Lady Gaga cake

 I had a friend ask me to make her daughter a Lady Gaga cake for her birthday and we couldn't ever get our dates together so we made it for her graduation! She is a huge fan and even went to see her in concert last spring.


Texas Tech Graduation cake

 I have a teacher friend who's daughter recently graduated from Pharmacy school at Texas Tech.  Her mom asked me to make her a cake for her graduation.  I didn't have any specifics but as it turns out the partyware matched the cake perfectly! Crazy!


Gold cake with orange and turquoise accents

 This cake was made for a special girl for her birthday!  She sent a picture of something like this and asked if I would make it for her! Well....Of course I did!  It really turned out well.

Multi-age ladies cake

 This strawberry cake with cream cheese icing is a favorite of those who were celebrated with this cake.  Twin ladies and their grandmother shared this cake for a family celebration! Of course, the twins were 30 and the grandmother 95! Wow!

Small Bubble Guppies cake

 I was asked to make a small Bubble Guppies cake for a friend's grandson who would be visiting on his birthday.  I also made another cake for other family members for the same weekend...they had a big party!


Vintage coral bridal shower

 This was the second bridal shower in the same weekend and it was one of my favorites in terms of color scheme.  I love coral and had a lot of fun styling this shower.  I love the rustic edge of it as well.  Another plus to this shower was that I met the most delightful lady who asked me to do the shower in the first place.  We had so many nice conversations over details and set up.  I think I made a new friend!
 Of course, a little sweetness with white wedding cupcakes!
The centerpiece was one of my favorites!  I used a sharpie and wrote the letters LOVE on the vases before I gave them to my florist.  She did such an excellent job bringing them to life!
 Veggies in ranch dressing dip
 Chicken salad on green apple slices topped with a pecan half.

Ricotta cheese and tomato quiches

Pretty fruit skewers
Specially made "coral" punch!  I was so proud of how well it matched!  And the owner of the home let us use her beautiful lime green dishes for the shower as well!

Burlap, red and yellow bridal shower


 I love this rustic burlap and red look that I styled for this bridal shower!  It had a touch of lace and yellow to make it just feminine enough.  I also catered and styled the reception for this wedding last summer so this was a good trial run on what we liked!


This was morning shower so I decided to go with breakfast type foods for the menu!  Mini pancakes and quiches were perfect!
I offered three different types of syrup for the mini pancakes for a variety.



Cheese cake stuffed strawberries and strawberry yogurt parfaits were the perfect addition for guests to feast on during the shower!

Aztec 16th birthday cake



 I made this cake for a sweet girl I've known for years for her sweet 16th birthday!  I love it!
 It has such cool detail to it and is certainly what every 16 year old girl would love for a birthday cake!

40th birthday cake and couple other things....

 I made this for a friend's aunt who was turning 40!  The flowers are made of chocolate!  Love the colors!
 These mini cupcakes were made for a bridal shower out of town...I love the colors on these too!
A sweet lady needed a cake for a bridal shower in varied shades of pink....I think we got it done!

Jake and the Neverland Pirates cake

 I made this cake for a super sweet boy, Maddox!  He wanted a Jake and the Neverland Pirates cake...this was what I came up with for him! Complete with chocolate gold coins!

Camo hunting cake

 I made this cake for the sweetest little boy who I taught in first grade.  He is ALL boy too!  He really wanted a camo cake with a picture of him and his dad on it!  Well, I make cakes but...that was gonna be hard! LOL  This is the cake with him and his dad hunting on it! He LOVED it!  whew!

Ping Pong cake

 I made this cake for a super special guy who loves to play ping pong...It was a fun way to celebrate his birthday!

Grand piano birthday

 I was asked to help make the cake and some food for the sweetest man's birthday!  He's pretty much a legend in our little town.  He and his wife have taught many residents and children of our town piano for so many years.  Of course, that was our theme for his birthday!  And he loves lime green too! LOL

 Cucumber sandwiches

Happy Birthday! Cake

 This is probably one of my favorite birthday cakes I've made...it was for one our local businesses who have a monthly celebration for their employees!  So nice!

Delicate Pink Bridal Shower

 Well, I must say I was so very privileged to style this bridal shower.  It was my daughter's babysitter who was getting married last May!  It had to be delicate and perfect.  And have LOTS of PINK!  

 We served a citrus champagne punch and fruit infused water.
 Strawberry Cheesecake Parfaits


Fondant flowers delicately adorned each pastel cupcake that were later sent home as favors with guests.

 Caprese skewers...a favorite!

Fruit Kabobs on dainty pearl skewers
These tea sandwiches were a request by the bride's mother...they have a layer of egg salad and avocado/tomato mixture.  To die for!
