My oops = a great donation!

I had my first major faux pas... I baked round cakes for a wedding cake order, then later realized the order was for square cakes!  So, I started trying to figure out what to do with an extra 3 tier cake!  I called The Children's Hospital in Aurora, to see if I could donate the cake for the kids.  Due to dietary restrictions, the kids couldn't have it, but the hospital volunteers sure could!


I added the hospital logo - it's such a cute logo, and  a "Thank You Volunteers" banner at the top.  I sure hope they enjoy it!
(And yes, I did catch my oops in time to bake and deliver the square wedding cake as promised!)
"Thank You Volunteers" Cake for The Children's Hospital - Denver, CO


The cake flavors are chocolate with peanut butter buttercream and chai cake with ginger cream cheese frosting.

Purple Hydrangeas

This year has been SO purple!  I read tons of wedding publications, blogs, tweets, you name it... everyone forecasts the trends (as weddings are typically planned a year in advance of the event).  This year, I expected pink and champagne colors, peacock colors, what I found though, was lots of purple!!  This month I've had three cakes that all featured purple hydrangeas on the cake.  Check it out!

3 Baby Shower Cakes

Debbie Orwat, Owner of  Save The Date Events planned a very trendy, beautiful baby shower at The Brown Palace.  I was pleased to be able to create the cakes, all fun, but the chandelier was the stand out!  Centerpieces were created by Bella Fiori - adorable!!

60th Diamond Anniversary

This weekend, I had the pleasure of creating a 60th Anniversary cake.  60th is the Diamond Anniversary, so we included a wonderful brooch and gave the cake some sparkle with sugar crystals.
