Clarit and Cream – Wedding Cake – Pacific Grove, CA
Nicole and Gregg were married this past weekend and I was so excited when they booked us for a cake! They have since relocated to San Diego, but some of you may remember them. (Nicole was the face of the weekend evening news on KION and Gregg was the weekend weather man on KSBW.) They are such an endearing couple and I was excited to present them with a classy, elegant and grand cake.
The cake was deliverd to the Gathering, a darling little cottage house that has been turned into an event venue for intimate events. It was red velvet with cream cheese filling and covered with cream fondant. Sugar roses and petals cascade down the side of the cake. A burgandy (clarit) ribbon circles the base of each cake.
Along with the cake, they ordered 80 of the $250 cookies, (chocolate chips, Hershey’s chocolate and walnuts) as finger food desserts for those who didn’t want cake.
Congratulations Nicole and Gregg!

Mini Oreos – Wedding Cookies – Salinas, CA
When Bekki ordered her Motorcycle Groom’s cake, she also ordered some cookies for her son to have as his own little something “sweet” at their wedding.
I loved making these little goodies. They always turn out so cute and are the perfect finger food dessert for a wedding.

Incredible Hulk – Birthday Cake – King City, CA
This little mini cake was for my amazing hair stylist again. Seriously, he’s one of my best clients. And I adore him. If you ever need a fabulous cut or color, he’s the man. Really, call him HERE and ask for Albert! I love that he orders mini cakes, they are on my list of favorite things to make. They are so cute and….well, MINI!
His little nephew adores the Incredible Hulk and skateboards, so he wanted the Hulk riding a skateboard. Albert (which, by the way, we are now known as the Fabulously Sweet Duo (he’s the fabulous, I’m the sweet….get it?) texted me a picture of his nephew beaming with his cake!
The cake was chocolate with whipped cream filling. The outside is covered with buttercream and airbrushed green. The road is made from fondant and the collapsing wall, skateboard and figurine are all made from gumpaste. The cake board is covered with Incredible Hulk comic strips and posters that were printed out and placed on the board and then covered with suran wrap.
Happy Birthday to the Lil’ Hulk!

Motorcycle Road Trip – Groom’s Cake – Salinas, CA
Bekki used to work with my BFF at the Monterey Coast Brewing Company (you should go there, and eat their food. It’s quite scrumptious). She wanted to surprise her husband with a Groom’s cake at their wedding, and since they are hardcore motorcycle lovers, and tentatively headed to Sturgis for their honeymoon, the cake them was motorcycle road trip.
My assistant (aka my sister, my little worker bee for the week) looked up the information for the road trip info (mileage is approx), made the little ducks out of gum paste and cut out all of the road signs. She also made the trees that went around the cake. The motorcycle is made out of gumpaste and set ontop of a fondant road. The shoulder of the road is represented by brown sugar and then the green grass was piped all along the sides of the cake and cake board.
The cake flavor was marble with carmel buttercream filling.
Bekki also ordered a dozen cookies for her son…but those are so cute I want to dedicate a entirely separate post for them. I know you are dying of anticipation. 
Congratulations!!!

Baby Feet – Baby Shower Cake – Soledad, CA
My adorable delivery girl Alexis had her baby shower last weekend. She is due with her little boy the beginning of September, although my bets are on her delivering early.
Her shower was set up beautifully and her dessert table made a sweet addition to her baby shower decor!
Flavors for her shower included a marble cake with chocolate buttercream, vanilla and chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream topped with white sugar beads and red velvet/cream cheese cake balls dipped in dark chocolate and drizzled with white chocolate.
Congratulations Alexis on your little one.
He’s going to be such a handsome little baby! I can’t wait to meet him.
