Albert

I started dancing with Becca 8 or so years ago, and I'm lucky to still be coaching dance with her! She celebrated her big 21st birthday a couple weeks ago and I wanted to make her cake extra special. Her boyfriend is overseas right now in the military and couldn't be here for her birthday, so I made sure he had some input in her birthday :)
I sent him a couple of pictures of cakes that Becca may like, and he picked out this one. He also reminded me that she LOVES godiva chocolate. So becca's cake was chocolate cake with godiva chocolate chips, and cookies and cream buttercream. it was delicious!!
We danced together for 6 years, so we spent close to 6 straight years together, seeing each other probably more than our own families! Especially over the last few years, we have gotten much closer and so have our families. She's become one of my very best friends...she's fabulous! :) I never would've thought it when we first met each other because becca is SOO outgoing and bubbly and crazy, and well I'm pretty much the opposite. But she helps me branch out!
I'm so happy to have you around Albert :) Love you bunches and can't wait to celebrate together this week for my bday!!

And the Icing on the 21st birthday cake...


Emily is part of my usual gang of friends who I've been friends with since high school. Her boy toy, Robert, has been on the blog before too, and when I called him to ask him what I should do for Em's cake, he did NOT do a good job at getting back to me ;) But she told me later that she wanted a nurse's themed cake anyway, so I made a good guess-- thanks to Megan too! This time next year, she will almost be a nurse!

The weekend of Emily's birthday, I had a CRAZY busy weekend. I was out of town for a last minute dance fundraiser the whole weekend, so I had to have my friends pick it up and bring it to her party. It was a double chocolate cake with raspberry filling. I heard it was quite delicious...bartenders were even asking for some! Shots of both kinds were on the sides of her cake :)
So by the end of the night, I was super bummed that I was sitting in a hotel, and all my friends were celebrating emily's birthday and....................... EMILY AND ROBERT'S ENGAGEMENT!!!!!!! :) What a great way to end her bday week by getting engaged. I was sooo soo bummed I missed it, but I couldn't be happier for them! Emily's been one of my closest friends for a long time now, and I can't wait to see what the next year has in store for us! Love you Em!

Doctor's Retirement



My mom has worked for Dr. Deak's office for a long while now. And he finally decided to retire this year. So my mother reminded me the night before, at 9:00pm that they were having Dr. Deak's retirement party at work. So 3 hours later, I think the cake turned out pretty darn good! He's quite the golf fan...obviously :)


Congrats and enjoy, dr. D!!!

My First 1st Birthday Cake

Oh how I wish I had a picture of the little cutie, Louie, who dug into this cake on his first birthday a couple of weekends ago!!!
Louie's mama, Shannon, was one of the coaches on my dance staff at Seton. She coached my sister for a couple seasons, but I was never able to have her as a coach. But I did get to spend a year with her on the coaching staff and she is wonderful! When she asked me to do Louie's cake, I was thinking like- uhm Are you sure?!. But she let me know how nice it was that she didn't have to stress about making the perfect cake amidst all the other party day activities. I was happy to do it :)
Here is the back side of it.
And the front! Literally in my top 5 favorites!
Shannon said Louie loved the cake, and even tried to feed the cake to their doggies. Oops!! Hope you had a great birthday Louie!! :)

Merg is 21!!

I always tell my best friend Megan, who is a world traveller and world-saver, that she is going to start bringing back cute little orphans from every country instead of souveniers. If anyone I know can make the WORLD a better place, it's Megan. So what better way to celebrate her birthday than with a globe cake and a message to saving the world! :) Megan is such a sweetheart and would do anything for anyone. On her birthday, all she wanted was to have all of her friends in one spot at the same time. She didn't care about anything else but that. She has been one of my go-to gals since high school and gotta love her for it :) happy 21st birthday mergie! Hope it was wonderful! Love you bunches!

On Top of the Hill


Isabelle is one of my dancers, and her mom asked me for a last minute favor. Although it made for a 4 cake weekend, I was happy to help Amy out. Her aunt has terminal lung cancer, and the doctors weren't sure if she would make it to her 50th birthday in mid December. So they through her a big, colorful, on TOP of the hill party. Aunt Mary loved it! I was glad I could make some of her last moments on earth with her family memorable and happy! God Bless Amy, Aunt Mary, and family.


PS- She requested that her entire family where party hats :)

Destination Wedding

One of the ladies who works in the Department below me at work asked me to do a cake for her niece's destination wedding. They got married on a beach, so Lyssa's family wanted to send them best wishes with a beach cake...footprints in the sand included!
From what I hear- the cake was a hit. Best wishes Lyssa and Noel!!

Miley's Birthday

Miley's big sis Ali was my first repeat cake- the second zebra print cake, and then this past year, the gryffindor cake. Miley's mom and dad are good friends of our family, so when they came to watch my sister perform, Miley ran up to Krista and asked her if she'd make her bday cake. She had to tell her, no I can't, you'll have to talk to Sarah. :) But I didn't get to chat with the little lady, so it was a complete surprise when I should up on Sunday with her birthday cake!

Big 5 year old now!! Purple and pink are her absolute FAVORITE colors

Her face was PRICELESS! She had the biggest smile and giggles as soon as she looked out the door and saw my car in the driveway. Those are the moments when all the hardwork becomes worth it! :) Happy birthday Miley!

Bestie Forevski

This is my bestie forevski, her name is Chelsea. And this past weekend she celebrated her 21st birthday!!!Chelsea and I have been best friends since the first week of freshman year of high school. She gave the biggest attitude to a teacher behind his back and I knew she was sweet! But seriously- that's how we became best friends. I just wish I would be 21 already so I could celebrate with her, but I guess that will have to wait until mine in January. She had quite the successful 21st bday weekend though. :)
Chels loves tea and she couldn't wait to TRY twisted tea on her birthday! So her cake was this big twisted tea bottle. It was chocolate cake with chocolate chips in it :)
Chels- these past several months have been exceptionally crazy for us, but we've made it this far! :) Thanks for stickin' this crazy thing out with me. #life tehe had to hash tag it. She will be my bestie forevski- thanks for coining that term to! love you so much! -sarah
