Gracie's Wedding Cake




I had sooo much fun working on this cake! Gracie and her mother, Mary, were a dream to work with. The green in this cake is so beautiful. I'm hoping the photographer got a better picture of it than I did! The hydrangeas are silk flowers but the rest are made from sugar. The groom's cake was alot of fun too. Everything on it is totally edible. My daughter, Chelsey, freehand drew those playing cards on the top!!!!! She did SUCH an amazing job!!!!

Website Suggestions Anyone?

I'm going to spend the next week or so going over my website, trying to update information and make it as user friendly as possible. If anyone would like to offer any suggestions, any information you feel is lacking that you would like to see added, anyway to make it easier to navigate....I'd love to hear your suggestions. Feel free to email me at brenscakes@yahoo.com.

Thanks!

Aaron and Matt's Commitment Ceremony Cake


Aaron was really great to work with. He came to our consultation with his invitation, and we matched the piping to it almost exactly. The flowers on top are made out of chocolate. It ended up being a really cool design!

Chelsey's Senior Pictures




We went last week to have my daughter's senior pictures taken. I'm so lucky that I have such talented customers! Lori, of Studio Williams (see link on side), did such an amazing job with these! She totally captured my daughter's sweet spirit. We can't wait to see the rest of the pictures. Thank you so much, Lori! You are one talented lady!!!

Choo-Choo, All Aboard!

My favorite cake from this week! Another of my favorite customers, Missy, ordered this one for Luke's 4th birthday. They're having engineer hats and bandanas as party favors, so this should fit right in.

Dionne and Roy's Wedding Cake


I really loved how this cake turned out. It's definitely different than most of my wedding cakes, but that's what keeps me on my toes! Dionne and Roy were a pleasure to work with, as was the florist, Jody, who was kind enough to coordinate her delivery time with mine so we could deal with the cake's fresh flowers together. And I love how the crystals add a little of the "bling" factor!

Dog Cupcakes


My daughter is a senior this year and attends a vet tech program. The class was kind enough to spend their day grooming all THREE of our dogs, who, quite frankly, hadn't seen a brush in awhile. (Lazy pet owner!) I made these as a thank you for the amazing job they did! The dogs are modeled out of chocolate clay. I made the cupcake wrappers out of scrapbook paper, then I did their names with the new funky letter tappits. I had alot of fun with these, and the recipients were very, very deserving!

Tracy's 40th Birthday


Liz is one of my favorite customers. She always comes up with a really cool design, and it's always something I haven't tried before. Liz was also amazing enough to design my very first ad that will be coming out in Columbus Bride at the end of this month!

Wecome to my Blog

This is my first blogging attempt, so I'm sure I'll have alot to learn. I'm hoping I'll be able to get cake pictures uploaded faster this way than I do when I update my site. We'll see. :)
