Picing and General Information

What make my cakes special?

I strive to make not only make delicious tasting cakes, but to also make amazing pieces of edible art.  I bake using cage free/hormone free eggs and Shatto milk which is from locally raised cows (not treated with rbST or rbGH).  Then to top it all off I make my own fondant too, helping to eliminate preservatives.  Each cake has hours of love invested; from design to pick up.  For this reason I require a $40 minimum order for any project regardless of size or occasion.  I do not offer sheet style cakes or Barbie/doll cakes.  Highly detailed items such as fondant or gum paste flowers, 3D figures or any other labor intensive decorations start at $5.00 apiece.  Tiered (6" with an 8") first birthday cakes receive a free 4x2" smash cake or discounted 6" cake if requested.





How much will my cake cost?


My minimum order is a 6" round cake that serves up to 10 and starts at $40 for a basic cake flavor and simplistic design.  A good way to estimate approximate prices for any occasion (birthday, wedding, etc.) is to multiply how many servings you need by $5.00.  That will give you a rough idea of the price range.  You could end up less or more depending on the design and detailing.  Sugar flowers will generally add to the price along with heavy detailing and figures.  Please note I do not create character cakes or licensed figurines. I can create a cake with the general theme and you can add store bought figurines after pick up if you choose. 





When to book your date?


The earlier the better!  Since this is a one man show and I only take on a limited amount of projects per month, I end up having to turn down quite a few requests.  Your date is booked once I have received a nonrefundable deposit of half the total cost of your order.  The remaining balance is due one month prior to the event date. If full payment has not been made your order will be canceled and no refund with be given.  If you should need to cancel your order a refund of anything paid above the deposit amount may be granted as long as a minimum of 2 weeks’ notice has been given and no work has begun on your order (flowers and figures are often made in advance to allow time for drying).   If the balance is not paid one month before your booked event date your cake will not be made.





Do you charge more for wedding cakes?


Absolutely not!  Every cake is priced based on the design and time needed to create that specific project, not the occasion it was created for. 





Is there a delivery option?


Delivery is free within 15 miles on all cakes over $100, but this must be discussed and decided when the cake is booked or it may not be available for your date and time.  Delivery may be available for locations further than 15 miles away at a rate of $2.50/mile.

Toadstool Baby Shower

I was yet again lucky to have the pleasure and honor of making a cake for a friend who was about to become a new mommy!  The theme for this show . . . yep you guessed it gnomes and toadstools!  This was my first time ever attempting to make a toadstool cake.


The cake is a red velvet cake, filled with a cream cheese frosting and iced with vanilla butter cream.  It was then covered and decorated with MMF.  The gnome is a figurine I found at Hobby Lobby and the amazing cake stand was hand made by my extremely talented father-in-law!

Triplets Cake

To say these cakes were made for 3 of the most amazing kids would be a huge understatement!  Between struggles vision impairment, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, and  infantile seizures they have been through it all.  So when my friend asked me to make her kids birthday cakes this year I was honored!

There was no "theme" for this event.  They wanted to keep it a small and intimate gathering of close friends and family.  Keeping that in mind

we decided to do 3 individual cakes.  Besides just because they share a birthday doesn't mean they have to share a cake!  Each cake was covered and decorated with MMF.  The cakes were a double chocolate cake, filled with a vanilla mousse and iced with a vanilla butter cream.

Rainbow Cake

This cake was made for a DEAR friend's daughters first birthday!  The top layer was a vanilla cake baked into 6 different layes; each a color of the rainbow.  It was then filled and iced with a vanilla butter cream. 

The cake is covered in and decorated with MMF.

To make the candles flame I used a small piece of yellow fondant and marbled in a little dab of orange food coloring.  

Grumpy Old Men

My husband is about to turn the big 3-0 and I've been giving him a hard time about getting "old". So I thought what better way to celebrate then with a Grumpy Old Men party! For his cake I decided to make a pocket watch cake.

