Retirement Party-- Choo Choo!

My father devoted 40+ years to Amtrak. When he retired he deserved a huge party and that is what he got! Since he has a sweet tooth just like his daughter I decided to make him something special

Weddings

When my best friend and cousin asked me to make her wedding cake I was overcome with emotions. Not only was I overjoyed to do this for her but overwhelmed with making my first wedding cake for 200 people. She decided that she didn't want to do a cake cutting so I came up with an idea to tackle this situation which worked wonderfully!





Although Lexi was looking for a teared wedding cake, we decided to make
7 sheet cakes that would be cut behind the scenes.

Moist Vanilla cake with fresh whipped cream and berries


The beginning of her cake. Since we decided on sheet cakes, this was
her display cake. I wrapped styrofoam blocked in fondant, no one knew the difference.


Of course the services of Sue Chessia Floral design were put to use to decorate the cake


Final Display cake

Pie Pop

Looking for something a little different than your cake pop. How about a pie pop? They are perfect for a dessert buffet, or a little take home from a party
