I had this sweet beauty leave the Cafe today. This is an 8" round, four layer high, triple chocolate cake with cookies and cream buttercream filling. Also covered on the outside with cookies and cream buttercream, and decorated with mini chocolate chips, chocolate drip coating and oreo cookies. This cake is a chocolate and cookie lovers dream. π
Now that's one tall mug of birthday celebration!!πΊThis giant beer mug is an 8" round, six layer high, funfetti flavored cake. Each layer is separated with a creamy strawberry filling made from real strawberries and a strawberry flavored creamy buttercream, and covered on the outside with a vanilla buttercream. The beer foam is a mixture of buttercream and mini marshmallows. Feliz Cumpleanos, Alejandro! I hope you enjoy your cake and have a great birthday! π₯³
I am addicted to making buttercream flowers, so I just love it when a customer asks me for a cake for someone who loves flowers. Perfect example: this beautiful triple chocolate cake with CWCs signature buttercream filling, covering, and flowers. This is a large 12", 4 layer, 6" high birthday cake for a special 70th birthday! π₯³
Okay y'all, any of you out there with kids or grandkids that love the Disney show "Bluey" will understand this cake 100%. (And no I have not lost my touch. This cake was meant to look like a finished project from "Nailed It". LOL) This is a CWC version of the famous "duck cake" from the show. This cake really challenged my OCD since the cake in the episode was a very imperfect mess of a cake. It was a struggle for me not to straighten things out. Lol but he turned out so ugly he was kinda cute. Ha This was a funfetti flavored cake with CWCs signature buttercream. The popcorn was actually made from marshmallows (last night's late night project) and were a hit with the kiddos. Happy 1st Birthday Jasper!! π₯³β€οΈ
Lilo and Stitch were in the Cafe this weekend! This big beauty is a 12" round, four layer high triple chocolate cake, layered throughout and covered in CWCs signature buttercream. With the multiple shades of blue in the sky, and rippled water background, it's the perfect tropical setting for Lilo and Stitch. All flowers, leaves, starfish, and clouds were handmade here in the cafe out of sugar gum paste. And Lilo, Stitch, and the palm trees were all constructed from gum paste and icing sheets. Happy Birthday, Nola! I hope you have a great day and enjoy your cake! π₯³
A cake after my own heart left the Cafe today. This one is a combination of my two favorite things: chocolate and strawberries! ππ This is an 8" round, four layer high triple chocolate cake. It's layered throughout with a strawberry filling made from strawberries and a cream cheese/buttercream frosting. The outside is covered with a strawberry vanilla buttercream with real strawberries pieces mixed in. And topped off with a chocolate drip topping and chocolate covered strawberries. β€οΈ
It's a beautiful day to save lives. Or eat cake. π Especially this cake. This is a 10 inch round, four layer high, chocolate fudge cake with peanut butter buttercream layered throughout and CWC's vanilla buttercream coating the outside. All decorations are handmade out of sugar gum paste and icing sheets. Now that's a sweet birthday surprise! πππ
** SAVE THE DATE **
Anybody that knows me knows that I am CRAZY over Fall and Halloween! It's my absolute favorite time of year! Especially when it comes to my baking creations. And CWC is excited to announce that it has officially locked in a spot at Southgate Crossing for their Fall Festival coming up on October 7th!! Mark your calendars because you won't want to miss this one. I will have an entirely new line up of sweet treats for this event and a new display set up that you'll definitely want to see in person. Stay tuned for updates as the date gets closer. Hope to see y'all there! π
Mickey Mouse is in the house! He's on his way to help a special someone celebrate a special birthday. A golden 50th birthday celebrated in true Disney style. This is a 1/4 sheet, two layer high, chocolate and vanilla marble cake. Layered and covered in CWC's signature vanilla buttercream. Welcome to the 50 club! Happy Birthday, Ronica!! π₯³
CWC is loving the support for kids' sports this summer! Another round of personalized baseballs left the Cafe this morning. Hats off to all the coaches and parents that make it all possible! βΎοΈ
Happy Fourth of July everyone! And what better day to have a colorful birthday like this one than today? This is a fun circus themed party with two matching cakes: an 8" round for the guests and a 6" round as the smash cake. Both cakes have half and half layers of french vanilla and triple chocolate cake, layered throughout with CWC's signature vanilla buttercream. And decorated on the outside with colorful buttercream and cute circus characters. Happy Birthday! Hope you enjoyed your special day! π₯³
Happy July everybody!! Just a little heads up for y'all, CWC is fully booked for this month. I "might" have a couple of spaces for some smaller projects but for any larger orders, the calendar for July is full. You are all #1 awesome! Thank you for all of your orders and supporting my small business!
Also, the Cafe will be closed starting August 12th thru August 19th. I will be on vacation in my happy place: Mackinaw. Looking forward to spending time in the UP, but phone service up there isn't always the best. So if anyone messages me that week, please have some patience for my response time. π I still have a little room on my schedule for the last two weeks of August, but I'm already taking orders for September and of course October (Halloween! Yay!) So get your orders in early to secure yourself a spot. I look forward to hearing from you! π
I made a little sneak trip to South Bend today to surprise my brothers with some special personalized cookies. These last few years have had some difficult times for our family, but one thing I've always had and am beyond thankful for are my big brothers. They've been there for me thru good times and bad so I just wanted to give them a little something to let them know I appreciate them. And also to let them know how proud I am of them and seeing them using their talents, and living out their happiness. Brian, I'll be out to one of your next performances this summer for sure! And John, I can't wait to get to the track to see you run that big blue! Thank you guys! Love ya both! β€οΈ
Okay y'all, doing a little experimenting in the cafe today. As I was trying to find a purpose for these "not so ripe anymore" lemons, I decided to make my first attempt at something I've been wanting to try for awhile now: hyperrealistic cake art. One of these lemons is not like the others. Ha In fact it's a funfetti cake ball. I think I'm hooked on this type of cake art already! π stay tuned for more creations to come!
CWC had these adorable team baseballs go out today! These are our chocolate chip sugar cookies decorated with each player's name and a few for the coaches too. Thank you, Sabrina for reaching out to CWC for your team's sweet treat! πβΎοΈ
Another event in the books for CWC! This event was a little quieter, but still a good time with great people. What I love about these events is seeing friends we've made along the way. And making new friends each time. Southgate Crossing has a great group of vendors who help, support, and encourage each other. Making this location CWCs favorite spot. And we were beyond happy to share this today with musician Brian Mach. He played some awesome tunes, we had some laughs, and I even scored myself a Brian Mach tshirt! All in all it was a great day! Thank you Brian for coming out!! Hope we can do it again soon π
And we had a first here at CWC this weekend. This was a Sonic themed birthday party for Ryker's 5th birthday. Full of sugar cookies, cupcakes and cake pops of white and chocolate cake. But what makes these items special is that they were all decorated with dye free food coloring. Made with 100% vegetable juices and no artificial dyes. But still just as cute and just as yummy! π
We also had a graduation party, with jersey, baseball, and leaf sugar cookies. I'm loving the Goshen purple colors of course! πβ€οΈ
CWC had a week full of a variety of events. Starting with these baby shower cupcakes. These are a blueberry lemon cupcake made with fresh blueberries and lemons. And of course decorated with some signature CWC glitter bling. Congratulations on your upcoming bundle of joy! π