The cake is made from a 8" round cake. It is a dark chocolate cake filled with a chocolate and banana butter cream  then sprinkled with dark chocolate shavings. It was then covered in homemade marshmallow fondant. The nobbs and chain were also made of MMF. I then cute a 5" circel and handpainted the numbers. The 8" cake, clock hands and nobs were then paint with edible gold paint.

Not too Sweet - Sweet 16

This cake I made for a Sweet 16. It was covered in and decorated with MMF. The skull topper was sculpted from MMF , details were the carved into the sculpture and then it was painted. The top tier was a banana split cake. It's a vanilla based cake with mashed bananas added to the batter. It was then filled with a layer of dark chocolate icing, homemade vanilla whipped cream and chopped cherries. The bottom tier was a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and whipped filling.

Sushi! Happy Birthday Ryan!

Here is my second cake since baby! If you recall back in March I made a sushi cake for my brother's birthday. Well a friend if mine saw it and asked me to make a red velvet cake for her boyfriend's birthday. I didn't want to make the same exact cake, but knew she wanted the table. So, I decided to make the table setting a little different this time. As luck would have it, this cake matched their table scape PERFECTLY!

Cake was red velvet with cream cheese filling, crumb coated with vanilla BC, covered and decorated with MMF. TFL!

After a 3 month hiatus I'm back! Giving birth to my beautiful baby girl was the most amazing experience! She is definitely the best thing I'll EVER bake from scratch.

This is a dark chocolate cake with homemade vanilla whipped cream and sliced strawberries as filling. It is iced in vanilla BC and is covered and decorated with MMF. Happy birthday Mama Smith!

Oh How Tweet! Sarah's Sprinkle

This weekend I hosted a baby shower for my sister.  With it being her 3rd child she didn't want anything huge and over the top, so we had a sprinkle instead!   

This is the cake I made for her, it coordinated with her invites.  The cake was a chocolate fudge cake.  Then the layers alternated with chocolate pudding and chocolate whipped icing.  Each layer also had sliced strawberries.  It was then covered in chocolate MMF.  At the decor was made from MMF and then hand painted.  TFL!

Chicago Bears

This cake was made for my Dad's 56th birthday! We are HUGE Chicago fans, so I decided to make him a Bears themed cake. It is almost impossible to tell from the picture, but the blue fondant is impressed with balloons, "Happy Birthday", and "Celebrate". The cake and cake board are decorated with MMF. I then painted the numbers onto the cake board using Wilton's White-White.


My dad's not a big dessert person, but loves his peanut butter cups. So, every year I make him a chocolate cake with a peanut butter filling. This year I decided to switch it up a bit. So, I made him a Peanut butter silk cake. I followed the cake recipe and changed the filling just a little. I added cocoa powdered and a little powdered sugar; giving him a peanut butter cake with a chocolate-peanut butter mousse. I then sprinkled crushed up butterfingers on top of the mousse; giving each bite just a bit of a crunch!  TFL

75th Birthday - Mardi Gras Theme

I was lucky enough to be asked to do a 75th birthday cake for one of my closest friend's (growing up) dad!  This was a FUN one to do too!  The theme was Mardi Gras.  I knew I couldn't do a Mardi Gras cake without at least one mask, and if there is going to be one you might as well do two!!!!  The masks were made from MMF and painted with edible gold paint.  They had originally asked for a 2 tier cake, but I decided a 75th birthday REALLY needed a 3rd tier :-)  All 3 tiers were marble cake, which I used vanilla cake, chocolate cake and melted chocolate.  So each bite had a nice chocolate surprise!  Then the top and bottom tier were filled with vanilla BC; while the middle tier had chocolate mousse!  The cake was covered in white MMF and then decorated with MMF (the gold was painted using edible paint).  To keep the medal wires from touching the cake I inserted a straw, which then butted up to the dowel.  The cake was stabilized using a wooden dowel that went from the top tier through the bottom (leaving about a 2" gap on the top for the straw).    TFL!!!!

