We've never gone the traditional route 'cake-wise'; that said, you generally won't find us hand lettering cakes at Sweet E's - we prefer alternate methods.
So, if you want lettering, we usually do it with fondant, or little custom paper banners - that type of thing.
In fact, because our cakes up to 9-inch are 3 layers, people usually order smaller cakes from us than usual. In a lot of instances the cake is then too small to actually hand write an inscription or message on, so we happily offer a handmade banner for your cake
...it's totally up to you.

Now, we don't necessarily provide the special order cakes you could get from a traditional bakery ...but, we're not the Cake Boss either - not to say anything about high-profile people who are stand-outs in their field, but we like to actually make cakes made out of ...cake!
...not Rice Krispie treats ...or foam.
(...go figure!)

Buffalo Sabres Cake
Buffalo Sabres Cake
Buffalo Sabres Cake
This is definitely a 'sports-town' with the amount of team cakes that we're asked to make!
Buffalo Sabres Cake
This was a Birthday Cake request that we - as usual - hand-cut the logo out of our freshly made vanilla fondant.
Buffalo Sabres Cake
We used team colors to 'watercolor' or tie-dye the side of the cake which we think looked absolutely amazing...
Buffalo Sabres Cake
...and piped swirled team colored frosting for the accents.
Buffalo Sabres Cake
The logo though ...how cool is that?
Buffalo Sabres Cake
We added a complimentary banner that we always craft at no additional charge when asked...
Buffalo Sabres Cake
...and got one of the coolest Buffalo Sabres cakes you'll see!
Buffalo Bills Cake
Buffalo Bills Cake
Buffalo Bills Cake
A Birthday Cake for a 13 year old you just loves the Buffalo Bills.
Buffalo Bills Cake
All around the cake we decorated the 'yard lines' with his age ...13 years old.
Buffalo Bills Cake
For all of the details, we used our freshly made vanilla fondant.
Buffalo Bills Cake
We added a 'grass/turf' lower border and added 'Playoffs' as per the Birthday Boy's insistence as well as 'Go Bills' and 'Defense'...
Buffalo Bills Cake
...of course we 'abbreviated' Defense using a little picket fence design as you'd see in the Stadium if you were at a game.
Buffalo Bills Cake
A beautiful logo and little footballs decorate the top of the cake...
Buffalo Bills Cake
...and a custom - and always complimentary - 'Happy Birthday'banner as well.
Buffalo Bills Cake
Really cool cake if you ask us ...and we can happily do this for any team out there with enough notice ...even *sigh* the New England Patriots *eye-rolling* if need be!
Ombre Bridal Shower Cake
Ombre Bridal Shower Cake
Ombre Bridal Shower Cake
A large 2-tier cake with different designs for each tier.
Ombre Bridal Shower Cake
The bottom tier was decorated in a very delicate and pretty peach-ish tone and the top tier frosted 'flat' with silver non-pariels in slightly different sizes used as a lower border. Larger white and peach sixlets were used as well for a texture variance and a color 'pop'.
Ombre Bridal Shower Cake
We added additional non-pariels, etc to the top of the cake in addition to a few different colored rosettes to bring the color theme to the 'top'; we obtained a custom topper for this cake from a provider that we work with.
Ombre Bridal Shower Cake
Ultimately it was a beautiful cake that everyone was very pleased with.
Unicorn Cake
Unicorn Cake
Unicorn Cake
We've been asked repeatedly for this cake ...or a cake similar to this one. Unicorn Cakes have become quite popular ...rainbows, glitter, sprinkles ...sometimes candies ...how can you go wrong?!
Unicorn Cake
We start with any cake/filling you like and then go from there to create your magical unicorn!
Unicorn Cake
We use our freshly made vanilla fondant to hand cut the details and craft the Special horn that we spray with a shiny, edible gold spray.
Unicorn Cake
We add a very simple base decoration to keep the focus on the rest of the cake...
Unicorn Cake
...we make sure we decorate the flowing unicorn mane...
Unicorn Cake
...add glitters, sprinkles, non-pariels, sixlets, anything else that's requested ...and voila! A magical Unicorn ...just for you and your party!
Sparkly Starburst Cake
Sparkly Starburst Cake
Sparkly Starburst Cake
This isn't a specific Cake, it's more of a 'style' ...very similar to our 'Dozen Roses' Cake in which the flavor(s) are your choice but the decorating style is specific and can be customized by you.
Sparkly Starburst Cake
This particular cake was a Chocolate Cake with our Chocolate-Hazelnut (Nutella) Frosting. We used shades of turquoise/teal along with nutella, chocolate and white frosting to create the different sized, different shape/pattern starbursts before sprinkling it with gold and turquoise edible glitter.
Sparkly Starburst Cake
This version was our Signature Vanilla Cake with a Fresh Strawberry Filling; very similar to our Strawberry Shortcake Cake.
Sparkly Starburst Cake
The request for colors used was for very 'girly' pinks and purples and such ...we chose shades ranging from very pale to deep, vibrant pinks and purples ...we added a little white for accent as we usually do as well.
Sparkly Starburst Cake
We frosted the Cake itself in a pale pink and used the 'girly guidelines' to pipe out the remainder of the colors and continued the pattern as a border along the bottom to tie it all together.
Sparkly Starburst Cake
It's difficult to see the glitter sparkle in the photos, but this picture details it better than some ...we used silver, pink and purple glitter which sparkles whichever way you look at it - especially when it's lit with candles! Any Cake, any colors, almost any flavors ...you name it!
Sparkly Starburst Cupcakes
We can even do this design as Cupcakes ...these were Signature Vanilla Bean Cupcakes filled with a fresh Raspberry Filling topped with different shades of Blue Vanilla Bean Frosting with Raspberry Buttercream and White Vanilla Bean accents.
Sparkly Starburst Cupcakes
Adorable ...and when ordered with a cake, they make the perfect 'set'!
Emoji Birthday Cake
Emoji Birthday Cake
Emoji Birthday Cake
This was NOT your typical cake - especially to decorate ...our quarter sheet Mississippi Mudd Cake was chosen for the 10 year old who's birthday was being celebrated and we were asked to make it an 'Emoji Cake'
Emoji Birthday Cake
Well, it was time consuming making 25 emojis for the cake and additional emojis for cupcakes that can go along with - or in place of - the cake
Emoji Birthday Cake
...but we think we succeeded! ...and we were very happy with the result despite the somewhat 'bumpy' marshmallow-y 'base' that we had to work with.
Emoji Birthday Cake
We added a '10' in each row/column on the cake for the age which was really cute and totally customizable.
Emoji Birthday Cake
From 'eye-rolls' to '10's' to 'poops' ...this cake had everything a 10 year old could ask for ...the only bad thing from what we heard was having to cut out specially requested emojis out for the party guests ...we can honestly say that we'd never even considered that!
Emoji Birthday Cake
Ridiculously cute and easily executed on any type of cake from sheet to round ...plain vanilla or chocolate to this bumpy Mississippi Mudd Cake - you name it!

