scarecrow cake

this was done for my cousin's son, brock, to match the scarecrow on is invitation - i thought it turned out cute!

sweet pink for a baby shower!

this was done for a baby shower and I LOVE IT! in fact, i am helping give 2 showers soon and this will probably be done at 1 of them!

a lily pad for lillie

i made this cake for sweet little lillie's birthday. i thought it turned out so cute!!!

audrey always has cute birthday cakes! i couldn't tell you how many times i've done one similar to the one she had last year...... on her invitation this year, there were actually 5 animals, but i only had room to put 3 on there - i thought it turned out cute!

Another version of audrey's cake

this cake was done for a little boy's birthday party. they didn't have a theme - just different colored balloons, so we did the colors on the cake to match them! this is another version of the cake i did for audrey - scroll down to see several different versions of this cake!

Mickey Mouse

i do not have a mickey mouse cake pan. SO, alex's mom decided that we could improvise and use different colors for mickey mouse heads. his theme was the mickey mouse clubhouse. also, doing a sheet cake like this gives you more cake than a character cake does.

Bikini Cake

this cake was done to match an invitation. carrington had a swimming party, so this was obviously a bikini. but it could be done as a lingerie shower cake, too.

SORRY!!!!!!!!!

good grief. since the beginning of august, we have had either COMPLETELY booked up crazy weekends, or we've been out of town.

so i apologize for the slacking in putting up pictures. i've got SO SO many pictures and hopefully i can get some of them updated. i'm going to start now - before i have to leave to go get mary peyton!!!

Wedding Cake(s)

these cakes were done for my friend heather's wedding. i thought i'd post one before we put flowers and one with the flowers. the red gerbera daisies just change the look of the cakes - that's why i posted both!

each cake was a different flavor - strawberry, chocolate, yellow, and red velvet

without flowers:

with flowers:

the groom's cake - it was red velvet.

Grant's fish cake

i made this cake to match an invitation!

to match an outfit...

these cakes were done for my friend, jill easley. her daughter was turning 1 and was goign to be wearing this outfit for her birthday party!

so we did these cakes to match! i tried to pull just the sweet pink and green out of the outfit and keep the rest simple. i thought these were so sweet for a little girl!

snail cake

this cake was done for a baby shower. shea e-mailed me a copy of the invitation (that SHE made!) for a shower for her sister. i told her when i saw the invitation that i had a cute idea in my mind - i'm glad it came out as cute as i wanted!

the invitation:

the cake:

custom to match invitations

when amanda called me about making her twin's first birthday cakes, she told me about the invitation. when i got it in the mail, i saw that it was the exact invitation that i used for mary peyton's party this year!

amanda sent me this e-mail:
"Suzanne,
So sorry that I am just now writing you. The cakes were delicious! Everyone thought they were beautiful and they looked just like the invitations.
Thank you so much for making our 1st birthday so special. We took tons of pictures so Kyle and Ella will remember.
Amanda Douglas"

beach ball!

the cake/cupcakes below were done for a pool party for nash's 1st birthday. his plates were a beach ball, so that's what his mom and i decided to do on the top of his dig-in cake. then we just did a bunch of cupcakes for everybody else!

here's what she wrote me in an e-mail:
"Suzanne~Hey! The party was great and everyone loved the cake and cupcakes. They looked so cute!!! Nash was so mad when we took his cake away from him. He was so funny!!! I thought you might enjoy these pictures. Thanks again for all or your help. I will be calling again for Lawson's 3rd birthday!!!Thank you~Jessica"

i love it when people let me know how everything went!!!

For Sisters!

these cakes were done to compiment each other - they were for 2 sisters who had their birthday party together (1 turned 13 and the other turned 16!). they had a sock hop - how fun is that!?!?! the round cake was done as an extra - just in case they needed it!!!

It's a BUG'S life - or cake!

this cake was done custom to match luke's invitations. the bottom part of his invitation was green and the top was brown. but on the invitation, the inside of the circle was his sweet picture! his mom wanted him to have a dig in cake this year, too - and i think that's a great idea!

