Modern Rose Wedding Cake


The couples wedding invitations were the inspiration for this cake design. Bold black rose outlines are randomly placed on the cake and accented with their wedding colors (red and ice blue). The color combination and design lead to a unique and elegant cake. The cake: Lemonade with Raspberry filling, a great summertime treat!

Cherry Blossom Wedding Cake



We've just wrapped up another busy week at Sweetest Perfections.

This cake was created for a bride who chose a Cherry Blossom themed cake with a twist... instead of pale pink she opted for more vibrant pink, orange, and white flowers. 3D chocolate branches climb the side of the cake with the delicate blossoms sprinkled about. On the inside, Golden Yellow cake with Chocolate Hazelnut filling and White Almond cake with Cherry Bavarian Cream filling.... yum!

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

Wedding Cakes and Cupcakes

Here are a couple of the sweets we created this week!


Our fireworks themed cakes are always popular around the 4th of July holiday. Even though we've created a few, the color and design variations still keep each one a unique rendition!



Yellows, oranges, pinks, and reds were on the color palette this week! 4 different flavors of cupcakes round out this display of 325 cupcakes with beautiful pops of color coming from the vibrant table runner and Gerbera Daisies by Bella Flora.

Summertime and Cupcakes

I love cupcakes, especially in the summer. There's just something about the ease of these little treats... no plates, no forks, just moist, delicious cake paired with a hidden filling in the center, and topped with swirls of rich, creamy buttercream... yum! We created these particular cupcakes for a client's wedding reception at the Salisbury House. If you've never been its definitely worth a visit, the architecture and history are incredible.

Monopoly Anyone?

I cant tell you how much fun this cake was to create. Each space on the board represented something special to the couple it was made for and each side of the board a different time in their life. The bride put a lot of thought into the ideas (a surprise for the groom) and all of the little details made the cake. We just recently created their 1st Anniversary cake too!

Elegant Topsy Turvy


This cake was created for a wedding reception at the Scottish Rite Consistory. The bride requested an elegant and modern cake with a fun and whimsical twist, each tier having a different design. We had a lot of fun creating this one! 5 different flavor combinations complete the cake. Photo by: True To You Photography