Hawaiian/Luau Birthday Cake
Hawaiian/Luau Birthday Cake
-- Part 2 --
Hawaiian/Luau Cake 2
We've done a Luau Cake in the past - one that other customers have actually asked us to duplicate for them. This is the second cake for our favorite Luau Birthday Girl - so, of course we had to come up withe a whole new design...
Hawaiian/Luau Cake 2
It was a challenge and - in truth - wasn't even close in concept to what we ended up executing.
Hawaiian/Luau Cake 2
From the beginning we were thinking 'Beach Sunset' as a base, we shifted gears a few times afterward; but before we go into that, this cake took some internal engineering as well...
Hawaiian/Luau Cake 2
...this is a cake that we had to devise a 'happy medium' recipe for that allowed us to bake a spliced together half and half - chocolate and vanilla cake ...a large cake - 12-inches, in fact.
Hawaiian/Luau Cake 2
It was incredibly successful and once baked, our 2-layers began their transformation into this - one of our absolute favorite - cakes.
Hawaiian/Luau Cake 2
...so, sunset - check ...waves - check ...edible sand - check. We added a cute surfboard near a palm tree and after some tropical leaves and flowers...
Hawaiian/Luau Cake 2
...we began working on our little Tiki Statues - which in our original design weren't 3 dimensional - they were originally just supposed to lie on the cake.
Hawaiian/Luau Cake 2
But, we thought... 'why not try to make them stand?' ...and this is what happened. Tikis ....tropical foliage ...flowers...
Hawaiian/Luau Cake 2
...but it wa the Tikis that really did it for us!
Hawaiian/Luau Cake 2
...super cute.
Hawaiian/Luau Cake 2
We decided seeing the birthday girl was turning 11 this year - why not add 11 little Tiki Torches? So, we did ...we wrapped super thin candles in fondant and placed them into little sand piles around the edge of the cake.
Hawaiian/Luau Cake 2
We love this cake - and hope the birthday girl felt the same. Happy Birthday Little Chicky!
First Communion Cake
First Communion Cake
First Communion Cake
A large 12-inch 2-layer Vanilla Cake with fresh Strawberry Filling; frosted in Vanilla Buttercream and covered in our freshly made Vanilla Fondant.
First Communion Cake
We used molded fondant for the inscription.
First Communion Cake
There were several design elements to this cake; the quilting, the flowers, the bows ...we loved working on this one!
First Communion Cake
A tall and pretty cake!
First Communion Cake

