Groom's BB Cake

This cake has definitely been our most challenging cake so far. A client wanted to surprise her husband with a replica of his BB phone at their wedding- so sweet and cute, right? We have heard that he was quite surprised and that the couple and their guests thoroughly enjoyed the cake with their eyes and their taste buds. Although it took more than 10 hours to make the cake (we made sure EVERYTHING looked exactly like the actual phone), it was really all worth it knowing that it brought much joy to the couple and the guests. Congratulations Deborah and Tony!

Über Mario Cake

We made this cake for the brother of the girl who had a princess party early this year. Being a big fan of Nint**** games, I was extremely excited about making this cake. It was a little more challenging than the other cakes we have done. This is because we couldn't just design the cake in any way, but we had to refer to the elements in the video game and replicate them. Hard work paid off at the end because we absolutely love the way the cake turned out and it was hard to let it go :)

Two Brothers' Birthday Cakes

Our friend G had a huge birthday bash for her two boys recently. We stuck to a simple design and color combination, which we believe made the cake look whimsical, but in a clean and modern way. (*photo courtesy of Michelle Sterling*)

Outdoor Train Party

Travel Town was the perfect place for this little boy C, who LOVES trains, to have his second birthday party. We provided some of the food that was fit for an outdoor party, such as chicken kabobs, which were a BIG hit. We also made the cake and cupcakes that you see in these pictures. This train cake was different in that we added a little boy resembling the birthday boy sitting on top of the cake, in the middle of the train tracks. We also brought some milk and some Hot Chocolate on a Stick, to help the guests keep warm.

Happy Valentine's Day!

These are "Hot Chocolate on a Stick"s. I can not take credit for these as my friend first brought these to a cookie exchange party and then gave them out as Valentine's Day gifts. I absolutely love them and had to "borrow" the idea. Thanks M for finiding it on giverslog.com and sharing them with me!

(Pink) Princess Party

Earlier this year, we helped a little girl celebrate her birthday with about fifty of her family and friends. As you can see from the pictures, she likes princesses and the color pink :) . We helped the family by providing them with Hawaiian Plate style food, along with some fruit kabobs, a castle cake big enough to feed fifty plus guests, some of the decorations (flower pompoms, birthday banner and balloons) and booking a princess.

Hello Kitty Party

We will post more pictures and details about this event soon. For now, here is a picture of the birthday banner and a flower pompom from the party that all followed the red and white color scheme of H Kitty. The other picture shows strawberry H Kitty cupcakes. Like the T Train birthday cake, these were made with marshmallow fondant, which the kids loved.

November Baby Shower #2

We had another great privilege in doing food and drinks for a baby shower this month. They used our pennants and we decided to integrate that theme like we did for the previous shower this month. Specifically, we put little triangles on toothpicks on the mochis, like the triangles on the pennants, as well as on the paper hanging part of the tea bags.

Can you see the little triangles on toothpicks on the mochis, like the triangles on the pennants? The tea bags are on the very bottom right of the picture but it's quite difficult to see the little triangles on them.

Geometry: Frittata squares, fried ravioli squares and triangular tea sandwiches.

Sliders Bar- with condiments, cheese, caramelized onion and sweet potato fries.

We changed the look of our caprese skewers with these long sticks and standing them up-right.

November Baby Shower #1

Early this month, we had the privilege of providing food, drinks, favors and tablescaping for three ladies who were throwing a shower for their friends N&D. We will post more pictures as we get them but for now, here are some pictures of the favors- chocolate meringue "nests" with jelly bean "eggs". Aren't they adorable? Also, going along with the bird graphic on our self-made favor labels, we put them on what was previously quite unappealing paper part of some fruity tea bags. It's all in the details, as they say! We thought they were quite charming but we wonder if anyone other than the tea drinkers noticed them...

T Train Birthday Cake

There's a little boy who just adores T train that he actually carries around and studies catalogues with this T train. Naturally, when he saw this cake, he was "in awe" as his parents described. We were very pleased with the result as well, especially because the birthday boy was so happy with it. To top it all off, it was made with marshmallow fondant, which unlike your regular fondant actually tastes good! Happy Birthday C!

Very Pink Chocolate Cupcakes

A truly sweet little girl wanted some chocolate cupcakes with REALLY pink frosting. Here are the results. They were made extra special with sprinkles of pink sugar glitters as well as sweet little roses on top... just like the birthday girl.

A Sassy Birthday Luau

Hand-made banner and pom poms.

Favors: the ladies got these silk orchid hair pieces and all the guests got these candy fruit kabobs.

Food and cupcakes made from scratch. On the menu: kalua pork, chicken katsu, kalbi, macaroni salad, fruit salad, and shaved ice.

A Princess Party

Princess friends received a candy wand along with a formal invitation.

Children filled up the colorful take-out boxes full of candies (note the pretty little lollipops sticking out of each boxes).

Princesses bouncing around! They also played a relay game where they raced with a book on their heads.

Princess friends took pictures like this (J's dog is modeling here) after decorating their tiaras and getting made-up.

On the menu: mini pizza, PB&J and turkey&guacamole sandwiches in different shapes, fried ravioli, punch; and fruit kabobs (a picture of us making them).

Castle cake!

Michelle's Baby Shower

Earlier this year, we had the pleasure of catering a baby shower for beautiful, then-expecting, Michelle. "Mini Food" was the theme, so we had mini pizzas, mini kabobs, mini crudite cups and mini finger sandwiches to name a few of the food items. For the dessert table, we had mini tiramisu trifles, mini cupcakes and caramel apples on popsicle sticks, mini chocolate fondue bar, and mini choux puffs. Our associate Christine did an exceptional job with the invitations, menu cards and penants. We also have to mention Michelle's friends Dana and Weili for a wonderful job hosting and helping with the food, as well as Michelle and Nanci for the beautiful pictures. Lastly, a big thank-you to Michelle for letting us play a big part in your special day and for sharing those great ideas.
