Happy Hunting

The request was for a hunting theme birthday cake. To all by friends in California, I quite often have deer running on my property and you could say I live in in the country. Not really, but I like the effect. Well, there is a goat farm behind me :-). Anyways, the Monday after Thanksgiving is opening day of hunting season, and believe it or not the kids don’t have school because so many people are out hunting deer. Those poor Bambi’s.

Gram’s Birthday Cake

My mother-in-law’s birthday is always the week of Thanksgiving, so we always have a celebration for her on Thanksgiving day. I wanted to make her a special cake, so I created a gift box cake for her. It was chocolate cake with raspberry buttercream filling. Happy birthday Gram! You’re the best!

Keely’s 13th Birthday Cake

I received a call a couple of weeks ago from Keely’s mom who wanted to set up an appointment to meet to discuss creating a birthday cake for her daughter’s 13th birthday. Keely came to the meeting with a sketch of exactly want she wanted and this is what it looked like. The cake was adorable and I think she has a bright future as a cake designer!

16th Birthday Party

This is a very special cake I did for a combined 16th birthday celebration for 3 Cumberland Valley High School friends. Debbie (the mom) asked me to create something incorporating each of the kids and their sport and CV on the cake with the school colors of black and red. The cake was marble with Oreo buttercream filling.

Here’s what mom had to say:
I just have to say what a statement your cake made with about 45 teenagers! It was the highlight of the party. The cake was fabulous and all the mom’s raved over it wondering who made such a thing here in Central PA. I wanted you to know and thanks so much.