We hope she had a very special party on her big day!
'Baby' Cake
'Baby' Cake
'Baby' Cake
A cake for - obviously - a new addition. It was a surprise - no one knew if it was going to be a boy or girl so this particular design was requested.
'Baby' Cake
We cut different sized soft yellow, pink, blue and green polka dots out of our freshly made vanilla fondant and used them all over the cake; we hand cut the fondant letters to spell out 'Baby' as we often do for this type of design.
'Baby' Cake
We decided on a simple pale yellow buttercream 'polka dots' for the base of the cake.
'Baby' Cake
The cake itself was a 10-inch round with one layer of Vanilla Cake and one layer of Chocolate Cake with Cookies & Cream Signature Cupcake Frosting as the filling.
'Baby' Cake
It was a really cute cake ...and since then we've found out that it was a healthy little - well, 8 lbs 8 oz, so not that little - boy! Congratulations!
Triple Birthday Cake
Triple Birthday Cake
Triple Birthday Cake
We received an order for a cake to celebrate three birthdays at a local office. There were no requests for anything other than flavors, it was in our hands.
Triple Birthday Cake
We decided that this was the perfect time to experiment with our new Russian Piping Tips ...you've heard of them right? They're really popular, they can be seen everywhere ...well, we felt this was a great instance where we could see what we could do with them.
Triple Birthday Cake
Russian Tips are unique in that the tip pipes an entire flower ...it's really very interesting. You can layer multiple colors of frosting in your piping bag to get different looks as you can see in the purple flowers we piped ...they have yellow centers.
Triple Birthday Cake
'Happy, Happy, Happy' was used to represent the three Birthdays being celebrated. In total, we used 3 different tips and nearly covered the entire cake in flowers ...they take a little getting used to, but we loved working with them.
Triple Birthday Cake
This cake was a single 10-inch layer - a full-sized layer that was 2-inches tall - so it was a good size. It was a dairy free Vanilla & Dark Chocolate Marble Cake with dairy free Vanilla Signature Hybrid (Cupcake) Frosting.
Triple Birthday Cake
These were a dream to work with - they did the majority of the work themselves - we just had to adjust to the different technique. We're already thinking of a special 'Spring-time' Cake using these ...we can't wait to roll it out!
'Gamers' Cake
-- ...and Matching Cookies --
'Gamers' Cake
-- ...and Matching Cookies --
xBox Cake
This was a custom order for a teenage Birthday Party.
xBox Cake
Matching xBox Cookies were a 'must', so we crafted these delicious little - well, 3-inch - morsels using our Thick and Tender Cutouts and our freshly made Vanilla Fondant ...pretty cool, huh?
xBox Cake
This was a 10-inch Signature Vanilla cake with the optional third layer added on; it had our amazing freshly made chocolate mousse filling in it and a lot of fondant work!
xBox Cake
Because the design was just brought to us as an idea, we did some research and then came up with a basic design that used standard xBox colors ...very bright green, black and medium gray to create a very cool, 'teenager-type' look (...at least we thought so).
xBox Cake
We decided to use a large xBox logo on the top of the cake in addition to the cookie-sized logos and stripes on the side of the cake, then surrounded it with bursts of black frosting and bright green sprinkles for that final 'pop' of color.
xBox Cake
...now, we usually get requests for a Cupcake/Cake 'Set', but in this instance we had a Cookie/Cake request, which really did come out fantastic...
xBox Cake
...we just hope it was a Happy Birthday and everything was enjoyed. We can make all of your Custom Order 'Sets' as well ...just let us know what you need and we'll show you what the options are!

