Birthday cakes, a baby shower cake, and a bridal shower cake too!

May and June are always busy months for us, and this year is no different!  Last week we made a cake for Christina's cousin, this week we have a bridal shower and a boy's birthday, and next week we have a sweet 16. 

Phew! 

We end the month with a Safari-themed cake for twins turning one and then we head into June, when we have more birthday cakes and baby shower cookie favors too.

Never let it be said that we are idle!  We even have an order for wedding cake pop favors for July, so it looks like the summer is going to be busy as well.

Here is the baby shower cake from last week and the bridal shower cake from earlier this week, and be sure to come back tomorrow for the Yankee jersey cake for a boy's birthday, which is a reprise of a cake we did last year.

The bridal shower cake (below) was small and simple with the bride's main color of royal purple as an accent.  The couple's monogram on a heart with ribbon roses made this cake a sweet treat indeed!  The inside was a duplicate of the bride's actual wedding cake:  chocolate cake with Bavarian cream and strawberries (although we had to leave out the strawberries since one guest had severe allergies).  Nonetheless, the cake was yummy and the bride loved it!




The baby shower cake was a zebra print for a girl and also a reprise of a cake from last year.  The client requested matching cake pops; both cake and pops were red velvet, with cream cheese filling for the cake.  The cake was delivered to The Mansion in Madison.

A variation on a baby shower cake we did last year.

Coordinating cake pops!

A cake pop, up close and personal!




Happy baking!
