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

A Pirate's Life for Brady

Brady's big sister Riley is the little sweetie who requested the Tangled cake a few months ago. Although he looks up to his big sister, all he wanted was a pirate cake! He was even a cute little pirate for halloween. Brady's mom made it clear that he wanted a big ol' chocolate cake. So we did the bigger tier with triple chocolate fudge cake, with chocolate chips, and then the smaller tier was vanilla. All buttercream icing.

X Marks the spot! There was a "treasure map" circling around the bottom tier

Top of the cake- skull and cross bones
Happy Birthday Brady! Hope you enjoyed your day! :)