A Pink Star Wars Birthday
This design was requested because our 'Original' Star Wars Cupcakes were found in a search ...what better cupcake for a little fan-girl?!
A Pink Star Wars Birthday
...and a cake was requested as well! This was a 2-layer, 9-inch Signature Vanilla Cake filled with a Cookies & Cream Signature Cupcake Frosting/Filling then frosted with a Pink Vanilla Buttercream.
A Pink Star Wars Birthday
...with a lot of adorable fondant work added to tie everything in! Obviously Princess Leia was the focus, but she brought her friends Yoda...
A Pink Star Wars Birthday
...Chewie...
A Pink Star Wars Birthday
...C3P0...
A Pink Star Wars Birthday
...and R2D2 along as well! All of them were custom cut fondant appliques.
A Pink Star Wars Birthday
We added additional fondant accents - border ribbon, stars, etc. - some 'starry' glitter and an absolutely stunning upper border that included mostly Vanilla Frostings colored in varying shades of pink, some white, a little black ,,,and even some Cookies & Cream to tie the cake filling in.
A Pink Star Wars Birthday
An absolutely adorable Pink Star Wars 'set' ...we hope the force is with this special little one! ...and that she enjoyed her cake and cupcakes too!

'Original' Star Wars Cupcakes
An incredibly popular selection that we actually offer on a regular basis, but one that was originally a Special Order.
'Original' Star Wars Cupcakes
You can choose an 'Basic' Cupcake that we then decorate as shown ...with dark blue Signature Cupcake Frosting, glitter, sliver non-pariels and custom freshly made vanilla fondant toppers!
'Original' Star Wars Cupcakes
Traditionally we top your Cupcakes with the Death Star, Darth Vader, C3P0 and Yoda, but we also offer Chewie and a few Fighting Air/Spacecraft as well ...whatever you choose, they're sure to get a big response!
'Original' Star Wars Cupcakes
So, first thing's first ...BB8 isn't made of cake - it's a figure that we added to the cake by request.
'Original' Star Wars Cupcakes
This was a rather large cake that was incredibly cool and matched the cupcakes that were ordered with it.
'Original' Star Wars Cupcakes
A 10-inch base tier with a 7-inch top tier filled with chocolate mousse and frosted with a dark navy blue vanilla bean buttercream.
'Original' Star Wars Cupcakes
We hand-cut all the fondant lettering in the Star Wars font to fit the theme.
'Original' Star Wars Cupcakes
We dusted the buttercream with blue edible glitter to make it shimmery and then added tiny silver non-pariels as 'stars'
'Original' Star Wars Cupcakes
We added the cake fondant cutouts from the cupcakes ...plus a few more styles; again, to tie things together.
'Original' Star Wars Cupcakes
...and, voila! The 'Original' Star Wars cake was born! One of our favorite cakes ...just so incredibly cool.
Tsum Tsum Birthday Cake
-- Including 'Smash Cake' --
Tsum Tsum Birthday Cake
-- Including 'Smash Cake' --
Tsum Birthday Cake
Tsum Tsums - pronounced 'sooom soooms' ...have you heard of them? They're the cutest little Disney item to come out lately ...they come in 3 sizes - small, medium and large and they're stackable. They come in plushy versions as well. They're becoming really hot in the toy ...and cake apparently - world.
Tsum Birthday Cake
We were asked to make a Tsum Tsum Birthday Cake - and Smash Cake - featuring some of the birthday girls' (with help from her brother and sister) favorite Tsum Tsums.
Tsum Birthday Cake
The cake itself is a 3-layer 10-inch Signature Vanilla Cake with a Chocolate Mousse filling and Vanilla Bean Buttercream Frosting ...we clearly used our freshly made Vanilla Fondant to fashion all of the Tsum Tsums who've come to decorate the happy cake.
Tsum Birthday Cake
A lot of fondant work went into making the desired Tsum Tsums for the cake.
Tsum Birthday Cake
Overall it took about 6 hours to design, color, hand cut and assemble all of the the fondant for the cake.
Tsum Birthday Cake
Rapunzel was 'Numero Uno' so she got the top of the cake...
Tsum Birthday Cake
...and as we travel around the cake, we have Minnie...
Tsum Birthday Cake
...Dumbo...

