Groom's Cake

My friend who works for Anheuser-Busch requested this groom's cake to be served at his rehearsal dinner. The flavor was vanilla with a hint of lime to compliment the flavor of the beer.



Here's a side-by-side label comparison.

More of the Backstory

Here's another picture post!


This cute cake was done for a 3-year-old's birthday. This Wiggles and Big Red Car inspired cake was so much fun to make. The cake is devil's food, the icing is buttercream and the Wiggles image is royal icing (and edible!). (10.5.08)





Who said wine and sweets don't go together? This strawberry birthday cake is frosted and decorated with cream cheese icing and the label is customized for the birthday girl. (3.709)





While we're on the subject of alcohol, this Budweiser inspired cake looks refreshing bursting out of the water. The can, a carved 3-d image, was only disappointing to the 23-year-old birthday boy because there wasn't really beer in it! To satisfy all party-goers, the can was vanilla cake and the base was chocolate. After serving it around a bunch of hungry friends at the bowling alley, there wasn't one morsel left! (11.28.08)





This cake was for a 4-year-old girl who loves "The Little Mermaid." The coral, Sebastian, Flounder and Ariel are made out of royal icing and the shells are colored chocolates. (10.26.08)




This 6th birthday cake was for a little country music fan who already loves to play the guitar. The decorations are all chocolate or vanilla buttercream. (2.21.09)





Speaking of boys and their pasttimes, this birthday cake was made for a guy who is a huge Carolina Panthers fan. This double layer chocolate cake also had chocolate pudding as a filling. (12.21.08)





For a change of pace, this zebra striped cake with pink accents (there's also pink fringe around the base) was for Michelle's 19th birthday.





This whimsical beach cake was done for a mom's birthday party. The free-form waves around the sides are buttercream icing and the top is graham cracker crumbs. The adirondak chairs were crafted from tongue depressors and q-tips and then hand painted. The kite is on beading wire with ric-rac tails. (2.14.09)

Have Your Cake... And Eat It Too! Welcome to my cake blog. I began baking and taking Wilton classes in January 2008 and it has quickly become a passion and something I strive to improve upon with each new order. Please take a moment and browse through some of the cakes I have decorated. If you need a cake for any occasion let me know and I will be more than happy to satisfy your sweet tooth!


This cake was done for a two-year-old's birthday. The cake was chocolate and most of the decorations are buttercream except for the turrets which are sugar cones dipped in colored chocolate! The girl's mother had little Disney princess figurines which completed this fantasy castle cake. (12.6.08)


This cute cake was done for a 6-year-old's birthday party. For some reason the base looks navy but it was actually bright purple. She loved it! (3.21.09)


A baby shower cake! The big blocks are decorated with baby images on all sides. A, B, and C are the mother's, baby's and father's initials. (3.8.09)


This fun Barbie was also done for a 6-year-old's birthday party. She is bright pink with shiny pink sparkles all over her dress. The sweetheart neckline is accented with pearl-like dots. The best part is that her dress is vanilla cake! (3.27.09)


It was the Pittsburgh Steelers versus the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII and this cake replicates their logos. In order to make sure it was a crowd pleaser, the Steelers cake was chocolate, the Cardinals cake was vanilla and the logo cake was both! (2.1.09)


This cake was definitely a fan favorite! It was also massive; the buggy is 16 inches across! The occasion was a double baby shower and both moms were having boys. (8.31.08)


This cake was for my friend's housewarming party. Since she loves Asian decor I made this cherry blossom inspired cake to match her house! The cherry blossoms are royal icing and completely edible (except for the stamens). (4.5.08)


It was a day at the beach for a 50-year-old mom's surprise birthday party. This ocean inspired devil's food flavored cake was exactly what she wanted. The shells are colored chocolates and the sand is sugar speckled graham cracker crumbs. (12.6.08)
