A new chocolate love......

I love chocolate, doesn't every girl?  My sister was visiting over the weekend and if anyone knows us they would know the thing we love to do most is cook and bake together.  She is a very good cook and baker so when she told me her favorite kind of chocolate to just sit and eat was chocolate with a touch of sea salt it sounded like something I had to have right away.  I love all things sweet and salty.  So, I just so happen to go the store the very next day and what was staring straight at me in the candy isle?  A Lindt dark chocolate bar with a touch of sea salt.  I grabbed it right away and couldn't wait to get home and try some but first I had to make dinner for the family.  I was so anxious by the time I got to the chocolate I was about to explode.  Let me tell ya, taking the first bite was magical.  You got the wonderful chocolate flavor with hints of salt.  It was a flavor explosion in my mouth.  Thanks to my sister for sharing this wonderful idea.  I now have a new found love.

Cardinals baseball cake

I had so much fun putting together my latest cake.  I never thought I would be able to tackle a sports themed cake.  I have 3 princesses so I haven't had a lot of experience in this dept.  However, I loved taking on the challenge of this cake and think it turned out not so bad.  Take a look at the pics and let me know what you think?!

Gotta love Facebook

It's amazing what starting a fan page on Facebook can do for  a business.  I started it a little while ago and the orders have been coming in like crazy.

Recently I did a baby shower cake and another catfish cake.  I guess here in the good ol' midwest catfish are a popular item.  You would not believe how crazy a man can get about seeing a cake like this.   Here are some updated pics, enjoy!!!

I need a name

 I have been thinking for a while now that I need a name for doing my cakes as a side job.  I am having a problem finding the right one though.  I have searched the ones I have thought of and there are already a lot out there with the names I have chosen.  I need help finding the perfect name.  If you can think of anything please leave me a comment and let me know your thoughts!!!!

Is this for real?

I got a call from my brother not too long ago and it was an unusual request.  He told me he was having a fish fry and that he wanted a cake representing that theme.  I searched high and low for different fish and fishing themes however I felt since the fish fry was using catfish it was only appropriate that I use that as my cake.  I looked at a bunch of pictures online and this is the cake I came up with.  I thought it didn't turn out too bad, actually from the looks of it I didn't know if I could even eat it.  The inside of the cake was red velvet so you can only imagine what it looked like when my brother decided to pull back the fondant and act as if he were skinning it and then cutting into it reminded me of the armadillo cake from Steel Magnolias.  It was quite the sight to see but everyone enjoyed it and got a good laugh about it too!


Does this look real?

It's been a while.........

Okay, so I know it's been a while since I posted. I think sometimes my life gets away from me with three kids ranging in age from 13 years to 5 months and a full time day job. I recently have had more requests for cakes and I love doing them so I thought I would put some pictures up of the cakes I have done. If anyone ever needs a cake done I will be more than happy to help if I am able. Just let meknow!!
