Miniature Wedding Cakes

Mini 2 tiered individual wedding cake favors. 130 were made for my cousin's wedding this weekend.

This picture shows the detail on the top of each cake which matched the wedding cake.
Each mini-cake boxed and ready for the big day!
I'll be having visions of this picture while I sleep for a very long time!

A VERY special thank you goes out to my mom, grandmother, Aunt Sherrie, cousin Paige, friend Marilyn and Diane for helping me with this project. It took three straight days and HOURS of prep but we did it! I really can't thank these fabulous ladies enough- I love you all!!

Curious George

This is a Curious George I hand-made out of fondant- he's about 5-inches tall.

New Site!

Hi Everyone!

I finally decided to stop using the facebook link for the pictures of my cakes. What started off as a small hobby has become bigger by the week. I'm loving all the ideas people are asking me to come up with!

I hope you enjoy my site!
