Learn Something New Every Day…

And for my staff- the weekend was FULL of learning! We were so excited to have the opportunity to try new things this weekend! This is why my “job” is so exciting Kristin had a FUN time (tongue in cheek) tackling a fondant camo cake- tried a few different techniques, but settled on one that made us happy. Robin crafted turrets and had the maddening task of creating gumpaste cones- but they turned out sooo pretty! Amanda sparred with ganache and won!!! I recently bought some new stencils and was able to use them on a baby shower cake- LOVE the way they turned out. Giraffe, zebra, and cheetah! We all grew as decorators this weekend and look forward to more challenges!

We’ve been so busy making great cakes lately, that the posting has fallen by the wayside…but here’s a few fab cakes we’ve created recently!

Happy birthday to Aaron and Megan, and congratulations to Lauren and Alessandro- your wedding cake was perfectly elegant!

Congrats to Ashley and Robert, married 5/1/2010 at the Chapel at Chestnut Square- it was a fun cake to make, and we hope you enjoyed every bite!

Some Sweet Sweets!

Just a few fun sweet creations we’ve been lucky to make in the past week or so…

Some yummy dino cupcakes for a sweet birthday boy, our signature sugar cookies with the Texas Tech Logo for an alum, and a super cute baby shower cake incorporating the shower colors and our favorite- a big fluffy edible bow!

The Story Behind the Cake…

Sweet Art bakery loves cakes that are a tad out of the ordinary, and a cake with meaning is even better. Not your traditional wedding cake, this cake appears to have already been sampled by a four footed furry creature. The bride, Robin, and groom, Jeremy are both vet techs, and met through a work function. They decided to incorporate their love of animals in a fun and “sweet” way. Of course the faux bite was a good opportunity to do some quality control sampling. YUM!

A Brand New Mr. and Mrs!

Congrats to Victoria and Kevin, whose wedding and reception were held at the Heard Science Museum- beautiful place for a ceremony! Bride’s cake is a 3 tier buttercream creation with gumpaste fruit blossoms.

Stephanie and David- Married!

After our very first delivery to the Tower Club in downtown Dallas, I will never look at jumping out of the car and heading into a venue in the same way again. Next time I have the pleasure of delivering cakes to this beautiful venue, I will double, triple, and quadruple check that we have everything we need for the trip up to the 48th floor. After 4 trips up and down (Thankfully this is accomplished using 2 elevators)…we successfully delivered their cakes. Stephanie changed her design a couple of weeks before the wedding, but I believe it turned out so much better than the original plan- so pretty! Her 4 tier white almond buttercream cake was handpiped to mimic the pattern in her dress, with hydrangeas from Mockingbird Florist. David’s cake was a lighthearted homage to Jimmy Buffet. All decor on his cake was edible! Congratulations Mr. and Mrs!

Congrats Amber and Levi!

Amber and Levi were married this past weekend at Fairy Tale Manor in Frisco, and we had the pleasure of creating their cakes! Apparently a fan of “nostalgia”, Levi’s cake was a super fun fondant and gumpaste crafted french vanilla Nintendo, and Amber certainly proved me wrong with her seemingly odd color scheme. The yellow and purple came together fabulously on her 2 tier chocolate cake with caramel cream filling, and the colors looked great all over the room as well! They also added some yummy red velvet and strawberry cupcakes, to give their guests many delicious options. Congratulations, you two!

Plano Bridal Show a HIT!

sweetartbakery — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 02:28:06 +0000

We learned a good lesson this past weekend- take more cake than you think you’ll need! Sweet Art Bakery exhibited in the Plano Bridal Show at the Plano Centre this past weekend, and boy was it fun! It was our first show, so we didn’t really know what to expect. We had a fun time, and got to meet so many new faces- including other vendors, too! We ran out of cake with about an hour and a half to go, so when we exhibit again in September, we’re going all out! Maybe even throw in some chocolate covered cherries- YUM!

Elmo says Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Emma! We had fun making your birthday cake- can’t believe you’re already two!
