Big This Year

I'm feeling very uninspired this morning. I forgot to close my bedroom door last night, and my little brother's cat kept me up all night. You'll pay for that Zoey. Anyway, I'll just get to the cake, because it's a good one. Owls are big this year people. I decorate at least 2 owl cakes every week, but this is my favorite to date. 

 As always, the pictures aren't nearly as cute. Branches with pastel leaves, a big pink bow, hard to go wrong. 

Not only an owl, but an owl with a pink bow, sitting in a sparkly nest!

Happy Monday!

Something Blue

I'm happy to say that I've made a full recovery from all the Valentines madness. It was nothing an all girls weekend shopping trip couldn't cure! I was lucky enough to get a few days off work to do some shopping with my mum and sister. 5 pairs of shoes later, and I think this shopping trip can be chalked up to a success! 
On another note, I loooove today's cake, but I'm super sad that I don't have better pictures. It's gorgeous in person, if I do say so in myself. It's a pale Tiffany blue, with shimmery white damask on the middle layer. I also added pale coral ruffled flowers that didn't make it in the picture. It's the last of my fancy display cakes!

Have a lovely holiday weekend!

Happy Valentines Day!

Our busiest day of the year is over and done with! And I couldn't be more glad! I'm more tired than I've been in a long time, but it feels good to have made it through the past two days. Yesterday included a full day of Valentines prep, including decorating sugar cookies for 6 hours. Do you know how many cookies that is people?! A lot. And we sold em all. Then I had the chance to go babysit my niece and nephew so my sister and brother in law could have a night on the town. I can't get enough of those kids. Last but not least, today involved a lot of cake.  We baked and sold over 2000 cupcakes, and helped over 200 customers, not bad huh? Needless to say, I'm pooped, but I thought I'd share a few Valentines photos!

 Busy at work making Valentines for Mom and Dad!

 Me and my 2 favorite kids

 The typical hearts and flowers valentines cake gets old after a while, so when I have the chance I like to switch things up a little bit, like with these cute little robots 

Which means a lot coming from me, because I realllly love cake. 

Hope you all have a Valentines filled with love!

Ruffles and Lace

It's been a long week. A very long week. It's been full of preschool tours, ridiculous customers, including a few that have been blacklisted (Yes, that means you Bev!) and Valentines Day preparations. Valentines Day has always been one of my favorite commercial holidays, regardless if I have a significant other or not.  It's full of pink and red and flowers and hearts, and of course, cake! I'll def have some fun things to share. In the mean time, here's another of the display cakes from the wedding show. This one was inspired by a gorgeous dress we saw in a wedding magazine. Ruffles and lace, my two favorite things! 

Have a great weekend!

Lighten Up

Keeping up on wedding trends is extremely important when you're in the wedding cake business. Colors, patterns and textures are all important when designing a wedding cake to compliment the rest of your wedding decor. The past few years, color palates have leaned towards darker shades, deep purples, teals and blacks and white. I have nothing against dark colors, but when decorating, personally I tend to lean towards lighter shade. When designing new display cakes for this seasons wedding shows, we decided lighten things up a bit. This cake in particular features one of my all time favorite color combos. Grey is such a misunderstood color. When paired with pastel hues like Tiffany blue, or pale pink it can be stunning! I hope you think so too!

 Topsy turvy designs are unconventional for weddings, but we thought it'd be a fun change. I love it when people are willing to take chances and move away from the super traditional cakes.

  

I love ruffled flowers. Love. Them. 

Expect more display cakes in the coming days! There's a few that I think you'll looove!
