Birthday Cake

The theme of a birthday is as unique as the person celebrating it.

The cake should be just as special.

A party at a movie theater called for a retro movie cake.

This little guy’s cake just had to have stars over his tent.

Her majesty must have a tiara to top her cake.

I sculpt all the figures for all my cakes.

Playing in cake!

A babies first birthday cake is a beautiful memory.

This cake was a inspired by Abby Cadabby.

The more mess the cuter the pictures get.

Jumbo cupcake are great to smash!

Oh how I enjoy first birthday smash cakes. They are one of the most fun cakes to make. I make them with a combination of buttercream and fondant. It gives them the messy after affects and the beauty of fondant. These little cakes are designed to match the outfit or them the photographer has in mind. They are a great way to bring in some extra color. My smash cakes are normally a vanilla cake. Darker cakes tend to just look dirty. I create a custom number one to match the color scheme.

This little cake was for Scarlet. She just had to have red on her cake.

Jumbo cupcakes are also great for smashing!

My smash cakes are about $15. The jumbo cupcakes are $20.  I do give a discount if ordered in addition to the birthday cake.

So I thought I could decorate....

It has been almost two years since I started Sweet Whimsy Cakes here in Arizona. I wanted something that I could do for me. You see I had spent over seven years as a stay at home mom. I love my girls and love all their activities. My husband worked very hard and I just felt like I wasn’t fulfilling what I expected out of me. I wanted to do something I was good at other than kissing boo boos. So I had a grand idea I knew I could bake so why couldn’t I decorate. Well the first few cakes didn’t go so well but I discovered the more I read and watch tutorials the better I got. I seem to just get better with time. The part I love the most is that I can always learn something new and I get to play with my food!

This cake was the second cake I had ever tried to decorate.

My very first wedding cake one year ago.

This is one of my most recent cakes. I love the fondant baby bottle.
