One of my new Favorites!

I was  little nervous for this cake only because I'd never really hand painted on a cake before.  And once it's on......it's on to stay!  But it actually ended up being a ton of fun!  I loved how it turned out.  The quilted look is also very "in" right now, and the red roses are were hand crafted!!

Mad Hatter Cakes

Mad Hatter Cakes are nothing new, but they are definately becoming more and more popular for wedding cakes.  Some couples still love to stick to a "White Wedding" cake, but more often I'm having people order outside the box.  WHICH I LOVE!!  Making any type of cake is fun, but it's exciting to have something different.  Make you learn something different!  This is one of my favorite cakes!  The Bride and Groom were so much fun to meet with.  They new exactly what they wanted and the Groom was actually quite involved.  It was his idea on how to do the Silver Balls.  So Thank you for that!!  They also had one of the layers split in the middle with different filling.  One side was Peanut Butter frosting and the other was Raspberry.  One of the servers at the Wight House Reception Center said it was the best PB and J they'd ever had!

I'm going to do it!

After much deliberating, I've decided to start a blog about my business. So far I have mostly been involved in Wedding cakes but I have started branching out to other specialty cakes and am excited to expand onto yummy desserts! More info on that to come!

My dream is to one day own a shop of my own or have a seperate "office" in my house, but for now I am happy and grateful to have the cooperation and graciousness of the Wight House Reception Center. There I have been alowed to do all of my decorating and preparing. I have loved working there and appreciate the business it has brought me. I love working with brides and helping them create a cake for their special day! I especially love those brides who bring me a challenge or something crazy, new and different! I look forward to every cake I get to make and can't wait to get my hands in frosting and powdered sugar. I can't say that my waist size is too pleased with all this cake constantly surrounding me but that's not going to stop me!

I look forward to many more fun, creative and learning experiences with my future cakes!!
