When a customer sends you two pictures of the most adorable cats you've seen and asks you to make a "cartoon" version of each one on a sugar cookie, you say: "challenge accepted". These are CWC's large 4" cookie size, with all designs being hand sketched using the picture as a guide, and then drawing the sketch freehand with royal icing directly onto the cookie. Surrounding each cat with a golden icing frame for their cartoon portrait. And the hearts were covered in edible luster dust and glitter, with each cookie individually packaged for freshness and cleanliness.
Amid all of the Halloween hubbub this week, CWC also had these cute baby reveal sugar cookies. Loving the shades of blue. Congratulations on your upcoming bundle of joy!
Welcome Baby Boy!!!
And Halloween wouldn't be complete without some decorated sugar cookies. Had some of our soft bite sugar cookies go out for the holiday, all decked out for Halloween and covered in edible bling for that spooky sparkle!
And the final item for the 1st birthday celebration, were CWCs sugar cookies in pumpkins and #1 shapes. All cookies decorated with matching flowers and designs to complete the little pumpkin theme. Happy 1st Birthday!!
Accompanying the little pumpkin smash cake were these matching pumpkin and flower cupcakes. All of the pink cupcakes were a vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream topping. All of the orange cupcakes were a pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting. All cupcakes were topped off with real gold leaf and edible glitter for that extra sparkle.
CWC also had the honor of being a part of this little one's first birthday celebration. Loving the little pumpkin theme and colors! Starting first with the little pumpkin smash cake. This is a French vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream throughout, including the hand piped flowers. With a dusting of edible gold flakes and sparkle, its sure to catch the little one's eye.
The sesame street crew paid a visit to the cafe this weekend. Helping to celebrate a special birthday with CWCs signature sugar cookies. Soft, sweet, buttery, and full of vanilla and almond flavor, they're the perfect addition to any birthday celebration. Happy Birthday!
Another busy week at CWC, starting with these Cookies 'n' Cream cupcakes. Each cupcake is packed with crushed oreos and rich vanilla flavor, topped off with an oreo vanilla buttercream and even more chopped oreos. Because you can never have too many . Here's wishing you one sweet birthday!

A picture of the dessert table from the wedding
CWC had the honor of making the cake and dessert table for the most beautiful wedding this weekend. The four tiered wedding cake had one 6" vanilla tier, two chocolate tiers (8" and 10"), and one 15" almond tier. All tiers were layered with vanilla buttercream and covered on the outside with maple buttercream. The full spread dessert table contained: mini strawberry cheesecakes, vanilla and chocolate cake pops, hazelnut truffles, chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal walnut cookies, chocolate mousse cups, strawberry mousse cups, and apple mousse cups. Thank you for letting CWC be a part of your special day. Congratulations Alexis and Parker!
It's October! And that means that we have officially entered Cake Walk Cafe's favorite season! Starting out the spooky season with our popular "naked" Halloween sugar cookies. These adorable pumpkins and ghosts are packaged individually for freshness and are ready for some DIY decorating. Perfect for any upcoming kids parties or just for some weekend family time fun to get in the spirit. These will be available on the CWC menu for the entire month of October.
It's hard to believe but it's already the end of the soccer season this week. Both Cake Walk Cafe teams did an awesome job this season, and I really enjoyed getting to see the Littles play. We celebrated the last game with CWC's vanilla cake sandwiches with vanilla buttercream filling and colorful soccer ball designs baked right into the cake. Great work this year Team Cake!! See y'all next year!
CWC had these awesome sugar cookies go out for a local podcast event in our hometown of South Bend, Indiana. If you get a chance, check out their Facebook page: Startup South Bend/Elkhart.
Also leaving the Cafe this weekend was this game controller cake. This cake is a two layer high, oreo cookie and cream flavored cake. The shape was hand carved in order to get the larger size I needed. No formed pans used here. Each decoration was made from chocolate and vanilla fondant with the entire cake being wrapped in vanilla fondant for that smooth look, and dusted with blue luster dust for that extra shine. Happy Birthday!
Custom cakes from CWC come in all shapes, sizes, designs and flavors. Like this special little guy. This is a simple 6" square, three thick layers high, half chocolate and half vanilla cake, covered in a vanilla buttercream and crushed oreos. Three of the greatest flavors all blended into one.
I love when baby showers come through CWC. All the pretty pinks, blues, and sparkles get me every time. These pretty sugar cookies left the Cafe today on their way to help celebrate an upcoming arrival. Congratulations on your bundle of joy!
Who says you have to pick only one theme for a birthday cake? Not here at Cake Walk Cafe! This 8", three layer high beauty is sporting THREE themes. I love when I have a customer who has the same creative vision for cake designs as I do. This is CWCs signature French Vanilla cake with layers of almond buttercream throughout. The outside is decorated with vanilla buttercream, with all handmade decorations made with sculpting chocolate and real vanilla chocolate for the tools. Edible icing pictures and chocolate candy "rocks" complete the look. And another hidden surprise? The middle of the cake is filled with chocolate candy rocks, gold sprinkles, and candy hammers that will spill out with each piece cut. Happy Birthday Corbin!
This adorable "How to Train a Dragon" themed cake was special in more ways than one. This is a 6", three layer high, triple chocolate cake with vanilla/almond buttercream. All decorations were made with edible sculpting chocolate. Now here's what makes this cake different. Every inch of this cake and decorations, are DYE FREE. From the marbled gray look to each and every flower, rock, and blade of grass, you won't find any artificial coloring here. A combination of all natural black cocoa and plant based dye free colors, are just the icing on the cake for this birthday celebration. Happy 8th Birthday Zia!!