Tsum Birthday Cake

Tsum Birthday Cake
...and of course Mickey!
Tsum Birthday Cake
...and for the smash cake, who could possibly forget Pluto - no longer a planet but still Mickey's favorite pal ...and the king of the smash cake!
Tsum Birthday Cake
A lot of work went into this one ...as does all of our cakes - we treat them like we were making them for our own family. We hope this cake was enjoyed by all at the big event! Happy Birthday!
Ombre Baptismal Cake
Ombre Baptismal Cake
Baptismal Cake
Big Cake for a Big Day! This was a Half-Sheet Cake with the corners removed creating a very large cross.
Baptismal Cake
This was a Neapolitan Cake with 2-inch layers of Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla.
Baptismal Cake
Instead of our traditional frosting ...of Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla, we were asked to execute a very soft Pink Ombre Palette.
Baptismal Cake
We created a banner out of or freshly made Vanilla Fondant so everyone knew who the guest of honor was...
Baptismal Cake
...made little ombre ruffles for the banner...
Baptismal Cake
...and made quite a beautiful cake for the little sweetheart and her family. This is a cake perfect for all those special ceremonies, First Communions, Confirmations ...we're more than happy to decorate it to suit your needs!
The 'Scattered Roses' Cake
-- ...and Matching Cupcakes --
The 'Scattered Roses' Cake
-- ...and Matching Cupcakes --
Scattered Roses Cake & Cupcakes
This is a cake that we produced for a Birthday but we've been tapped to make this cake for a Wedding in the past ...we've actually made these as 'Table Cakes' for the Wedding, in which every table got it's own little cake to cut at the reception.
Scattered Roses Cake & Cupcakes
We make simple little roses - and groupings of roses - using our freshly made vanilla fondant placing them somewhat randomly over the entire cake.
Scattered Roses Cake & Cupcakes
...we do the same for the cupcakes that accompany the cake as well tying it all together.
Scattered Roses Cake & Cupcakes
It's really a very simple, 'casual yet elegant' type look that - like our 'Dozen Roses Cake' can be executed in any flavor(s) of cake that you'd prefer ...another 'plus' when using this cake at a Wedding or Anniversary.
First Birthday Cake

First Birthday Cake

First Birthday Cake & Smash Cake
This was a large, very beautiful cake that was taken from photos found online, we were asked to re-create it.
First Birthday Cake & Smash Cake
We basically delivered this cake with some minor requested 'tweaks' to color, but aside from that...
First Birthday Cake & Smash Cake
...only the gold hearts were changed, in the original photo they were simply dots ...aside from that, the overall design was basically kept intact.
First Birthday Cake & Smash Cake
We were also asked to make a smash cake for the little one to go to town on.
First Birthday Cake & Smash Cake
We added a decorative sparkly gold '1' just as requested...
First Birthday Cake & Smash Cake
...which definitely made the cake 'pop'!
First Birthday Cake & Smash Cake
Turned out beautifully don't you think?

