Can you say sweet treat? It doesn't get much sweeter than this bad boy. This is a 10", German Chocolate cake layered and covered throughout with a coconut pecan frosting. Decorated around the bottom and top edge with real crushed pecans, and finished off with a Ghirardelli chocolate drip. And let's not forget the real maraschino cherry to top it all off. I hope your birthday is as sweet as this cake! Happy Birthday! 🥳

Happy Monday everybody! Just a reminder that we only have two weeks now until the South Bend Artisan Market at the Century Center! Cake Walk Cafe will have a booth there on March 11th and 12th, so mark your calendars. We'll have plenty of sweet treats for direct purchase. I will also have some displays of my upcoming Easter items, and will be taking pre-orders for those as well. We look forward to seeing y'all there!

And topping off another busy day at CWC, was an order of our popular brownies. These are individually packed sizes of our extra chocolately, fudgy brownies. Topped off with some melted Ghirardelli chocolate with some pink heart sprinkles just to make them even sweeter. (And cuter 🙂) the perfect sweet treat to brighten up this cold and rainy day.

And accompanying that adorable cupcake variety pack, was this Wrigley Field cake. This is a 10" square, three layer, triple chocolate cake. Completely filled and covered in CWCs signature vanilla buttercream. I love making these cakes because there's so many different versions of Wrigley Field cake styles. This one has the Field set into the cake with the crowds of "fans" in the stands. With plenty of lights to light up the field. 😎

A little variety cupcake pack left the Cafe today. A mixture of just a few of the flavors that you can find here at CWC. This pack contained: Red Velvet, Strawberry, Cookies and cream, Butter pecan, Funfetti, and Carrot. 😋

Switching things up a bit at CWC today with these Paleo cupcakes! These are a vanilla paleo cupcake with paleo buttercream. They are done up in the Spartan colors of red and black with edible glitter, which is also Paleo friendly. 🙂 Perfect for those of us that try to avoid white sugar, white flour, etc. These are made with all gluten free ingredients, such as almond flour, coconut oil, honey, maple sugar, to name a few. The perfect healthy alternative to satisfy that sweet tooth. 🦷🧁

Creating this Starbucks cake gave me a craving for Starbucks coffee. Good thing they opened at 6am this morning. Ha This is a large, 10" strawberry flavored cake with vanilla buttercream. The "spilled Starbucks drink" is a combination of swirled pink buttercream frosting and melted pink candy melts. And topping off the decorations are some real 100% strawberry fruit crisps. Accompanying this strawberry delight, are one dozen chocolate mocha coffee cupcakes with a coffee latte buttercream. The perfect combination for this coffee themed birthday party. 😋

Had a good time tonight at a Carpenter Company retirement dinner for a long time good friend. I had the honor of making his cake for his party and really loved the contrast from the actual picture of the rig he first drove for Carpenter 40+ years ago, to the one he drove right before he retired this year. This is a half sheet vanilla cake, layered with chocolate buttercream filling drizzled with real melted chocolate, and loaded on the outside with a super sweet chocolate buttercream. Happy Retirement, Mark (Thin Man)! Wishing you the best! 🙂

Loving the theme of this 50th birthday! I started with a half sheet cake that is half chocolate and half vanilla flavored. Covered in vanilla buttercream and decorated with buttercream rosettes and roses, and of course topped off with glitter dust anywhere I could add it. 🙂 And what's a 50th birthday without CWCs sugar cookies? All in the wine theme of the party with sparkly wine glass cookies and adorable wine puns, they're the perfect sweet treat to top off the big 5-0! Welcome to the 50 club, Vicky! I hope you have a great birthday! 🥳

❤️💋 Happy Valentine's Day from Cake Walk Cafe! This gift basket full of Valentine Otters is on its way to brighten an office near you! The otters are CWCs classic sugar cookie. And the otter sayings cookies are a brownie chocolate chip sugar cookie. Just a little added sweetness on this sweet treat filled day. 😋❤️💋

Is there any dog more adorable than a dachshund? Turns out there is: how about a family of chocolate dachshunds on a cake? 😁 This is a half chocolate, half vanilla cake, in a half sheet size. (That's alot of halves ha) This cake is layered and covered in vanilla buttercream, and decorated with little chocolate dachshunds. These pups were hand crafted here in the cafe out of modeling chocolate and are completely edible. Happy 60th Birthday, Alex!

