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.

Monkey is One – Birthday Cupcakes – Marina, CA
This little mini cake and cupcakes has a special place in my heart. Kim was my very very very very first client. I had posted an ad on craigslist, I had zero pictures of my work, and was hungry for a job. She contacted me to make her a wedding cake since her and her husband were eloping. I was thrilled beyond belief when she stumbled across my site again and asked me to make cupcakes and a mini cake for her son’s first birthday party.
My favorite part of the cake was the monkey topper. He’s just so squeezeable. I want to keep him as a pet!
Happy First Birthday Ethan!!!
Cupcakes/Cake: Chocolate and Vanilla

Spongebob Dessert Table – Birthday Cake/Cupcakes – Soledad, CA
I put together a miniature dessert table for my darling little Caden’s third birthday party. He’s been obsessing over his Spongebob cake for months now! I was going to cop-out and do all cupcakes with Spongebob toppers, but my husband told me that Caden would be devestated- so I threw together a little Spongebob cake just for him.
The table was based off of Caden’s favorites. He loves strawberries so I did strawberry buttercream icing. The marshmallows are dipped in chocolate and covered in fish sprinkles because he loves his fish and fishing pole. And of course, the Spongebob cake and Cupcake toppers are the main characters of his favorite show.
He loved it.
And still asks to eat his “ponge-bob” cake.
Happy Birthday Caden!

Stack of Books – PhD in Lit – Graduation Cake – Salinas, CA
Patty contacted me about making something special for her husband, who was graduating with his PhD in Literature from the University of California- Santa Cruz. She knew that she wanted a banana slug (the UCSC mascot) with a grad cap, and liked the idea of a stack of books. When I asked her what else he liked to try to make it as personal towards him as possible, she said that he liked wine and that they travel around every weekend for their daughters softball games so they don’t really have time for much else!
Everything on is Literature based on the cake. For the base, I copied out from pages of the Great Gatsby, a literary classic. The bottom book has the beginning title of Dr. Leal’s dissertation, (I couldn’t fit the whole thing ), and I found a book about Softball that I felt was appropriate since they support their daughter. The banana slug is reading Sideways (which was made into a movie) about traveling thru California wine country.
Congratulations Dr. Leal!
Cake: Bottom Book- Marble, Top Book- Red Velvet
Icing: Strawberry Buttercream and Cream Cheese Icing
Covering: Fondant with fondant and gumpaste embellishments and edible gold luster dust
Mother’s Day Cake
What symbolizes Mother’s Day better than a dainty flower cake? Too bad cake doesn’t ship well or that would be my go-to gift for my mom and my mother-in-law every year. I’m sure they’re holding their breath for their gifts. Which miiiight end up being late. Better late than never!
Cake: Chocolate
Icing: Strawberry Buttercream
Covering: Fondant with gumpaste embellishments
