In full swing.

We have weddings scheduled all most every weekend of June, July, and August! This weekend I did two drastically different looking cakes [...]

Spiral Knights Cake!

I’m thrilled to say that last week Spiral Knights (the game Ian is art lead for) went up on Steam! To celebrate I made a cake based on the game’s treasure block! It did not explode in confetti and items, but it was made of confetti cake! Last weekend I also made a simple Strawberry [...]

Another busy week at the patisserie! We’re doing cake tastings gallor and booking a lot of celebration cakes. This week’s notable cakes are a two-tiered present cake, a two-tiered baby cake, and a 4 tiered wedding cake. The present cake is just a different colored version of one a made a few months ago.

Big surprise. More cakes!

Boy has it been busy around here. Graduation, First Communion, weddings, etc. Here are a couple of the new ones worth noting! The first one is just a close up on the damask pattern on the cake. It’s only a close up because I didn’t like the toppers. The second is a single tier cherry [...]

Easter madness!

It’s almost Easter! That means I’m hoppin’ and boppin’ on Easter cookies and various other Easter treats at the patisserie. Here are a few pictures of just the plain cookies (prior to being decorated), some of my high fashion decorated cookies, and bunny bread! No it’s not actually made of bunnies, but it looks like [...]

I love being asked to do cakes for Three Rings. I know that I will always get something interesting and challenging. So when the office manager emailed me to see if I could make a cake that looked like a Nintendo I was all atwitter with excitement. This cake is about 2 inches bigger overall [...]
