HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Happy Hallowen Everyone.

I love Halloween, even though I do not get dressed up anymore it is the one day you can be anyone you want to be. The one day you can escape from reality and have some fun. Its so much fun to see everyone's costumes. I love giving candy out to kids and now living in a house in a real neighborhood we can have fun. We have tons of kids where we are so this year should be so much fun.

Thank you to Stephanie and Leone for asking me to supply them with some Halloween fun for there office lunch parties! Have fun girls!!

When your out and about tonight, watch for kids in the street. Sometimes they get so excited they do not think to look where they are walking.

BE SAFE AND HAVE FUN!

This was a great project. Me and Nick worked on this together. Notice the lights on the wings. I love to make cakes light up. It adds something different then you basic cake. This was for Nick's Command and it was a last minute order. I got the call on Tuesday for the party on Friday. Not bad huh? Enjoy!!

OFF BEAT BRIDES

Aloha!

I love weddings. Everything about them are wonderful. From the planning stage to designing all the details to the the couples. Love is a wonderful thing and I know it sounds cheesy but it is. The only thing anyone truly needs is to love and to be loved. Its probably the best feeling to me.

One thing I like about wedding and making wedding cakes is meeting the couple and really getting to learn who they are and how we can make the wedding cake unique just like them. Some couples bring pictures of cakes, some bring the invitation and others have no idea what they want. The traditional cakes are great, simple, white, flowers. But sometimes you get brides who want a little something different. And that is always fun, a lot of colors, shape, designs...... But then you get the OFF BEAT BRIDES. These are the brides that want it totally off the wall and different. And I enjoy throwing these wedding in the mix. It shakes things up, makes people talk a little more. Back in August I made a cake for a client, who I should say now is becoming a friend. She orders from me every chance she gets...Thanks Cely. Anyway, her and Trevor had there wedding on August 2, 2008. She contacted me months prior about her cake. I have blogged about this wedding before. She did a pirate theme wedding. Everything was "piratey" as Cely put it. The officiant who married them was even dressed like a pirate. And I don't mean like a costume you get around Halloween time. This was unique, I thought I stepped back in time to a new place. It was awesome and i was so excited to be a part of this experience.

Anyway, No one says you have to have a traditional wedding. Tradition is good but these days a lot of couples are very unique. Lots of girls have tattoos, some have piercings, some dress different then mainstream. I mean that's how I am. and why should you change? Couple should have whatever they want and feel ashamed of who they really are. And I see a lot of people breaking out of that traditional mold and I love it.

So if you are one of those brides there is an awesome website for you to check out. Its called OFF BEAT BRIDE and they can be found at http://offbeatbride.com/. You can find tips and information on how to stick to who you really are. Its a great website. I like to share these things because I know sometime couple get lost along the way and there is nothing wrong with being unique and having a wedding that reflects who you are!

Here are a few non-tradtional wedding cakes and cake toppers

Happy Sunday!

Vegan and Organic Cakes are here!

In the past few months I have been receiving emails and phone calls from couples that are looking for a vegan wedding cakes. I have also been getting asked if we make organic cakes. Now I love dairy, I love to eat cakes so making vegan cakes never even entered my mind when I was making up my flavor list.
I never like to tell people no. So when my first client called me about her vegan wedding cake it took me a little bit of time to register it and think about some recipes. I did not think it would be easy to create a great tasting cake without dairy and still use high quality products to produce the same cakes I am making now. But with a little research and some experimenting I have come up with a few great cakes. I mean the flavors are so good, the textures are spot on that you would never know it was a vegan cake. I even gave the banana cake to a friend and did not tell him and he said it tasted like cake his grandmother makes........WOW!
I researched and learned about substitutes for eggs. Flax seeds ground up works well for replacing eggs. All kinds of fruit and of course soy products. Which I have to say, I am drinking soy milk now. Its really good in your morning cereal. There is a whole new world to explore with cakes.
Some of the flavors offered right now consist of......
Banana cake
Chocolate cake
Green tea cake
Chai latte cake (which tastes just like a cup chai tea)

I am still researching and experimenting, next on the list will be
Vanilla
Carrot
applesauce spice cake, just to name a few.

On my quest to find good vegan cakes, I used almost all organic ingredients and I thought that I could make organic cakes for the health and environmental conscience clients. So I took some of my recipes and used organic products and they came out great!! So if your want organic cakes, I am your girl!! Call me and we can talk about how to give you an organic cake.

So just because your a vegan or you want to watch what your eating (even if it is cake) don't be disappointed because I can make your cake for you. Please ask for updates on our flavors and set up and appointment to try them!

Have a happy and safe holiday weekend.




In my research I found this website. post Punk Kitchen. This site has some awesome information on being a vegan, how you should eat healthy and some great advice on baking. There are some good recipes too. I have made a few of them and they were Delicious.

Cupcake tiers

Aloha everyone!
I have been getting a lot of calls about cupcake tiers in place of wedding cakes. Its a great alternative to the cake. You can do so many things with cupckes as far as decoration, flavors, even liners...all kinds of things. I am posting a few tiers I have done. Hopefully it will inspire you to want to order cupcakes.

They are even great for kid parties! Everyone loves cupcakes.

All of our cupcakes all have fillings and buttercream. One of the most popular flavors is Chantilly(local) filled.They can be decorated with fondant too. Any decorations can go on top. Flowers and buterflies seem to be popular with weddings.
