Piñata Baby Shower Cake

I love when people have fun with their baby shower themes. This cute Piñata Cake was made for a baby girl. I hand-cut fondant strips, creating the fringed texture on the donkey and accented the cake with flowers and scroll work. Colorful, tasty and fun!

Coach Purse Cake and Cupcakes

The mini Coach purse cupcakes I did earlier this year have been a hit and my customer wanted their newest purses on mini cupcakes and a cake to match. I created one dozen mini jewel-toned purses, one larger one for the cake, and lots of little hand-painted logos. Complete with glitter and shimmery sugar to add that extra bling!

Seattle Skyline Cake

This birthday cake was created for a few people who just moved to Seattle and fell in love with our city. I hand-painted a panorama view of the entire Seattle skyline - complete with the Space Needle, Pacific Science Center and Mt. Rainier in the distance. The simple and elegant monochromatic design really pops.

Get Well Soon Cupcakes

I received a call from a couple of my previous customers that their sister had an accident and was laid up in bed. To sweeten her day, they wanted to surprise her with cupcakes. These Vegan Chocolate cupcakes are covered in Vegan Lavender Buttercream and then topped with cute "Get Well Soon" toppers with Band-Aids and crutches. I sprinkled them with magic healing dust (AKA edible glitter) and delivered them to her family. Before I could cross the street I heard her squeals of delight when she got her surprise gift. I love those moments of surprising someone with a gift of cake!

Hello Kitty Cake

I've always loved Sanrio characters and Hello Kitty is one of my favorites (however, she can't top Keroppi). So I was excited to honor her on this sweet cake. Her cute face is the star of this cake and she's surrounded by flowers and polka dots. Any Hello Kitty lover would love this cake!

DOMO Cake

This DOMO cake was a blast to make! The entire cake top was covered in red fondant that was hand-painted to match the artwork provided by my client. DOMO was cut from fondant and painted to bring it to life. So cute!

White Russian Cake Fitting for "The Dude"

Our client wanted to surprise her mom with a White Russian cake for her birthday because it's her favorite drink. We talked about ideas for the design and thought it would be fitting to just honor the drink. Perfect for "The Dude" or "Big Lebowski" parties.

Tecplot Chorus Corporate Cake

Our client wanted to reward his team for their hard work when they launched Tecplot Chorus, so he ordered a surprise Stuffed Cake. He sent me a copy of the logo which I made out of fondant, hand-painted and dusted with petal dust. He was blown away when he saw the cake!



The bottom left is a copy of the logo.


Pickle the Parrot Cake

This fun cake was made for Pickle, a dusky headed conure parrot. This lucky bird belongs to Arlene Roth, the winner of Stuffed Cakes' first drawing held at our Grand Opening Celebration. Her hatch day was coming up and Arlene was excited to use her winning cake to celebrate her beautiful bird. Pickle absolutely loved it and couldn't stop looking at her fondant twin. In fact, she kept posing for the camera, which we were told she normally hates.

Congratulations Arlene and Happy Hatch Day, Pickle!







"Why, it's very nice to meet you."

Where's Pickle? In her favorite ride-along spot.


Congratulations Arlene Roth!

Cow Print Cake

I love the sense of humor of our clients. This cute cow cake was created for a teenager who requested the stuffing to be tinted "blood red." I'm sure it made for a laugh when they cut into this cake!

Quilted Gift Box Bridal Shower Cake

This gorgeous cake was created for a bride-to-be for her bridal shower. I was given a sample of the wedding colors and was asked to create something feminine and pretty. This fondant covered cake was done in soft sage green. It has a beautiful quilted pattern adorned with indigo flowers, edible pearls and a large bow on top. The bride was surprised and thrilled with her cake!