My sister's birthday cake was a Mojito Cake by Betty Crocker!  This is my FAVORITE cake and is now my sister's also :-)

Her two favorite colors are purple and teal.  The cake is covered and decorated in MMF.  The board is also covered in MMF and I used the Wilton Happy Birthday Fondant Imprint Mat to add a little texture and decoration.  The cake board, flower and teal circles were all dusted with edible silver dust.  TFL!!!!!!!!!!!

Baby Anisten! - Great Expectations II

This cake was for one of my phenomenal friends baby showers!  The top tier was a strawberry cake with a whipped cream filling and the bottom tier was yellow cake with chocolate mousse.  The cake is covered in and decorated in MMF.  Her shower theme was Great Expectations.  This was my first time making a 3-D umbrella and mini bows.  The board was covered in MMF and I used Star Power Fondant Imprint Mat.  Each of the circles, ribbons, and dots on the umbrella was dusted with edible silver dust.  TFL

Celebrating Baby Kaylee - Mia Rose Cake

Sorry this picture is sideways.  I've tried EVERYTHING to get it right side up!!!!!!!!  I made this cake for one of my BEST friends baby shower.  She is expecting her first child (Kaylee) and I was blessed enough to be asked to make the cake!!!!!!  Her shower theme was . . . you guessed it pink and brown.  So I chose to base her cake off of her baby bedding CoCaLo Mia Rose

The top tier was a 4" cake which I made from pound cake.  The middle tier was strawberry cake with a chocolate mousse filling.  While the bottom was death by chocolate, dark chocolate cake with chocolate mousse.  All the layers were iced in chocolate butter cream.  The 3 tiers are covered and decorated in fondant.  The pink fondant is strawberry MMF and the brown fondant is chocolate MMF.  The name plate, butterflies and middle tier were all hand painted.  I had SO much fun with this cake, it's the first one in a while that I haven't had any instructions and got to just design and go.

Dr. Seuss New Fish Baby Shower

This was for a baby shower with a Dr. Seuss theme "One fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, New Fish." The top tier was honey ginger cake with caramel apple filling and the bottom layer was chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling. It was covered and decorated in MMF and hand painted.

Felp Wedding Cake

This is my second wedding cake!  She wanted the flavors to resemble the fall them so I made the top tier was a honey ginger cake with a caramel apple filling, the middle tier was a spiced apple cake with a salted caramel filling, and the bottom layer was chocolate cake with caramel filling and drizzled with a caramel sauce for all the chocolate lovers.  The cake was then covered and decorated with MMF and the leaves were hand painted to add depth and detailing.

Felps Wedding - Groom's Cake

Our friend asked me to make a special cake for the groom.  She wanted it to resemble a bottle cap from his favorite drink.  The cake board was covered in fondant and hand painted to look like wood.  The cake was his favorite flavors, yellow cake with chocolate mousse filling.  It was then covered in MMF and hand painted.  TFL!!!!!!!!!

Bach Wedding!

This was my very first wedding cake!  Our friends asked me to be the one to have the honors in making their wedding cake.  The top and bottom layer were lemon cake with vanilla BC and lemon filling alternating the torted layers.  The middle layer was white cake with lemon filling.  The border was hand pipped on and the "ribbon" and monogram were made from MMF and then painted with an edible gold paint. 

Unfortunately I wasn't able to go to the wedding (I was in my first trimester and puking), so my husband got to be the one to deliver the cake.  While during transit there was a bit of a traffic problem and to avoid an accident he had to hit the breaks.  This caused the middle tier to shift ever so slightly and mess up the hand piped border.  Luckily I sent him with a repair kit.  For someone who's NEVER touched a piping bag in his life he did a really good job fixing the problem!

Welcome to Our Nest!

I'm not sure how this one got left out!  This is the cake I made for our house warming party.  It was covered in MMF (Marshmallow fondant) and had fondant letters and eggs.  The boarder is out of vanilla BC and the nest was made from dark chocolate.  The bottom cake was chocolate with fresh strawberry slices and a vanilla whipped topping and the top layer was vanilla cake with a chocolate mousse and fresh strawberries slices.   TFL!
