Glazin In the Sun's Ladies Night - what a success!

Ladies Night at Peoria's Glazin In the Sun was a huge success! There were so many great vendors with great products to view and purchase and we had a great turnout of fun ladies. We provided samples of our cupcakes - White Almond Sour Cream with American Buttercream or Chocolate Buttercream icing. We also had chocolate purses and shoes available for sale - these are always a hit.

Chocolate Dipped Pretzel basket

This basket was created for a woman who loves chocolate covered pretzels. 2 dozen pretzels dipped in dark chocolate, accented with pink and 3 flower shaped pretzels (2 in white chocolate tinted pink and 1 in dark chocolate). Its that combination of salty and sweet that always makes these such a hit!

Brendan's 2nd Birthday

My son turned two at the end of December and we celebrated his birthday with a train themed party and of course, a train themed cake. He loves cake, especially chocolate. The cake is a 2 tiered cake with a 10 inch layer of double chocolate sour cream with white chocolate mousse filling and a 8 inch tier of white sour cream with raspberry mousse. The cake is iced in American buttercream with fondant accents. We added the birthday Thomas train to the cake. This cake was inspired by a design done by one of my favorite sugar artists, Sharon of Sharon's Sugar Shack

Party favors where milk chocolate train suckers and chocolate covered graham crackers with train.


For the party he was dressed as a conductor - the train overalls are from Gymboree. We ordered conductor hats and train whistles for everyone from Celebrate Express. We had Thomas tattoos and coloring pages - the pages can be downloaded from the Thomas & Friends website.

I made the invitation using a digital scrapbooking kit. And I'm excited that my favorite digital scrapbooking website, Sweet Shoppe Designs, recently came out with a train themed digital scrapbooking kit that I'll use to scrapbook his party.

Pirate themed birthday

Another cake from December. This pirate ship cake was made for a 4th birthday party. This cake served approximately 45 - it was chocolate sour cream with chocolate mousse filling and covered with chocolate fondant. We used candles as cannons. The mom is an amazing party planner and the house was decorated for the pirate theme - she sent me a few pictures of the cake setup. She added a few pirate figurines to the cake.

feedback from customer:

Wow, I don’t even know what I should rave about first! First off, the cake was gorgeous – absolutely perfect!!! When we finally were brave enough to cut into it and ruin your wonderful creation, everyone and I mean everyone gushed about how delicious the cake was! My husband who is NOT a sweet eater and NEVER eats birthday cake even thought it was delicious! SO many people asked who made the cake, and I happily gave the referral. You did a fantastic job and I’m beyond thrilled at how the cake turned out. Thank you so very much!!! Jen M

Holiday Chocolate Boxes

These chocolate boxes were ordered for a company holiday dinner party - each box was placed at a place setting and served both as a place card and a gift. The boxes were made of milk chocolate and filled with a mixture of white, milk, and dark chocolate holiday themed chocolates.

Kate's 3rd Birthday

This cake was ordered by a repeat customer for her daughter's 3rd birthday. The theme for the party was tinkerbell and the mom purchased this candle to go on top of the cake.

jungle themed second birthday cake

This cake was ordered for a little girl who is turning two and one of her favorite books is The Jungle Book. The mom purchased Jungle Book figurines that were placed on the cake - Baloo in the water, Bagheera on the rock and the other characters around the base of the board. This cake was white sour cream with pineapple filling - a filling not ordered very often but is quite yummy!

pink and green 13th birthday

This cake was ordered for a girl celebrating her 13th birthday. I love the pink and green colors on this cake and the flowers add some whimsy to this cake.

Pink Sassy Circles

I'm doing some catch up today posting some cakes from December. The first two are similar designs, Iced brown (chocolate) with Sassy Circles in two shades of pink - one cake was for a first birthday and one for a baby shower. These cakes were inspired by the "N" monogram cake that is posted on my website.

First Birthday - they also ordered a coordinating smash cake and flower chocolate dipped pretzels with a personalized note that said "Hugs and Kisses, Kyleigh"

Baby Shower - this cake was delivered to The Farm at South Mountain. This shower was held outside during a week of rain but the rain let up just in time for the party. They also ordered baskets of party favors which included "Its a Girl" suckers, baby bottle pretzels, teddy bear chocolate covered graham crackers and baby themed chocolate dipped oreos.
