Sweetgrass Inspired
This wedding cake was created with a sweetgrass theme in mind (Charleston {SC} basket weavers use sweetgrass to make their popular creations.) The bottom single tier was done in a basket weave and the top three tiers were a Martha Stewart design chosen by the bride. Thanks for peeking!

Mother-To-Be Shower
My client loved the Pink Cake Box's "Pregnant Lady" cakes, so that was my inspiration for this cake...just with a little twist! It was 5 and 8 inch rounds- vanilla bean cake with fresh strawberry preserve filling and lavender (color) vanilla buttercream. All details are MMF including the mommy. Wanted to make it a little different, so I put her on the side, rather than the top. My client was head over heels for it, so I guess I did my job! :) It was my first time making a person, and I was very pleased with how she turned out! Thanks for peeking!

Colorful Beach Themed Wedding
My couple had their beach themed wedding reception at a local hangout/bar called Bubba's Love Shak (located in Murrell's Inlet, SC)...as you can see, my bride's color scheme was BRIGHT! But, it actually came together nicely- and matched the recpetion site perfectly! 6 inch topper cake with a buttercream coral design and 100 of my gourmet cupcakes. I would have loved to put a chocolate seashell on each cupcake, but my couple's budget didn't allow...I think this look worked, though! Thanks for peeking!

Vintage Red Wagon 2Nd Birthday
LOVED THIS THEME! Couldn't find too much info on it...so I mainly used the colors to decorate. My client did find a cake she liked...this is my interpretation of it. 5 inch Banana Cake with Vanilla Cream Cheese Filling, iced in Vanilla BC and MMF details. The cupcake flavors were Plain Jane, Double Chocolate, Chocolate Fudge and Vanilla Chocolate Chip. They were all topped with my Sour Cream Vanilla BC, a Large Red Candy Button and a few had handmade flags sticking out the top...all sat upon a custom cupcake stand I made especially for the theme. I also made the cookie pops for the table scape and marshmallow pops for the favor bags. Thanks for peeking!!

The Emily
When you have flowers like these, you don't need much decoration on a cake! :) This bride wanted to go super simple with her wedding cake- a 6, 10 and 14 inch Charleston Style Pound cake rounds covered in my vanilla BC with a sage green ribbon border. Orchids were placed between the tiers. My bride also had a cupcake vision for her wedding..all 240 mini cakes lined the dance hall. Flavors included Chocolate Peanut Butter, Chocolate Covered Strawberry, Red Velvet, White Chocolate Raspberry, Lemon Cream Pie and Italian Cream. Thanks for peeking!

"i Dew" Cake
I had a bride recently bring me a picture of a cake from a fellow CC'er. It was a Mountain Dew Groom's cake with the saying, "the ultimate 'i dew' " written across it. Since her hubby-to-be's two favorite things in the world was Diet Mnt Dew and Reese's, she wanted me to make a cake that incorporated these two elements and had this saying across it. So, this is what I came up with: It's a 8 and 14 inch chocolate fudge square covered in vanilla BC. The Reese's package and soda can were both made of rice crispy treats and fondant. The border is white chocolate reese's cups cut in half...and I added a fondant bottle to the bottom tier because that's what the groom drank his soda out of most. I thought it turned out pretty darn good...and the couple loved it! So, I did my job! :) Thanks for taking a peek!

Pauline's Wedding
One of the more unique wedding cakes I've ever done...a 4 tier (5, 8, 12, 16 inch) charleston style pound cake covered in ivory buttercream with black satin ice details. The couple wanted alternating fresh strawberry preserve filling and mocha buttercream filling. The flowers were of ivory, peach and coral hues and were chosen by the bride. The design was also my bride's idea- I think it turned out to be a very cute cake...more of a Sweet 16 than a wedding at the country club...but cute none the less! :) The couple loved it...and that's the most important thing! Thanks for peeking!

Black And Ivory Wedding Cake
This cake was for a sweet couple getting married in the Myrtle Beach area. This 4 tier pound cake was all done in buttercream, at the request of the bride. A fondant bow sits on top and the couple's initial is centered on the 2nd tier in buttercream. I got the idea from Pink Cake Box, just altered the bow a bit to make it my own. In the bottom right corner, the matching cake pop favors are shown. They loved it...and so I was very pleased! Thanks for peeking!

Carnival Fun
This was for a 6 year old's birthday party- carnival themed, of course. I got the idea for the small 6 inch cake off this site- THANKS!! :) The cupcakes are topped with handmade MMF popcorn and "Admit One" tickets. I even dusted the popcorn with a little gold shimmer to give the effect of melted butter. Turned out pretty darn cute! I couldn't really get a great picture, but you get the idea... Thanks for peeking!

Sweet Pea Shower
This shower was for a funky little Architect that is having twins! She chose the color scheme and gave me free reign on the decorations. 6 inch vanilla cake covered in BC and MMF circles. She also wanted cake pop favors, so I did those in the same color with little faces, like the topper! She loved it! Thanks for peeking!

Cirque Du Bebe
This cake was for a cirque du bebe themed baby shower. The couple were engaged in Paris, where the groom is from, so they wanted a french inspired party. Bold colors and circus animals were my inspiration for this piece- 6 and 10inch covered in buttercream with MMF details. Thanks for peeking!

30Th Birthday Cake
A good friend of mine was turning 30 and wanted a spunky little cake for her dinner party- this is what we came up with. We have a 10 inch square pound cake with lemon filling, a 9 inch round butter cake with milk chocolate ganache filling and a 6 inch square strawberry cake with fresh strawberry preserve filling. The entire cake is done in buttercream, other than the poka dots on the largest tier and her topper, at the request of the client. Thanks for peeking!

Masha's Monkey Cake
I did this cake for a 10th birthday party at a local zoo. This chocolate, butter and banana cake is covered in MMF and the monkeys (which all have different poses) are made of chocolate MMF. The bananas were also hand made. I was very pleased with it, but most importantly, the birthday girl loved it! Thanks for peeking!

Maddie's 5Th Birthday
My client found a picture on this site, I believe, and wanted me to copy it exactly. I usually just use pictures as a guide and I put a little of my own flair to it, but the birthday girl loved it so much, I didn't want to change it too much. So, it's alternating vanilla and chocolate cake covered in vanilla buttercream and MMF details. It's not exact, but pretty close...I loved the design when I saw it and was honored to use their creation as a guide. Thanks! :) And thank you for taking a peek!