LaSalle Yacht Club Cake
This was an Anniversary Cake of sorts celebrating 80 years of the Yacht Club.
LaSalle Yacht Club Cake
We were asked to re-create the logo on the cake and filled in where we could with nautical themed iconography.
LaSalle Yacht Club Cake
...rope, waves, flags, piers ...all using the colors of the club ...and here's a fun fact: this was a half sheet cake that was actually half chocolate and half vanilla ...nice, huh? Something for everyone!
LaSalle Yacht Club Cake
This cake was a centerpiece of the Anniversary ...here's to 80 more years!
The 'Seattle Seahawks Cake'
The 'Seattle Seahawks Cake'
Seahawks Cake
A cake that a mom ordered for her son who just loved the Seattle Seahawks!
Seahawks Cake
The colors were easy - frosting from ‘Seahawk Blue’ at the top to 'Turf-green' at the bottom where we piped some 'grass' and placed some field hash-marks.
Seahawks Cake
We used our 'go-to' freshly made vanilla fondant again to take care of the logo...
Seahawks Cake
...and you'll notice that every yard line is the 10-yard line ...want to guess why? Yep, the birthday boy was 10 years old ...we like doing that kind of thing where we can.
Seahawks Cake
This cake was so well received that the birthday boy's sister was a bit jealous of it and wanted to know what type of cake she was going to get that would meet the results of his! Yeah, that sounds like Sweet E's just scored big-time with this one!
Hawaiian/Luau Birthday Cake
Hawaiian/Luau Birthday Cake
Hawaiian Birthday Cake
This was a cake that was brought to us by a loyal customer who apparently has faith in what we provide as she told us it was her daughter's birthday and that she wanted a Hawaiian/Luau Cake and left us to work the rest out.
Hawaiian Birthday Cake
Needless to say, we were thrilled that we were given that type of freedom ...to just come up with a design and 'go with it' just like that? It's a dream! So, we started to think of iconic Hawaiian/luau things...
Hawaiian Birthday Cake
...surfboards, leis, grass skirts ...hibiscus flowers! Gorgeous coral and orange-y sunset colors ...it's easy to find that type of inspiration!
Hawaiian Birthday Cake
...so, we ran with it. We started with the beautiful frosting color palette...
Hawaiian Birthday Cake
...added some very 'Hawaiian Shirt' Hibiscus flowers...
Hawaiian Birthday Cake
...strung together our own little fresh vanilla fondant lei...
Hawaiian Birthday Cake
...and cut a whole lot of 'grass' for the grass skirt we draped across the back side of the cake.
Hawaiian Birthday Cake
...oh, and there's the surfboard we placed on the top of the cake right along the edge of a coarse sugar/sand beach!
Hawaiian Birthday Cake
...and then the cake topper. The customer and the birthday girl were so happy with this cake that they texted us a picture of her with the cake that evening - we keep that to this day because that was one of the greatest things we could have gotten ...a confirmation of our 'cake success!'
The Princess Cake
The Princess Cake
The Princess Cake
One would think that this cake would be for a little girl's birthday right? Well, this cake was in fact, for a customers' Mom who'd always told her of the cakes that the customers' Grandma would get her for her birthday's as a child.
The Princess Cake
This was a very large - 12-inch base layers - Neapolitan Cake that we actually needed to do 2-layers of each flavor to compensate for the provided Barbie Doll's long legs!
The Princess Cake
Decorated in beautiful Pink Ombre Rosettes, this Barbie Doll looked truly like a little Princess ...and we hope the birthday girl felt like a Princess as well!
The 'Girly-Girl' Birthday Cake
The 'Girly-Girl' Birthday Cake
'Girly-Girl' Birthday Cake
This cake was an order for a little girl's birthday party ...the little birthday girl happened to be a very 'girly-girl' and everything NEEDED to be in pink...
'Girly-Girl' Birthday Cake
...from the top tier - a 6-inch, 3-layer Signature Chocolate Cake filled with Raspberry Hybrid Buttercream - frosted with a soft pink Vanilla Buttercream and decorated with accents of bright pink Sixlets...
'Girly-Girl' Birthday Cake
...to the bottom tier - an 8-inch, 3-layer Signature Vanilla Cake filled with Raspberry Hybrid Buttercream - decorated in Pink Ombre Rosettes.
'Girly-Girl' Birthday Cake
The banner - simply her name - that we created for her, was even extra-special with cute little pink pinwheels!
'Girly-Girl' Birthday Cake
This was definitely a Girly-Girl's Birthday Cake if we've ever seen one ...and word has it that despite it's size, this was the first cake that she'd ever had that was completely gone by the end of the event! That must have been a Happy Birthday indeed!
The 'Soccer Ball Cake'
The 'Soccer Ball Cake'
Soccer Cake
Asked for Birthday Cake ideas for a 10-year old boy who loves soccer; we pulled up some pictures and gave the options we felt we could offer. This is the ultimate result ...it goes down as one of our favorites!