Lifesaver Cake!

Cole had a swimming party and his mom (my sweet friend - being the graphic artist that she is!) designed his invitations and had a lifesaver for the "o" in cole. so i carried that same lifesaver into the cake - and thought it tourned out cute!

I AM SORRY!!!!

i checked my home phone yesterday for the first time in 2 - yes TWO - weeks and had 6 - yes SIX - new messages!!!!!!!!! and 4 - yes FOUR - of them were for cakes!

i feel like such a loser.

or either i am in demand?

i don't know.

but i wanted to make a public apology to anyone that i have not called back. i truly am so sorry. we have 1 phone in our house and it's in the kitchen - the only phones we ever use are our cell phones, so we don't even check the messages half of the time on our home phone - and when we do, we have too many.

SO...............if you are wanting a cake - please call my cell phone (note the new number in the "contact me" box on the right) or text me. if possible, include the date that you need a cake for when you call so that i will know right away if i'm able to do it or not.

OH - and i also want to go ahead and note that i am BOOKED up until after july 20th.

~suzanne~

i did it

i added one cake to this blog.

so now i want to know something. if you actually CHECK this blog to see if i have added new pictures, please post a comment so that i will know how many people are wanting to see cakes!

i'll post more when i see some response!

owen's cakes

these cakes were done for my best friend's little boy. the lime green and red match his nursery!

oh my goodness!

it's been almost 2 months since i posted on this blog!

SORRY!

lots and lots of things have been going on and i've neglected the cake blog.....

i do have a lot of cute cakes to put on here from the end of march and april - and even a few from may already.

however - - - -

i have dreaded doing this, but knew it was going to come. my prices will be changing soon. i know that i don't put my prices on this page - the reason is that each cake is custom. the price depends on the number of colors, size, drawing, etc., that has to be done.

the cost of all of my supplies have gone up, which is why prices are going to be between $5 and $10 higher than they were - and i'm afraid that we have not seen then end of the "price rise". please know that i have not wanted to do this, but i have to if i am going to continue making cakes. i hope that you understand!

stay posted for some fun cake pictures - i will try to post them soon.........right after i finish decorating!!!

~suzanne

this cake was done to be like audrey's (see many posts below....), but needed a different color scheme....i like it!

Justin's cake

Collier's cake

Collier's mom had already decorated for easter, so we tried to do his cake somewhat in pastels, but keep it "boyish". this is tommy's favorite that i've done for a boy's 1st birthday!

Claire's dedication cake

star wars cake

and now i've learned what a light saber is.....

hello kitty cake

i hardly ever get picture of kids with the cakes i make, so when i got this one of emily, i HAD to post it!!!

causey's cake!

this was for causey's 1st birthday. the top layer was her dig in cake - it's on a separate board and harper (her mom) was able to take that layer off for her to play in!!!

a baby shower cake - girl!

mississippi state cake

with pawprints around the edge!

monkey cake

i did this to match their invitation

another Christening/baby dedication

tractor cake and dig in

the dig in cake is a lot cuter when the little tractor is on top and the candle, too!

for my friend

i did this one for a friend of mine for her surprise party! she had NO idea!!!

A cute first birthday cake!!!

i had done this one for a shower, but not for a first birthday! it was too cute!!!

another hannah montana

i just helped this one out!

this sweet little girl has her "chocolate on chocolate" from the same place every year. but she wanted me to decorate it, so i was happy to help her out!

i love this one! like one that i've done with blues/brown, but this one in primary is awesome!

sweet Christening cake

just a cute one!

another ole miss cake

this was for a sweet friend of ours - nathan turned 10 in january and is quite the ole miss fan!

Custom to match invitation

i LOVE this cake! i have thought that i might try to do it sometime for mary peyton and just get invitations that match the colors - since i know i'll never find the exact invitations! but this is one of my all-time favorites!
