Here's another version of the offset circles and polka dots that we've done for many of our orders. This one is a little different with the bow with message on top of the cake instead of the front. This 9 inch cake is chocolate sourcream, white chocolate mousse filling, iced with American buttercream and fondant accents.
Happy Birthday Mercedes!
The cake and cupcakes were ordered for a huge 15th birthday celebration. The cake is an 8 inch double chocolate sourcream with chocolate mousse filling and iced with american buttercream. The cupcakes (150 of them) were half double chocolate sourcream iced with white buttercream and half white almond sour cream iced with pink buttercream. Everything was decorated with 3 shades of pink.
We rent cupcake stands - the above stand can hold around 150 cupcakes or layers may be removed for a smaller number (the setup above has the top plate removed). We also rent smaller size cupcakes stands starting with stands that hold 13 cupcakes.
The cake and party favors were ordered for a black and white themed 21st birthday celebration. I have done this cake design for birthdays and baby showers but I think the black and white version is my favorite so far. The cake is white sourcream with cookies and cream filling (to go along with the black and white theme). The favors are white chocolate with the message "Get Crunk".
Purses are a very popular theme for cakes and chocolates. This time its for a 21st birthday celebration. This cake is chocolate sourcream, iced with chocolate buttercream with fondant accents.

The cake is white sourcream with strawberry mousse, iced in american buttercream and fondant, and fondant and gumpaste decoration. Cupcakes are white sourcream with american buttercream and a fondant flower. This cake was inspired by a similar cake that I have done in the past - this one is a brighter pink with a shorter strap.
This package cake was ordered for a baby shower - its very similar to a cake that I have made previously for a birthday party. Everything is edible including the fondant bow and tag on top. The 9 inch square cake is white sourcream with rasberry mousse, american buttercream icing and fondant accents. This cake was ordered by Natalie who I met through Swanky Moms Across AZ - a networking group for moms who have started their own businesses.

customer feedback:
Dana, Just wanted to thank you for the wonderful cake for my daughter's baby shower. It was absolutely beautiful and everyone thought it was so cute, but they also loved the way that it tasted. Which isn't always the case. Quite a few people asked me about who did it and I gave them your card. Again, thanks for all your hard work, skill and creativity. Bev H
