Hearts Alive

Danielle and LeRoy are good friends and loyal patrons of mine. For their anniversary, I made them this cake.
The term "5/12" refers to 5 years of marriage, 12 years together. The cake also says "Happy Aniversary" on the lower tiers.Two toned roses... solid chocolate cake.

Message in a Cake

Some people just want to convey a heart felt message, and what better way to do it than cake?

"To a wonderful Sister who is always there for me... Love Curtis"
This was actually a Hex-a-lot II, but he had a lot to say. I finally put the roses in the middle and wrote his message around the outside edge of the cake. From what I understand, his sister's co workers still think he is a hero to this day.

"Haylee, Just because I love you, Mom"

This was a square Raspberry Cordial with a mother's love note on top.

"For the one I love"

He wanted a cake for his wife. His only stipulation besides the message? Lots of icing.

"Happy Memorial Day"

This half and half chocolate and yellow cake for memorial day says it all.

Did you miss?

This cake was for a dear friend that works on the factory floor. Her fellow QC cohorts and I plotted deviously for this cake. I knew she liked shooting, and how funny would it be to give her her own "age target"? Note 4 shots in the 10, 2 in the 5, 1 in the 1, but what's this on the line...?

Is that last one a 5 or a 1? What are you trying to say here?

Truth be told she was actually turning 52, but the reaction was priceless. In all fairness, she had a rather good sense of humor about the whole thing, and the "head" of the target was angel food so she could take some cake home to her diabetic son.
