Imagine biting into this and discovering it`s not just you`re average cake, but a boston cream?

A fun alternative to a special day

A Cake For Any Occasion

Bottom layer - Vanilla Cake filled with raspberry goodness and wrapped in black vanilla fondant
Top later - chocolate cake filled with candy cane filling, iced in a candy cane icing, and encased in the same vanilla black fondant....

Covered in a collage of bright colors - a fun design for just about any occasion!
A good one would be paintball, but that is just a start

Chocolate Wrapped Cake

It was for a 70th birthday - ought-a make it special:)
It was a dark chocolate cake filled with raspberries and wrapped in a white chocolate - a type of decadent I suppose!
Wrapping the cake in chocolate was a technique I've wanted to try for a long time!
Finally had the opportunity - so thankful! 

Chocolate Weekend

 Chocolate Covered Strawberries - always a good, fresh, sweet treat
Chocolate Music notes - fun to work on

It was a busy weekend in itself, but managed to squeeze a few orders in - something I love doing:)
It seemed to be a chocolate weekend - which is branching out for me, but I still enjoy every minute of it! It always is a good challenge as I strive to please the customers!

Chocolate Filigree Bowl

Made some chocolate bowls the other day - this is just one of them! I've been doing a lot of work with chocolate recently and really enjoying it! 
Really having fun learning new techniques, shortcuts, etc! E.I. Tempering the chocolate, using the right tools, making sure it's the "perfect consistency" - Chocolate can be a very sticky thing to work with, but amazingly yummy results - Chocolate is Chocolate!

Sweet 16th

Super fun cake to work on!
The actual cake is filled with a reese peanut butter filling and covered in chocolate ganache then wrapped in fondant!
The outside was a lot of fun to work on - the zebra stripes are all freehand and this was my first fondant bow - have been wanting to work on a cake with a bow for awhile, but no orders came in and I haven't had much time for practicing as of late:)
My beautiful sister is almost 16 - can't believe she's growing up this fast!

Mocha Season

A Mocha Almond Delight!
A huge slab cake with a decadent taste! 
 A mocha book cake - very similar to the previous one except...
The fondant roses - each on of the petals was rolled out by hand and placed strategically! 

I`ve been trying different mocha icing recipes and I have definitely found `the one` - Mrs. Heikoop has always made this one - not sure why I didn`t try it before! Very light, not too sweet, and the coffee flavor is bursting with a hint of chocolate - a perfect mocha blend!

Chocolate Haven


Wanted to try a chocolate bowl -- turned out not too bad! Haven't worked too much with chocolate - new thing for me!
Next one will be a white/dark chocolate swirled one!

Something so fresh and yummy about a cold chocolate dipped strawberry!!
