Last Week's Cakes

What did I say last week? Sheet cakes DO NOT have to be your typical rose and shell border cakes. If that's what you like, than I'm more than happy to do so, but in my experience, most guys aren't big fans of roses. So this is why it's good to mix it up a bit.

Now I know this b-day cake has a shell border, but it's still diffferent! I'm lovin the car! It was perfect! I had just got the mold (remember the cool cake stuff I got? - this is one of the things :), so it was awesome to use it. The other awesome thing about it - it's 100% edible - pure white chocolate! Mmmm.....

Next up - a wedding and groom's cake. The groom LOVED his Raiders cake - it was a complete surprise! Surprises are always great. I love the simplicity of the cake. I think the combination was GREAT! Plus - I love the look of a hexagon cake. So a big congrats to Cyla and Abraham! Much love and I wish you guys the best! (OMG - Cyla looked so pretty! Gorgeous dress!)

What's up for this weekend you ask? CRAZY MADNESS is what! Along with baptism and xv cakes I've got my nephew b-day and Father's Day. Wow, then it's about three weeks for Ruben's big 21 b-day cake. I totally got to finalize the design on that one! It has to be awesome. I've got everything I want to incorporate into it, but I just don't know how I'm gonna do it all. I think I'm gonna have to break some child labor laws and get my niece to help. I'll pay her in cookies or something! lol!!!

I think that's all for now. As always - much love and hit me up for your cakes! Peace out!

A different spin on an old classic

Sheet cakes do not - I repeat - do not have to be your typically shell border with roses! They can be different, but still give you the ease a sheet cake has to offer.

I'll admit they aren't always my favorite - usually because they are harder to make creative! It's a good challenge to have though. Which I think is one of the reasons I really like this graduation cake. It's simple, but effective. I guess that can be said for any cake though. You don't need a huge eleborate design to make a cake look awesome (although if you WANT it - that's a different story :).

As always, it's been a joy. Hit me up for your cakes.

Oh, and I think I'm going to do a cupcake special for Father's Day. Something a little different for Dad.

I pity the fool who doesn't read this! LOL!

So, it's unbelievable how freakin' awesome today has been!

First, I finally got my Mr. T Water War! Yes! Does anybody remember this? We had one when we were kids and I so can't believe that I actually found it on ebay. Nah, I can't believe I was the only bidder! Something is wrong in this world when only one person bids on Mr. T's Water War....ha,ha,ha....

Oh, and I LOVE Canon! So my camera was messin' up (see XV pic). Well, it was a manufacturer defect. They are gonna fix it FREE! Sweet! I love Canon - great product and after nearly five years they still stand behind it!

Other awesome thing of the day - picked up some new cake stuff. Nothing too special, but at a great price. You can't argue with that!

I think I'm gonna hold off on the exercise tonight. I need a day off. But check out Zumba tomorrow at SSA and you'll see me there! It's an even exchange :)

I'll be working on Cheli's cake tonight. I'm excited - as always!

Have a good weekend everyone!

Check it out! Ruben finished the logo!!



Can I just say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!? Ruben did an freakin' awesome job!!! I so couldn't ask for something better!

It’s funny I kept asking him if he was done and then he started asking what I wanted on it. He pretty much came up with this on this own. It definitely fits me perfectly! I don’t think I could have asked for something better.

Be ready to see it posted EVERYWHERE! lol!!

Saturday was a great day!

Saturday started great! I hit the 9:30 Zumba class at St. Stephen’s. If you haven’t tried Zumba - you should! Check out www.casadefitness.com.

Cake deliveries were made yesterday. I’ve an order for tomorrow, so I’ll be working on that in a little bit. It’s a graduation cake, so that’ll be great.

I’m still trying to figure out my Father’s Day cake special, so be sure to watch out for that. It’s Sunday, June 21 this year so don’t let it sneak up on you.
