Well another event for Cake Walk Cafe has come and gone. We had another great time at the Valentines event at Southgate Crossing. Thank you so much for the awesome crowd of new customers and so many familiar faces that came out to support CWC today! I couldn't tell you how many people came out and said "I came out here just to find you!" And that's why I love doing this so much. The baking and challenge of the creations is fun, and the people are always so great to talk to. One customer saw my mini cakes today and said "look, baby cakes!" I loved that so much that they will from now on be called "baby cakes". Haha. So thank you to everyone who made this a sold out day. Y'all rock!

Okay everybody, don't forget that next weekend, Saturday, February 10th, Cake Walk Cafe will be at the Valentines Vendor Market at Southgate Crossing!! Come on out and stop by our booth to say hi and grab some sweet love treats. You will also be able to still place any last minute orders for Valentine's Day which is coming up, of course, on February 14th. ❤️ stay tuned to my page because in the next few days I will be posting some of the items that I will have at the event and that will be available to order for Valentine's Day. Hope to see y'all there!

Anyone that really knows me knows how purple is my favorite color. So when a customer asks me to make her a Wednesday Addams cake in a deep purple with lots of sparkly glitter, you can bet I was all in for it! This is an 8", four layer high, triple chocolate cake filled with layers of purple buttercream. Covered on the outside with purple buttercream and edible glitter. The decorations are a combination of edible images and hand made figures and scenery. (Thank you April!) And just to add to the purple glow, I added purple lighting around the bottom of the cake. Happy Birthday Kylah! 🥳

The weather is cold, snowy, and today it's very very wet. 😄 Perfect weather to warm up with some hot cocoa bombs! And since Valentine's Day is just around the corner, CWC will be offering these heart shaped cocoa bombs for a limited time. These will also be available at our booth at the Southgate Crossing Valentines Vendor Market coming up on February 10th. (And of course our standard round cocoa bombs are still available throughout the season.) Just message me here at the Cafe to place your orders.

And the race is on here at the Cafe! Mario and Luigi cruised in for another visit today. Using this #5 cake as a racetrack, they flew through to wish a special someone a Happy Birthday. This is a two layer vanilla cake with buttercream filling. The track, gold coins and stars are all made from edible modeling chocolate. Each race car is an actual pull back toy that can be played with long after the cake is gone. Accompanying the cake are six triple chocolate cupcakes topped with a swirl of Mario and Luigi colors. And just to add a little extra pizazz, the cake is surrounded with blue cake lights. Happy 5th Birthday Cooper! 🥳

It will be three years next month that I left my job as a trucking dispatcher from a company I worked at for 10 years. When people asked me what I was going to do now and I said "I'm going to start a home baking business." Needless to say I had alot of snickers and eye rolling when people commented "you're leaving to bake cupcakes?" Even now I get that response from people. But this adventure is much more than just "baking cupcakes." And when some people see how much time and effort I put into hand painting and hand crafting my custom cakes, cookies, and all the sweet treats I make, they think I'm equally as crazy. I've been asked why I don't buy pre-packaged items. Why I don't buy pre-made flowers and such. Well this is why: the old school made from scratch way is the best way and the best flavors. It may take longer but I believe that all those little detailed touches are what make Cake Walk Cafe stand out. I finally understand what my mom meant when she said "made with love". ❤️ So just know that every order created here at CWC is treated like its one of our own. Your special occasion is OUR special occasion. 😁

And just like that, a princess turns three! This cake was so much fun to make. Every little detail coming together to help make this little girl one happy princess. All the way down to the perfect crown that her mom found for the cake topper. (I was so excited when I saw it ha) This is a 10" round, four layer high French vanilla cake with vanilla marshmallow buttercream filling. Each rose, flower, and flowerbud decorating the outside of the cake were hand sculpted from modeling chocolate here in the cafe and are completely edible. Each little flower is perched on its own flower wire stem. Each rose is trimmed in edible glitter and gold leaf, along with the top of the cake being covered in edible prism glitter. The picture frame around the princess picture is a free hand design with buttercream and hand painted with gold leaf paint. The perfect burst of bright colors on this majorly snowy white day! Happy 3rd Birthday little one from CWC! 🥳

