INTRODUCING: Gluten Free and Vegan Cakes!!!

Are you, or is someone you love, gluten sensitive? Do you adhere to the vegan lifestyle? I'm so excited to say that I now offer cakes that are gluten free, vegan or both! These cakes can be decorated just like any other cake with some very tasty vegan frosting. Safe for little ones with gluten, dairy or egg allergies!

Need a Little Pick Me Up?

Then how about a slice of this energizing cake!

Yep, a cake made to look exactly like a Monster! Love it! The cake is covered in fondant with royal icing piping for the logo and letters. It is exactly to scale with the actual can. I'm a bit meticulous about such things! And what can would be complete without a pop top!

Graduation Cake

Lately I've had quite a few orders for cakes that look like other things. I LOVE making these cakes. Always such a fun challenge. I had a blast making this graduation cake.

My favorite part was the school mascot on the cap! Such intricate work with my favorite tool, the handy dandy Xacto knife! I love that thing! I believe I can make pretty much anything out of fondant with it! :)

Escape from Alcatraz!

This is one of my favorite cakes, ever! I was asked to make a cake for someone participating in the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon. So what better than to reenact part of the triathlon on the cake! The race starts out at Alcatraz and the participants swim to San Francisco, so here is my interpretation of that leg of the race. Thankfully, in the REAL race, there were no sharks! Tee hee! Go Andy!

Here's a more close up view of the waves around the island, and of course our determined swimmer!

The island is made from Rice Krispie Treats (is there anything they can't do?) and fondant.

Kindergarten Graduation Cake

Kids have a way of growing up so fast, don't they? Imagine my shock when I blinked and my son was graduating from Kindergarten! I was so excited to be able to do the cake for the reception following their program. Since he was at a private kindergarten, and there were only 7 kids in his class, I thought it would be so fun, and different, to put each of their little faces on the cake... in the way a kindergartener would draw them, of course! :) I personalized each face with the proper eye color, and tried to add a little something extra where I could. Ava always wore a bow in her hair, Brendan's teeth were falling out all year so he's got a nice gap tooth smile, Joshua (my little guy) wears glasses, Kerrigan frequently wears her hair in ponytails and Norman has a long curly ponytail. They all loved it. They were so excited to see themselves on the cake. Too cute!

Brownie Cake

As I've mentioned in previous posts, I make a monthly office birthday cake. I think some people around the office were starting to feel like Elaine in that old Seinfeld episode ("So much CAKE!") that in May, I decided to do something a little different. A brownie cake! A pan of rich, chewy brownies (mmmmm... brownies!), decorated like a cake. It was such a big hit, I'm trying to conjure up a couple other different ideas for the monthly treat!

Cake Pops!

I FINALLY decided to dive into the world of Cake Pops! How fun they are to make! There are so many things you can do with them. Thank you Bakerella for this wonderful creation! Here are your basic white/chocolate pops, decorated with various sprinkles, dots and stripes.

And here are some in Easter/spring colors.

Be on the lookout for more Cake Pops coming soon!
