Fall Weddings are here; so is Football Season :: Austin Wedding Cakes

I was going to wait and post these photos, but they were soooo AWESOME...I couldn't wait to share them. Also, A special thank you goes out to Dustin Meyer Photography and his team for the great shots. This was a wedding was held at the beautiful Lakeway Resort & Spa.

First of all....This wedding cake was HEAVY due to all of the detail work on it. Not to mention the layers of cream cheese buttercream and fresh strawberries. The other tiers were Italian Cream, which is one of my favorites. It's a coconut rich flavor, and coconut is one of those that you either LOVE, or you HATE.

Now for the groom's cake. I think this one might have stole the show at this wedding! It was football helmet! Yes, I realize that the Longhorn's don't actually have stripes on their helmets, but I got in the "creative" zone, and didn't realize my mistake until the game was already on TV, which was about 3 hours after delivery. =)

This was a rich chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream filling. I wish I had taken photos of the process because the cake was NOT round at all! There are no special cake pans, this cake was hand-carved.

I'm sure the couple was super excited that the Horn's beat Texas Tech that night as well!

Longhorn Country :: Austin Party Cakes

Here is a quick and easy, yet, custom party cake for you! See....we do appeal to all budgets and party sizes. I'm trying to save you from a frozen, mass produced cake with chemical frosting! A fresh, custom cake with real butter in the icing is ALWAYS tastes better.

Happy Birthday Pauline :: Austin Birthday Cakes

One of my friends, JB, asked me to create a special cake for her mother in honor of her 60th birthday, which was celebrated at the Hyatt Regency. JB and I brainstormed a few ideas, then she sent me the final design; a black and white mod cake.

There's no need in posting the inspiration photo, because the version that I created - which was a vanilla cake with caramel toffee crunch center- came out way better! Yes it did. I love the way the colors "pop", especially the red and the the different colors on the gift bags!
