Why yes, the cake we recently created for a CPI Security did talk — just like the commercials you see/hear each day on television and the radio.
The cake’s front door would say “CPI Security: Identify Yourself” when opened. Yep, opened. Talk about a WOW factor, a cake with moving parts!… read more
A few months ago we were asked to participate in a Style Me Pretty: Inspiration to Reality shoot with some of Charlotte’s most fabulous wedding vendors and WOW weren’t we were thrilled!
Essentially the principle behind these shoots is a challenge to bring each inspiration board to life and create a real (but faux) wedding.

well, an iPhone made of icing, anyways!
With all of the buzz, talk and hype around Apple’s latest product — the iPhone 4G — we thought it a good time to share some photos of a recent grooms cake we created (pictured above) that was designed by working closely with the groom’s mother.
Since he loved his iPhone (hopefully not more than his bride-to-be) his mother decided a cake modeled after this prized possession customized with “apps” specific to the groom would be a memorable and meaningful addition to his wedding celebration.
Each “app” on the cake’s front is representative … read more
