The first year I worked at Capo High School, I met a great group of boys that helped welcome me and would often visit me in the office.  Over the years, I have kept in touch with one of those boys, Junior Rodriguez, who is now married and has a beautiful little girl.  I was happy when he asked me to make his daughter's 3rd birthday cake, Hello Kitty style!

You never know where you may meet someone... The day I had to deliver Kenny's Vegas cake, my Bella had softball evaluations so my hubby was going to stay back and take her and our other girls, Lexi & Lulu and I decided to carpool with our good friend, Marco since we were all going to hang out at the party anyway.

On our way out to Lake Elsinore, we stopped at the Jack In the Box in Brea to get the girls a snack.  While in the drive-through, the girl working the window complimented the cake.  Marco quickly told her that I had made it and gave her my business card.  Well...about 3 months later...she called to order a special cake for her moms birthday.

This cake looks so feminine and sweet to me!  Ivory buttercream with the pastel flowers...Love it!  I handmade all the flowers on this cake.

This was a marble cake with fresh raspberry filling.

Love is In the Air!

April 10, 2011:

This is another of my favorites!!  This baby showercake was for my friend/co-worker, Barbara's daughter, Sarah.  Sarah is actually an actress on the TV show Chuck.  Barbara and I had a great time deciding on a cake that depicts Sarah & Matt's love for eachother and in the excitement of the arrival of their baby boy!

To us, this cake tells a story:

The base cake shows how the two love birds meet.

The top tier shows the love birds fall in love.....................

The nest with the blue egg symbolizes the creation of a beautiful baby boy!