One more week to go! Don't forget to mark your calendars for next Saturday, February 11th. Come on out and see us at our booth. We're going to have a ton of Valentine's sweet treats available for purchase, and even some superbowl treats. There will also be some special baking themed items (pot holders, tumblers, etc) available to buy. Not to mention all the other awesome vendors that will be attending. Come check it out! 😁

This beautiful mint green cake left the Cafe today. This is an 8" round French vanilla cake, layered and covered in CWCs signature vanilla buttercream. The stethoscope was also handmade here in the cafe out of sugar gum paste and jazzed up with some edible disco glitter. Congratulations Julie!! 🥳 I hope this cake helps to make your special day even more special!

Okay folks, time for your daily dose of cuteness! When this adorable 5 year old customer of mine draws a picture of a cake, and asks CWC to make it come to life, you can bet we're going to make it happen! Skylar is the star of the show today, she asked her mom to send me this picture of a Halloween, Valentine's Day cake. She designed everything about it. From the flavor (chocolate) to every color, spider, witch hat and heart, this girl designed a winner. And that big smile on her face says it all! I think I nailed it. Haha thank you Skylar for your awesome design! And thank you to her mom, Kaitlyn for supporting her in her creativity.❤️

CWC's latest creations: a cake and cookies made for a princess. A Sweet 16 princess that is. This two tiered cake holds two wonderfully sweet flavored cakes. The bottom 8" tier is a vanilla cake layered with a made from scratch raspberry filling and whipped cream frosting, made with fresh raspberries. Covered in buttercream rosettes in an ombre of rose gold, blush, and cream. Which of course are blinged out in gold, rose gold, and blush pink glitter and luster dust. The top tier is a confetti flavored cake, layered and covered in vanilla buttercream, blinged out with gold candy pearls. And topped off with a little edible glitter to bring out that sweet 16 shine. All of this is accompanied by some of CWC's signature sugar cookies, beautifully decorated to match the occasion. Happy Sweet 16, Kaylen!! Enjoy! 🥳

When someone says, they'd like a birthday cake for their husband and he's an avid reader. Do you have any ideas? Oh you bet ya CWC had an idea: a carousel of cake books! 😁 This is a large 10" round, four layer high, butter pecan cake with a maple buttercream filling. Decorations are made from a mixture of fondant and sugar gum paste. The books have general designs and titles except for a few that were designed with some of his favorite book titles. (And a few plant decorations and titles since plants are also a hobby of his.) Accompanying this butter pecan cake were a dozen cupcakes in matching colors. These were half chocolate and half vanilla flavors.😋

Okay y'all, time for a little reminder. 😉 Only three weeks to go until the Valentine's Vendor Market at Southgate Crossing!! Cake Walk Cafe will be there with a booth loaded with Valentine's Day sweet treats ready for direct sale! And we'll also be having a few freebie items, just to thank you for coming out and supporting us with your purchases. We look forward to seeing y'all there! Mark your calendars for February 11th💘

This awesome stack of birthday sweetness left the Cafe today. This is an 8" round, four layer high, cookies and cream flavored cake. Layered inside with chocolate chip vanilla buttercream, and covered outside with cookies and cream buttercream. Topped off with a Ghirardelli rich chocolate drip and oreo cookies for decoration. This one was hard to let go. All of my favorites in one package! 😋

Let the party begin with this cute and colorful cake! This is a 10", four layer high French vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream. The "TWO" on top of the cake is made out of CWCs signature sugar cookies. The Sesame Street sign and all the red swirl decorations were made here in the cafe out of sugar gum paste. Along with the chocolate chip "cookies", pieces and crumbs that cookie monster attacked on the side of the cake. They may look like real cookies, but they were created here by hand. 😉Happy Birthday, Margot!! 🥳
