Sponge Bob Lives in a Pineapple Under the Sea!

Sponge Bob really does live under the sea! Jase will be celebrating his 4th birthday with the coolest beach cake with Sponge Bob sitting in the sand on his own little island with some shells and pineapples! This yellow cake is covered in blue buttercream to look like the ocean and the waves. There is fondant coral and chocolate shells. Sponge Bob is made from marshmallow fondant and is hanging out on the brown sugar sand!

Always a Princess

Every girl should have her special day where she can be a princess. Eva Joy has her day today! She will be celebrating her 5th birthday in full princess style! Her chocolate fudge cake is filled with cream cheese icing and covered in pale purple cream cheese icing. A pale pink fondant ribbon and bow adorn the bottom of the cake and it is topped with a sparkly tiara! Perfect fit for a princess!!!

Website

I have finally remembered to blog about my new website. A few weeks ago I sat down and created a website for Firehouse Sweets. Don't worry, I will still keep blogging, however, I will definitely need the website as the business grows. I can't believe I am coming up on my one year anniversary already. I began making the cake balls back in October 2009 but didn't get my first official order until November 2009. (Stay tuned for November Anniversary Specials) Now almost a year later, it was time to begin an actual website. It includes the menu of all baked goods, general information about Firehouse Sweets, photographs of the yummy goodies, comments and guestbook pages (so please leave me your comments), and a calendar which includes all of my upcoming orders! Please take a minute to check it out! You wont regret it and it may cause you to drool, so place your orders now!

Keep your eyes out for changes to Firehouse Sweets! New flavors and ideas are among us!

Ladybugs

Happy 3rd Birthday Samantha!!! It was my pleasure to create a Ladybug themed birthday cake for the sweetest 3 year old that I know! My wonderful co-worker Jenn asked me to make her daughters birthday cake. Samantha is in love with ladybugs and the color pink. The bottom tier was chocolate fudge cake and yellow cake with Oreo butter cream and marshmallow fondant ladybugs. The top tier was yellow cake with hot pink marshmallow fondant made into a ladybug. A chocolate fudge, lime green ladybug joined the party as well!

Bud Light Anyone?

All birthdays should be special. They should be spent with friends and family, and a yummy birthday cake! A good friend of ours just turned 21, so I decided to surprise him with the best 21st gift ever...a super, delicious, chocolate fudge cake with buttercream. The cake was topped with a marshmallow fondant "Bud Light" symbol from the top of the bottle. Let the celebration begin!

Hannah Montana

I was recently put to the challenge. Make a birthday cake? NO PROBLEM! Make it sugar free? BRING IT ON!!! I have never used, eaten, let alone purchased Splenda in my life! I did my research and tried a few recipes (which I wasn't pleased with) and went with my yellow cake recipe and just substituted the sugar for Splenda. The texture was a bit more like pound cake, but was still yummy. Trial and error will continue until it is mastered! The theme was Hannah Montana for the party. What four year old doesn't love Hannah Montana? The cake was iced in Splenda Chocolate icing and decorated with my marshmallow fondant. I used pink, white, and teal to create a guitar, stars, and the HM initials. Super cute and super fun!

Girls Night Out!

I had the pleasure of creating the bachelorette cake of my choice all the way from the cake, icing, and design! I opted for my classic pound cake with raspberry buttercream and topped with my marshmallow fondant in hot pink with green accents. The cake was adorned with a martini glass! The girls were going out for a night on the town in Atlanta to the piano bar before the bride to be was to become a married woman!
