~Southern Bride~

Tonight, a beautiful wedding took place at the historic Decatur Courthouse.  What a beautiful venue!  Sunset was streaming through the huge vintage windows of the ballroom when I arrived with the cakes.  Hurricane lamps sat on the spacious window sills and created a soft glow for a very romantic wedding.  Congratulations, Ellen!  What a gorgeous wedding!!

Baseball Coach Birthday

Today's cake was a birthday cake for a long time baseball coach.  From what I was told, the man has dedicated his life to children and their baseball experience.  They specifically asked that I include the logo for the baseball team on the cake.

I also like the challenge to branch out with sheet-like cakes.   I have always dreaded making single layer, square or rectangular type cakes because, well, they just tend to remind me of run-of-the-mill grocery store sheet cakes. YUCK!  (Now, if you buy these kinds of cakes, that's totally fine!  I think it just irks the creative side of me!)  So, that being said, I'm always looking for ways to make sheet cakes, look special, and not like a typical sheet cake.

ENJOY!

Whimsical Daisies

This week, I got to make a whimsical daisy cake!  This was for another returning customer.  I just love it when my clients return for more cakes!  Don't you just love the pink and green colors she chose?

1st Birthday FUN!

Lauren and Travis are some other wonderful friends of mine.  I had the pleasure of making their wedding cakes a couple of years ago.  What a gorgeous wedding!  Lauren looked just like a princess, the one every little girl dreams of looking like on her wedding day. (In fact, you could just see all the young girls at her wedding, eyes wide when she walked by!)

Fast forward a couple of years and they now have one of the cutest, happiest little boys I've ever seen!  I know all babies have their moments, but I don't know if I've ever seen him unhappy....and he loves balls!  My oldest son loved balls too, at Thomas' age and I made him a 1st birthday cake covered in balls.  Lauren asked if I could make something similar for Thomas' birthday.  It was so much fun to take the same idea and tweak it a bit to make it something individually special for Thomas.  Happy Birthday Thomas!

40th Anniversary Cake

Some sweet friends of mine wanted to surprise his parents with a special cake for their 40th wedding anniversary!  Isn't that wonderful?  40 years of marriage!  I think that's awesome!  Anyway, the surprise part didn't quiiite work out the way my friends wanted it to, but in the end, they were still able to surprise them with this special cake.

Valentine Birthday

I am terribly behind in the blogging!  Lots of life has happened over the past two months.  April has been really busy with cakes!  That's a good thing!

Here's the last cake from February, a Valentine birthday cake.

Enjoy!
