Jewelry Parties

A friend was hosting a jewelry party and wanted a cake to indulge in. I went with chocolate fudge cake and vanilla buttercream covered in hot pink and black zebra print fondant. A huge fondant diamond ring adorned the top of the cake.




Emerson's 1st










An old co-worker asked me to bake a GIANT cupcake and decorate it in pink and green for her sweet Emerson's first birthday smash cake. Bow and polka dots in pink and green were the decor for this girly girl! Who wouldn't love a giant cupcake!!!

Teacher of the Year



While baking one night, I decided to put together one more cake for a dear friend of mine. My friend Jenn received the honor of "Teacher of the Year" for our school. She is an amazingly dedicated, hard working teacher deserving of so much! She loves my cakes, so I put together a little something just for her and she didn't even have to share!



Happy Birthday To ME!!!



Unfortunatey when you are the baker, you end up making your own birthday cake. I decided I wanted a pair of flip flops and even brought them to work to share with my co-workers and students!



Rocket Ships and Outer Space














Another fabulous 1st birthday cake!!! I think 1st birthday cakes are the most fun because the creative juices are flowing and nothing beats a 1 year old tearing into a cake! This cake was for a St. Patrick's Day baby with a rocket ship theme. The party guest cake was a big ol' rocket ship ready to fly into outer space, while the smash cake was a round version of outer space with the moon and stars.


Classic Cakes




This classic birthday cake was a strawberry cake with cream cheese icing.....simple and delicious!




Woof Woof



A co-worker of my husbands called me one night and asked if I had the time to bake an extra cake for a surprise for my husband. Of course I said YES! My husband is a fireman, as you all know (and if not, the name Firehouse Sweets may have given you a hint), and was being transfered to another station. The guys love to play jokes on one another and tricked my hubby into eating dog biscuits. Now I know most people know what a dog biscuit looks like and wouldn't eat one willingly (I hope), but these dog biscuits looked just like lemon cookies so anyone might have eaten one. I was asked to make a cake look like a dog bone, so I did. Of course I even colored the icing a nice shade of brown like the real bones and added a dog collar with the number 17 for his new station. The boys got a real WOOF out of this! The cake stated: It will be wuff without you!!!
