The Yankees are the best baseball team that ever walked the face of the earth

I was pretty ecstatic to make this cake mainly for reasons stated in the blog title, but also because it was commissioned by the young wife of an air force soldier coming home from training. She told us that they'd have a little time together before he left again for a whole year! My brother-in-law is in the military and is often gone for extended periods of time and my heart goes out to all military wives-you amazing women-you are strong and capable and brave and make sacrifices I'm to weak to make. Thank You!
We surprised the hubby with this Yankee's cap cake which was chocolate with whipped strawberry filling-yum!

Cake Boss

This pink & zebra striped cake is a pretty darn cute and very popular design. If you've ever watched TLC's Cake Boss you may recognize it as the cake Buddy made for his niece's 13th birthday. I've seen lots of different versions of this cute n' sassy design so I was pretty excited to create one of my own when Amber sent me the picture straight off of the episode for her sister-in-law Tiffany's birthday.
Our favorite triple chocolate cake covered in fondant stripes, balls, bow, and stars-Happy Birthday to Tiffany!

Beauty and the Beast


A Beauty and the Beast cake for one Beautiful future bride! It was so fun to deliver this cake to Meghan's movie themed bridal shower because it fit into the decor perfectly! I'm always amazed at the talented hosts that commission cakes from us and the Langes are definitely among the best! An old fashioned popcorn machine, roses, dramatic black and red sparkled color scheme in tribute to an old cinema feel with flair!
This was a white cake (my personal favorite!) with whipped strawberry frosting filling, decorated with icing, gum paste roses, and edible shimmery white glitter-A very romantic and tasty cake that had us singing 'we're painting the roses red' for days after completion!
Congratulations to the future Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Lange!

Fairy Baby Cake



Lisa's fairy themed baby shower was perfect for a tiny little one named Violet (expected in August!) Lisa is a katiecakes return customer so we knew exactly what flavor cake she'd like-triple chocolate, the same as her wedding cake! (Lisa loves this cake so much, she is the only bride I know who requested a whole tier of the cake be wrapped and sent to her honeymoon suite with her!) We were so excited to be able to share in the happy event of Daniel and Lisa's first baby as well. Wild color depth, shape, and vinery sprinkled with golden shimmer dust created one mystical, magical cake! Congrats to the 3 of you!

Shosh-Mish

My amazing friend Shondra just finished her Masters Degree and wanted to celebrate with a family party and CAKE! When she called me to talk about what kind of cake she wanted she told me she wanted something bright blue, something sparkley, and something that 'captured the essence of Shondra'-and left the rest up to me. Shondra's been a friend of mine for some time now so as I thought about the 'essence of Shondra' thoughts of Winnie the Pooh, soccer, dogs, poetry, OCD-cleanliness, and the real desperate housewives of orange county (which she is addicted too) ran through my mind. How do you capture the essence of someone so unique and awesome? One word: Whimsical. Shondra has three tattoos of colorful fairies and these little displays truly describe our 'Shosh-Mish'. She is silly, she is playful, she is bright and smart, she is bossy! She is a goddess! Congratulations on your Master's Degree Shondra, and thanks for letting us be a part of the celebration!
