


HAPPY  BIRTHDAY BRYN!