...again, a lot of fondant work went into this one. Almost 90% of the cake was covered in it; but, that's not something that should scare anyone off as we get compliments all the time on our freshly made vanilla fondant. People are always surprised that it tastes so good.
Soccer Cake
From the Referee Striped Base layer, to the grass that decorated the tiers, to the 'ball-tier' itself ...this cake was soccer, soccer, non-stop soccer!...and we really hope the birthday boy enjoyed it!
Ruffled Wedding Cake

Ruffled Wedding Cake
This was a beautiful design for a Wedding Cake; Navy Blue and Fuchsia. The 14-inch ruffled tier required over 300 2-inch discs of our freshly made vanilla fondant to complete - it turned out beautifully! The remaining 10 and 8-inch tiers of the cake were frosted in a basic white, non-dairy frosting, then accented with navy blue ribbon and a large navy blue flower. The Wedding theme was 'Nautical' and we were also asked to tie it all in with our 'Not So Mini' Mini Cupcakes frosted in the same colors, each topped with a little piece of Fondant 'Rope'. It was a very classy Cake/Cupcakes 'Set' that we were happy to provide!

Finding Dory Cake
Finding Dory Cake
Finding Dory Cake
This was a 'Finding Dory' Cake that could actua;lly have been either a 'Finding Dory' or a 'Finding Nemo' Cake to tell you the truth - we were thrilled when this special order came in because it was so colorful and fun to work on.
Finding Dory Cake
We used some little Finding Dory figures that fit perfectly 'size-wise' with the cake, that double as a little 'after-cake' bonus gift for the Birthday Girl whose party it was.
Finding Dory Cake
Crush and Mr. Ray took up residence on the lower tier among all of the seaweed that we piped on and the coral that - in most instances - we made from our freshly made vanilla fondant.
Finding Dory Cake
We spent a lot of time with the corals for this cake - coloring everything to be bright and happy; we used some natural colored coarse sugar as 'sand' at the base of each of the tiers and then worked up from there.
Finding Dory Cake
We left the top 'half-tier' near the 'drop off' as the special spot for both Dory and Nemo ...undertow? '...Let's go!'
Finding Dory Cake
When you look at the back of the cake the size is really put into perspective! That's four 2-inch layers ...it's a really large cake!
Finding Dory Cake
We were very happy with this one and can easily duplicate any specific design features for your cake if the 'Under the Sea' theme is something that you're looking for!
'Mermaid Cake'
'Mermaid Cake'
Mermaid Cake
This was a cake requested for a little girls' birthday ...she loved mermaids. It was a half-sheet cake that gave us a lot of space to come up with the perfect design. Here's what we came up with!
Mermaid Cake
We decided to use our freshly made vanilla fondant for the majority of decoration on this cake ...it's easy to use, can be made into an endless array of colors and it tastes great too - not like commercially produced fondant.
Mermaid Cake
We decorated the sides of the cake in mermaid tail 'scales' and ocean waves. When we moved to the top of the cake, we thought we'd add some 'graham cracker 'sand', shells and starfish and finally...
Mermaid Cake
...the adorable little mermaid herself!

The 'Deflate-gate' Cake
The 'Deflate-gate' Cake
This cake was a request for a raging New England Patriots fan ...which we - as Buffalo Bills fans - were more than happy to make!
The 'Deflate-gate' Cake
A two-layer Signature Vanilla Cake swirled with New England Patriots colors and baked in 10x15 pan - in between a quarter and a half-sheet cake - made it the perfect size for a party of approximately 20 guests
The 'Deflate-gate' Cake
Frosted with our creamy vanilla hybrid buttercream in a dark 'astroturf-green' with a grassy texture applied to the top and fondant field marks, made the 'sidelines' look very official.
The 'Deflate-gate' Cake
We applied '10' through '50' on two sides of the cake with our fresh vanilla fondant and '10' through '50' on the other two sides as well making it a very 'balanced' cake.
The 'Deflate-gate' Cake
The Football itself - made of the same cake as the base - was then carved to look 'deflated' prior to the application of more fresh vanilla fondant with a very faint texture patterned on the surface.
The 'Deflate-gate' Cake
A complimentary, custom 'Happy Birthday' Banner and a Bright Yellow fondant Penalty Flag - to add a 'pop' of color - finished this cake off ...and maybe, because we're from Buffalo, we 'sub-consciously' used the flag to make a tiny bit of a statement!

