SomeONE’s about to take flight! 🦖💚One year old, one WILD dinosaur cake.

Who says a one-tier cake can’t be a grand centerpiece? The trick: GO TALL with toppers!

A big pterodactyl ready to take flight off its rock, a couple of tall trees & forest greens, erupting volcano, dino friends & egg - all around a hand-painted fondant cake in bright, happy colors.

Five tiers. Stacked in my kitchen, transported to the venue (I definitely drove under the speed limit), and finished with fresh roses on site. 🌹The roses may be the stars, but they were the easiest part.

95% of this cake's success happened before it left my kitchen - the prep, the foundation, the structure.

Smooth that frosting. In this design, there's nothing else apart from the flowers to cover up any imperfections. Make it flawless. That’s 14 years and thousands of cakes talking.

And rule no. 1 for tiers? Make every cake a perfect cylinder, or cube, if that's what it is. Straight sides, even tops. Otherwise, after stacking all the tiers together, you'll end up with a leaning Tower of Pisa or a topsy turvy cake (I've intentionally done both, but that's not what we are talking about here). Even if it's very slightly off, it's OFF and some of our eyes will catch it. Worse still, the structure is now compromised.

Get all these right, and you have what matters most - a stable, stunning canvas ready for its moment, as is, or further decorated. And ladies & gentlemen, this is why smooth frost cakes with minimal decorations are the most difficult to master. Not quite "simple"!

Booking: 10/28-11/20, 12/2 onwards. MON-SAT. Pls finalize details 2 weeks before. Bookings/reservations with non refundable deposits.

Birthday Queen cake 👑. How many ladies do you know would love this?

Pure white whipped cream with that modern diagonal texture, accented with fresh red roses, baby's breath, gold and silver. Elegant and classy.

Booking: 10/28-11/20, 12/2 onwards. MON-SAT. Pls finalize details 2 weeks before. Bookings/reservations with non refundable deposits.

Inspired by The Book of Life, Mexican folklore and Day of the Dead - where death isn't the end, it's just the next chapter. 💀✨

As long as we're remembered, our story keeps being written in the Land of the Remembered.

A tale of love, destiny, and remembrance, now in cake.

Booking: 10/28-11/20, 12/2 onwards. MON-SAT. Pls finalize details 2 weeks before. Bookings/reservations with non refundable deposits.

Of course it's a square cake - it's MINECRAFT! ⛏️🟩

Decorated with her own custom skins - characters she designed herself. Mom had to screenshot them straight off her phone so we could bring them to life on her birthday cake.

From screen to cake. Built block by block, with a few hearts.

Booking: 10/28-11/20, 12/2 onwards. MON-SAT. Pls finalize details 2 weeks before. Bookings/reservations with non refundable deposits.
