Lobster Cake


One of my all time favorite cakes! This lobster has vanilla cake inside and filled with chocolate ganache. No pot of boiling water neccesary!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Gobble, gobble, gobble!

Our turkey has a pilgrim hat on and red, yellow, and green colored feathers. The inside is carrot cake with cream cheese frosting-- the perfect turkey for a vegetarian!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Teddy Bear Baby Shower Cake

This baby shower cake was made to match the black, white, and yellow decor for the party!

The top features a gumpaste teddy bear with a yellow bow in her hair, and the cake is covered in polka dots.

The cake is red velvet with cream cheese frosting.

Congratulations!
Here's a great photo of Kelly, who I worked with to make this cake, with the lovely mom-to-be :)

Curious Matteo Birthday Cake!




A cake of Matteo's favorite Monkey for his 2nd Birthday!!! He was so adorable, when I delivered the cake he said, "George!!!" and "Moneky!!!" then I think he got scared of the cake lol but then he wanted to look at it so I think it was OK! :)

Thank you Yasmine for this order, it will help raise 42 meals for Food4Africa!

Rachael & Her Furry Friends







This cake features Rachael (who is one of the wonderful people who work at The Lange Foundation, a no-kill shelter in West LA) and her five dogs (Astro-Golden Retriever, Guido- Pug, Nacho- Chihuahua, Charlie- looks like Benji, Bianca- has the white spot on her forehead) hanging out in some green, flower dotted, hill. Good luck to Rachael and all her future endeavors! I was happy to have made this for her.

Here is also a photo of her dogs, look how cute and good they are!

Visit Lange's website to see all of the great dogs and cats waiting for a home! They also have a ranch in Canyon Country (in case you want a horse :)

"I'm a Real Boy!"






Pinocchio cake for Isabelle's first birthday! Pinocchio is Isabelle's favorite movie and the only thing she will sit still for :) She is so adorable and was a little confused by the cake at first, but then pointed to it when her dad said "Pinocchio!"

40 meals will be donated to Food4Africa thanks to Ed & Kathy.

All decorations are edible, it was vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream. I don't like using wires in cakes so I found these great plastic lollipop sticks to use for the stars instead. The cake also includes hand painted stars and the "wood" is made up of different colored fondant and hand painted details. One of my favorite cakes to make and deliver :o)

Some great Pinocchio quotes:
"A lie keeps growing and growing until it's as plain as the nose on your face. "-- The Blue Fairy
"I'm a real boy!"-- Pinocchio
"Pretty, huh? I'll bet a lot of you folks don't believe that, about a wish comin' true, do ya? Well, I didn't, either. Of course, I'm just a cricket singing my way from hearth to hearth, but let me tell you what made me change my mind."-- Jiminy Cricket

More photos to come of Isabelle with the cake!

Lange Foundation Holiday Cupcakes

These are cupcakes I made for the Lange Foundation for the holidays adorned with their logo and holiday nonpareils. The Lange Foundation is a no-kill shelter that saves so many animals and gives them a second chance. I can go on and on about them, but for more information please go to www.LangeFoundation.com.
















I adopted Lucciano from them 2 months ago and it has been so awesome! (He's the furry white guy at the park.) There are a variety of dogs there-- they range in size, breed, age, but the thing they have in common is they are good pets and just want a home. Terry (the white dog), Pika (a Chihuahua mix), and Trevor (a lab mix), are just some of the furry friends that are available there. If you are an animal lover who cannot own a pet at the time, please think about volunteering there, you will love it! Below is also a youtube video of Trevor made by a volunteer. Trevor has been at the shelter for a long time, maybe due to his larger size, but we hope to see him go home soon. As you will see in the video, he is just a big lovebug!













Samantha's Baby Shower Cake




A onesie baby shower cake with a lion taken from their baby blog! It is light yellow with light green trim and sewn on buttons. Congrats to Samantha who is about to pop any day now!

Emma's Crab Birthday Cake

Happy Birthday Kat












A birthday cake for Kat inspired by her work with Pigs For Kids.
Pigs for Kids is an economic and educational program to aid and empower families in rural Waslala, Nicaragua.