Miniature Re-creation Wedding Cake
So, we were recently contacted by a customer with an approaching First Anniversary. Her problem... they didn't keep their top tier for the occasion and she wanted to surprise her husband with a miniature version of their HUGE original wedding cake - as shown in this picture. She said the flowers weren't necessary and we could just 'get it close'. It was a White Vanilla Cake with Raspberry Filling - which we make ourselves - and White Vanilla Buttercream.
Miniature Re-creation Wedding Cake
...well, because of the 'Miniature' request we could only do 2-layers, otherwise it would be a full-size cake - so we made a 3/4 scale 2-layer 6 & 3-inch tiered cake, used freshly made fondant colored to match their original ribbon and - because we just couldn't give her the re-creation without the flowers - we whipped up some quick purple-toned fresh fondant flowers to mimic the original decorations. Here's what we received from her after we delivered her very special request: 'I can't even begin to tell you how awesome the cake is! I've been parading it around like a newborn baby! Thank you so much!' ...no, thank YOU - we're thrilled that you were happy with your cake and wish you many years of happiness together!
The 'Golf Cake'
The 'Golf Cake'
The Golf Cake
This was a cake that was requested for a husband/dad's birthday ...it started out as a square cake, changed to an oval and then finally settled into a nice 9-inch 2-layer round cake.
The Golf Cake
It was one of our delicious Vanilla cakes with a layer of creamy Signature Cupcake frosting as a filling.
The Golf Cake
Before we frosted the cake in our Vanilla Buttercream, we created rolling hills for the green to give it a 'real' look ...because what golf green is as flat as cake?!
The Golf Cake
We added a coarse Turbinado sugar sand trap and some tall Buttercream 'grass' around the freshly made fondant green and the base of the cake.
The Golf Cake
We thought the sides of the cake needed a little decoration, so we cut additional smaller greens and made sure each - including the main green on the top of the cake - all had a little 'cup'.
The Golf Cake
We added a tiny little golf ball that we can proudly say we ensured had even tinier little dimples and laid it just outside the cup ...missed it by that much!
The Golf Cake
This truly went down as one of our all-time favorite cakes - it was so incredibly fun. When the customer saw it, she said that she neither wanted to cut it nor put candles in it! ...yep, it was that good looking.
The Golf Cake
A custom Golf Flag 'Happy Birthday' sign was our pleasure to make to both announce the celebration and tie in another golf icon completing the cakes' theme.
The 'Avengers Cake'
The 'Avengers Cake'
Avengers Cake
This was requested for a Birthday Girl who happens to love The Avengers.
Avengers Cake
A large 10-inch square Red Velvet Cake with a traditional Cream Cheese Filling and our delicious Vanilla Buttercream and freshly made Vanilla Fondant for the exterior.
Avengers Cake
Captain America, Thor, Hulk and Iron Man each have a segment of the cake as their own and each design is hand-cut from our fresh fondant.
Avengers Cake
The sides of the cake show a city at dusk.

This cake was a LOT of work, but we think it came out beautifully.

Two-Tier 95th Birthday Cake
Well you don't see many 95th Birthdays! Which is why we made this cake an extra special, extra large, two-tier vanilla cake with fresh strawberry buttercream filling ...one of the birthday girls' favorites! We decorated it with beautiful pink, fresh fondant 'confetti', corkscrew 'streamers' and chunky hand-cut fondant numbers. A beautiful cake for anyone!

We also feature this cake on the Holidays/Independence Day page but we like it so much we wanted to show more pictures of this fantastic cake.
The 'Let's Celebrate 'Merica! ' Cake
A lot of fondant work goes into this particular cake, possibly more fondant than any of the other cakes that we regularly offer.
The 'Let's Celebrate 'Merica! ' Cake
From the Red, White & Blue bunting around the entire upper circumference...
