Arcade Game

Has it really been 2 months since our last post? Ouch! Where does time go?! Apologies to all, will have to get back on track!

So last month we were contacted to recreate an arcade game for a surprise 40th birthday party. The game, Dragons Lair, was a favorite of the birthday boy, he even has the real deal in his basement! I must say the amount of artwork was more than I remember for most 80's games (think PacMan, Donkey Kong, etc.) but it was a fun challenge all the same. :o)
Madagascar Vanilla and Twice Chocolate cake with whipped Chocolate Ganache filling... can you say yum?!!

2 Feet Tall

This cake was created as a surprise for a groom who loves to scuba dive. At just under 2 feet tall it was one big cake! A set of fins complete the cake. I love working with color (one look at my portfolio will confirm!) and also 3D cakes so this was a lot of fun. On the inside: Twice Chocolate cake with mint buttercream.

Camaro Cake

My first car was a 76 Camaro with a 350 under the hood. Too much engine for a teenager just getting her license but you couldn't have talked me out of it. Lots of great memories with that car. When Jami contacted me to have a replica of her husbands car (a 76 Camaro of course) replicated for his birthday I knew even though that week was booked I would somehow find a way to fit it in. French Vanilla cake, raspberry filling, and chocolate buttercream on the inside. The lighting in this picture could have been better... yes, a photography class is on my "to do" list! :)

Jami sent this great email, which I truly appreciate, glad the cake was enjoyed!

"Elizabeth, thank you so very much for a wonderful cake! Anthony loved it, he was REALLY impressed by all the details. It was hard to cut it up all that wonderful craftsmanship, but we took plenty of photos. Oh yeah, and it was delicious too! Everyone at the party was amazed and of course asked where it came from, I was happy to recommend Sweetest Perfections to them. It was a truly fabulous cake, thank you!" Jami

Shopping Bag Birthday Cake

We created this cake last month for a client's moms 60th birthday. She gave us a lot of ideas to work with which we took and turned into one fun cake! Shopping is at the top of the birthday girls list but shes also loves Christmas, lobster, hummingbirds, and playing cards. Her favorite color? Red of course! On the inside is Champagne cake and filling.

We love to hear from our clients and received these very kind words from Jeni about her moms cake:

I wanted to tell you that the cake was sooo perfect. Everyone wanted to know who made it and my mom was floored and still talks about it all the time. Thank you so much for going above and beyond- it was truly the highlight of the event. I appreciate your high standard of service and craftsmanship and only wish more people did business the way you do. My highest accolades for your work!!! I will use you anytime I am doing business in the area, only next time I will give you ample notice so you don't have to make last minute accommodations again- I will always remember that, and I am so appreciative! Thank You So Very Much, Jeni
