As well as birthday cakes, we also did anniversary, wedding, and baby shower cakes. Here are some examples.
This was an anniversary cake for a couple who had a Christmas wedding over 40 years ago!
Here's a beautiful wedding shower cake for a bride whose colors were eggplant and cream.


A cake for an engagement party that included not only yummy chocolate fudge icing but also the design on the favor bags being distributed.

One of three cakes done for a wedding shower. We co-ordinate the cake colors and bows.
Here's the second cake of the group. (The hostess wanted one to be "fun".)

The third cake of the group. (This one was designed to look like a wedding cake.) Usually these multiple cakes are arranged at various heights on the serving table. It makes a beautiful and unusual display!

The theme for this baby shower was "candy"...so we decorated with white chocolate lollipops. It's a really cute cake!

This cake, also for a baby shower, was designed to match the bedding in the nursery.

This baby rattle cake was for a little girl who was born serveral months premature. She weighed just a little over three pounds at birth! The shower was a celebration of her coming home from the hospital.

This couples' baby shower had two cakes. The one above was for the mom and co-ordinated with the bears in the nursery.
This cake went with the bear cake above and was for the dad. The nursery was decorated to look like a cabin in the Colorado woods...so we put it on a cake!
This baby shower cake was designed to match the contemporary, sophisticated invitation.
This baby shower cake for a little boy explains what little boys are made of..."snips and snails and puppy dog tails!"
Another baby shower cake designed to match the invitation.

In November and December, we did two wedding cakes and three groom's cakes. Here they are...
This wedding was at the W Hotel in Dallas. The cake was very contemporary with a deep purple bow to match the bridesmaids dresses.
Here's a close-up of the beautiful black swirls that were on two sides of the cake.

The groom's cake was a sculpted cake that was a copy of his favorite hole at the Dallas Cowboy Golf Club in Grapevine.
This wedding was held at the bride's home. The sides of the cake were decorated with flowers that matched the lace of her dress. The top two tiers of the cake were placed on spacers to give the small cake a grander look.

Here is a close-up of the flowers and pearls that looked like the lace of the wedding gown.

This groom's cake was red velvet with cream cheese icing. It was decorated with sugared fruit and lemon leaves.

This groom's cake was a replica of his guitar. It was plugged in and sat on the box his guitar came in. (People at the wedding actually thought it WAS a guitar!)

In November and December, we did lots of different cakes...from soccer parties to retirements to christening to holiday. Here's a sample of our efforts.
