Food Network Horror Cakes Challenge




Well, we had a blast! This episode that aired this evening was filmed last December, and it was really exciting to see it all come together. Yes, our cake was colorful, maybe a touch too whimsical for the judges taste, but how many scary movies are based on unassuming  things? Dolls, clowns, those are all really freaky...why not flesh eating pastry????It could happen. next time you are enjoying your favorite muffin, brownie or cupcake, make sure your careful....very careful.....

October cakes so far...




This month we have had quite a variety of cakes-from whimsical wedding cakes to over the top sweet sixteen cakes....and my favorite-a wedding dress replica cake. Fall colors are my personal favorite, and I love gold accents....It is such a beautiful time of year, and October is our busiest wedding month so far.

At the end of the month, we are looking forward to our 3rd Food Network Challenge-Horror cakes debut on October 25.  This was our favorite cake we have ever made, so be sure to watch!
This weekend we will be at The Today's Bride Bridal show this sunday October 11 at The Embassy Suites in Independence. Be sure to stop by for a tasty sample of our wedding cake.
We are also getting excited for The Fabulous Food Show at the IX this year in November. We will have a booth this year, and also be giving some demos on the Chocolate Bar Stage. be sure to stop by and visit our booth- we will be selling cupcakes, cakes and brownies.

Red Hot cupcakes and some amazing detail work...



Cupcake weddings are very popular this year. This cupcake wedding cake we set up at House of Blues was very creative and fit the venue perfectly.
The Mosaic cake is a piece of art-Lauren details it with an edible luster paint that makes it look shiny and have a subtle sparkle to the surface.

More September wedding cakes....





We love being in this business for many reasons, but the main reason is that every cake we design for our couples is so uniquely different! The month of september has certainly been filled with so many different styles of cake designs, and  we love our clients for having such diverse taste-Even flavors of wedding cakes are becoming more creative and less about the traditional white wedding cake. Spice cake filled with Cinnamon Dolce flavored buttercream, Pistachio cake filled with vanilla creme,  and Orange creamsicle cake layered with Grand Marnier and Chocolate Ganache are a few delicious flavors we have been working with lately.

September wedding cakes




Such a variety of designs for our early september weddings! 
Vintage chic designs, exotic nature inspirations(including hand sculpted/hand painted butterflies and birds of paradise), A cake with inspiration form an heirloom pizzelle maker, and a navy and butter yellow cake with designs inspired from amazing  invitations....these cakes were some of our most memorable and artistic. All of these cakes feature sugar flowers, and were custom designed for each couple with a series of sketches.

More Groovy cakes in August....


Sculpted sugar flowers are very popular with our brides-they can be taken off of the wedding cake and be preserved as a keepsake. Some of the sculpted flowers featured in these cakes are roses, gardenias, hydrangeas, tulips, orchids and peonies.
