Sweet 16 Birthday Cake

This Sweet 16 was designed by the Birthday girl herself! (It was quite a design I have to say!)

Bottom tier has a vine design and black bow, Topsy turvy tier has the same pattern on her dress with purple airbrushing on half the cake, round polka dot tier, and top tier has zebra stripes and a sweet 16 topper with a crown.

All vegan chocolate cake with vegan chocolate ganache.

Happy Sweet 16 Adreauna!

Snow Engagement/Birthday Cake

This cake was made for a couple that got engaged on the same week of both their birthdays, which was only a few days apart. They love snowboarding and skiing as well as their black lab. The cake is adorned with figures of them, trees, and sanding sugar snow.

Congrats to the happy couple! I love this photo of them making a wish :)

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.

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

A Present for Jamie

This present cake was made for Jamie's birthday. The present is wrapped in polka dotted paper and finished off with a black bow and a "Happy Birthday" tag. A rose, chrysanthemum, daisies, and tiny white flowers adorn the sides of the present.

This cake was red velvet with cream cheese frosting. Jamie's husband had the awesome idea of keeping the present in a black and white color scheme so that when you cut into the cake, it matches the red inside and has a great contemporary color palette! It was a great idea!

Happy Birthday Jamie!

A pair of TOMS for the Shoe Drop Family Reunion! The cake features a 3-D pair of TOMS, the classic red representing the original shoe drop location, Argentina, and the white "Style Your Sole" with all the guests names written on it.

Big Burger Groom's Cake

I think hamburger cakes are officially my favorite to make, they are just so much fun!

This Groom's cake was 10" wide and 8" tall of pure chocolate cake and buttercream in disguise as a cheeseburger. It included tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and a big honkin' piece of "meat", all on a sesame seed bun.

Thank you Patty for your order, 100 meals will be donated to Food4Africa!

Congrats to the Bride and Groom!

The Busy Bee in Spring

A 3 tiered topsy-turvy cake adorned with handmade gumpaste flowers including: anenomes, roses, chrysanthemums, daisies, and small 5 petal blossoms. A gumpaste bee has flown through the garden and is hanging out at the top!

This cake is a dummy cake, meaning the tiers are actually made out of styrofoam pieces. This is great for cakes that need to be displayed for long hours, will be outside in hot weather, as well as for weddings (with a smaller cake to cut into for photos and cakes in the back to be served to the guests.)

Here is a photo of the sketch, the bare pieces, and finished cake! This was a project made by myself and Jovan Culpepper.

TOMS South Africa Shoe Droppers Reunion

I made this cake for a South Africa Shoe Drop Reunion! Thanks also to everyone who chipped in to help raise some meals for F4A (especially Liza, who got her co-workers to give her their change :)

Dark Chocolate Cake with Vanilla Buttercream.

It was good times reminiscing and catching up! Without that trip, I don't know when I would have found out about F4A and if Sweet Catastrophe would even exist!

Dave's Star Trek Birthday Cake

A 40th birthday cake for Dave, inspired by his love for Star Trek! Dave actually produced the director's edition of the first star trek movie: http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/library/creative/bio/4405.html-- very cool! I got the idea for this cake after checking out Mr. Spock's outfit! It's his top with his black strap and logo on the chest. Dave is also in his Star Trek gear (with pointy Mr. Spock ears) and sitting on the cake in front of the "40" painted with gold stars. "Live Long and Prosper" Dave!

Thank you to Julie for this order and for helping us raise 56 meals for Food4Africa!

Teacher's Pet

This cake was made for the Juan Cabrillo Elementary School annual fundraiser! Last year SC donated a dolphin themed cake. This year, the cake featured a bright red apple to give to your favorite teacher along with a calculator and number 2 pencil. It says "Juan Cabrillo" in blue at the bottom and there happens to be a bookworm tagging along too. It was a chocolate cake, layered with chocolate ganache and a light chocolate buttercream.

Eyeballs Everywhere

An eyeball cake for Marcee! I think this would also be great for Halloween :) She came across an eye cake one day and sent the pic to me. Her birthday happened to be coming up so it just seemed appropriate to make her an eyeball cake with additional eye cupcakes. The cake was marble cake with cream cheese filling, covered with fondant with hand painted details. My favorite picture is the one of it peeking out of the box lol

Happy Spring!

Happy Spring everyone! This cake shows a family of birdies sitting in their nest. The nest is made with fondant pieces and threads of sugar. Chocolate branches finish off the cake.

Baseball Cake

A baseball cake for Hilary and Mike! Inspired by Mike's love for baseball and the camp he runs, www.KidsofSummer.com. The "S" represents these two Syracuse alumni, and the stethoscope is for Hilary who is a social worker at a hospital (she might not use a stethoscope but she listens to people and helps them everyday!)

This was a chocolate cake layered with chocolate ganache and chocolate buttercream. Everything is edible!