Valentines Day is just around the corner! And Cake Walk Cafe is happy to announce that we will be a part of the Valentine's Vendor Market at Southgate Crossing again this year! This was the first event that we ever did last year, and we had a blast doing it!! Looking forward to having a booth at this again on February 10th. Hope to see you all there! ❤️

And the first cookie birthday of the new year is on the books! These are CWC's large 4" sugar cookies decorated with our signature icing in beautiful baby blues and pale pinks. Happy Birthday, Missy! I hope you had a great day! 🥳

Introducing the first birthday cake of 2024! What better way to start the baking year than with these adorable characters. This is an 8" round, four layer high, combination cake. Meaning that each layer is baked as half vanilla and half chocolate. The best of both worlds in one cake. In between these delicious layers is a whipped cream frosting filling. The outside of the cake is covered in a whipped cream/marshmallow buttercream in a blue ombre of colors. Topped off with a white chocolate candy drip and an assortment of those lovable Toy Story characters. The Toy Story sign is an edible image on a sugar gum paste base. Congratulations Brantlee on being the first bday celebrated at CWC this year! Happy 3rd Birthday! 🥳

Only three more days left for 2023. And it's been one heck of a year for CWC! We have this week off to chill, reflect, and make plans for 2024. I couldn't be more thankful for the wonderful year that all of you have blessed us with! It still amazes me every year how much CWC has grown in such a short time. And it's all because of you, my awesome customers! New changes coming for us in 2024, so stay tuned! 😊

Cake Walk Cafe would love to wish all of our customers who supported us once again throughout the Christmas season, a very Merry Christmas!!

Y'all rock! I'm so grateful for each and every one of you that kept me so busy again this season. Wishing you and your families all the best! I'll be taking this week off for the holiday, but am already filling up for January. So feel free to message me with any upcoming events you may have for 2024. I'm looking forward to another great year with y'all!

Today's the day! Delivery day for my remaining Christmas orders. And this folks, is what 360 butter cookies looks like.😋 Ten boxes of these went out the door today. Loving the popularity of these buttery spritz cookies this season! 🎄

And of course I had a few more batches of kieflies go out for Christmas. Thank you to all of you who shared in a favorite family tradition of ours this year! ❤️

And the best finish ever? Santa Clause himself! Officially ringing in the Christmas weekend. This is another 8" round, pineapple cake with whipped buttercream filling and real crushed pineapples. Decorated on the outside with a Santa face and a glittery red Santa hat. Hopefully y'all have been good enough this year to be getting a visit from the big man himself. 😉

And what better way to wrap up this busy Christmas week than with a couple of festive cakes? The first one is an 8" round pineapple cake with whipped buttercream filling and real crushed pineapple. Decorated outside with a giant Christmas tree, snowflakes and cute little penguins, it makes the perfect center piece for any Christmas party. 🎄

And here at CWC we also know how important our pups are to our families. So they deserve a special treat from Santa too. We have some large dog biscuits and some bite site treats on their way to some lucky pups. Our pup treats are made from all natural peanut butter, pumpkin, eggs, whole wheat flour, all things good and safe for your doggos. Even the icing is safe for them made from honey and corn starch. Merry Christmas furballs! 😁

And let's not forget CWCs extra fudgy delicious brownies! They are the ultimate sweet treat for the chocolate lovers at your Christmas celebration. 😋

Little Yoshi is quickly gaining popularity here at the Cafe. And he's not afraid to rock his Christmas spirit in his own adorable style on these cute sugar cookies. Putting them all side by side, they look like a Christmas quilt. 😁 With his buddy Mario helping him, these are sure to be a hit at the class birthday/holiday party tomorrow. 🥳🎁🎄

There was a snowman and reindeer parade that marched through the Cafe. These adorable little critters were on their way to brighten up some little ones' school day. The snowmen were a strawberry cupcake while the reindeer were a triple chocolate cupcake. Both decorated with a vanilla marshmallow creamy buttercream. Merry Christmas to all the kiddos out there starting their holiday break!! 🎄
