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!

Little Boys Love Locomotives :: Austin Birthday Cakes

One of the little boys in my nanny network turned two years old on Saturday, and his Mom planned him the coolest Thomas the Train/Pool Party! I sent her a photo of Nanny Baby's cake, to give her an idea and she loved it.

I always look at a photo and/or sketch for inspiration, but whenever I do a "recreation" cake, it still never comes out the same. That's just part of the territory when it comes to custom work. Every cake is always better that the last one, because my skills grow and develop. However, each cake always gets my 100% best efforts...that is also why I enjoy it so much!

With this cake, my primary goal was to make it come to life. When it was finished, I felt the cake needed something else, so my sister came up with the neat idea to add an (edible) orange tree in the back!

Here you can see the inside of the cake! A rare photo since I do not usually stay at events long enough for the cake to be served. EVERY cake is made with FOUR layers of cake and THREE layers of filling.

This cake was dark chocolate cake with cream cheese buttercream, and butter vanilla cake with cream cheese buttercream. All wrapped in a thin layer of fondant which melts into the buttercream and makes a yummy and gooey icing. It also keeps the entire cake from melting in this triple-digit heat!


...And look at that tree! It's so cute!
