Brown and Blue Retro Cake

We created this blue and brown retro inspired cake with matching peanut butter pops for an engagement party. The dots remind me of snowmen! So cute!

Black, White & Red Retro Wedding

We just love when couples come to us with fun ideas! Back in March we met with a very fun and funky couple who told us all about their plans to create a sort of 50s retro themed wedding. The bride-to-be actually presented us with her red shoe and asked if we could build a dessert menu around it. The whole scene reminded me of the commercial where the couple pulls a faucet out and asked the architect to build a house around their water faucet. And how could I say no to that?

We created plates of miniature desserts in shades of black (well actually very dark brown as black would be weird!), white & red. The ceremony and reception were held at Stonebrook Golf Club in Shakopee.

Miniature desserts included:

Black Velvet Baby Cakes with Cream Cheese Icing & Fresh Raspberries
Raspberry French Macarons Filled with Raspberry Buttercream
Dark Chocolate Pudding Dessert Shooters
Fresh Fruit Tartlets Topped with Fresh Berries

The bride's Mother found these amazing hat boxes in funky patterns of black and white. Some of the boxes were tied with red ribbons to fit with the theme. Very cute and inexpensive ideas to make a wedding reception truly memorable. Congratulations!

Sweet 16 Ballet Cake

We created this fun birthday cake for a Sweet 16 party. The birthday girl just loves ballet, so we included pink ballet slippers. Oh to be 16 again!

Happy Sweet 16!

Polka Dot Cake

What says summer better than a brightly colored polka dot cake? I know, a Berries & Cream flavored polka dot cake!

Outdoor Summer Hors d'oeuvres

You may have noticed that most of the pictures on our blog are dessert related. We sure do make a lot of sweets around here! But we also create mouth-watering savory dishes for catered events as well. All too often in the hustle and bustle of getting the food out to the buffet table, we forget to bring our cameras! Here are some shots from a recent outdoor hors d'oeuvre event.

1st Birthday Safari Cake

A client recently contacted us to do a birthday cake for her son's 1st birthday. We just love little kid's cakes! We were able to get incredible inspiration from the paper products she ordered online. Check out these super cute plates and napkins with a Safari theme.

And here are some shots of the cake and little cupcake toppers we were able to produce. We got a little carried away with this one! :o)







Cute as can be!!
