CertainLEE an Exciting Week!

Tweet

Last week I was honored to make a birthday cake for a special young boy Jaxon. Not only is Jaxon one of the coolest 10 year olds I've met, but he happens to be the son of  Philadelphia Phillies Pitcher Cliff Lee.

10 years old is a Big Birthday, so why not have the Coolest birthday cake to commemorate the occasion. Jaxon wanted non-other than our beloved Phanatic to celebrate in style. (Not to mention, the Phanatic was just name the #1 Mascot in all of Sports! )

Jaxon is a huge Phillies fan and who could blame him, his dad does a great job of keeping our beloved Phillies ontop! We delivered to the ballpark where Jaxon was surprised with his cake (he didn't know he was getting a Phanatic cake, but was very hopeful)  along with a few of his envious buddies. 

 I also did matching tye-dye cupcakes for the kids to eat because Jaxon didn't want to cut the "coolest cake ever" until everyone had a chance to see it.

The Lee's are a very down to earth and friendly family. It was a true pleasure to work with them and I was honored to help create a wonderful memory for Jaxon!

Happy 10th Birthday Jaxon

Go PHILLIES!

Happy 3rd Birthday Sami and Shay

My friend Brooke's nieces; Samantha and Shaylee just turned 3 and boy do these twins have the funniest little personalties.
Samantha wanted a Toy Story party and Shaylee wanted a Barbie party so we did cupcakes to combine the two themes. The girls have been planning their party for months (we spent many days on the beach this summer discussing details for these little ladies.)
They are the cutest, funniest, and the most bubbly 3 year olds. They're just so much fun to be around, they crack me up!

Here is a glimpse into the party:

The Birthday Princess'!

 Hand made and painted cupcake toppers (these only took about 8 hours to complete)

Jumbo Cupcakes for each birthday girl!

Little Mermaid For Eleni

So Eleni wanted a Little Mermaid Cake with all her favorite characters from the movie, pink and purple were a must so this is what I came up with: 

Inside was Vanilla Cake with Purple Vanilla Buttercream. The character figures were plastic but all other decorations were done with fondant, gum-paste and royal icing.

Happy 3rd Birthday Eleni!!

Ultimate Philadelphia Cake

Tweet

This cake was made for an Ultimate Phillies Fan for his 30th birthday. We added all the elements that Matt loves, baseball, Cheesesteaks and Guinness. The bottom tier is Vanilla Butter cake with Peanut Butter Fluff and Chocolate Buttercreams, the Baseball Diamond is chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream, while the baseball on top was Vanilla Butter Cake as well.

All decorations are edible.

 On top we added the signatures of Matt's wife, kids* ( it should say Joe not Jon, I goofed* Sorry Matt!), and puppy to the baseball!

I got a nice note from Jenn, Matt's wife reguarding the cake:

Jen - your work is great. It is obvious how much time you spend on each cake and the passion you have to make the cake perfect. We absolutely LOVED it!! The cake was amazing! To look at and to eat! Everyone immediately stopped to see the cake when they came in and couldn't stop saying how awesome it looked. And Matt loved it too. The cheesesteak was perfect! Matt and Caitlin shared it ha! Oh and the cake....yum yum yum!! The peanut butter cake was just so delicious!!

Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!! You added such a great piece to Matt's surprise party

Happy Birthday Matt, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
